"Food was very good, service was average, we waited too long for drinks, and the drinks were weak. We go to Jalapenos every once in a while, and always find the food good, the service average, and the drinks weak. At least they are consistent."

"We've been going to J's Grill for a few years. OMG, something has changed! What used to be a quirky little date-night restaurant that served nicely spiced almost authentic Mex food, now it seems to be more of a kid-friendly tex mex place with really BLAND food. I had the grilled swordfish special with toasted coconut topping. Sounds yummy, right... NOT! It was so overcooked it was leathery. Topping was weird: sweet creamy/cheesy... with soft shredded coconut, like the kind used for baking. No fresh shredded toasted coconut??? My dinner friends had more "traditional" tex mex fare: enchiladas, fajitas, etc. All BLAND, not spicy at all and barely lukewarm. The waiter only served us one drink each, though we all wanted another. Where was he??"

"I set-up reservations through Open Table for 8 of us. When I arrived and told them I had reservations for 8 they looked at me like I had two heads. An hour later I had to chase down a waitress to find what was happening with our table. Bamm! There it is a again the two headed stare. We had to wait another 20 minutes to be seated. By now we were a couple of pitchers of margaritas in (very cool pitchers for the margaritas) too bad they were not very good. I had the fajitas and thought they were good. Everyone else complained about the meal. Mostly, that is was salty. I'd go for a beer and chips but thats it!"
