Pros: big portions, great food, reasonable prices I've only gotten take out here, but I absolutely love the enchiladas. The prices are so reasonable. 14 dollars for a huge plate of enchiladas with a generous portion of avocados and pickled onions on top. We got the enchiladas con mole and enchiladas con salsa verde. I'm not usually a huge mole fan, but it's absolutely delicious. And the salsa verde was nice and spicy. Will definitely order again! read more

Driving through the NJ turnpike and took a detour to try this place. So happy that we had! The taquitos were perfectly crisp, the Texican burrito's flavors were spot on, and our server was very attentive. The side salads and vegetables were fresh and the French fries (odd the be a side with a burrito, but we went with it) were perfectly prepared without the grease or sogginess. The two of us sat at the front half-booth which was cozy and fun. Four thumbs up! read more

Jalapeno and Cilantro Grill is a small restaurant that delivers great food for a good price. The restaurant offers Tex Mex inspired breakfast, brunch, and lunch. I had the steak asado taco which was okay but I thought the steak could have been seasoned more. The salsa that comes with it was good and it added heat to the taco. The breakfast burrito was good and I would eat it again. Eggs, chorizo, avocado, pico de gallo, and cheese (I had it without cheese) wrapped in a tortilla was devine. The breakfast potatoes can be taken to the next level with some salt and pepper. I will be visiting again because the food is good and the price is right! read more

Small restaurant, but there is a good amount of seating and the waitstaff is nice. The food is a bit hit or miss, but the hits were really great. The chips in the guac and chips were really perfectly crisp, and the corn tortillas were INCREDIBLE. Slightly sweet and very delicious. The al pastor tacos and chicken fajitas were also hits, really flavorful and tasty. The molcajete (sharable) enchiladas and mole quesadilla were more of a miss, as the meat went a bit too far on the overcooked/hard scale, though the flavor was good. The price was also very good and the sizes generous. Definitely a must visit! read more

Simply the BEST! Breakfast, lunch, dinner (check hours) ... all great! Best service all around and we love the fact they take the time, effort, and money to decorate ( inside and out) for every holiday. They are truly part of the community. Bottom line: Good food, made fresh, and outstanding service. read more

Food was delicious with big portions, service was prompt, and place was very clean (including the bathrooms)! Definitely planning on coming again. read more

Food is outstanding!! And customer service is top notch. Best food around the New Brunswick/ Milltown area

Delicious authentic Mexican food that is much needed in the area. Waitresses were very attentive. Highly recommend.

The green enchilada sauce is phenomenal! Spicy and tangy, well balanced, would eat it any day of the week!

We love this place and visit often for brunch. Everything I have ever tried has been fresh and delicious. Wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Wonderful family owned business at a great price. read more

On a whim I decided to have family dinner here yesterday and boy was I happy about that decision. This place is amazing! When I pulled up, I was surprised it was right next door to Milltown ice cream factory (which we also love). Apparently it had been open for a few months already but I guess we just didn't notice. It shares the same parking lot. The food was outstanding. I was a little skeptical about how authentic or good the Mexican food would be when I saw the breakfast all day menu. Well the food was A+. The mixed fajita had delicious shrimp, chicken and beef, tasty sweet green and red peppers. It came out in a sizzling plate accompanied by a small side of sour cream, guacamole and chipotle sauce and some tasty tortilla bread. We ordered a side of pico de gallo to enhance things even more. My favorite place in NJ for fajitas was Mis Amigos in Dunellen and after relocating we haven't found a place as good... Until now. The fajita portion size was awesome and the price was incredible - $14. Flavor was delicious but different from Mis Amigos. I didn't taste as much cumin and it was less saucy at Jalapeno grill. Ingredients were super fresh though and they really shined. Beef was tasty but some pieces slightly chewy. Chicken was super tender though. We also had the asada quesadilla and that was also great! Fresh mango salsa enhanced the delicious beefy cheesy flavor. It came with some great french fries too. Beef tacos were pretty good too though the other 2 dishes are a hard act to follow. It came with amazing salsa sauce. The final price was incredible. $44 including tax and tip to feed the 3 of us with leftovers to spare. This place is one of my new favorite restaurants. Milltown is really a hub of good eats in the east Brunswick area. read more

This was my first time checking this place out. I work around the area so it was near by, I was able to dine in and get back to work in 45 minutes. I ordered the taquitos which came with 4 taquitos and salsa verde. The salad around it is a nice added touch. I will say the chicken was a bit dry when I bit into it but the salsa helped. The staff is so nice and will make sure you have everything you need. It was around 1pm on a Tuesday so it was calm. Will definitely check another dish out soon. read more

