Reviews for Mini Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant in Holden Beach, NC

I was pretty impressed. It was super clean in there! Service was excellent. Even their salsa was pretty good. I ordered a fajita... salad and it was the best salad I've had in a while, it was really fresh and the lettuce was so good. I will be back, I feelthe prices were on point with the quality of the food. Read more

Food was very good. I had the chicken taco salad and really liked it! The other 3 people in our party said their food was... really good too! My husband got a burrito but he said it was too spicy.. but he doesn't like spicy foods. Read more

Food and margaritas were delicious. The staff was friendly. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest and one of the toilets was... clogged. Other wise great. I would ear here again. Read more

We went to this restaurant twice this week. The chips were not stale, very fresh, and the salsa was awesome. We had the supreme... nachos, the steak and cheese nachos, the spinach quesadilla, kids cheese quesadilla and the fried ice cream. Everything wasgreat! We didn't have margaritas but I did see them on other tables....they are huge! So maybe worth the price I see othersposting about. The restaurant staff both times were great, very friendly, and attentive. This is also a very kid friendlyrestaurant with a kids menu. I highly recommend for families. Read more

Last year's experience was perfect with takeout. This year's dine-in was a different story. Service was lacking attention as... in we had to ask for silverware. Buy most irritating was the fact I ordered a margarita that I did not specifically request astop shelf. It was nothing special, lacked garnishes, was normal size and worst of all salted the rim with table salt. To addinsult to injury, it cost 17.99 and the server didn't indicate I was about to be robbed on the price. Literally more expensivethan the food I ordered. Every other restaurant in the area had normal expected drink prices. I drank 3 drinks at a fine muchnicer restaurant for the same price as this one and they were made with fresh orange juice.

Pretty tasty Mexican food and really good salsa! Was surprised that the house margaritas were $15

The tortilla chips and fajita wraps were stale, old or not made onsite. The server was somewhat unfriendly and didn't really... seem to have the tableside charisma or passion for being a professional server. Now for the good: The main entrees were preparedexcellent and were delicious. The employee that delivered the food to the table was really friendly and courteous. The dessertwas out of this world.

This was our first time going to the Mini Jalapeño at Holden Beach. We?d heard good things, so we decided to give it a try. We... arrived a little before 5pm and were seated immediately. Our orders were taken quickly and the food arrived fast. Our serverswere attentive and quick to fix any mistakes (one of us received a sweet tea in which a tea bag had split, so he got a mouthfulof tea leaves). The food was good, but not the best thing I?ve ever had. I got the chicken with spinach, onions, mushrooms,rice, and beans. All in all, nothing super special but would eat here again if I was craving Mexican food on vacation. Read more
