This strip-mall establishment really gets high marks from the Mixed Stew Crew. We recently made a visit to Jalapenos and enjoyed the appetizers and tapas menu items. Every appetizer (no matter how expensive at regular price) costs only $5.00 during happy hour. The ambience may remind patrons of the Mediterranean. We suggest the Mejillones Cantina with over a dozen steamed mussels in a mix of tequila, tomatoes, white wine, and oregano. The Ceviche Levantino with shrimp, scallops, and fish in a tangy citrus marinade was also a hit. We even tried the Albondigas de Cordero, which has savory lamb meatballs in a rich cream sauce with almonds. Finally, we enjoyed two orders of the Vieras con Azafran that consists of tender cooked scallops in a saffron sauce. The scallops were succulent and not overcooked. Each dish was elegantly plated. Remember that some of Jalapenos’ tapas and appetizers will run over $9.00 when ordered outside of happy hour. Oh, and by the way, margaritas at $5.00 during happy hour as well.
