Service was great as well as the food. Would go again for dinner. The owner is nice and helpful

Disappointed with the cold food we were served after waiting over an hour from the time we sat down, for simple dishes that lacked flavor of Tex Mex. First and last time coming here. read more

We absolutely love JLP. The food is great, we love the fish tacos, shredded chicken chimichangas, the el pastor, and the queso Blanco! Don't leave off the great margaritas! All brought to you by the most friendly staff and owners. read more

Queso blanco is legit. Get you a couple of the Arturo margaritas and you're good to go.

Arrived at restaurant at 7pm took down number for a table and after 42 minutes of waiting, they tell us that they can't serve us because they close at 8pm. Horrible customer service. read more

Went after lunch and the staff were friendly. They had social distancing at tables but waiter, and hostess didn't wear masks but the chips server did. Weirded me out and made sure that I wasn't facing server although he didn't get in my bubble. The wife's skinny margarita was excellent. My tacos al carbon was average. The meat needed more seasoning. The serving size was good and the beans/ rice were good. Needs some work for $11.99. More like a $8.99 meal. Place is a hole in the wall and I know margins are small on Mex food but the interior needs help. I don't think I'll be back. There are other alternatives in Midlo. However, it was recommended by a friend. read more

The food here is fantastic and the service is equally as great! The salsa always has great flavor, and the white queso is phenomenal! My go to plate is the sour cream chicken enchilada plate. The other great part is that everything is fairly priced! It's a regular spot for me now. read more

This place use to be great but the owner lady is very rude I had a issue with one of her servers who ended up quitting after this incident and her response was some people like her some people don't. This was after screwing my order up for weeks, as we were regulars to this restaurant. I have not been back since seeing the lack of empathy by a owner. If you don't care about a customer you don't care about your business. read more

Awesome place.. the bean dip is soooo good. I could eat that just as a meal. One of the only places around here where you can get white queso read more

Quest Blanco is to DIE for!! Salsa is wonderful and the black bean dip is a nice touch. All margaritas are delish!! Best kept secret in Midlo!!!!! read more

We were in town for a cheer competition and wanted to support a small business. Very happy we did. Hayden was our waiter and boy did he do just that! White queso was on point, we ordered a second round also ordered the reg queso, but the white is a definite must. Also started off with the locos jalapeños that were also equally delicious with its sauce! We all tried something different. I had the cheese enchiladas with fajita meat with the tomatillo on the side. Highly recommend, I loved being able to eat the meat separate too. We had street tacos one of every kind on the menu and the brisket quesadillas. Hot sauce is a main feature when we try out any new spot, we took some home it was that delicious. Ordered dessert and the choc pie was oh so good, wanted to take the whole one home. Needless to say this place did not disappoint, so sad we don't live close because this would be a weekly visit! Reviews were all over the place but, glad we went. At least try it once is all I can say. Going home fat and happy! read more

Maddie at the front desk was amazing! She made sure our party of 6 was sat as fast as possible. She even helped the bus boy get our upcoming table cleaned. She worked hard and fast, which is exactly what you need in a restaurant. Great job!!!! Food is always good here but great service is more important! read more

Service is horrible. Glasses were empty most of the meal. Ran out of salsa. Asked for more chips and the waiter told us no we had enough. Used to be a gem in Midlo. No more. Suggest going elsewhere. read more

Big disappointment as hopes were high. When we got there the hostess asked how many in the party and the. Took us to be seated. A waitress in the area started yelling at us that we shouldn't sit there it was for someone else. Seriously, yelling! The hostess was super embarrassed but nice and apologized. When we finally got seated...guess who was out me waitress. Yep, Miss Bossy Pants who yells loudly. We ordered drinks- the margaritas were nasty by the way. The hostess came by to check on us and we asked for recommendations which she provided. We ordered a bit later...slow service and not too busy in the restaurant at the time. Our order came out with several mistakes. Took forever to get the right food. It just wasn't that good. The white queso was good but we ran out of chips and by the time we got more the queso was cold. Not at all impressed with this place. Won't be going again or recommending to others. read more

Home town Mexican for dinner tonight. First time here. Decor is just a bit below average. Not ugly but just not decorated. Clean though. Service was consistent and very friendly. Probably the biggest plus here is the service. We both got the Build your own. I had a beef enchilada and tamale. My wife had two beef enchiladas. I was impressed that grease wasn't floating around my plate when I was served. Beans and rice were average. Plates were full plastic tan colored. At best a 3 star. read more

Jalapenos Lemon Pepper - Tex-Mex Near Me - Midlothian, Texas

See all

Best fish tacos around!! We have been doing take out but prior to COVID we ate in once a week. Staff is friendly and efficient. No complaints here! See you next week!! read more

Food is great! The supreme queso blanco is amazing!! Atmosphere is great. Great outdoor patio area for time with friends or family !

This restaurant has really gone down. When I first started going, the food was so delicious and fresh! However, multiple times I've gone in and our service was not good! One time our order was mixed up when getting take out. Another time when dining in..8they lost our order in the kitchen! How can that happen? The last time I was there I took my daughter and her family. They got the shrimp street tacos. It was a corn tortilla with 5 shrimp. That's it. The sides were a tiny amount of cilantro and chopped onion. And it was cold. They were so disappointed and I was embarrassed because I had bragged so highly about the food! read more

$82 for cold, tasteless, chewy fajitas. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Staff is friendly!

Food is great. Service is great. They REALLY need to do something about the flies on the patio!!! Absolutely awful and unappetizing !!!!

Solid food, prices, service, and atmosphere. I was recommended to come here and zero regrets.

