Jose Peppers

Lees Summit JP has excellent food and even better service! I even asked to speak to the manager to share how much I enjoyed the stellar service. The Cookie Monster dessert is amazing! I’m picky about my TexMex but this was great and the inexpensive Happy Hour margarita was yummy.

We all know that the food here is always great. My reason for the low score is this.
After I was seated, I got up to go wash my hands before eating. On my way to and from the restroom EVERY server I walked by SMILED at me. I also was past by both managers on duty, of which NEITHER smiled and I made eye contact with both.
It looks like the management could take a lesson from their servers and SMILE, instead of looking like this is a sinking ship.
Bravo servers!

Good Mexican food in a great location. I went here for lunch with my bff and her kids: 6 years, 4 years, and 1 year. Her older kids are very well behaved, but clearly the one in the high chair was fascinated with dropping teddy grams (which this place gives little kids when sat) and chips on the ground.
Since it was my friend’s birthday, I insisted she treat herself with margaritas, and she really likes them here. I was DD, so I stuck with water. The older kids got milk, and then split the mac and cheese, which was perfect between the two. My friend got tacos and requested no lettuce or tomato, and I ordered a lunch meal. When we all got our food, mine and the kids were all set, but hers came with lettuce and tomatoes, so she sent it back and the manager came out with the correct order. He was so nice about it that even her kids staged whispered «He was really nice!» when he left.
As former servers, my friend and I cleaned up the table as best we could when we were about to leave, but because the booth we were at was carpeted, I didn’t think cleaning up after the high chair would go well, so I took the paid bill and extra tip on top of the 20% up to our very nice server and apologized we were leaving the floor such a mess, but we really appreciated how cool she was about the kids. She honestly acted like it was nothing out of the ordinary and not to worry about it, but I’m certain the generous tip was the only reason for that.
So the food is good, the staff is great, the place is clean, and it’s a nice stop for lunch.

It’s been a few years since I ate at the Olathe location, but I remembered liking what I had so we tried this location. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness.
We started with the Jumbo Stuffed Jalapenos. They were indeed jumbo. Stuffed with chicken and jalapeño cream cheese, wrapped in Monterey jack cheese. Breaded and fried crisp. Served with tomatillo ranch. My son and I split one being concerned we would be too full to finish our entrees. They are quite tasty and very spicy!
I had the Monterey Chicken Burrito. Flame-​grilled chicken, Mexican rice, pico de gallo & cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, topped with espinaca. Awesome smokey taste to the chicken and smothered in a creamy, flavorful white queso and spinach sauce. I doubt I’ll ever try anything else here this is so good!
The wife had the Chicken & Avocado Enchiladas. This dish just really fell flat after the stuffed jalapeño and the burrito. She liked it but liked my burrito a lot more.
The picky spawn had the Jose Burger, plain, on a bun, cooked medium. Since they asked how he wanted it cooked it should mean that they grind it themselves. He loved it! He said their fries were very good also.
Oh, their unsweetened iced tea was great! I don’t know why it’s so hard for places to have a decent iced tea that isn’t rancid or flavorless. Their tortilla chips are the light and crispy type that I love! The salsa, while not spicy, did have lots of flavor. We will definitely be back again and again!
