And reasonable prices plus very generous portions. I had the Southwestern quesadilla and probably the best I've ever eaten. My wife loved her small nacho plate but so much food she had to have a "to go box".

We ate here for lunch on Monday, January 14. We had just rolled into town and wanted something local. We weren't disappointed. We both had the Mexican cheeseburger. Unbelievable! It is a cheeseburger on a Tortilla with refried beans. Also came with homemade French fries. To die for!

Amazing experience. We ended at this place on a Sunday evening in Alpine, not many choice, most of the restaurants are closed, the opened one are packed then no chance without reservation unless we want to line for ever.Los Jalapenos, along the railroad, was opened with just little patrons.Happy to find a place to eat we did not wonder why this miracle was almost empty.We entered, nobody to welcome or seat you, as we were puzzling then a lady told us to seat anywhere and that' it. We waited and waited and ... nothing happened until new customers came in and were told on the spot they could not be serve because of no food let. Then we started wondering what was going on and asked a single seated client if it was good.At his answer ; he had been sitting there for one hour and a half and the g=food was even not good, as we do not feel like experiencing like lab rats we just took off.Almost half an hour in this place without being taken care by the staff. Weird place, who can go there?

Virtually across the street from the Hampton Inn. Building seemed a little run down and could use some fresh paint however, all the servers were pleasant and efficient. Everyone helping each other, nice to see! They only serve beer as an alcoholic choice, not a big deal for my husband and myself. Complimentary chips and salsa with refills. Salsa had a nice kick to it. We both ordered the chicken fajita burrito that came with a small side of chopped lettuce, green pepper, tomato with a light vinaigrette. The burrito was filled with grilled chopped chicken (nicely seasoned), lightly sautéed onions and green peppers. A nice sized burrito, we were both happily satisfied with the meal. Very reasonable prices too.
