Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is diffrent than a lot of your mexican resturants you get chips and refried beans brought to your table but they have a great salsa bar with many different one to chose from. The food was great and the presentation is top notch you think you are in a high end resturant. Was a wonderful surprise love eatting here.

This is, BY FAR, the best Mexican restaurant in this area. The food is so delicious that this is the only place to consider visiting when you come to Marion. The fajitas, the burritos, the shrimp cocktail. You can't go wrong!! I love this place!!! Also, a huge shoutout to Ishmael, a great server here who always seems to be the one keeping things going!

Very tasty food. Plan on the visit taking a while. Food takes longer than at any other Mexican resteraunt but is worth the wait. Salsas at the bar is very good as was all of our meals. The service, while friendly, wqs nearly non existent. The place was very empty both when we arrived and by the time we left. Table of 5 folks our server only came back once for refills after the food was brought.

I so very rarely find reviews on Trip Advisor to be off, but Jalapeño Fresh Grill was a disappointment. Two friends and I were in the area for a girls’ weekend and a belated celebration of my birthday. We all love Mexican, and Jalapeño Fresh Grill was supposed to be my birthday dinner. We were seated fairly quickly, but the service was bad from the start. The older woman serving us acted like she would rather be anywhere but there, and it was a while before she even took our orders. We then had to inquire about the salsa bar because she did not bother to explain it or ask if we’d been there before. It wasn’t extremely crowded when we arrived, but there was obviously some issue with the kitchen. Our server eventually brought out two plates and seemed annoyed when we insisted it was not ours. (Remember, there were three of us.). We are pretty positive she had forgotten to submit our order because numerous tables were served that arrived after us, and it took forever for our food to arrive. My dinner, Pollo Loco, finally arrived, and it was a disappointment. It was supposed to be served on a bed of rice, and the rice was on the side. Vegetables (onions, peppers, zucchini) were under two chicken breasts lightly covered with cheese sauce, and the vegetables had been cooked maybe 30 seconds. The one bright spot was the small amount of pineapple salsa on the chicken. If a customer has to wait that long for their meal it had better be cooked and served as advertised. My one friend had an enchilada dish, and she thought it was just ok. My other friend had the quesadilla kid’s meal that she liked. We enjoyed the chips. We had three baskets because we waited so long for our food. As a matter of fact, we were there almost two hours! Maybe it was an off night, but we do not plan to return.

Talk about authentic Mexican food. It might take a little while to get the food, but there was one chef and he knew what he was doing. The chips to start - homemade, awesome, and accompanied with a warm bean/cheesy dip. They have a salsa station with 5 different types of varying heat. The portions are massive and delicious. The burrito takes up the whole plate and covered in sauce. The Mexican Taco Trio (pork, chicken, steak) is HUGE and absolutely delicious.

The food here is really good. It has a lot of flavor. They have things on their menu that you don't always see at a typical Mexican restaurant, but they are still very traditional. The staff was very friendly. The portion sizes are huge so you will more than likely be taking some home for the lunch the next day. The only negative thing I can say is that the tea was a little watered down.

If you want authentic and the most delicious Mexican food you have had in a long time, enjoy a meal at Jalapeno Fresh Grill. I have eaten here many,many times - and it is always muy rico y sabroso. My favorites are el pollo veracruz, the chili verde burrito, the veggie fajitas and chicken tamales. My husband really likes the carne asada and the seasonal steak specials are the best. ¡Buen provecho!

The food is usually great here, but make sure you call to see if they are open. We drove over an hour one way for my husband's 60th birthday and they were closed for a private party. It was 6/10/2023 on a Saturday night. Most restaurants only do private parties on off nights. Very disappointed, but we did find out that Salsas is wonderful with big portions.

By far one of the best Mexican Restaurants I’ve been to! We all ordered different items and all of us raved over how good it was! Portions were large so we all had lunch for the next day! The salsa bar was absolutely amazing!! We will definitely be stopping again in the future!!

Flavorful food and good service. I had the green chili enchiladas with shredded beef. It was not smothered in cheese, like other places.

This is one of my all time favorite Mexican Restaurants! You can taste the love and see the passion that Chef Ernesto puts into his dishes! He makes art out of his food presentation! The Sunday buffet brunch is a wonderful and bountiful array of flavorful dishes. Not a huge buffet fan, this is one not to miss! The food is always plentiful in proportions and value!

We were on a family trip in Western North Carolina and stumbled on one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of eating at. We had shrimp fajitas, mixed enchiladas and mixed tacos and all were fantastic. I’ve had Mexican food all over the Southwest and this is still some of the best.

Step above your typical Mexican. Great service. Staying at Hidden Creek RV Resort and if area again would not hesitate to go back. They do not serve alcohol.
