We were just meandering through this area recently and discovered the cute little downtown area of Farmersville. Five out of six locals recommended this place. I checked it out on YELP and it only had 3.5 stars, so that gave me a little pause. However, five out of six locals can't be wrong, right? The first thing you notice are the prices...it's like you stepped back into 2015; hardly any entree's over $9.99. along with the obligatory chips and salsa, they also offer free queso. My wife had the "Mexican plate" - 2 tamales, an enchiladas and crispy taco, rice and beans - $9.99. I had 12 shrimp in a chipotle sauce with rice and corn tortillas - $10.99. The beer and margaritas are also incredibly affordable compared to most places these days. Is it the best Mexican food that I've ever had? No. But it was quite good and I would certainly eat here again. Our servers were great - Michelle is quiet and efficient. Mona is efficient and a bit of a prankster. Excellent teamwork. Jalapeño's, keep up the great work!! read more

Never got a chance to get seated, never got a chance to eat. We're waiting on a table to finish being cleaned and some dude walks in and sits down at that table. Granted they were very busy and I understand that but the service was not very good despite that. Even when you're busy you still have to provide good service. read more

Been here twice. This is small town Mexican food, hole in the wall type place. You seat yourself when you arrive (there are no signs about this). If there are no tables available, you wait for one. The menu has a lot of food and combo options. They do have a bar, but didn't seem to have a bartender. The servers were making their own drinks, so you can't expect to place a fancy bar order here. They dont bring you a check, you just pay at the front and they'll know what to charge. Service is slow, for any small time town. No need to hurry through dinner, just sit and relax and your food will be ready when its ready. They do provide chips, salsa and queso for every guest while you wait for your food. Good luck not filling up on that before you get your food. The salsa and queso are both so good! I love their chili con carne. It's got deep flavors, hints of cinnamon and a great mouth feel. The steak was super flavorful and juicy. It can stand on its own. Affordable dinner, left full and would return again, now that we have some expectations settled. read more

This place sucks. $100 for 5 people to eat and nobody finished their food. or margs. if i could leave negative stars i would. i dont even think my chickens would eat this shit. sorry.... not sorry. read more

With all the options of places to eat and the cost for a family to di e out, Jalapeños always brings a smile to my face. The food is always good and comes out pretty quick considering how busy this place gets. Sometimes service is slow but the staff really bust their asses to get everyone taken care of. If you're looking for a cozy place with good food and great margaritas , Jalapeños is the place for you. read more

Great local family friendly spot. Went with my wife and baby. My chimmi was great and my wife enjoyed her enchiladas. The queso is great too! Great food and great service! read more

Food is bland tex mex not much flavor. The queso is watered down . People not friendly . Ordered a taco dinner and about a third of it was filled . Really expensive taco dinner to have them bring out your tacos not even half full . They could have added cheap lettuce and I would have noticed . I Mentioned it to the waitress and she said that's how they make them and she could do nothing about it . I didn't complain further but will never go back . Not very well managed to allow a customer to leave o and never return over something like this . Before this I Would go a couple of times a month because I thought it was the only place in town . But since they served me near empty tacos and wouldn't fix the problem I have discovered two other places in town that are much better . read more

First time for us. Pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed everything: staff, food and value. This will be a "Go To" for us from now on.

We eat here regularly. The food is consistently good. Austin is the best server! Try the Chipotle Chicken or the Monterey if you need suggestions! read more

The lady at the entrance counter does not do her job well, she had me waiting outside for 50 minutes, until I went to ask what was happening, why aren't they serving us? I'm definitely not going back. She had me on a waitlist and served people who got there after me in that instant who didnt have reservations. read more

We ate here the night of our wedding, perfect portion sizes, great prices, and super yummy! The historic farmersville is so quaint, we definitely recommend this one!! read more

Jalapenos - Historic downtow Farmersville - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

