Pronounce it ha-la-pee-nio or ha-la-peh-nio, which ever you prefer, this place has really great Mexican food. The kitchen cares about using fresh ingredients. The food is consistently good, the sangria strong and reasonably priced. Though, Hot Jalapeño is a hidden gem along main street East Harlem (116^th street), this place really stands for their quality of food.
