" My husband and I went for dinner but ended up disappointed with our meals. The tacos we ordered seemed dry, and the beans were cold. While the service was polite, I felt that we could have gotten better food for the price. I might give it another try but not anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food for the price! The burritos were loaded with fillings and the flavors were authentic. I love exploring new hidden gems like this one in Little Rock. Will definitely be back for round two. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the vibrant feel of El Jalapeño! The decor is simple but welcoming. I usually opt for the taco salad which is filled with fresh ingredients. My friends also rave about their fish tacos. The only bummer is that seating is limited, but I think that's part of its charm! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at El Jalapeño. The vibe is great, the staff was simply friendly and the food was super tasty. I had the shrimp tacos, which I never usually order, but I think I've changed my mind thanks to them. Definitely going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to eat at El Jalapeño after hearing all the buzz! The hype is real. The salsa had a perfect kick and the nachos were piled high. Lovely staff too. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with my friends after hearing good things and was pleasantly surprised. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality is superb! I had their chicken taco and it surpassed my expectations. I’ll definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jalapeño is a special find. There’s something about their beef burrito that transports me straight to Mexico! I love the flavors, and the staff is always so welcoming. My only wish is that they extend hours a bit, as it fills up quickly. " (*Curated Review*)