Went for lunch today and saw a sign that said now hiring servers. I was prepared to be patient since I already knew they we're probably short staffed. When I walked in 3 employees were right up front 2 mopping and one vacuuming. I asked do I sit anywhere they said yes. I sat and waited and waited and waited. All 3 continued to mop/vacuum. No one ever said hi or welcome. Never got a menu, never was spoken to again and I waited 10 min. Y'all need more than a server. You need leadership and management. read more

Nothing to recommend about Jalapeños. Service, food and ambience are all poor. There is absolutely nothing they do well. Only positive is it's close. read more

This place is very affordable great food. I really like this friendly service good atmosphere

Good service, reasonable prices, local , great hours, free refills on drinks- excellent chips and salsa

The Green Burrito. It's very tasty. It's hands down the best thing on the menu, I think. Add a big, top shelf margarita and enjoy the ride.

I went today to have lunch with my husband. Waiter seemed like he didn't want to be there. Also I ordered the seven seas, the sour cream sauce was bad. Not just bad in taste I mean bad as in expired. It smelled so bad I spit out my first bite and just ate my rice. I mean we only went to eat because we barely missed Over Yonder. I remember now why we don't go there. Sorry but never again. I did mention the expired sauce after paying didn't want anyone thinking I wanted a free meal. Please don't waste your money and time just my opinion. read more

Good food and friendly service. I meet friends there every weekend. Small casual dining experience with authentic cuisine. Reasonable prices. read more

Sometimes great other times so so. Margaritas always good. They have Modela Negra, which is always good

I usually go to the one in McKinney but I had a Dr. Apt, in town so we went to have lunch before. I was taken back when the waiter whined about us sharing a meal the last time we were there. There were 4 of us ,we each ordered a meal and a drink but he severed the people that came in after we did and when he finally brought us our lunch he never came back to the table. I got up to to refill our tea. Big no no. He was grumpy and sullen. I will try somewhere else next time. read more

Service was very prompt. Food was excellent. We had guacamole , tortilla soup and the chimichangas. Will definitely go back! Even the iced tea was good :) read more

Service was bad, stood at the door waiting to be seated while everyone else sat down. You think they would stop and say sit yourself, nope. Food came out a little at a time. Took 22 minutes just for someone to ask what we needed to drink. I always thought stop town restaurants would be good, not this one read more

This place was really good, my girl friend and I shared a dish that was so delicious.

truly not sure how this restaurant receives more than one star. it's very dirty inside with greasy tables, stained carpets and a thick coating of dust on the walls and decor that sits above the booths. the one and only time we went, we were seated where we could see the staff area where drinks are filled. how very insightful that was! the bucket that is used to scoop ice out of the big ice machine, into the small ice cooler was placed on the floor and then used to scoop out ice. meaning, the dirt and grime on the bucket from the FLOOR was TOUCHING the ice they put in your drink. the food was not fresh at all, wasn't even hot all the way through. disgusting. should be shut down by the health department. read more

Jalapenos - the white bucket on the floor is the bucket they use to scoop out ice from the ice maker, into the ice cooler to fill your drinks - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

My favorite place to eat. Food is affordable and very tasty. Its a great place for friends to meet and eat. It has a pleasant atmosphere. The margaritas are to die for. The owner goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcomed. I highly recommend this place. read more

We were able to check out this cozy little place Friday evening, and all in all, had a good experience. Service was prompt, chips and salsa and caso hit the table w/i minutes. Lots to chose from and the prices were reasonable, even good, considering how good it was. The only negative, would be the margarita. I had a "large" rocks and salt, and it lived up to the large....but light on the tequila it seemed, so a second large was ordered, and still......they still tasted great, just no kick, which was ok until I noticed they were 11.99 or something close to that, each! 24 dollars for 2 drinks, and I'm not even getting the point.....that was the only negative. Either drop the price on those or make them worth it....great dinner orherwise! We'll be back, just sticking with beer maybe! read more

