New restaurant coming to EG

In about two months, there’s going to be a new restaurant in Eagle Grove. Perhaps you’ve noticed the eye-catching sign already hanging on the outside of the building which sits on the corner of Broadway and Commercial Ave. Jalapeño Mexican Bar & Grill will soon be opening in the former Godfather’s Pizza location. Owner Sophia Martinez said she can hardly wait to start welcoming customers to her second restaurant.

Martinez has owned and operated Jalapeno Mexican Bar & Grill in Britt for the past four years. But now, she’s ready to hand management of that location off to her son, who will be graduating from High School this year, so she can focus on the new one set to open mid to late May in Eagle Grove.

“I grew up in the business...and I began running my parents’ restaurant at the age of 16 or 17,” said Martinez.

When she finally opened her own restaurant Jalapeno Mexican Bar & Grill in Britt, she found that she had customers coming from all directions to enjoy what she had to offer. Some came for the unusual margaritas - strawberry and jalapeno, mango habanera, and avocado margarita of which a customer said he came all the way from Mason City just to try because he had heard so much about it. Others came, and continue to come, for the authentic Mexican cuisine - and several of those customers, she said, are from Eagle Grove.
