Señor Jalalpeño — dependable mexican in Lombard. Flavors that haven't been adjusted for mass appeal. Open late. Rachel Kennedy: "This is my 4th time at señor jalapeño and I am continually blown away each timeThe food is impeccable"

“I mean this is all stuff I never tried due to not finding an authentic halal spot”
Food is ok. Could've been better. The chicken in tacos was very hard looked like it was not fresh n was old.
I desperately want to love this place but they make it so difficult.
Like some of the other reviewers have said, the food is good especially for the inexpensive prices but the service is not the best.

“Their food is very tasty.”
Their food is very tasty. Restaurant is kids friendly. They offer halal menu which is very important for muslims. New owners changed their name to Senor HalalPeno, how sweet! We are very lucky to have such place in Lombard! Thank you Senor!

This is my 4th time at señor jalapeño and I am continually blown away each time The food is impeccable. The salsas are rich and brighten each dish. The taco salad bowl was crunchy and savory. The steak quesadilla was rich and heavy. The birria tacos were the best part!!! The chimichanga had tender meat and loads of flavor.

“Senor Jalapeno provided an exceptional dining experience that left a lasting impression.”
Senor Jalapeno provided an exceptional dining experience that left a lasting impression. I kicked off the meal with their fresh guacamole and chips, setting the tone for the evening. The al pastor tacos, featuring tender and juicy beef instead of the traditional pork, showcased a thoughtful touch to cater to diverse dietary preferences. I added some guac on my tacos for additional flavor profile. The flavors were robust, and they paired perfectly with a refreshing Mexican cola. The Chimichanga, a massive burst of flavors, further highlighted the restaurant's commitment to quality and freshness. What truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service, particularly the attentive assistance from owner Pablo. His passion for the cuisine shone through as he not only ensured our order was impeccable but also treated us to two experimental salsas that added an exciting heat to the meal. Senor Jalapeno not only met expectations but exceeded them, making it a definite go-to spot for those seeking a delightful halal Mexican dining experience.

“I just hit up this Mexican joint that's hands down, no cap, the absolute best in town.”
I just hit up this Mexican joint that's hands down, no cap, the absolute best in town. Now, let's taco 'bout the food. It's not just food; it's an experience. The Birria tacos? Let me tell you, they're straight-up lit. Every bite is a flavor explosion, like a DJ dropping the hottest beats at a music festival. Portion sizes? You won't be leaving hangry, that's for sure. This place is generous, like getting a bonus in your direct deposit. And the service? Quick and friendly, like your bestie texting you back in record time. When it comes to spice levels, they've got all the bases covered. From "I can't feel my face" to "mild and wild," you choose your adventure. This place isn't just the best Mexican spot; it's a whole mood. It's like when your favorite playlist shuffles to your top jams, one after another. If you're looking for the real deal, the Quesadilla, the whole food– this place is the GOAT. If you're a foodie with a passion for good Mexican food, you need to hit up this spot ASAP.

“I went here with my mom and sisters post graduation and my halal Mexican food craving was fully fulfilled.”
I went here with my mom and sisters post graduation and my halal Mexican food craving was fully fulfilled. Paul (who I think was the owner) was so incredibly kind and patient. He was there to help us whenever we needed help, answered our questions properly and just had such good energy. He saw that it was my graduation and told us he had a surprise for us after dinner—then brought us out the most delicious guava margaritas with a Chamoy rim YUMMM. His chefs have a magic touch because I swear I have never had food THAT good. My mom and I shared the steak fajitas which was perfect for two people! My sisters loved the steak tacos, and the chicken quesadillas. Their salsas are also phenomenal all three hit , and their elotes were soooo goood. Also they have the best refried beans I have had at any Mexican restaurant—I’m not kidding I was so surprised. I definetly will be coming back here with my husband next time to try more of the extensive menu.
