“ The paintings in the facility were awesome! If you're lucky, the painter may be working while you're there, The Calhoun's from Tulsa, Oklahoma! #greencountry ”
“ Jalapenos recently opened their doors to the next swinging place in Eagle River Alaska! The atmosphere is worthy of five stars. They do have a rooftop and an outdoor patio which will be luscious to experience a cold drink in the summer months on our long summer night. ”
“ Had to stop in while in Eagle River after seeing so many of their commercials. Beautifully decorated and an eye for detail. Both of our entrees were delicious and the service impeccable. Friendly, attentive and always had a full drunk without having to ask. Go NOW!!! ”
“ Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Mexican food, great service, and incredible drinks! The highlight of our visit was definitely the margarita flight—each one was bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. Whether you love classic lime, fruity blends, or something a little spicy, there’s a margarita for everyone. The food was just as impressive! From the fresh chips and salsa to the flavorful entrees, every bite was packed with authentic taste. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. The service was also top-notch—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a fantastic Mexican dining experience with amazing drinks, Jalapenos is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back for more! ”
“ Update: 6/12/25 Ever since Jalapenos moved to their new location, the quality of food and the service has become lacking unfortunately. We’ve been loyal Jalapenos customers for so many years and have never had any issues until the last two orders. Today’s order was horrible. The mini asada tacos didn’t taste normal and the chicken chimi is now the size of a child’s chimi however still the adult size price. Mr Ramos I sure hope you can fix the issues. Original review: Best authentic Mexican food in Eagle River/Anchorage area. ”
“ We love the food and Ms. Heather so much! We always make sure to leave with an extra quart of salsa, Horchata and Guacamole. Update: We finally made it to the New Restaurant and I am in LOVE! Now the environment shows the beauty of the food and the staff. Everything is in harmony and Eagle River should be very proud and honored to have such a beautiful Gem. ”
“ Loved the atmosphere of the party room and the third floor deck! The food is super delicious and the presentation was Instagram worthy!! Definitely recommend the scratch and jalapeno margarita!! ”
“ We recently visited Jalapenos, and I was impressed by how stylish and inviting the restaurant is. The design is beautiful, creating a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. Since we came with a big group, the food wasn’t perfect, so I might need to give it another try. However, the mini chimis were absolutely delicious! I don’t drink, but their virgin Raspberry Daiquiri and virgin Pina Colada were both amazing. The staff was great, and the overall experience was enjoyable. I'm looking forward to coming back for another visit! ”
