El Jalapeno

Solid Mexican food in the small town of Haskell.If you live in or around Haskell you are well aware of the limited dining options. And you are probably aware that that this is a good average Mexican restaurant. If for some reason you are traveling through Haskell, this is a decent place to eat. Drop in have a burger or their Mexican food.I ordered carne asada, but somehow the waitress got confused and brought me carne asada tacos. Probably my fault, I think I got her a little flustered when I ordered a chili toreado and hotter salsa. She didn’t know what a chili toreado was. The tacos were still very good though. We ordered a variety of menu items and they were all good.We got there at about 11:30 Sunday morning and by the time we left the place it was packed with customers waiting.If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my reviews in my collection "Jalapeno Highway" on Yelp. I've probably been there.

a friend and i stopped in here on 10.12.23 at 1300ish. we ordered some beans and rice and a beef quesadilla, chicken burrito. after the woman who took our order and never followed up afterwards till we asked for ticket. the food was so hot, all you could taste the green leafy burn of cilantro..it was in the refried beans and rice even. Haskell is a small town and didnt see any other mexican restaurants in town. its easy to be the best 1 in tiwn when you're the only 1. pack your lunch when you come to town or stop at sonic for a corndog....update: since i didnt eat but a couple bites from everything, i asked for a to-go container and took the dinner to a fire breathing dragon who like hot food. the pics are of the peices of cilantro i took out of just 1 slice of quesadilla..thats too much for a whole meal. Heat in food is not flavor..thank you for your time.

The taco salad was really good, the wet burrito is gigantic, enough for two, same with the delicious hamburgers. Great service. We purchase a pint of their regular salsa everytime we go there. My favorite at this time is their Fajita Nachos! Oh my, you must try. Chicken or beef, grilled onions etc. See the pictures. Just posting this makes me hungry. See you there!

We always have people asking where a good restaurant is that has a variety of flavor. El Jalapeno is the place to go. From the American Favorites, to kid friendly and Mexican... they have a meal for any craving! Each time we dine in or take out, the food and service is the best. Never a complaint and always a hot, wonderful and filling meal.Parking: New parking lot with easier access.

I typically judge a Mexican restaurant by their fajitas and so that's what I ordered. I was well pleased with the flavor and seasoning of the chicken meat. Most places will give grilled sliced chicken, but here they have it cut up and seasoned with the grilled onions and peppers. The tortillas were brought out in foil and were hot which was a nice alternative to some other places I've eaten at. Our waitress was very attentive to our table even though she was busy with other customers.

I had stopped in here a few months ago for lunch and the food was good then. Next to barbecue, Mexican is my favorite type of food so I stopped here for dinner today with my daughter when I finished another Inspection. I was shocked at the quality of the food. The salsa taste like Tostitos salsa with about a cup of salt added. No kidding, it was so salty we could not eat it. Then when my super nachos came the taco meat and chicken were just as salty. My daughters enchiladas were like they had set all day than been microwaved. Easily the worst Mexican dinner I have had in years. The only reason I gave it two stars is because our waitress was great.

I learned about this place 07-08. No place I have eaten since makes better Mexican food. They make one of the best white quesos I've ever had.I have never had a bad eating experience at this place, like sometimes you find a good place to eat and you just sometimes show up on a bad day never has happened here.Incredibly great service and people!!

This place is great! Everything we've ordered has been wonderful. Tacos, fajitas, enchiladas... all delicious! The only negatives are the atmosphere (not the coziest place in the world) and the chips and salsa (not terrible, just nothing special). The rest of the food more than makes up for any negatives though. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the area!

It's a good place with good service, the chicken fajita bowl is my favorite! Great drinks too I love this place. My grandmother and I went a while back and they helped her out and loaded her wheel chair for me it was so sweet to watch the community lend out a hand , it made my grandma feel special and she can't wait to come visit again !

We eat here at least 3 times a week. Great service, fresh food made to order. Sometimes I just want a plate of grilled onions and nothing else, never a problem.Small family owned restaurant but we really like it.
