Jalapeno's Mexican Grill — Restaurant in McKinney

Absolutely horrible. The salsa was so mild it tasted like there were no jalapeños at all in it. I ordered the all you can eat and started off with a taco and a cheese enchilada, and I specifically said no rice or beans. My taco and enchilada came out on a plate with rice and beans and before he set it down on the table he started blaming the kitchen and said they didn't listen to him. Well, if you see it's wrong, fix it before the guest sees it. Anyway, I said it's fine I'll still eat it. Then I ordered a top shelf margarita rocks with salt shaken with a fresh slice of jalapeño. He brought out a pre-mix margarita with pickled jalapeños on the side in an appetizer plate. So I told him I asked for a slice of fresh jalapeño shaken with my margarita. That pickled jalapeños are made with vinegar and that's nasty. He said they don't do that, which furthers my belief that there were no jalapeños in the salsa. So I refused the margarita and asked for a check. He could tell I wasn't pleased so he started blaming the kitchen again for the rice and beans LOL. He did only charge me a la carte for the taco and enchilada. I have family that swears its the best Mexican food and margaritas, but they're white trash and know no better....

We've only ordered from the lunch menu - which, it is amazing that they have lunch prices on Sundays when we always go - but our experience had alwayd been consistently average. And, I mean that in a good way. Kids menu is $3.50 including Drink - unbelievable! Our meals are usually around $6 including for a really pretty good chile relleno. :-) So, this isn't Uncle Julio's or Pappasito's BUT you're not going to be paying $15 for a plate of enchiladas either (which is ridiculous, BTW) Perfectly serviceable Tex Mex with no frills and great prices. They offer really cheap, from-powder nacho-cheese-type sauce for dipping tortillas in which is great for the kids who can't eat the hottest salsa yet. As long as you know what to expect, you will find this place quaint and very small-town. Don't forget to play the little pinball machine that uses little colored rubber balls while you wait or before you leave... You might lose but you always at least walk away with a little rubber ball which makes my kids very happy. We probably have in the range of about fifty of...

Been driving by this place for years. Finally decided to try it.

The Carne Asada seemed like it was once frozen. Shape is unnatural, square. The biggest red flag was they didn't ask me how I wanted it done(medium, rare, medium rare etc) There's no indication when you cut into it, if it ever was at one point, a slice of meat. Gave off cat food vibes. I bet if I shredded it and placed it next to wet cat food you wouldn't tell the difference. Thawed out, mass produced piece of meat, placed on a grill for a sear and slapped on a plate. The taste was just as bad. No seasoning. Honestly the cheese on top did not have any taste either, 1 molecule away from being plastic.

The cheese and salsa that came with the chips 100% came from a can.

I might give this place another try in a few years. 2/5 stars. The food is edible. I've had worse. And the price was fair for what I got. Just don't expect...
