We are not from Houston so we were looking for a restaurant that was close to where we were staying. We found El Jalapeno and originally thought they were closed. One of the servers came out to tell us they were open. The food was amazing! The server came to us to make sure we were okay often. Absolutely love this restaurant and will definitely come back.

SO so so good! Very cute and welcoming on the inside. They have it very well decorated and nice music playing. You cannot beat their prices!!! Everyone was so friendly. We went back two days in a row here. It's just right down the road in a great location!! The food was very yummy.

Went to meet my sister and aunt for lunch. I haven't been there since I was a teen. My sister and Aunt both had menudo and I had beef enchiladas. I made the wrong choice! I got some menudo from my sister and honestly, that's the best menudo I've ever had! You can drink the broth alone because it has a delicious flavor. The tripe was very moist and not rubbery like other places as well. That's all I'll be ordering from here on out. Very legit spot.
