Enjoyable atmosphere, good music. We ordered brisket nachos, white queso , taco plate. Taco meat seasoning was Really delicious. The 2 complimentary house dips alone are great! We had a fantastic server Jason. Good sweet tea.

I wanted some good mexican food and this place served just that. I walked in and waited about 5 minutes to be seated because people had reservations. No surprise, this place is awesome. The food was great and the cocktail I ordered was refreshing. The waiters/ waitresses were very attentive to the guests, including me as well, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is awesome. You can come here with your family or come here with some friends and hit the bar. This place is so good that I came here 2 nights in a row while I was staying in the Denison area for those nights. Thank you Jalapeno Tree for making my stay in Denison better!

Visited again, and took friends that had never dined there. As usual the food was top notch, and drinks huge. Great meal as always! Wish we had one closer to us.

I took the Littles here for supper and one wanted a hamburger and one wanted a taco. Both enjoyed their meals. I chose a build your own combo with a crunchy taco, puffy taco, and 2 enchiladas.

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.

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.

We love the Denison location, and come up to 3-4 times a week. The staff is simply amazing. The only thing we don't love is that we have asked and asked for some good bourbon at the bar, specifically Woodford. I know the management it's working on it, but it's a shame we have to go to other local restaurants to get decent bourbon 😥

The Jalapeno Tree is a popular restaurant chain that specializes in Mexican cuisine. Overall, it has a good reputation for serving tasty and authentic Mexican dishes. One of the standout items on the menu is the fajita bowl, which I enjoyed. This dish includes a combination of grilled meats, with sautéed onions and peppers, served over a bed of rice and beans. I appreciate the generous portion sizes and flavorful seasoning of the fajita bowl. Another highlight of The Jalapeno Tree is its selection of salsas. I've enjoyed both the green and red salsa. Many diners rave about the freshness and bold flavors of the salsas, which can be a great addition to any meal. While The Jalapeno Tree is generally well-regarded, some customers have noted that the prices can be a bit high compared to other Mexican restaurants. However, most people agree that the quality of the food justifies the cost. Overall, if you're a fan of Mexican cuisine and are looking for a satisfying meal, The Jalapeno Tree is a decent choice. The fajita bowl and salsas are particular favorites, and the restaurant's reputation for quality and authenticity make it a reliable option for a tasty Mexican meal.

This place had been going down in quality since my last review. It became just a place to fill a void. Then, recently, it became very good. There must be new management. Good tacos, rice, beans, …

Service was ok near closing time so a little rushed. Your was your basic Tex mex and fajitas. If you need a quick fix maybe worth your while.

Our server was very slow and we had to remind him about things we had asked for previously, then took forever to bring it. Then at the end he took our money for payment, came back 8 minutes later and asked if we wanted our change?! Then took another 7 minutes to bring it! Do not ever assume that the change is all yours!

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.

Great food, but unfortunately the customer service is consistently disappointing when we dine in. It’s one of the main reasons we don’t visit more often - even though we’d really love to, because the food is great.

I should have known that a Mexican place with parkay on the tables wasn't a good idea, but I was there and hungry. I ordered to go at the bar, the bartender took a long time to acknowledge me and never really greeted me. I ordered and then waited. My order finally arrived and a manager rang me up and handed over my dinner and to go marg. The burrito had the wrong sauce after I specified TWICE what I wanted. The box is chips and salsa were placed sideways in the bag and spilled all over and soaked thru the bag. The burrito was easily the blandest, worst I've ever had. I would take taco bell over this whyte people version of Tex Mex. The refried beans had no flavor, the chili sauce on the burrito supplied what flavor it had but don't forget I ordered ranchero sauce. Won't be back again.

I visited awhile ago with a friend of mine and we were served this white looking sauce with our salsa? What was it? We both thought it was ranch... im also curious why this white sauce was served with salsa.

One of the worst food experiences I've ever had in Denison. My wife and I went here one time about a year ago and found the food incredibly bland and tasteless. Today we had a few moments for lunch and thought we would give it a second try. It was a mistake. I ordered the tortilla soup and beef Taco combo. The soup had almost no flavor and was served lukewarm. The taco was 99% iceberg lettuce and had virtually no flavor either. Not even the tortilla chips seemed fresh or tasty. A quick barometer I use to consider a place is to see if any employees are smiling. I didn't see one smile or one hint of happiness on any of the employees. We came in for a 1:00 lunch so there wasn't a big lunch crowd at that point. Lots of servers, but those that were there didn't seem too interested about why we weren't eating much of our food. Since there are many other options for good Mexican food within a mile or two of this place, we won't be returning.

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.

The worst customer experience by far. You have the rudest staff that hate their jobs. The waiter wants to approach my table with my family and tell me I look like a kid and mind you I am there with my husband and 2 kids. She acted like we were bothering her by being there. If you don’t like your job find a new one. She gave part of our order to a different table. When she took our order she put it in wrong. My daughter order two enchiladas and she brings them out on separate plates. Who wants food on separate plates. Then the other waiter who brought the food was even worst then the original waiter when I tell her it was supposed to be two enchiladas on one plate she slams down the plate and said I’m done and walks off. When asking to speak to a manager she tells the manager we had a problem with the queso, because that is what he stated when approached our table. When that was clearly not the problem is was the way my family was being treated and how we were spoken to by staff. This was by far the most unprofessional and unpleasant experience. Need to retrain staff to know what customers service means. I will never come back to this establishment and will tell everyone not to come here.

We went the Denison Location and it hasn’t changed one bit! The quality of taste in food is terrible. It’s not that good anymore (Denison location). It’s like there is no passion in making good Mexican food anymore. I don’t recommend this place at all. The chip and salsa needs an upgrade as well. If you don’t have a good chips and salsa Houston we have a problem!!!
