They used to have awesome prices (2016) now they are pretty overpriced. $20 chicken quesadilla, $20 for margarita… free chips ?

$3minimum for parking in a small city like Bellingham is outrageous. It's not the restaurant's fault but definitely part of the experience.The restaurant is in a very crowded "trendy" /bleh area but is pretty nice inside with a decent atmosphere.After being seated, were given a very long time to look at our menus. The serving staff DISAPPREARED. It was so long that we were joking with the people at the table next to us that if they finished and left nobody would ever know.Bellingham has ALOT of Mexican restaurants so to stand out you need to have good food at a reasonable price to even keep the doors open. Jalapeño's is MASSIVELY overpriced. Before writing this I took a look at the menu they have online and it is WRONG. It must be an old version they depend on you to look at because most people won't walk out of a place if it's expensive because, well, they are already there. Everything on the new menu is at least $2 more AND if you want any other protein besides beans or ground beef you will be paying $2 to $4 PER ITEM! So if you have a 2 taco combo plate that's $17 and you want shredded beef you are looking at a $23. Shrimp would be $25. Finally, at the very bottom of the menu in tiny writing is the "3% KITCHEN CHARGE on all dine in, carryout, or catering". So....on everything. That's 3% because they have a kitchen, where they make food, because they are a restaurant.15 minutes after we sat down we still had not seen any wait staff so we left. I may be wrong and the food is so outstanding that's its worth a long wait but I will never know because I don't like being lied to about the price. I assume that the wait staff from yesterday did not even realize we were there and gone but for all I know they may be after me for 3%, per person, booth rental for the 15 minutes we were there and ignored.

Used to love going here for the cheaper food and good atmosphere. Prices have gotten high like most things but the service is spotty with some waiters/waitresses. Happy hour menu is a joke now so we won't be going back until that gets better again.
