Reviews for Jalapenos in Peru, IL
Love the food and atmosphere! Perfect place for a birthday celebration!
Overall it was an ok experience. We thought we were getting a frozen margarita based on the picture but we received an ice less... drink. The food taste good. Someone at the table had to wait for their food about 5 minutes after the rest of the table andanother person didn?t get their corn tortillas preventing them from starting their fajitas. But the server did bring them oncehe checked on us. Read more
We stopped for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Got seated right away, even though it was a bit crowded. We got chips and salsa... right away. Salsa was one of the best I ever had. It took a long time to get acknowledged by our waiter, but after initialinteraction service was fast. We shared a table made chunky guacamole and shrimp fajita, which was delicious. Read more
First time eating here and unfortunately won't be back. Watched people who came in after us get their food before us (one was... even the exact same thing I ordered). An hour later our food finally came and it was very disappointing. Steak was tough andwasn't edible. I pushed my plate to the side and ate the rice and beans which were very good, thankfully. Our waiter knew therewas something wrong because we had been waiting so long and he didn't even bother to check on us. Don't waste your money like Idid! Read more
We were there on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of free parking but the restaurant was crowded and the tables were close... together. There appeared to be an area that at some point had outdoor seating but it was not usable when we were there. Thestaff seemed very preoccupied and not real friendly. It was loud in there and our server was soft spoken so it was hard for usto hear and understand what was being said so there was a lot of repeating on both sides. The gentleman who was running food tothe tables was loaded down and ducking around staff and patrons with 4 to 5 plates on one arm which he ended up dropping severalfull plates luckily no one was hurt. The food was your basic Mexican food. One order was chicken tacos and they were enjoyed bythe one who ordered them, one order was a beef chimi meal but one end appeared torn so that bit tasted burned. The filling waspretty bland but was better after the hot salsa was added. The third meal was a chicken and pineapple meal, it was good and alittle different than what is found elsewhere. The restroom was clean and roomy but it was odd that the partitionhad a huge gapmaking it awkward to use. Read more
Our first time here and we liked it! We ordered the Carne Asada, Playa de Carmem, a Quesadilla, and Pollo de Milanesa. We also... ordered 3 margaritas, one with alcohol, one with little alcohol, and one with none. They add way too much alcohol for the normalmargarita. But over all great service and fast. Keep in mind we did go when it was 8:30 PM almost time to close but still a goodamount of people. Will definitely be coming back. The only complaint is they should add salsa or something to the Milanesa dePollo so it isn't that dry. But still very good. ?? IG: @sunflash.photography Read more
The food and drinks were pretty good, but the service definitely leaves something to be desired. The chips and salsa were great... and our drinks came fast but our food took about half an hour to get to our table after we ordered. So don?t go here if you arein a rush to eat and get out. The layout is also not the best. It?s a congested mess where you get seated, pay and exit. Also,the waiters are coming in and out of the kitchen in that same place. Read more
We couldn't believe the portion size of the nachos. The food was fresh and came out fast. The chips and salsa were... delicious. Service was very good. :) Loved this stop on our road trip. Read more
