  The steaks that we ordered were perfect and the service was extraordinary. I would totally recommend this place to anybody that is looking for a great piece of steak and sides

  Pick another spot.. Plain and simple they totally screwed up my order and the waiter was a jerk and didn’t even seem to care . Thank goodness the bartender was cool. This place was only good for drinks.

  What’s the bUZZ on Jalapeno Grill and Cantina?. Not an Escondido resident or even frequent visitor, picking bUZZ Nights have been a little challenging for this area. It was only because I was on my way to ROCKnHAIR that I drove by this cute little restaurant right off the freeway. I hopped out to grab a menu and see if this would be a possibility and was hooked by the smell right away. Honestly, if I didn’t have an appointment, I would have grabbed the kids and dined there right then and there.That couldn’t be the case. So it wasn’t until this past week when I got the ladies there and had the amazing privilege of trying out this restaurant for the first time of many to come. The parking was a little difficult. They’ve got a parking lot in the back and there is parking on the side street, but all of those spots were filled at happy hour time and a few of us had to park in a dark alley. Not fun when we left after it got dark.I was greeted right away by our waiter, Jorge. He was a delight to have; friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, and accommodating. BEWARE: The chips are addicting. Better than any Mexican restaurant in Northern San Diego.Our table dined on Coconut Shrimp and Jalapeno Cheese Sticks to start. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. There were two sauces: a spicy cream sauce that also came with the cheese sticks and the other was the SAME sauce served with calamari at 3 other restaurants I’ve reviewedI love cheese sticks. I love cheese sticks more than the normal gal. I love them so much I know that Denny’s and Jack in the box happen to be the best place to satisfy my craving. My hope is to find a restaurant that can make them that good consistently: Hot, melted, crispy on the outside, great sauce to accompany it. Not the case here and I was SOOOOO disappointed. The breading looked amazing with the chunks of jalapeno floating around, but biting into the cheese was like biting into my child’s string cheese stick. Can someone please tell me why a restaurant can not master the art of melting cheese and a fast food chain can???Being at a Steakhouse I had to order some sort of meat dish. I ordered the Prime Rib Chico Cut. Chico was the smallest and most reasonable cut at $15.95 and served with 2 sides of my choice. I ordered the Jalapeno Cheddar Mashed Potatoes and the black beans. My plate came out filled to the max and my Prime Rib was no chico!!! The Prime Rib was aged and cooked to perfection. The best Prime Rib that I can remember, to be honest. It was tender and melted in my mouth with so much flavor that I savored every last bite. (With the appetizers already taken in, I couldn’t finish my plate, but were great leftovers the next day)The mashed potatoes were a delicious side and went well with the meat. I never even tried the black beans. I loved every minute here and recommend you ALL try it!!! I can’t wait to go back and try out one of their amazing specials. Please have the seared Ahi when I go back?!!! I was dying to try that dish!!http://www.thebuzzladies.com/2011/04/your-comments-on-jalapeno.html
