The Jalapeno Tree

I am a Truck Driver. When I come to Texas, I love all The Jalapeño Tree Mexican Restaurants. This time I am at the one in Marshall, Texas. My server is Taryn. She is precious and was very good!

After spending a few days outside of Texas, we were really craving some Tex-Mex—and the Jalapeño Tree hit the spot! We arrived around 5:15 p.m. and were seated right away near the bar. Chips, salsa, and a creamy dip were brought to the table promptly, and our drink orders were taken shortly after. Even though the restaurant wasn’t busy, our drinks sat waiting to be delivered for a while, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the food more than made up for it! I had the Ixtapa, which was delicious, although it came with refried beans instead of the charro beans listed on the menu. My husband had the beef fajita enchiladas and enjoyed them. The staff was very polite and friendly throughout our visit. Overall, it was a solid Tex-Mex experience that satisfied our cravings.

Food was great as always! Taryn truly goes above and beyond—she’s attentive, friendly, and just an all-around pleasant server who makes the experience better from start to finish. The only downside was the Perfect Patron margarita. For $13, I was hoping it would have a bit more of a tequila presence, as it leaned more on the “mixey” side than expected. That said, overall it was still a great experience, and the excellent service and food will definitely keep me coming back.

Quiet Sunday when I visited but the food was great and service very good. I would just say that a knife would be handy and more serviettes on the table.

Always a decent place when we are in town visiting family. Big portions of food. The service has always been good. The A/C is no joke. It’s always cold in here. But overall good place to go.
