José Jalapeños was founded in 2013 by José Luis, a passionate cook with over 17 years of culinary experience. What started as a dream to bring authentic, from-scratch Mexican cooking to Columbia, Missouri has grown into two beloved community restaurants. Every dish we serve is made fresh to order using real ingredients and family recipes — because shortcuts have no place at our table. When you dine with us, you are not just a customer. You are family.
Every dish is made to order from fresh, authentic ingredients — real flavors, family recipes, no shortcuts.
José and his family have welcomed guests since 2013. From Columbia to Ashland, you will always get home-cooked hospitality.
