Under new ownership! Hopewell Junction's El Guacamole Hopewell is now El Jalapeño Bar & Grill - same staff, same menu, fresh new look. Inspired by the vibrant colors and bold flavors of Mexico, our renovated location has a Mexican-modern vibe with an array of mouthwatering dishes. From loaded nachos piled high with cheese and jalapeños to hearty burritos stuffed with savory meats and beans, each bite tells a story of tradition and authenticity.
