Jalapeño’s has been around for a hot minute and I finally got the chance to make it in tonight. Hitting up Mexican restaurants seem to be the theme when my girlfriends and I go out. I was the one who suggested this place and I’m happy my friends didn’t disagree.
There’s four of us that usually meet up. Two of us showed up first and got sat. Chips and salsa were dropped off. We chilled until the other two showed up. We didn’t get anything crazy to drink. But of course beans and queso were ordered to go along with the chips. I didn’t get a chance to eat any as I can’t really share food with others right now cause of my new kidney. Our server was sweet and offered to bring me my own. I thought that was so kind of her! I declined, I wanted to fill up on my meal and not the chips.
For dinner I ordered the Pollo Loco. It comes with a side of rice, beans and tortillas. I requested that I opt out all the sides that were offered for some veggies instead.
My plate came out looking fabulous! My chicken looked so good with the jalapeños on top. There was cheese and chorizo also on top of my chicken. The side of veggies were a great variety. Onions, green peppers, zucchini and tomatoes. The chicken breast was so tender. It was savory and spicy from the chorizo and jalapeños. The veggies were perfectly sautéed. The onions and peppers were soft. The tomatoes were fresh. The zucchini was my favorite. I ate a whole chicken breast and still had another piece left. You get so much food!
The vibe of this joint of fun! We came early but towards the end of our meal, people were heading in. I can see why this place is always busy when I drive by. I used to work at this venue when it was Lone Star. You would have never known that it was previously a steak house, the way that it was remodeled is fantastic. I had a great meal. Our sever was so sweet and attentive. I’m happy my friends agreed to coming to this joint, we had such a good time! I look forward to coming back very soon.

Nothing short of great, I tend to almost never hand out reviews for 1-3 star restaurants as I feel as though my opinion and criticism could be wrong. I try to keep a review for food that really grabs my attention. I came in with the wifey, ordered a chimichanga with shrimp and chicken as my meat. Typical sides of course.
Shrimp – 9/10: There was no rubbery feeling or texture, borderline perfectly cooked shrimp.
Chicken – 8/10: Could use the slightest pinch of seasoning in addition to what it has. Other than that, great taste. No complaints.
Tortilla shell – 11/10: Hard to explain the sheer shock I experienced when biting into this. Your typical “Mexican joint” chimichanga doesn’t have the crunchiness, yet softness that this tortilla has, to me this is nothing short of a magic trick. Great job to them folk in the kitchen.
Rice – 8.5/10 : Pairs great with the rest of the food, best when hot (duh).
Pico – 6/10 : The flavor is there, I personally am not a big fan of ONIONS. If you’re a real adult, then this pico is completely fine.
Beans – 7/10 : Beans were tasteful, nothing crazy.
Large size to go drink so very nice! (Wife’s extra points)

Overall experience wasn’t bad. The waiter was polite but not very personable or sociable, accept right at the end of the meal. Service felt slightly forced. But it’s understandable because the waiter did have a couple of tables, but nothing too bad.
The Food was decent, not bad but definitely not worth 22$ for a plate. The complimentary chips were actually really good, probably some of the best. And the salsa that came with them was very yummy. We did pay an extra $1.00 for the bean dip, but I wouldn’t recommend it it’s super watered down and lacks flavor. The rice and beans just were meh.
Overall didn’t feel worth the bill, but if you wanna try it out I’d say go for it. We paid 45$ for two burritos. Which isn’t too bad of a price.

Food was delicious I don’t have to say anything about it we had the azada plate me an my wife and really enjoyed. The only complaint I have is for the waitress, she took our order and everything was good but she never stop in our table to ask us if we needed something else, my wife was in need of a napkin and she was passing by to serve another tables and never stop by our table to ask us anything. I had to share my napkin with her. as Mexican we felt little bit discriminate here because she didn’t have the same attitude with the table behind and in front of us. That is not a Good service. First time something like this happened to us in a Mexican restaurant.

Been there twice, both times were after people said “Yes” to their dress, I don’t remember who my server was last year but this go ’round we had Tito and he was absolutely fantastic! The margaritas were perfect, the food is delicious, and now I’m wondering which friends is saying yes next because I know where we’re going!

Excellent service with friendly staff. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. Food is top tier!!! Absolutely delicious!! My only complaint is serving sizes have dwindle over the years. I always order the enchiladas Verdes which used to come with three for $13, now only two for $16.

I’m a vegan and eating out at Mexican restaurants isn’t easy. Here I found good options. I had the garden tacos which was some of the best vegetarian tacos I’ve had in a very long time. The veggies were fresh. Another important thing for me, is I find generally most Mexican restaurants use animal fat in their beans. That was not the case here. So not only could I enjoy them, but they were also very favorable.
Both my son and I weren’t fond of our alcoholic beverage and didn’t even drink half. Left our drinks nearly full on the table. But it didn’t effect my review since maybe I should have ordered top shelf. Good alcoholic improves the taste. So that’s on me I bet.
Our waitress was thorough, fast and friendly.

The atmosphere is standard for a Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa were above average. I ordered Irma’s Special as suggested by the waitress. I liked the zucchini in the dish as this is the first I have seen it in a Mexican dish. The tomato base had an unusual flavor that I was not a fan of. The rice had ok flavor but was dry. The waitress was nice. They appeared to have an extensive bar.

Great food and affordable prices. Used to go to Enriques in Kuna where I live but travel to eat here as I don’t have to fight a crowd and food is better and cheaper.

Well the service is definitely sub par as when we go there the staff does not seem to care to give at least standard service. I think they really don’t want to be there. They are down to two restaurants for three I believe. The food is just standard Tex Mex style food. Little flavor with runny refried beans. The colors of the inside gave it that Mexican place but for us we have found better places when the staff are very pleasant and the owner is on the floor like Casa Mexico that we tried last week. It’s just ok. Oops forgot to put the address in. They are at 8799 w franklin rd Boise
