Jalapeños is hands down one of our favorite restaurants! Everything we've tried has been incredible. The crispy wings are perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crunch, and the grilled pork enchiladas are absolutely amazing--packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. If you're getting a margarita, you have to order the half frozen, half on-the-rocks margarita. It's the best of both worlds and so refreshing. And whatever you do, don't skip the queso dip--it's chef's kiss! Honestly, some of the best we've ever had. The food, drinks, and overall experience keep us coming back. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend! read more

Restaurant is just okay, not dirty, definitely older. Dear god, update your restrooms! They're so narrow that it made me claustrophobic Staff was fine, service was super slow to take orders but quick to remove items. I ordered the Muchos Nachos and they were very good, my nephew loved the steak fajitas and my dad said he'd order the beef tacos again. The adults got Margaritas and we all thought they were okay. I doubt I'll ever go back but I know several people who make this one of their go-to for Mexican read more

Jalapeños Mexican restaurant. A southern JoCo institution. Frequent Flyers there are referred to as Peppers. Food is great, beer is cold, salsa is fresh, chips are warm, service is fast and friendly. You get why this place is so popular. I had the chicken burrito this last trip. Excellent. read more

Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant - Jalapeños Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Came here specifically for the "crispy tacos," and our group was very pleased. Chips were great, thin and crispy. Grilled pork also good. Margaritas were tasty and not weak. Place was packed at 5:30 on a Thursday, so they were doing something right. I would classify them much more "Tex-mex" and not classic/traditional Mexican but the family loves the "crispy tacos" so I'm sure we will return. read more

The service was good. The food was not tasty. I ordered flautas. The chicken in the flautas didn't have any taste. The beans and the flautas had no taste. We also ordered the chilies reinó and it was smothered in cheese and beans. The price was very expensive. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon on Mother's day weekend and I really appreciated that they were able to accommodate our party of 8. The staff was super accommodating and helpful. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa and also got the blanco queso....so good. Our table got a pitcher of strawberry margaritas that was consistently put in our glasses by the staff. I try to limit my sugar so I got tequila on the rocks. It was a very nice pour. My husband got the taco salad, he liked it, especially the meat but we are a little bit of snobs because we are from TX and it didn't have rice or beans on it. They gave us some to add. My kid got the fajita nachos but she is simple so she really just wanted the meat, beans, and cheese. The staff was thoughtful and brought me her peppers and onions on the side. They were amazing. I got the chile relleno and they were really good as well and you got 2 so the portion size was nice as well. For Mother's day the staff also treated us to a free dessert. It was so yummy and big but I ate it all. Fried ice cream i. A little sopapilla shell with whip cream and a cherry. My family and I will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

We usually stop in when visiting from Vegas. This was a favorite family Mexican restaurant we have frequented since the early 90s in Stanley. You have to get the white quest as a starter. The kids to this day always want to split fried ice Cream for dessert. Favorite entrees include the Chubby Burrito, Taco Salad and Fajita burrito. On Taco Tuesdays just go ala carte with a couple tacos Lots of the staff have been working here for many years and remember you. This is a place the local read more

So it should be stated that I've been coming to this Jalepenos location since they opened in the 90s and I was just a little kid. That being said, I think for most people this is likely a four star spot, but for me, it tastes like childhood and you just can't give enough stars to emit that in a person. All of that being said, this is the OG Jalepenos location. There is another one in Brookside that I honestly love just as much, but this one is what started it all and for me, it defines tex-mex in KC. The strip mall that it's located in has an old west vibe, and is essentially unchanged since this restaurant opened in the early 90s. The same can be stated for the interior, while it's certainly been kept up, and is pretty clean, it still has a somewhat divey vibe to it, and looks and feels the same to me as it did the first time I walked through the doors.

Been going here for 30 years. Food, service, and drinks are great! Love everything about this place!

