What sort of prices are we looking at?

$6.65 for a burrito. Had I known they were open I would have had lunch there Friday. I saw the menu one of my co-worker's had gotten at 4 in the afternoon.

Ate there last night on way to hockey game. Saw they were open thanks to aMexico Lindo Facebook notification.  Son and I each had the steak burrito w/rice and veggies. Very good! Veggies and cilantro tasted  very fresh, meat was flavorful. That plus two Cokes was ~$17. Very filling - almost passed on ice cream at the game.  Staff was helpful, despite opening day probs with computers and printing my cc receipt. Gave a free sample of the horchata (tasty).  Agree with previous comment: if you like Lindo, you'll probably like this.

They were closed a little before 7:30PM Saturday, so maybe it was a test run for next week.

Digit3: Did they close tons of resturants and fire all the employees while raping their 401K accounts to pad the pocket of the CEO? 

If so, then the protestors wouldn't eat Chipotle.  Also, we don't have a Chipotle up here for them to eat at anyway.  

Just because a company makes money doesn't mean the protestors are against them.  They are against cutting jobs to pad the 1% pocketbooks.

@ironic1

Chipotle does not use free range livestock.  They do use hormone-free and sometimes organic meat.

Lojasmo, thanks for the correction and clarification.

Last May, when Maya closed, we cobbled together a timeline of the that space with pictures of different permutations of the storefront.

I loved Taj, it was fantastic Indian food at a good price. Much better than India Palace since the Lakhans sold it, IMHO.

Stopped at Jalapeno Express today for lunch.

$8.71 after tax for a Burrito and at 16oz pop is a pretty darn good deal. Especially considering the burrito was about the size of 2 of the Burrito Union's two-fisters.

Had the Carnitas burrito, with Cilantro Lime rice, beans, hot salsa, sour cream, cheese, cilantro, pico de gallo, lettuce, red onion and tomato. 

The carnitas were a little bland, but I think that is by design. By itself the meat was not amazing, but with the fresh cilantro and rice it was excellent . Reminded me of the goat tacos I had on my last trip down south. Mmm.. Goat.

They have 6 different options (burrito, bowl, 3 tacos, salad, single tacos and Quesadilla) with five different meat choices (Chicken, Steak, Carnitas, Barbacoa and al Pastor) as well as a vegetarian option means pretty much anyone will have something they like.

They also serve beer and wine.

Of course, you can still get their chips and salsa ... though it is not free like when you go to Lindo, but I'm not complaining.

The fact that this location kinda sucks should not cause you to turn away, as the food (so far) is great.

So I told the family about the new place and we went there for dinner, it was DELICIOUS! Joel said his meat filled tacos (corn) were great, the kid liked her steak tacos, I loved my chicken taco. Joel had 3 tacos, the kid had 2, and I had 1. 2 beers. Bill came to about $25, if that. 

I am a very picky eater when it comes to Mexican food, b/c I grew up eating the best home cooked Mexican food in the world. This place is fabulous and I urge everyone to check it out, it's the best taco joint in town. Love the salsas too.

You probably just weren't using enough hot sauce sjixxxy, their extra hot hot sauce appears to be made from Habanero and adds an enticing flavor.  Though I might've felt better had a crew of authentic Mexicans been constructing my burrito, alas, still has some unexplainable level of authenticity over the Union.  Maybe those leathery tortillas, pulled chunks of Barbacoa,  or the Mariachi, and also I suppose because theirs (Union) is a refined hippy flavour.  Blackberry-steak in a wine-reduction burrito with commentary on class warfare.  Some people prefer that instead, which is fine.  Hey, where else can you get Fitger's beer and a burrito?  
So far, Jalapenos serves  a nice, fairly cheap, inner-city, somewhat authentic place to get some hopefully late night burritos and horchata, or Negra Modelo, to anchor the booze with. Hopefully, they add a little pizazz too, and some incentive, to stay strong.  Size matters, but change is constant.

Actually, all three employees the first day I was there were all Mexican. And they were wearing Mexico Lindo shirts (the same company owns both restaurants).

Perhaps not all the staff are Mexican, but there are certainly several working there.

I'll be back.

I went there for lunch two days ago and thought it was really good.  It was about 1:30ish, there was almost no one there. Hearing the line was out the door today is a great thing. Both the steak burrito and horchata were delicious!

Wow. My wife picked this up for dinner tonight. Yum. Fills our craving for Chipotle. 5/5. The pork was amazingly flavorful.

We tried it last night. The place was empty, and the burritos were terrific. What a great addition to town. Thanks to y'all for letting us know it was there and worth the stop. 

They need a more prominent sign outside. We knew where it was and drove by it twice.

The burritos are huge. I might have to try the tacos next time...

I have tried a few menu options and haven't been disappointed yet! Everything is always fresh and tasty. Yesterday I tried the guacamole, it was very good. My favorite is the carnitas. The horchata is also amazing!!! I hope they last!  Oh and the cheese dip!?! Yes please!

Kate and I went last week.

I would have loved the burrito except the wrapper was chilly, though the insides were toasty warm.  As a result, cheese melted oddly or not at all, and the mouthfeel was a little off.

Still, the rice drink was to die for, and the young lady who worked behind the counter was service with a smile, even at the end of a long day.

The term 'mouthfeel' sends shivers down my spine.

I ate at Jalapeno express this afternoon (around 1 o'clock. I was pretty excited to try it, and I ordered a steak quesadilla- the food was pretty bland and "gut filling." I would skip eating here, you will thank yourself later. And I think they should invest in a few more signs, it took me forever to actually locate the place!

The horchata rules.

I had the Barbacoa burrito on Saturday night and absolutely loved it. Great flavor, awesome portion for the six fifty. New downtown lunch alternative to the sandwich doldrums of Subway and Erbs. Vouching for this place to everyone.
