Located at the Liberty Lake Farmer’s Market on Saturdays (and, apparently, in the South Perry district the rest of the week) is Jalapeno Jeaven and its jovial owner, Lenny. I stopped by early (if 9 am indeed is early) in the morning, when I was decidedly ready for the “HOT!” breakfast burrito. And it was hot. And it was good.

Now while Jalapeno Jeaven does claim to be “authentic Mexican,” the food feels decidedly a few miles north of the border, both in size and style. This is not somewhere you would go for a true Mexican taco (we have De Leon for that.) If you can live with that fact, then the egg/cheese/meat-stuffed burrito will make for a good breakfast that is spicy enough to wake you up and quite probably cure a hangover.

Jalapeno Jeaven is good eats for anybody who’s not a purist.