Just opened! This new Tex-Mex fusion restaurant occupies the spot used to be Bites & Bowls, right next to the Milltown Ice Cream Depot on the main street cutting through Milltown. Unfortunately we passed by this right after lunch, so we didn't get to enjoy the main menu, but we still want to try something! What's left to do? So we pick each one of the tacos available on the menu and brought home this sampler at about $3 each. Not a bad decision at all.... Each of the tacos are not only fresh but overloaded with flavorful and fresh meat -- land-based and sea-based alike -- with huge chunks of avocadoes and sweet pineapple accentuating each yummy bite. The dishes are reasonably priced and the quality and quantity of the food is amazing. On a Saturday around 1pm, the place is bustling with no empty table in sight. Service comes with a smile. All the dishes delivered to the tables while we're waiting look so enticing and have noticeably fulfilling portions. Interior is modestly contemporary, clean and timely (St. Patrick's Day decor everywhere in preparation for next week). Large parking lot in the back adjacent to a small park with benches and walkway by the Mill Pond. Not sure if there's a menu online yet, and given they just opened, they're still self-printed (photos included). We will come again to try other dishes for sure. read more

Local gem. Great food. Great staff. Great price point. Had the chaquilies. Awesome! Busy place but not overcrowded.

It is a bit of a small place, but it was decorated nicely for the fall. The ambience is very nice and I enjoyed it. I got a chicken quesadilla and my friend got the tacos. He recommended this place to me and the tacos tasted amazing! The quesadilla was good and had guacamole and sour cream. For the quesadilla, it was pretty good. The guacamole didn't taste fresh, but was okay to me. Overall, a solid Mexican place to go to in Milltown. read more

When I order a veggie omelette I expect the usual diced veggies wrapped in egg, but here I had a meal with enormous portobello mushrooms, green peppers, etc. Really special. The potatoes were nicely prepared and the toast was crispy just the way I like it. Did I mention the little side salad with wonderful dressing? Service with a smile! Very well kept, quiet and pleasant. Large tables to sit and enjoy or even get a little work done. Inexpensive. Definitely a keeper. read more

My boyfriend and I just tried this place today and I got an order of chicken tostadas (it came with 3) and the price was only $9 and the portions were huge! You get 3 big tostadas all for $9. My boyfriend got 3 al pastor tacos and he says they were amazing. I believe that it was around $9 for the 3 tacos which is a good deal. We got chips and guacamole also and the positions were again, huge! Definitely will be coming back here. read more

Food and service are great with generous portions.....BUT...one complaint...no free refills on coffee? That should be a given...

Excellent food and great service . Been there twice .very friendly and clean and the price was nice

Love that they have breakfast all day. Enchiladas are delicious. Spicy in a good way. The red (mole) version is rich and smoky. The Hola Combo is an abundant plate with tons of veggies to offset your guilt over the salami and chorizo! I get it with poached eggs--perfecto! The Super burrito is a favorite too. The guacamole is delicious. Everything is super fresh and they pay attention to detail. The prices are super reasonable. I only wish they were open for dinner more than just on the weekend. Happy to have this new joint in the neighborhood! read more

This place is a 10 out of 10!!! The food, the service the cleanliness all . The green enchiladas are spicy and delicious. The ice cream and waffles my son devoured before I could even get a bite! The fajitas and chicken waffles are next on my list they look phenomenal. So happy to have this place right in town. read more

What a great find in Milltown! This place is hands down fantastic!!!! The chicken and veggie quesadillas were delicious and we asked for well done French fries which were possibly the best I've ever had! The service is terrific, very accommodating, and they're even growing their own fresh tomatoes behind the building. This is an unassuming 5 star place that we highly recommend. read more

Wow. They raised their prices by 30%. Chicken fajitas that were $11 are not $13.95. That is a huge almost 30% price increase. Did they think we wouldn't notice? read more

So glad to have come across this place!! I have been here twice so far and gotten take out once. The staff are super friendly and greet everyone as you walk in, but the aromas of the food greet you as you walk up to the building. They have a breakfast menu in addition to the lunch/dinner menu and I have happily eaten from both. The portions are generous and for what you get, the prices are amazing. Everything I have had so far tasted amazing, and the food is very fresh. The amount of avocado on every order was fantastic and there is not an upcharge for it. The only complaint I can muster up is that the location is a little small, and since the food is so good, there may be a little wait if you come at a busy time. But that is really the only thing, and the food is definitely worth the wait. I can say that for takeout, the food traveled well and was still a great temperature when I got home. Will be back a bunch of times, and will try to remember to take photos next time! read more

Originally posted on NextDoor: My husband and I went to a new little restaurant called Jalapeño and Cilantro Grill on South Main Street in Milltown. It's located right next to the Ice Cream Depot. They serve Mexican and American Food. Great prices and the food was excellent. Specializing also in breakfast. The prices are so reasonable and the food is so fresh. Highly recommend it. I had the chicken enchilada with green sauce and my husband had a chicken quesadilla. Not a fancy restaurant, just a quaint little place to share a good meal or do takeout, and the people who work there are super nice! read more
