They make their own corn tortillas! And the rice is just like mom's... shhh. Don't tell her. Barbacoa tacos! Trust me, get the barbacoa. I'd put a pic, but I forgot to take a pic before I inhaled my food. read more

Cold bad food. No worth a penny. El pastor was tasteless. Salsa has no flavor. A burrito is 15 dollar for cold just rice.

Really great place for tacos and reasonably priced Mexican food. The barbacoa was delicious. The tortillas are homemade which is so nice. We also had a tamale which was moist and very flavorful. They're also happy to answer questions about allergens. Absolutely delicious we will be back! read more

It has been on my to try places when I am in the area and keep passing by and forgetting it is closed on Sunday! Glad I finally stopped by since it was authentic and delicious! I was greeted by the owner and she was nice, friendly, attentive and happy to answer any questions and make suggestions. I ordered 2 chicken tacos with corn tortillas and pickled jalapeños, a side of rice and a jamaica (hibiscus) water. Everything was fresh, flavourful, assembled to order and delicious! I will definitely be back and keep them as pne of my go to's for the area. read more

An unassuming place on the outside but inside I found tasty tacos and kind and wonderful service. And I didn't need a second visit to determine if I liked it or not. I ordered a steak taco and barbacoa taco in soft tortillas. After heating the flats, a healthy helping of meat nearly filled the round taco. I chose pico salsa for both and then green salsa to put on one and spicy salsa for the other. All for free, I finished both off with chopped red onions, cilantro and pickled jalapeños. Both were very tasty and satisfying. Plenty of other food options are available, as well as Mexican soda and candy. The location might be easy to miss in the small storefront plaza. The seating is adequate and pricing is fair. read more

Class a establishment so good homemade fresh people are awesome. I highly recommend try it out.

One of my go to Mexican spots. Service is always fast and friendly. Great tacos with the right amount of seasoning and toppings.

I always love the Fiesta Bowl they have! It's delicious and WAY better than the corporate mexican food places. Support small businesses, especially this one! read more

Not sure what all the hype is about. I'm an avid taco eater and have tried so many of the taco spots in the greater Orlando area and this is probably my least favorite. I got 4 chicken tacos. 2 grilled chicken, 2 shredded chicken. My wife got the steak quesadilla. EVERYTHING was dry and bland. The steak quesadilla was sooo flavorless. Chipotles kids quesadilla is better than this. Sign outside says fresh, but everything is sitting there getting warmed up. It's a cute place and the staff was kind, but the food just isn't great. Will be sticking to my fav Quesa Loco on the Orlando/Winter Park cusp. Similarly priced and soooo much better. read more

Staff not friendly. Restroom not clean. Dry meat. Had high expectations but mothing really special. Pricey.

Tacos were pretty good, they were small but tasty. The tamale was the worst investment that we've ever made. $4 for a roll of dough no meat at all. I'm not sure if it was a mistake or what but the entire had 3 tiny pieces of shredded chicken and that was it. The Staff was friendly and courteous. read more

KUDOS and Muchos Gracias especially to Alejandra for superb customer service and recommendations! A fellow Yelper suggested Jalapeños and I'm so glad I came! I ordered 3 Corn Tacos with Barbacoa, Carnitas and Al Pastor and a Horchata to drink. I'm was thoroughly impressed that everything was made in house from the Housemade corn tortillas, salsa, and the various meat fillings. All the ingredients are made fresh. I got the following toppings like cilantro, sour cream, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and lime. Please come and visit this authentic Mexican restaurant from lunch to dinner. Jalapeños also does catering on a larger scale for company parties and functions! I encourage all to come and support this local business and enjoy where the real Mexican food is! read more

Delicious. Small family chain. Can't say enough. The kids love it too! It's addictive - be careful!

The food is pretty good, a bit more tex-mex than we expected, it feels like a fast food place. The Queso and chips are soooo good. Al pastor meat is only pork it does not contain any pineapple or the traditional sweet-spicy taste. There's a lot of toppings available for your tacos and burritos. They also have an area full of Mexican candy and snacks. There is parking in front of the restaurant, and service is very kind and fast as everything is pre-prepared. They play Mexican music inside and it is a very casual lay/back atmosphere. read more

Called twice before I got there and nobody answered. when I arrived the worker was in the back on their Phone, the toppings were all low and obviously sitting for awhile. no wonder the place was empty. read more

My daughter and son in law wanted authentic Mexican food and I knew just the right place to take them. The food is flavorful, the customer service is warm and inviting and the inside dining is clean! read more

I am extremely dissapointed. I've heard good things about this place and my tacos had literally zero flavor to them at all. My corn soft shell was either stale or cooked to a crisp I couldn't tell. I couldn't bite through it. My fiancé had to throw his burrito away. I told the manager and she offered a 50% refund lol. read more

Originally ordered 2 steak and 1 barbacoa corn taco...... then realized they were so good, I ordered two more!!! Delish, fresh, great prices and cute atmosphere. Bonus points for me 7 minutes from the job! Owner was here, very nice and pleasant. read more

The best thing I had here was the Mexican Coke. That should tell you how my experience went. The restaurant itself was clean and service was friendly. The reviews on here make it seem like its so great but its not. My steak quesadilla was so bland it tasted like tortilla thats it. I hate to say it but the quesadilla at taco bell has more flavor. Quesa Loco on Fairbanks is so much better. I wont be returning. read more

Tacos were outstanding. Between two of us we tried five different meats and two different tortillas. All were super tasty. The assortment of toppings is impressive as well. Staff serving us were super friendly and helpful. We will be back when are in the area. read more

I've come to this place three times now and this time I got one of the older ladies that was being so stingy with the portions. Usually I get tacos so it doesn't really show but this time I got a bowl. I asked for rice beans and it was one scoop each the whole bowl wasn't full with all toppings. I was asking for alittle more and she would put pea sized amounts. The food is good just wish she was give me food for the amount I was paying read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Women who work there are kind and quick. Prices are great. What more can you ask for?!

