Downtown
This Latin/Mexican restaurant is located right in the downtown part of Atlanta, across from the Hard Rock Cafe. They're on the second floor, so you have to walk through the lobby and up the escalator of the building. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the comfortable Saturday evening. The food was tasty - I had one of the less expensive sandwich-type meals with fried plantains. The mango pie was more like a mango cheesecake. We had decent service. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and I would go back here again.

love it!
It's a great location. Right downtown but not too loud because you-'re upstairs. The fish sandwiches are great and I love the plantain chips. The staff uniforms are a bit cheesy, but the food is great!

Downtown ATL's Best New Balcony View Over P'tree! Good Mexican-Fusion!
What was once the old location of Planet Hollywood, at the corner P'tree & Andrew Young International, is now a multi-level of new dining options. And Jalepeno Charlie's does not disappoint. It's on the second leverl of this building, with a great new balcony overlooking Peachtree. Just what we needed to kick-off the return to DT, and new residents. The menu is billed as Mexican-Fusion. After starting with a couple of rounds of very good margerita's and guac., we ordered the house speciality. It's Molcajete. We ordered the beef version-carrots, celery and beef served in a oven heated lava rock. With bubbling Rancherio Sauce and tortillas. Very tasty. We also like the Vegeterian Chili Relleno. And a spicy Cerviche of Talapia. This is a great new place for a after work fiesta, or a good Friday afternoon lunch. Service is brisk, and efficient.

Average food, poor service, great balcony
The balcony is great. I arrived early on a Thursday evening and was seated promptly. The place was not crowded, with staff outnumbering customers. Most of the staff were sitting at the bar or at tables along the wall. The food is average, and the service was terrible. My water and drink glass were empty long before I finished my meal, and they both remained empty during the rest of my visit. My waiter was one of the many waitstaff sitting along the wall, but he never made a trip to my table. My food arrived fairly quickly, delivered by someone other than my waiter. The food was nothing exceptional. It is too easy to get good Mexican food to waste time at Jalapeno Charlie's.

Absolutely Horrible Service
Well, let's start with the good stuff - the food. I felt that the food was above average. Creative Mexican American fusion that's different than what you'll find at your normal chain restaurants. Not only different, but it tasted great as well.

Terrible!!!
I went there while on business here and it was a terrible experience!!! I had fish tacos that were small and poorly seasoned and my husband's chicken burrito was just as bad! Skimpy cheese and salsa didn't help! Our waiter had no idea what he was doing..maybe he was new. I think sometimes places like think they don't have to worry about quality because they cater to tourists who won't be returning anyway. The only good thing I can say about it is the patio was nice. My money would have been better spent in the food court across the street!!!

avoid if at all ;possible
I went by myself for what should have a been a nice quick meal. Like the reviewers below the service I must concur is awful . I started my meal asking for reccomendations, my waiter couldnt speak English.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: Location, Food, Manager
After an hour of waiting and watching people around us sit down, eat, and leave, we finally recieved our cold food. Our drinks were never refilled until asked to do so, and we waited around for over another hour to simply request the check. When asked to speak with a manager he refused to come to the table and speak with us. He claimed he was too busy to even acknowledge us and even hear us out. Finally, after we literally searched the restaurant for the manager he claimed there was no point in even talking to us because there was nothing he felt he could do. As we were leaving we informed him we would never be returning and he nonchalantly smiled and said "Ok". I would greatly recommend never to attend Jalapeno Charlie's EVER...especially if you have other plans for an evening or enjoy eating warm food. I would not wish this experience upon anybody!Worldwide > United States > Atlanta, GA > Tex-Mex Restaurants
