If I could give less than 1 star I would.Was a guest of a dinner party of approx 12 guests w/reservations for an adult’s birthday dinner. Nothing crazy, we wanted margaritas and tacos & our friends like this place because they think it is affordable. I’d say the prices wouldn’t be bad if you got what you paid for and weren’t overcharged by the waiter, who refused to print you a receipt, and when disputed with my bank and the card merchant TWICE this company has refused to cooperate with their - normally simple and brief - investigation into the charges that the waiter erroneously charged. I called and emailed myself prior to disputing officially, and I was met with crickets. I was overcharged $40 based on menu prices and tax. That also means that the tip I left was affected by the increased charges. From speaking with the other folks at our table, I was not the only one overcharged that night just the one with the largest & highest cost order! I won’t recommend any of the Jalopenos locations purely for their lack of management and care for taking care of their customers. We were super polite and easy going about this entire situation and yet that same courtesy could not be extended to us. How disappointing. Reading the other reviews, it appears we are not the onlyones who have been subjected to erroneous charges & refusal to make it right. & that’s just bad business. & I certainly don’t want to know what else could be bad business.

A nice open environment for some of the valley's best Mexican food! Excellent queso sauce and salsa. Excellent service. My favorite chile relleno in Boise.

Some of the best service I've had. We stopped by on tuesday for dinner.Seemed to have an ok amount of staff which can be rare elsewhere. Downfalls for me are portions that are a little small for the price, and the covid plexiglass barriers at every booth look ugly. Chips and salsa were bomb asf. Chicken enchiladas were kinda sus. Will have to try Jalapeños again and experience some of their different items.

I loved this experience. Me and my friend got our food within minutes of ordering. Actually got our food and drinks at the same time which is nice bc you normally get your drinks before you eat at-least 5-10mins depending. Not to mention we are Traveling nurses appreciate the service! Fast and efficient. 5 stars

There are many Mexican restaurants in this area. I have just discovered this one. At first I thought what kind of Mexican restaurant would name themselves jalapeños? Well it turns out they are an authentic family owned establishment. The site on Broadway has an amazing bar. Double tiered. I’ve never seen one of these. Their Chile relleno is outstanding. Happy hour, margaritas and all the standards of course. Check them out, they also have another restaurant on Franklin.

Prices are almost comically steep for what you get ($20+ for an entree with rice and beans) but the food is good - especially when compared to some other Mexican places in the valley. California burrito is the best bang for your buck.

This restaurant relies a little too heavily on the signature white cheese sauce. (Which has gotten thinner and blander over time) and needs to concentrate on the basics of food prep, like draining the meat before making tacos with it, etc. The pricing is a bit steep as well... 2 a la carte tacos for $9, flautas for $19, and a chimichanga for $17 seems like a bit much.

Great staff and food. I had the Carne asada and the steak was great. Serving size was great but I think the pricing was just a tad high. All in all, it was great.

The food was ok, but personally felt like it was overpriced for the amount and quality of the food. Done off the happy hour menu.... Yes, still over priced. The nachos were the most underwhelming part.

Customer service was good, only thing was waiter asked the other people for more options other than chips and salsa. And he was also eavesdropping on other people's table.