This established (since 1991) Mexican restaurant was running like a well-oiled machine during my dine-in lunch visit. It was a team effort. The hostess seated guests, the waiter took orders and served orders, another staff member brought chips & salsa and another staff member refilled salsa and bussed the tables. I did not wait at any point and yet I was not hurried. My complimentary thin & crispy chips with tasty medium salsa arrived just two minutes after I was seated, and the entrée arrived just seven minutes later. The burrito was generously sized and filled with moist, shredded, white chicken and beans. The side of rice was moist and tasty. I noticed three dining areas and a bar with contemporary background music (not too loud) and several TVs. Overall, very nice! read more

I have been here so many time and every time they are consistent with their yummy food and friendly service. It is crowded in the space but that makes it feel more family like. Love it! read more

Food was okay. Portions were less than most Mexican restaurants give and the prices are high for what you receive. Outdated dining area and service was middle of the road. Drink was never empty but overall attitude of staff was a bit immature. Let's talk about the cheese dip. Mediocre dip for $11. ELEVEN DOLLARS for a medium size bowl of Sam's club tasting cheese dip. Would not recommend going here for your Mexican cravings. However...they did give chips and salsa to take home. So that warrants 1 star. read more

Service was great. Before you even get to the table they've got your water, chips, and salsa ready to go. The food was really lackluster and had a slight chemical taste. Too bad, I liked the staff but I won't be going back read more

Jalapenos isn't the greatest Tex-Mex food you'll ever have, but it's consistently quite good. They run a great operation for dine-in and carry-out. It's our go-to local Tex-Mex restaurant for carry-out Their espinaca dip is pricey, but there's no better I've had. I usually get the Jalapeno Dip Burrito. Love the espinaca on top, good seasoned beef, and mix of refried beans. Their chicken enchiladas & tacos are very good. read more

This place has been my FAVE for years. Service is awesome as well is the rooms. Jalapeños food is very flavorful and I love their cheese n onion enchiladas especially. Queso is thee BEST and salsa is up there as well. Be sure to get there before 5:30pm, they get BUSY after that read more

The food is good, not great. Mondays are BOGO tacos. The place has been there for decades...nothing fancy, but they draw a good crowd. Service at the tables is good, but if you sit at the bar, and you're not a regular, you will be ignored and get terrible service. Bobbi has been there for years and still treats people like they are bothering her. I'm not treated as badly by anyone, anywhere. I don't understand how she's still there. I would never tolerate anyone treating customers the way she does. Theres not many seats at the bar, so it's not that busy (ever). The only way to capture more regulars us to give them great service and a reason to come back. It's too bad...I'd go there more if I wasn't always disrespected.Take out is good. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Kansas City tradition, will usually have a wait but it goes by quick. Both queso apps are exactly what you want.

I've heard so many glowing reviews about this place and know a woman that goes on a date every week with her here so of course I've been wanting to try it for over a year. Well. That day came to try it on a Saturday night. They do have tables blocked off so I'd say only half the restaurant is open. We were told it'd be a 20 min wait but I think it turned into about 30. When we arrived at our table - they already had chips salsa and water on the table. Felt kind of rushed in ordering when I told her it was our first time and she kept asking so I said I needed a minute and she finally got the hint. We ordered the wings with ranch and the white queso dip. Both were very good. The queso was a bit spicy but I liked the thickness of it. We split an enchilada combo with ground beef enchiladas and a ground beef taco with rice and Beans. Both of us weren't really impressed with any of it - as the ground beef was so diced it felt out everywhere and was all over the plate, table, and anywhere else other than the enchilada or tacos. Service was great. Place was Clean. read more

It was a nice place wish it had beer food was kick butt try it and let me know what you think

Jalapeños is one of my favorite Mexican places to eat. It's close to home, the service is always outstanding, and the people working there are always very friendly. We like to eat a fairly early dinner, around 4:30, which will beat the crowd at this place. By the time we leave, the place is usually packed! The food is always consistent, which is a good thing these days! My favorite is the Jalapeño burrito with pork and the queso dip on top with rice! I highly recommend this place for great Mexican food, and I love their chips! read more

