Good food, which includes standard Americanized Mexican dishes and more authentic opinions for the more adventurous palate. There is lots of good Mexican cuisine in the area, but what keeps us coming back to el Jalapeno is their service. We have met friends there and every time the staff have quickly accommodated our large group, which has included 3-5 young kids. The experience is nothing flashy, but for a good, quick meal it's a fun pick.
