| - When my friend and I got to Jalapeno's, it was dead, probably because it was 11:40am, so we got a table. Lucky for us, as only ten minutes later the place was packed. Jalapeno's is a tiny, very clean and bright place, with some simple Mexican decor. The menu is small, which I also like, since lunch is short, it's nice not to be bogged down with too many options to read over. I ordered the Plato, which means the tortilla, if you choose to have one, is on the side. There are no servers, all the food is splayed out buffet style with a good sized sneeze glass in front of it, Subway style, you are asked to choose your meat and any additions and sauces, on top of your rice, refried beans and salad.
My food was good, but I found the portion size a little small for the $12 I paid, particularly when it came to the meat. The rice was fluffy, the salad and tortilla ( corn or wheat are both options) was fresh and the meat juicy. My only two small complaints were 1. the beans were salty an 2. I wish the people who served us were a little bit friendlier. They weren't rude by any means, but it's nice to have someone crack at least ONE smile when you thank them for your order.
I can't say I would seek jalapeƱos out again seeing as I live down south, but it's definitely a nice option for those who work in the area. I know it does well at lunch rush. We had a group of four eye balling our table as we cleared our plates away. We hasn't even completely left the table before they threw their keys and bags down to snatch up the spot. . .