I've only been here once, and I was quite satisfied with the food. I want to try it again before I make a lengthy review, but I do believe it's worth a try if you love, Mexican food. The atmosphere was pleasant and busy. There are both booths tables and I believe a bar. The service was prompt and efficient. Our server was very pleasant. read more

Considering the red sauce tastes like spagetti sauce, and the enchilada sauce tastes like ragu, it is hard to call this a"Mexican" restaurant. So if you are extremely white, which my S-I-L is, and don't like authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place for you! Fortunately, I feed wildlife so the remaining 90% of my meal will not go to waste. read more

I've been here couple of times and I do not understand the hype this place has. I know a family that religiously goes here every week and they were the ones that had me intrigued about this place. They have many meal choices and I will admit their crispy tacos are some of the best tacos ever. They are fried so they really aren't good unless you eat it at the restaurant. I got them once to-go and they ended up being too soggy to enjoy. I think their other meals like chimichanga, burritos, enchiladas, taco salads are just okay. I wasn't awed by their salsa or their queso. They do give you a lot of salsa and chips to eat while waiting for drinks and food. I would go here though if my friends wanted to go, but there are still many other Mexican restaurants for me to try in Johnson County. So it's up to you if you want to try this place, but I think it is just decent. Fortunately nothing is horrible at this place and every worker is really friendly. read more

Jalapenos is a staple in South OP. Really love the food here, but the service is what makes it. They are really on it with the chips, salsa, water, refills, more drinks, etc. The service is top notch and really puts this place over the top for me. I like getting the jalapeno dip. Rice, meat, and cheese. Pretty simple, but it just goes so well together. They serve it with tortillas and then I scoop it up with chips when I'm out of those. It is usually enough for me to make two meals out of. read more

Which came first? Margarita's in the Northland , or Jalapeno's in Kansas?? I was made very aware of the similarities on my recent visits. As a long time diner at Margarita's( until recently- no longer a fan),I was a little weirded out at first.... I kept double checking our menus. Yep, they said Jalapeno's. I have crossed statelines now... Margarita's who?? The interior is super casual, and seems like the type of place to have regulars. The table numbers for seating are spoken over a loud speaker( bingo anyone?). The tacos? Light and crispy packed with flavorful beef. The salsa is a twin to the aforementioned restaurant's , but the hot salsa is where they differ. The chips and salsa are never allowed to run low, and the wait staff is prompt and super efficient. The long awaited Chicken Verde burrito was all hyped up, once a month special folks, and was pretty good. What is up with the potatoes in it?? Nope. The amount of food you get is well worth the tab. I now crave Jalapeno's and try to go whenever possible. read more

This is a Kansas City staple. American Mexican food at it's best. The cheese dip is the best in town and no one beats their service. Our server had worked there for 31 years and still rocking it like it was the first day! Thanks for all the years Jalps! To many more! read more

Ground beef trashy tacos from 1989 will blow the boots off of any chimichangas in Kansas city. The chips and salsa service is overly fantastic as they constantly fill your bowls will shots of salsa from a gun slinger's perspective. The chips are so paper thin that you can practically see through them. Charity will explain everything on the menu with a smile but she won't divulge the secret michilada recipe. Fideo Fridays are the best soup in town events. Everyone in here is connecting in a real American way, hugging each other and being so kind. I'm the only jerk on my cell phone in here, God bless America and the Jalapeno cheese dip. read more

The wait time is ridiculous but the GB chimichanga I had was much more authentic tasting than most. Ingredients were quality and there was actually flavor inside it. Service was good as well.chips and salsa were very good and kept full while we waited for entrees. One thing I didn't care for was that we were seated at the table to the very right of the host stand and people waiting were literally standing behind leaning on the two chairs we weren't using. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to ruin our meal nor did I think I should have to. I understand the people that did this had ZERO class but an employee should've taken notice and addressed it. read more

Enjoyed my lunch here a few days ago. My wife got the chicken fajita salad and I got the chicken queso salad. Both were good and reasonably priced.
