On March 3rd, 2003, Jalapenos was opened by Enrique Delgado to bring authentic Mexican food to the Illinois Valley. Family owned and operated, Jalapenos has remained successful over the years with the hard work of its owner, Enrique, and the employees at the restaurant. Showing up every morning 2 hours before open, the employees chop all vegetables daily, and use the freshest ingredients available. Jalapenos is a fun, family friendly restaurant that provides great service and delicious meals.
