My husband and I really love this place. I absolutely LOVE their guacamole and queso. I'd go just for that. We always try to get something new when we go and so far my favorite has been a steak taco. Any of the burritos are great too. Their rice is delicious and I love their little corn nugget things. Kinda obsessed actually. Their tortillas are pretty good and I have no complaints about salsa. We've been several times and I've only had 1 bad meal. We usually get good service but once we had a very distracted server. Overall, I wouldn't complain and I don't think anyone in my family would either. Anytime my nephew (3 yrs old) visits he wants to eat at "hot pepper", so I think he would give it 5 stars too! read more

Great service and good food, wasn't too crowded either. I thought it was gonna be bad because of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised.

Do not get take out from here, my chimicanga was soggy and cold plus the chips were stable.

First off, Will the manager on duty today was awesome, friendly, helpful and a pleasure to talk with and I couldn't have asked for anything more. We came in late this afternoon to a partially busy restaurant and was seated quickly. Are waitress came to are table and told use about the special and the 25th anniversary margarita. I ordered the pollo magnifico and the margarita. The margarita was delicious and I have never had a bad pollo magnifico. I have been coming here for year's prior to my yelping career and have had many dishes that I would have again but so far my favorite is the pollo magnifico and the fried stuffed jalapeños appetizer. I say come here and enjoy the food and drinks. read more

Jose Pepper's is a great restaurant if you like Mexican food. I had dinner and ordered the Shrimp Fajitas. The shrimp was plumpy and the vegetables that comes with it was very tasty. I love their chips...not salty, but thin and crispy. The waitress, Tiffany, kept coming back to check on me (eating solo), even though she had a large party right next to me. Oh, if you like Margarita's, I read on the menu (and heard others around me order them) for 2 for $7. The service is quick and the staff is remarkable. They all seemed to work together as a team. I would recommend Jose Pepper's to anyone! read more

I'm stuffed! Stopped in for dinner after an afternoon movie. We arrived just before 5 and were seated right away. We started with the Espinaca and 25th Anniversary Margaritas, which were great. For an entree I went with the special of the day which was the Jalapeno Chimichanga. It was a lightly fried flour tortilla filled with grilled chicken, bacon, onion, tomatoes, and cheese then covered in a creamy jalapeno sauce. Our waitress was great, very pleasant and attentive to our needs we were never out of water or anything else for that matter. We will definitely be returning. read more

We were waited on by a very sweet young lady named Katie. For the queso I would pay lots of pesos. The cilantro filled salsa had me calling my mama. Katie was amazing she didn't keep us waiting. Definitely coming back so I'm gonna say goodbye to my six pack. read more

I moved here to Missouri from Louisville, KY. A HUGE foodie city and so when moving to Raymore I just had to check out the Restaurant scene here...well, I have discovered THIS gem: Jose Peppers!! From the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smile, as I was served and attended to with a great sense of humor and attentiveness, to my meal: I had the Baja Burrito...and may I suggest...the ESPINACA CON QUESO!! Boom...an explosion of great cheesy taste with a dash of Caliente!! Great food, great service, and GM Will has a staff doing right! Thanks!! -Manny read more

Jose Peppers - Mexican Near Me - Belton, Missouri

My wife and I have a Chicken Tortilla salad it not good at all Chicken was cold and the mixture of items on just didn't go good together. We wanted to try something different but we'll stick to the burrito, taco and chip we usually have they are great. read more

I would give zero stars if it was an option. My party and I had Jamie as a server and she never checked in on us. She never got us refills when needed, she never brought us chips when it was needed. It took an hour to get our meals. It was cold and terrible and I will not be back. read more

This is the slowest Jose peppers we've ever been to. Its memorial day weekend And they seem to be severely understaffed. We didn't get chips and salsa even until 10 minutes after ordering food. Seems like the kitchen is backed up as I'm currently still waiting on our food and looking around and no one has their food. And neither do we. :( read more

I was there yesterday afternoon and the place really needs a good cleaning both inside and outside. The food was good but I don't think I will be back until management takes more interest in keeping the restaurant clean. read more

My family and I came for dinner. We were sat in Jamie's section. All was good until the food came. Then every minute and a half Jamie was coming by to ask how everything was. After the thousandth time, I told her everything was fine, please just let us eat. Well we became invisible after that. Our drinks sat empty for the last 30 minutes of our visit. She just walked by like we weren't there. I finally asked for a manager, who was another server by the way. She made every excuse possible for the bad service, then followed it up with "You made her cry, so she felt unwelcome at your table." So apparently you're not allowed to have a conversation with your family while enjoying your meal. Instead you're to strategically eat your food so you can answer your waitress every minute and a half. This visit has totally turned me off to Jose Peppers. read more

