The Jalapeno Tree

Food: we had a party of 12 so it took some time since it all comes out at once, but it was pretty quick. Im sure for a smaller group it would have been much faster. Service: our waitress was on point and quick. Man she was on top of everything. 20% tip. Atmosphere: it was jumping, even on new year day. Happy smiling people, calm, and had no issues.

Edited: I went back and tried the fajitas and the meat was overly salty and tasted mosty of pepper. Nothing was fresh. And we didn't get our drinks from the bar until we were ready to leave, it wasn't even busy. Will not be returning. I really tried to love it since the ambiance is great! The building and decor were really festive. We sat at the bar, and the service was good. The drinks were decent, according to my son. I had the shrimp bowl, and it was not awful, but the shrimp was the pre-cooked frozen type and not grilled. The rice was over-cooked instant style. The cheese was cool and stuck like a big clump on the shrimp. It was very greasy. Maybe I should have ordered the fajitas but they were overpriced in my opinion.

We had the beef fajitas which came out medium rare ( which is good ) but something was off with the texture. You could literally pull the medium rare meat apart by pinching it; like it was composed of meat glue. Now unless this was over-marinated In pineapple juice, us beef eaters know this is strange for skirt steak as it's not pinch-thru tender. Flavor was good however. Sadly the best thing we had were the chips and green salsa. It's so good. Service was outstanding however. Wonderful team working there.

Tried this place while on a bike ride through Denison. For the facility, there's plenty of parking, the dining room is clean, there a bar area for those that partake and has appropriate decor. The staff is very attentive and have a positive demeanor. The food was delicious. The portions were unexpectedly large. I'm over an hour away but plan to drive my wife here for dinner. I recommend giving it a try.

The fajitas are very good...the skirt steak eas do delicious and the flour tortillas are some of the best I have ever had. It did take a while to get seated and our food but it was worth the wait. Seems quite popular.
