Jalapeno's Mexican Grill Allen

Now this is a casual place I have gone many times. You can get out of there for about 8 bucks including tip. The many times I have been I always order the same thing, (lunch portion of the fajita tacos (3) that come with rice and beans). The chips are nice and light and they don't put an ocean of salt on them. Not only do they come with a fairly tasty salsa, but they also put some thin, nearly tasteless melted cheese food (it adds texture and that's it).

Now I must say the tacos have always been consistently good for the price. Another thing that Jalapeno's is very consistent in and that's HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! This has happened EVERY time without exception. The servers are surly, inattentive and rude. They ignore you at any cost, I always have to fill my own water (I have seen other guests doing the same). I have even been so bold as to get my own chips and salsa refills by going (undetected) into the waiter's station.

This time being no exception, my "could care less about me" waiter sat me after reluctantly walking to the front. This time I figured it was time to branch out and see whatelse this place has to offer. As I browsed the menu I saw the words fat guys and former fat guys everywhere hold in reverence: ALL YOU CAN EAT.

It was all you can order from a huge combo menu, tacos (soft, hard, beef, chicken), tamales (pork, chicken), enchiladas (Cheese, beef, chicken, con carne, con queso), in every combination imaginable. So I started with 2 enchiladas (beef), and one crunchy taco (beef). At this point I was looking forward to the experience as I filled my own water.

The presentation was sloppy as hell but I persevered and dug in, BLEAH, Where is the Flavor? I added some salsa and the enchilada and taco became just a delivery device for the salsa. Sad, I thought "maybe it was a bad batch of beef". So I ordered two chicken taco (one hard, one soft). BLEAH, same problem NO FRIGGIN FLAVOR OF ANY KIND!!!!

I left feeling glad, glad that the price for this stomach filler was $6.25. I don't think I will go for the all you can eat next time, if there is one.