Jose Peppers is consistently delicious. I have never had a problem and I have been here a countless number of times. Austin, in my opinion is the best server in the world. He is always so on top of things - even when every seat in his section is full. We are never without chips, salsa or drinks - even for one minute-when we sit in his section. Austin is also super friendly and incredibly fast, I feel like he is always 5 steps ahead. Way to go Austin, you really deserve a raise. read more

4 Star Mexican food in Belton? Absolutely! If you want consistency, if you want to order food and not have it screwed up, and you want service with a smile, and you're in Belton Jose Peppers will give you what you want. This is where my family ends up anymore if they don't want to drive downtown and they're craving Mexican food. We've been fans since they were located in Raymore in a little hole in the wall place, and we still support them now in the nicer location along Hwy 58. Good Mexican food that almost always guarantees a good lunch or dinner. What more can you ask for? read more

I just moved here my first Mexican restaurant here. Has to be the most bland white bread Mexican food I have had. Taco had zero flavor and the salsa was watery and I think the added way to much cilantro just so it had flavor. Stick to authentic Mexican food. I would say it's the McDonald's of the Mexican restaurants. read more

We showed up to Jose Pepper's late in the evening. We were coming from the Chiefs pre-season game and many restaurants that we passed seemed to be closed already, which was surprising since it was a Friday night. I don't like showing up to a restaurant 30 minutes before closing time, but the staff stopped working on their closing duties to take care of us. We had never been to Jose Pepper's before, so we were not really familiar with the menu. Our waiter brought us a free queso dip since it was our first time at the restaurant. It was very good. He let us know that next time we come in we can order it and it is only $1.99 with the purchase of an entrée. Good to know for future reference. The salsa and queso were delicious. The chips are great--very thin and crispy, just the way we like them. Our food seemed to take a little while to come out. I kind of expected the staff to be in a hurry to just throw something together and get it out so they could get out of there. I remember how it was working on a weekend night--there are plenty of other things to do besides serve this late-coming customer. But they took the time and did everything right. The food was very hot when it arrived at our table. This was not the greatest Mexican food that I have ever had, but I didn't have any complaints about it. It was good, but not great. The service was great, the place was very clean, and it was just a short drive from I-49. We will stop here again! read more

I am not the biggest fan of Mexican food but my wife loves it. So the first and so far only time I went to Jose Pepper's was pretty decent. The food was hot coming out and had a lot of flavor. The plate was full and good for the price. The inside of Jose Pepper's had a lot of seating and wasn't too crowded. I only have one complaint and that was the service. The day that we went it was pretty busy. It took our waitress a while for refills and what not. Jose Pepper's was good enough that I'll be back. That's good considering that I'm very pick about Mexican food. read more

Awww yeah!! Always good!! Love this place!! Great atmosphere and food!! Very Friendly ..... read more

Already one of my favorites because of the quality of the food. But I want to give a shout out to the manager william. He does such a great job of managing his team and interacting with every customer. He is one of the reasons I love the belton store. Well done sir. read more

This restaurant is terrible I hade to wait over 30 minutes to get a drink and they couldn't get my food correct

After eating their espinaca dip I was hooked. My SO and I have been coming back at least once or twice a week. I get something different each time and have been happy with each thing I got. read more

It's been a bit since I last Yelped mainly because dining options are extremely limited in Northern Cass County and lean more towards those of the fast food variety. The wife and I decided to use one of the many school fund raising cards that we purchased and opted for Jose Peppers in Belton. They were busy but we were lucky and got seated right away. Service was on point, drinks were cheap but dinner was as bland as the Baja Desert. Take your salt and pepper shaker if you're going to this place. read more

This is the second time we have been here. We do not live in the area or we would come more often. The reason we chose this location was due to the GREAT service we received our previous time. This time we ask for a vegan option with our waitress. She was not familiar with all the options so she had the manager come to our table. It ended up being the general manager (Will) . Will was very helpful and accommodating. Will even made a special trip back to give another option. Then we found Will in the kitchen helping out the cooks to get it correct. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment. Food, service & experience was exceptional. read more

The food was delicious but the waitress Tiffany was Amazing! She kept our chips and drinks full...She really made our time there super special...and thanks for the special birthday song. read more

Daughter and son in law took us Saturday evening. It was busy, but we were seated quickly even though there were 6 of us. I took off a star because the floor was slippery. Got the ground beef chimichanga and the green sauce was hot, need to remember to substitute for the next time. Small portion of rice and beans. Overall was pretty tasty and will return and try something different. Another lost star was the constant asking if they could take the plates while we were still eating. I know that keeps people moving, but made me feel rushed. The kids food was good. One got cheese quesadilla and the other chicken with fries that had a random shrimp on the plate. read more