I really like this place. The service is always excellent. I order the build your own plate and get the spinach mushroom enchiladas and special order them with no dairy and substitute the spicy green sauce for the sauce that usually comes with them and they get my order right every time. I'm really impressed. I'm so used to restaurant staff getting really confused when I start throwing off menu variations at them, but not here. My husband also special orders tacos with fajita vegetables, no dairy and again they have never messed up our orders. Also the black bean dip that comes complementary with the chips is a nice change from the usual selection of salsas and the guacamole is very good too. read more

This is my second review. However, it should be my 8th,because I keep going back to eat here EVERY chance that I get. The service is on the margin...I mean, they dont WOW you with service, but you can get what you need if you ask. The FOOD is very good though. They serve you black beans with the salsa and you can get as much as you like. The beans are always hot and delicious. The food has never been bad. We have taken several different ppl to eat there, and they have all agreed!! read more

I definitely would not recommend this place at all. Horrible customer service from the moment we sat down. Our hopes were high due to such a wonderful experience yesterday at a restaurant owned by the same people that own this one. I tried to be patient due to amount of people present in the restaurant and also a family emergency experienced by my server. Our food eventually came out, at this point nearly an hour after we had arrived, and we asked for a item that was missing and the server snapped and told us in a horrible tone that we had to wait a minute. The server was very rude and disrespectful to the point I returned my order and left. Horrible experience. I'll never return here. And it makes me not want to return to the other restaurant where there was a better experience. I didn't expect disrespect was a part of the culture for this restaurant but evidently it is. Very disappointing. read more

Stopped by for lunch today, for the first time. Service was good, and our food was good. Prices for lunch were excellent. Will definitely be back for dinner. read more

Hands down the best we we have had in awhile! We were very skeptical due to the reviews, however, our server Michael was amazing! And all the staff that came by and cleaned our table and checked on through out the entire dinner. The Steak ala Mexicana is delicious! My husband ate his dinner and half of mine. I would not recommend the standard queso, not a fan. We will try the queso blanco next time! read more

Hot chips to start, which I like. Salsa was decent, queso was bland. Meal was plenty of food and good value for the price. The tamale was excellent, beef enchiladas were decent, a little to heavy on the onions for my likings. Great service by the young waitress. Food was three stars but the service gets it to a four. read more

The staff is ALWAYS super friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the food isn't too bad. They never have the pie I want when I go, but the other pies weren't too bad. read more

After living in the area for over two years and driving by little place we finally tried it wanting something new and were very impressed! The staff is amazing! Every member of the waitstaff and hostess staff while walking by your table look to see if you need anything and ask when they do notice. NOT JUST YOUR SERVER! Super attentive. Then the food, the food was awesome. My wife got the fish which was cooked perfectly and I got the cheese enchiladas topped with beef fajita and queso blanco! The queso blanco dip with beef, guacamole and sour cream was great. With the chips they bring you a black bean dip and the house salsa which had amazing flavor. Definitely will be going here more often! read more

This is a wonderful spot for lunch and dinner. You will not find better chicken tortilla soup anywhere. Chips, salsa and bean dip are on your table upon arrival. The prices are very reasonable and the service is fast. The owners are huge supporters of Midlothian Independent Schools. Definitely check them out. read more

Sadly this place has gone downhill fast. It has experienced a change in ownership which may be the problem. The food presentation is terrible, the meat being used is of such poor quality and the service is nothing to brag about. Have gone here since the first week they opened (some years back) but will not be going again. read more

Really like the green chicken enchiladas. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. My toddler loves the bean dip they give you before your meal. read more

Came here for basketball tournament in Duncanville. Came in with 12. Had great, fast service. Food was fantastic. No complaints from anyone in the group. Great local restaurant in Midlothian. Would easily come here again. read more

OK went there for the first time and was not impressed at all. The place is very small and crowded. I don't understand what the draw is except maybe cheap gross food. To be fair the wife and I both ordered Mexican food which was due to a coupon we had. It was about as bland as it could be and not very good at all. I noticed most everyone else were eating sandwiches and burgers etc so maybe that's a better bet but really this is just cheap gross greasy diner food. If your down with that then have at it! read more

This is another one of Midlothian's best kept secrets! Definitely don't judge the place from the way it looks in passing because the food is delish! We go for lunch every now and then and it's always a good experience! The tamales are a good choice, the enchiladas, and the quesadilla are, too. The complementary chips, salsa, and bean dip are a nice touch! Definitely try this place out! read more

This place was really good. They bring you a black bean dip with your chips and salsa before the meal and it was great. I've also tried the tortilla soup and it was really good. The only draw back is that it's SUPER small. You better get to this place early if you want a seat and if not, be prepared to go somewhere else because there is no "waiting seating". The food was great though!!! read more

I had high hopes for this little local place. But the night I went was less than impressive. There was a large group who was extremely loud and a screaming kid running around not being controlled. As for the food, the chips were stale, but the quesadilla was good. read more

Jalapeño Lemon Pepper is a pretty typical small town Mexican restaurant. The food is pretty good, the prices are pretty good and the service is pretty good. I really like their chips, salsa and free black bean dip. They also have the best deal in town for dinner when their special is the fajita plate for $7.99 (I like the beef more than the chicken). read more

This restaurant is in a new location around the corner from the old one. We come here frequently and the food is good every single time. The staff is friendly and very professional. Delicious chips and salsa and the daily specials are always yummy!! My favorite place in Midlothian. read more

First time here. Greeted and sat right away by a friendly server. It happened to be happy hour! If you enjoy a spicy margarita that is ACTUALLY spicy- order it from here! Solid food, prices, service, and atmosphere. I was recommended to come here and zero regrets. I plan on making it part of my regular rotation, if for the spicy marg alone:) read more
