Jalapeños Cantina of Macon — Restaurant in Macon

My husband and I decided to have a date night at here and sat at the bar. The restaurant didn’t have a wait and although there were a several other tables it wasn’t “busy”. We were greeted by staff and given our drinks promptly. While looking over the menu I witnessed there different dinners come up to the bar asking about where the food was and how much longer it would take for their dinner to come out. After ordering our appetizer and then main meals we waited and waited. Everything seemed to be so chaotic with the staff and service. After about an hour the guy sitting next to us received our appetizer and graciously slid it over to us. The sliced fried jalapeño’s left much to be desired, wasn’t sure how such a small portion could take an hour to cook. Then we began the waiting process of our main meals. In total we sat for literally 2 hours and never received our dinners. When we told the server we would like to pay for the appetizer and my husband’s drink he stated he would try to just get our dinner boxed up for us. After checking with the kitchen, he came back and just removed the dinner charges because the food was still nowhere near ready. I have never experienced such a thing before. Most of the people that were there still didn’t have food either. I think the automatic 16% gratuity covers the fact that they don’t...

This may be my new watch the game spot. A nice drink and plenty of BiG screens for viewing the game on Saturdays. There is plenty of space for dining and mingling. You can enjoy it here with family, a date or alone. The bar is expansive with a complete offering of taps and top shelf liquor. They offer a complete drink menu. So, plz ask for it to help with your selection. My lady and I love the various choices offered for hot off the grill items. On this day I ordered The SUPER CHALUPA. I'm not sure if my spelling or theirs is correct. What I am sure of is that it was fully loaded and packed with flavor. On a tortilla shell was a bed of rice instead of beans. Ground beef, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and tomatoes. In search of my hot and spicy taste. I added jalapenos and 2 cups of their specialty hot sauce. Boi was I on fire and loving it. 2 Budweisers helped Kool me off inside. My FUTURE ordered the steak fajita. In her words;"This is far better than Mar*'s"! Yes, even the salsa was a step above the rest. Everything is better here than there. They offer outside dining. Enjoy a day in the sun. Last but not lenot; The bathrooms. Clean and very...

Coming from Oklahoma, finding Mexican food that suits me has proven difficult. Today, Jalapeños Cantina changed that. This was easily the best Mexican I've experienced in the South East. The Enchilada Verdes had exactly the right kick. No notes. The Tamale, ditto. The house margarita, was also right on target. My only notes would be on two items I have yet to see in this part of the country. The first would be offering the house cheese dip as a table dressing alongside an array of vegetables and tortillas. The second is a "dirty" glass of Mexican beer. The glass is frozen and dipped into a slush of lime. The beer is the poured as usual, with the accompanying slice of lime. It's all in the presentation. That said, I can’t recommend Jalapeños Cantina of Macon any more strongly. Spit out whatever you're eating now, and come get...
