Hubby and I went for the 1st time last week . We got enchiladas and my cheese one was decent . The chips and salsa were not good , I feel like they opened a bag of knock off tostitos and a jar of pace . I dont mean to complain so much, but when you walk in the pine Sol smell was way over bearing, I love that it was so clean and the service was great, BUT I couldnt finish my food because the floor cleaner made me lose my appetite. Probably will continue to go to La Frontera.

Homestyle Mexican American and even speciality plates likes posole and menudo here. Reasonable prices. Local whites and hispanic clientele speaks to universality of the menu appeal. Despite the namesake, food can be ordered mild or not spicy.

El Jalapeño Café has been a Southlawn Plaza staple for a long time, holding on as the retail center has faded over the years. Stepping into the cafe feels a bit like a time capsule with old cafe decor going strong. We came for lunch on a Monday at about 11:45am and there were three open tables. We sat ourselves and were greeted quickly. Service was fast and friendly here. The chips are tostitos-style and the salsa is thin but flavorful. Our entrees were served on 90s style restaurant trays. I had the three cheese enchiladas plate and added two eggs on top. The sauce is a classic Tex-Mex type. The eggs were cooked perfectly. My partner had the No. 6 - one each of a tostada, taco, enchilada, and tamale. Based on past menu posts it looks like the cafe hasnt raised prices for at least 18 months, if not longer, and much of the menu is under $10. The cafe seems to be standing still in time but continues to serve up a good breakfast and lunch. Theyre open 7:30-2 Monday to Saturday. Parking: Large retail center with a few shops open, lots of available parking. Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance, door swings into the cafe.

I had the breakfast special with scrambled eggs with chopped ham. Hashbrowns. Homemade biscuit and gravy. The biscuit was very good. I got the hot sauce in the side . Very good flavor on the sauce as well. Will be back to try lunch or dinner for sure.

let me just say This morning was my first time trying anything from here and I am so glad I did! Order breakfast burritos to go and they were all so hot, fresh, delicious, and perfectly filled! And for a reasonable price! (In this economy ) And the hot sauce was good as well! Not very hot but good flavor! Next time I will ask if there is hotter sauce. I will be back to dine in and try more food :))