The reviews made me want to try this place. Located in a small blink and you'll miss it strip mall I came on a Friday afternoon. I can't eat much but nothing looked appealing. It all looked as if it had been sitting for hours. I requested chips and Queso and figured if that's good then I'll test and get more. I requested this side order with a side of beef mixed with the Queso. I told the women I didn't mind paying extra just so I could sample the basic-the price of a single taco would have been reasonable. She adviddd me to get the big nacho combo plate. Something I saw was offered , but so was chips & queso do I requested what I thought my stomach could handle. She refused to accommodate my request. This was a to go order & I didn't want my food to get soggy on the way home. She slammed the chips back down and walked away to the back. The customer service is probably why this place is always empty when I drive by daily as well as today. Skip it and go to one of the MANY surrounding Mexican restaurants in the area- total miss read more

Nice small Mexican restaurant. Best way to describe their setup is that it's like a Mexican subway, where you go down the line and build-your-own burrito and Taco with fresh ingredients as you like. Fast turn around and they have basic seating as well. read more

I thought it was overpriced and did not care for the food. To me, the food was lack luster.

Great food; Great Service. Staff was very welcoming and recommended the Quesadilla which was great read more

My husband and I went here for lunch - it was my first time at Jalepeños, and my husband's many-ith time haha. He and his coworkers come here very often and I can see why! We got a bunch of everything today and it was all delicious, especially the chicken tinga nachos. The chips are so crispy and the rest of the ingredients are so fresh! Their red salsa has a good kick to it which is countered well by the perfectly sweet guac. The ladies helping us with our order were wonderful and extremely friendly! I get the hype and will definitely be back with more friends read more

What a gem !!! The most authentic and delicious Mexican food I had in Orlando. The tacos are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT !!! They are street tacos (authentic) which means they are not so big but they are worth it. SO WORTH IT! I ordered 4 tacos and I saw the meats I decided to ask for 2 more and try more options and it didn't disappoint. The staff (mom and daughter) are very sweet, caring and definitely accommodating. Thank you for the best Mexican food experience of my life. Absolutely top notch food! read more

The cashier was nice. From the owner answering previous reviews I can see why this place will continue to only get regulars. I wasn't greeted just looked at when I entered and that made me uncomfortable but some people came in right after me and they were instantly greeted and welcomed. The tacos are small . I only got 1 taco veggie and when I asked the server for more cilantro and onion she said it would e extra charge which blew my mind because there was barely any there to begin with. My total was $3.31and was only given one tortilla which tore . in my opinion it's not worth it but to each there own . read more

Jalapeños Mexican Eats - Veggie taco - Mexican Near Me - Maitland, Florida

What a welcome addition to Maitland! We ordered two tamales, a fiesta bowl with barbacoa, a burrito with carnitas, horchata and a tres leches cake. Which was definitely an over-order for two people but we almost finished the lot! The tamales were the standout in my mind because it's so hard to find a place that makes them in Florida, let along a great version, but these were so tender and soft but still flavorful. If I was being super picky I would say the horchata was a little too sweet and not as cinnamon-y as I prefer but really overall I am thrilled to have such a great Mexican option here finally!! read more

Jalapeños Mexican Eats - Great selection and it's all delicious - Mexican Near Me - Maitland, Florida

Decided to try out Jalapenos Mexican Eats yesterday and I'm very glad I did! I ended up getting a vegetarian burrito, and a luscious cheese quesadilla. I haven't had this much bursting flavor since I lived in Mexico for a few years. Truly authentic flavor. Their chips are also homemade and you can tell the love and passion they put into everything they do. Their pricing is also very affordable, and competitive versus main corpo Tex-Mex chains. Why help buy the CEO of Chipotle buy his kid another Porsche when you you support a passionate local small business that gives you better ingredients / portions / taste / etc for less $$? Overall: very satisfied with the experience and will be coming back for good! 9.8/10 #supportlocalbusinesses read more

I thank god that my curiosity led me into this place. I discovered this place about three weeks ago and I've returned about 3 times since then to get some food! Super well taken care of by the ladies of this establishment & the food is to die for. All protein options are so flavorful (i recommend the barbacoa or the carnitas!), and not to mention the fresh toppings. This place completely blows chipotle out of the water, & I probably won't return to chipotle since I know this exists. Keep this small business thriving & do yourself a favor and visit! I also want to mention that this is my first Yelp review. Jalapeños definitely deserves my first yelp review. read more

Loved the meats and aqua frescas! Do not leave without grabbing a slice of tres leches cake!
