Great atmosphere and close to the airport. Food was delicious ... we ordered the Lunch Special Burrito. $18: included main course, cup of soup and Ice-cream. Something to try... break the chips and eat them with the ice-cream... amazing like Fried ice-cream The food tasted "fresh", hard to describe. Something that is always missing from big chain restaurants Great place to get food when going to the airport early to avoid traffic

From the moment I walked in the staff made me feel welcomed. Great customer service and very authentic. My intention was to grab an order to go and as I sat down to view the menu Edwin offered some salsa and chips as I decided. My Server Rachel also offered some water which I thought was a beautiful gesture, the owner Andy took out the time to introduce himself and after hearing I travel for work offered a complimentary drink for the visit. My order was prepared quickly and as I waited I enjoyed the wonderful beverage, chip's and salsa. The staff makes it feel very welcoming. I sampled the food when I returned to my hotel room and and truly had no complaints.Thank you for the experience

Edwin was awesome and attentive, and there truly is no way to describe the food any other way than “AWESOME!” The salsa tastes so fresh! I took advantage of the lunch special - 3 full courses. The soup was great, and my tandoori chicken enchiladas had just the right amount of spice (and don’t forget the scoop of ice cream!). I love coming here because everything is so personal - and of course I’m already planning my next trip here!

Had a good late lunch. The restaurant was pretty empty and quiet, given it was a weekday. Their shrimp tacos and aloo tikki burger were fresh and delicious. Staff was friendly and welcoming

Uncle Jalapeño truly exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, the interiors were beautifully designed, and every dish was full of flavor. The live band brought so much energy to the evening a perfect blend of good food and good music. Great place to enjoy good food and fantastic entertainment. Highly recommended..... 😍
