I love Mexican food. Its one of my favorite foods. If it wasnt for Italian it would be my number one… HOWEVER, this place is just GROSS. Haskell is a small country town, and I believe this is the only sit down restaurant in town, so my family and I gave it try. We were so exicted to eat. WHAT A MISTAKE. This place was SO dirty, service was slow… mentally and physically. Food was medicore at its best. When we got home we literally felt sick. One of the WORST restaurants EVER. I am serious, if you respect your taste buds, don’t eat here.

Excellent service, was greeted right away by a young waitress named Ashley. She sat us and took our drink orders which came out real quick with three bowls of chips and salsa for seven of us. Very nice! I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants in my life and one unique thing on the menu is their«white Queso». It’s pretty stinkin’ delicious ;) I ordered a wet burrito with steak and shrimp, was asked what type sauce I wanted on top and chose the green chili sauce. It’s spicy but oh soo good! The salsa that comes with the chips is not spicy at all but the flavor is pretty decent. I asked for the extra spicy and it was real good. Parking was easy and it’s set in an easy to find spot.

When you live out in the country, it’s sometimes hard to find a decent restaurant. El Jalapeño, while not the most authentic Mexican restaurant I’ve been to(grew up in San Diego, CA), is a great, quick lunch or dinner spot. Their beef(ground) is loaded with oregano and gives off a great taste. I now use a good deal of oregano when making tacos at home. Their tamales and chiles rellano are outstanding… a good judge of any Mexican restaurant.

El Jalapeño is housed in a crumby looking building, but YUM the food is great! I find excuses to drive 30 minutes to Haskell just to eat at this little place. I am addicted to the PORKWETBURRITO(I do not care for the other wet burritos). Be warned, the wet burrito is enough for 2 people or at least 3 meals. There is room to improve, but I am a fan without a doubt.
