I mainly stopped in here as it was directly across the street from my hotel, and I wanted to pick an independently owned or mom-and-pop kind of restaurant. Friendly and courteous and professional staff. The choriqueso was generously sized and way better than what you would find at chipotle. The veggie burrito had freshly-grilled vegetables. The margarita menu looks enticing and this looks like a chill spot to relax.
1st Review: I went here for the first time and I was very pleased with the food. My wife and I ordered steak tacos and they were delicious. The food was hot, and made in a timely manner. I will definately be coming back for more in the near future.
2nd: I went back again, and I was very pleased with the food and service!
I gave El Jalapeno 5 stars for the service and atmosphere. Our server wasn't just friendly; he really loved his job and it showed. Let me add that we had a party of 20. Not only were they able to accommodate us (with a reservation), but the server was excellent at remembering orders, keeping track of who was on which bill and showing that he actually enjoyed the challenge!
Also a quick heads up for the superb 32-oz horchata and the fact that there were many other great options that weren't pop or alcohol.
Oh, and with all that it was still quiet enough for good conversations. No pesky TVs or piped-in music. Highly recommend. I would go there again anytime.
I went there for lunch with my coworkers and was NOT disappointed.
Their lunch specials were reasonably priced and came with large portions. I ordered a lunch special #10 and got an enchilada, tostada, and a quesadilla all for around $7.
The waiter was kind and provided quick service.
I'd definitely go again and I'd suggest you all do too!
The food was great! The Chille poblano was excellent! I'll be back!
Always good food/service here, and I have never waited more than a couple minutes to be seated. They have daily specials, and everything I've tried is fantastic! Check out their awesome pitcher specials too, and the margaritas are ALWAYS tasty!
Eat here quite a bit never had a bad experience, Food was great and the waitress was great and on time.🫔🌮🍻
Had a group of 15 students in town for Nat'l FFA Convention at lunchtime. Sat us all at one table, ordered and ready quickly. Food was delicious! $200 for a big group of kids + tip. Pretty good deal, nobody left hungry!
What a great place to eat. We are from Toledo Ohio and this place is the bomb. Great food. Clean. Highly recommend
Great customer service and really good food! They have one of the best margaritas around!

Still a great place to eat!!! Love the Texas fajitas and a great Texas Margarita 🍹!
Came here for lunch, but got here the same time as the church crowds, so they were pretty busy. Still got seated quickly, but service was a bit overwhelmed. The standard chips and salsa were ok, though the chips could've been livened up with a bit of salt, and perhaps a touch of lime. Still waiting for some place to figure out that chips dusted in Tajin would be a game changer. The order of choriqueso was pretty generous, though some extra chips would have been appreciated, as I didn't have enough to finish the dip. (They asked if I needed more chips, but forgot to bring them.) For the entree, I deviated from my usual enchiladas platter and went with the chilaquiles. Solid move. Tortilla chips smothered in ranchero sauce and cheese with shredded chicken. That was something else! And portion size was generous enough that I took home enough for a second meal! Definitely look forward to returning.
Great food and drinks. Nice atmosphere. The wait staff and guy seating were pretty inattentive unfortunately. We wanted to order desserts but waited so long for refills, boxes, and our check we were ready to leave. And yes we spent about 75 a person for 6...
We wanted Mexican food, and this place popped up on our search. It was actually our 3rd choice. Place 1 was so busy their lot was full. Option 2 was a bit pricy. Once seated, waited maybe 3 minutes as they finished wiping off our table, the prices were a bit higher then we wanted, but we were hungry.
OMG, the waiter was super friendly, made a few suggestions based on questions we asked, and even showed us a better value for our dollar. Food was out in short order, we hadn't even finished the chip basket.
The portions were awesome, definitely worth the money. Including tip 2 of us ate for $45, no alcohol, but we did get an appetizer, and as we piled our extra food into carey out containers, they offered us togo drinks (no charge).
We will DEFINITELY be going back, taking the parents as well, and maybe even our neighbors who love Mexican food as well.
Love the food here. We dine in at least once a week. Friendly and fast service!
Great experience solo dining while passing through. Proficient and fast service. The shrimp tacos didn't disappoint. Diverse and inexpensive Margarita pitcher options were immaculate. 10 out of 10. I'm coming back everytime I'm in Indy!!
Excellent, delicious food, will definitely be back. My family loved it, even the kids. Portions were good sizes, we even had leftovers.
