The Jalapeno Tree is a family owned full service restaurant with a passion for Crazy Good Mexican Food. We strive to create a family friendly environment with a focus on fresh food, quality ingredients and exemplary service. Celebrating over 30 years of business has allowed our Pepper Posse team to create unique food experiences using fresh, healthy ingredients in a made to order scratch kitchen. While fajitas remain a local favorite, items like our Summer Salmon Salad with fresh watermelon, oranges, pineapple, and salmon over a bed of greens provide refreshing options. We know rice and beans are a must for Mexican Food but, we like to change things up with offerings of squash/zucchini, tortilla soup, and Key West veggies as optional sides
Informal Mexican chain with a big menu of hearty staples, plus a few American dishes.

I’ve been to this location 3 times now and it’s really good. I’m not from the area as I travel to see my son. This is always the stop I make. My waitress Kayla was awesome! The food is always fresh and flavorful.

Not bad. Cool decor. Carne Asado was very weird. Super tender but some kind of odd flavor and not sure how they made it that tender. Salsa choices were all sweet, not really my thing. Service was excellent!

1st problem…When we got there it was literally freezing and multiple people were complaining and they didn’t turn the ac off for a little bit until someone got mad and said they were leaving if they didn’t turn it off!
2nd problem…Waitress was not very good with getting some of our order right and just had a weird personality.
3rd problem…Most of the food tasted like a TV dinner in the frozen food section of the grocery store. The tortillas were fresh and good though!
With all the high prices of everything nowadays, it’s just not worth throwing your money away for this food. We will not be back!

We had a larger party (16 in all). We were seated promptly. Kayla was our server. She was amazing! So pleasant and organized. She was very attentive to the needs of the table. Her energy stayed positive all evening! All of the staff were just as great and friendly. Thank you for a grand evening!

I ordered the single order of fajitas couldn’t believe my eyes when they brought it to my table there was hardly anything there hardly any meat hardly any vegetables(jalapeno tree in Athens Texas) didn’t even sizzle like fajitas are supposed to when they bring it to your table. Paid 25 dollars for this. I’m used to the fajitas in Arkansas(fort Smith) (just a single order)you get A pile of sizzling meat and veggies. My fajitas didn’t even really have any flavor so disappointed. When I come back to Texas I will never come back to this restaurant. Look up the picture I posted this was my order of fajitas at the jalapeno tree. That’s just sick looking. And it most definitely was not hot and sizzling when it was brought to my table. NEVER AGAIN!

The food was great and got out fast! My server Donnie was visiting from another store to help out but did an amazing job as my waiter! The manager on shift was also amazing! I have social anxiety and find it difficult to go to restaurants by myself but they both made me feel super comfortable and I will be coming back!

Melissa did an excellent job today! She was very friendly & checked on us a lot. She should probably be a trainer for other waitresses.
Brandon brought all our chips & hot sauce. He was very nice.

My wife and I came in for a late lunch. The host greeted us and seated us, and then…we were ghosted like a bad Tinder date. No chips, no salsa, no drinks—nothing. We waited several minutes, staring into the void like extras in a slow-motion scene. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so it wasn’t some mysterious crowd chaos—it was just us, ignored, fading away into oblivion. Eventually, we left and went next door to Applebee’s, where they actually know how to take care of guests: drinks, smiles, and a little human interaction. Honestly, the staff here could use a lesson in the lost art of acknowledging humans before they vanish into thin air.
