| - This weekend I rekindled a dying romance between me and El Jalapeno. I went here with a girlfriend for dinner on Friday night and was reminded of how much I enjoy it. We split a pitcher of the margaritas (Don't judge.) and they really have outstanding margaritas-the perfect blend of boozy, tasty and the right amount of sweet. The service was great, we sat there for a long time and chatted, and the server kept coming by and refilling our margarita glasses for us. This was greatly appreciated, as I have little confidence that I could master the spoon/ice pouring technique with the panache he was able to use. Now to the food: it really is solidly good Mexican food. I've been here a number of times, and almost always tend towards the fajitas-that was what I went with this time. The portions are gigantic, and the food was brought out really hot and fresh. I also remember the time I got a burrito from here and it came out and was nearly the size of my arm. And also the time my dining companion pronounced "queso" like "kway-so" and the server just smiled and nodded without even the slightest tinge of judgment (which is more than I could say for myself.) Suffice it to say, I've never had a bad experience here. It is a little dark-probably wasn't the best choice for the bright and sunny day we went. The parking can also be a little tight. But overall, I'd highly recommend. Good food, good booze, good staff. What more could a girl (or boy, or androgynous being) want?
