Jalapenos Mexican - Eagle River

Taco Salat was soggy and the service was bad. The food was overpriced given the quality of quantity.

Eagle River location. Horrible service. Expect to be nickle and dimed. I ordered the chimichanga, pictured below, it was pretty decent with the exception of the queso side. A few flakes of shredded cheese vs queso. When I asked if they would actually put cheese on it they brought out a small cup of cheese AND THEN charged me $2.99 for what should have already been on top of my meal. Waitress seemed to not want to be bothered with refilling our water glasses, etc. Pro tip to the owners if they even read these reviews chips and salsa is a nice, expected touch from a Mexican restaurant but serving them with a church sized communion cup of salsa not so much. Stop being so cheap. I have to imagine the average patron spends $20 to $25 per person. With that provide better service, stop being so cheap on the extras, and drive some quality control from the meals your kitchen staff is sending to the tables. With that you might win my business back. As of now and without some major improvement the most recent $65 I spent last Sunday for me and my wife will be my last. One more thing and this probably isn 't your issue BUT having ONE handicapped spot in the entire complex is a joke.

? Amazing place. Here is one of our fav places in our Alaska trip. Price and quality balance is perfect. They bring nachos right after you arrived. I love these kind of small things in restaurants. We got Fajitas. I highly recommend to taste it. Also comes with rice, beans, salad, sour cream and tortillas. You can ask for less not to waste them because there are 4 of them. The lady was so welcoming and geniune. Lovely place. ?

Ok just to set the facts I'm kind of a picky eater. I ordered the Amazing Tacos Mini grilled asada tacos with chorizo! $17.50 There are 5 small tacos and I ordered rice on the side. The rice was fantastic probably the best I've had at a Mexican reasturant since I can't remember when. The chorizo was not my favorite at all I didn't like the flavor and was a little greasy for me. I ate them but I should stick with plain beef tacos. The service was great but thought the food took a little longer than it should have. Then again we do have a lot of people not wanting to work so good on the ones that do work there. The rest of the family had no complaints about their meals. I would give 41/2 stars if I could. Don't hesitate to eat here or the one in anchorage. Again the staff was really nice and stayed on top of everything.

The owner made me a steak burrito for lunch today and it may have been THE BEST burrito that I have had up in Alaska. The rice in it was good and the meat was seasoned very nicely. I have had burritos other places and they were kind of flavorless compared to Jalepenos. If you see him call him Mr. AMAZING I have made it a point to head out there one night soon for dinner to try out some more of there items on the menu. 08/24/2021 lunch is served. Enjoy the photos
