This place I’ve been coming here for many years. No matter what time it is, everybody working is always smiling, always in a good mood. The food is delicious, drinks are amazing. If you never been please try their Big Mamas. You’ll thank me later. I can’t forget our waitress. Virydiana, you’re amazing. Thank you so much for being such an amazing waitress. Leo, give her a raise.

Jalapenos Barkley is my favorite Jalapenos location. All the ladies who work there are very kind, and the service is quick and great. I highly recommend the Taco Tuesday deals there that run all day!
