 | 	- Face it, it's next to impossible to get great mexican/latin american food in this town. Frankly, if I came from a warm climate like that, at the first sign of winter, I'd be bolting for home. Having said that, the people who run Jalapeno are sticking it out, and thank the stars for that! Their portions are generous, their ingredients are fresh, and the service (even though it's a walk up and order kind of place) is top notch. 
If you're wondering where to start, I suggest the tostados, maybe with tinga (marinated/pulled/spicy chicken). If you're really hungry, the burrito is about 2 lbs worth of noms for a reasonable price. 
They have a simple salsa bar, with varying spice levels, and it's lovely to taste decent salsa again. 
I lived a year in southern tx. Spent my time wandering the southern US and northern Mexico. I can't tell you how nice it is to have a place that serves food that reminds me of those times.