Full disclosure: The Espinaca Con Queso (jalapeno cheese dip) is the food item that always gets me salivating. I can't get enough, and often quip that if they could find a way to get a tube to pour it into my mouth I'd give it a shot. The most fascinating part is that I'm mostly lactose intolerant, but it's worth the pain. In the three years I've been frequenting Jose Pepper's, I've only eaten two different dishes: the beef tacos and the beef enchilada - both so tasty and wonderful that there's no point in veering off. I often hear about people wanting "authentic" mexican food, and if that's your thing, I doubt this is the place for you; however, if extremely tasty "Mexican" food with the typical American touches (cheese, sour cream, seasoned beef, mild salsa) are your Achille's heel like they are mine, the place will become a favorite like it has for me and many others who have reviewed. In the end, the testimony is in the business itself, and this place has expanded into larger locations in this town and consistently has no room for parking at lunch and dinner. That says a lot in itself. read more

This has become a local fave. It's very close to home and the food is delicious. It is a bit noisy, but not unbearably so. It is moderately priced. Make sure to get the Espinaca Con Queso. Very yummy! I am a creature of habit, and typically get a grilled chicken quesadillo (hey, when you know what you like). But the waitress challenged me. She said, "You can get that anywhere... try the Pollo Magnifico." I did, and it was delicious! The place was clean, and the service and food were both very good. read more

Not our first time here and generally pretty good in the past. However most of our party noticed the drop off in food quality. The service was good, but the chips were stale, the soft tortillas were hard and the overall food quality was low. read more

This is my new favorite Mexican food in Belton. The lunch portion chicken and avocado enchilada was very massive and will make two meals. I also had the espinaca con queso and loved it! From the queso and salsa to the entree it was all very good. The place was busy, but the staff was quick and courteous. My drink never got empty! Will be going many more times! read more

I've always loved this restaurant. The sour cream beef enchiladas have always been my favorite. Unfortunately, they took them off the menu for some reason. Recently tried the enchiladas platter. Was disappointed. The Corona shrimp tacos are pretty good. The 3 star rating is due to the removal of the sour cream beef enchiladas from the menu. read more

Ben was our server a couple of times now. He is awesome!! I've been in the buisness for 20 plus yrs. Food was good, but service was better!!

Our waitress was very friendly and refilled our drinks without us even asking. The food was perfect. My husband got the sampler platter that came with 3 different entrees and 2 sides. It was A LOT of food. I got the enchilada and taco lunch meal. We will revisit. read more

If you like mexican food, then you will probably love Jose Pepper's. This location recently (July 2008) Moved into a larger facility and are still always packed. The wait staff is excellent and is always making sure that you are taken care of, and the manager always walks the floor to help. To me thats the best part when the managers do something. The food is amazing. Their Monterey Chicken Burrito is to die for. If you like Queso, you may want to try their espinaca dip. The only down side that I find is they only serve pepsi products, Other wise, I highly recommend Jose Pepper's. read more

First experience at Jose peppers carry out. We wanted to Support our local restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Was told the order would be 15 to 20 minutes it came on time but The server rang up the wrong amount, and instead of going back in and re-ringing the order, she waited on someone who walked up in the parking lot and I waited over 10 minutes for her to re-ring the order while my food sat there and got cold. When she returned and I complained about having cold food she was very snide and snippy and told me she "could get the manager that would be the best she could do for me." she thrust the card holder at me hitting me on the hand as she said this. I left the food with her and was not going to pay $26 for cold food. The whole experience took 35 minutes of sitting in a hot car; I left and made lunch at home. I later called and spoke with the manager, he had me identified the person through the first receipt and he was very gracious I was not expecting anything in return. But I will not be going back to Jose peppers in Belton. I have servers in my family, and this young lady should be happy she has a job. It's hard Times on everyone, but if you're in the service industry you don't smart off to your customers. Belton has other find Mexican restaurants. read more

I've been to this place 3 times total and haven't been let down yet. They have a great happy hour starting at 3pm. The house margaritas are delicious! Service has always been friendly. The atmosphere is great. Always a must go when I'm in Belton, MO. read more

Great staff! The food is good but I often find that the meat is extremely over-salted. This happens most frequently with any kind of steak and usually with the burgers. read more

The atmosphere was severely tex-mex but the food and service was great! (Staff, if you're reading this, please consider changing the music choice. It was terrible! ) The Pollo magnifico did not disappoint, especially with a little guac. My husband loved his chimichanga and the little one enjoyed the mac n cheese with fruit on the side. BY FAR MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE CHILI CON QUESO!! EXCELLENT! I highly recommend it! read more