My wife and I went here tonight (Friday night) during their busiest hours. Nonetheless, all of the staff had smiles for us and we had a minimal wait. The waitress (Cassie) was prompt and attentive. The food was good, and Cassie made us not care that the restaurant was sooo busy. She was great. This is probably the best place to eat in Farmersville. read more

Jalapenos - Part of my meal (low light, no flash) - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

This was our first time visiting and it was ok. They give you free queso with your chips which is a plus, but it was bland. Definitely had to mix with some salsa to give it flavor. I ordered the chicken fajita quesadilla...to me, "fajita" means there are veggies in it. No veggies, just chicken and cheese. My quesadilla is on the menu with one scoop of guacamole and one scoop of sour cream. I asked to take off the sour cream and double the guacamole, but they are stingy and I wasn't allowed to do that. Which I guess is ok because the small scoop of guacamole I was given was brown on top I might give them another try because I work close by, but I wasn't impressed. read more

We are frequent diners at the McKinney location, but since we were in Farmersville, we decided to eat there since we thought it was the same. While the salsa and cheese dips were really good, the rest of the food was bland, mediocre, and far from the taste quality their McKinney location is at. We were disappointed, but now know. read more

Seems to be going down hill. They still have the best Mexican food in Farmersville. The service is not what it used to be. The beer menu is not good. Dos Equis on draft , Bud Lite, and Coors Lite. No Tecate. No Heinekens. The table service is slow. Took about 15 minutes to get waited on 7-24-2018 at noon. Place was only 1/4 full. Just no hustle. A group at another table was just leaving when we entered. 6 or 7 empty bottles and and 6 settings of dirty dishes. It was still that way when we left at 1:00 and hour later. They don't bus the tables. You don't turn dirty tables! The food came within 10 minutes of the order. It tasted good and there was plenty of it. Had to chase down the waiter to get my ticket. Not a bad experience, but definitely not great. Next time we want Mexican we will drive about the same distance to Maria's in Melissa, TX. They hustle to turn tables. No dirty dishes. They have Tecate and Heineken. Jalapinos is no longer on my A list. read more

The food was really good, I little in the hot side but we liked it. Good size portions and great prices. Small hole in the wall but service was good which was surprising! Will come back when in the mood for Mexican food. read more

Jalapeños has become our Mexican food fix....chips are great and I really like the rice and beans. We enjoy it a little more each time we go. read more

Great service and the margaritas are the best. The food is very good and they serve cheese queso with the hot sauce. I had not run into anyone doing that in a while and it was a nice touch. My only little disappointment was the tortilla wish they would make their own because the ones we had seemed like packaged ones. After having homemade ones the packaged ones just don't make the grade. Everything else was top rated and I will return here.Happy hour starts at 4 pm and goes till close for half price margaritas. read more

We had lunch here October 6th. We paid for our meal which was 25.73. The cashier did not return our card. When I realized this the next morning I checked my account and an additional amount of 22.18 had been charged there. I will of course dispute it. Please be careful using cards here. Also service was very slow all around. read more

Hi. I just started using yelp. I have reviewed another establishment in farmersville as my first review. I wish yall had bbq on your menu. As for what's on your menu. My family and I were extremely pleased. Keep it up. We will be back for sure. read more

Such small hidden location. Never heard until my friend introduced me here today. I ordered the chicken fajita enchilada plate with frozen strawberry margarita and my friend ordered the mexi enchiladas I believe with fajita meat sprinkled on top. The chicken was cut thick pieces so I could not finish my plate but was very tasty! And My friend had given me a bite of his and it was delicious too!! The waiter was a young hispanic had glasses, he was very sweet, kind, and very attentive. Will definitely enjoy going back I enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

Before and after pictures of my meal. It was delicious. Not the most outstanding Mexican food I've had, but still very good. Would I visit this place again? Yes. read more
