My favorite thing about this margate hole in the wall is how fresh the food is! They get busy and turn over is high so you can count on the freshest of produce. Another plus is how quickly they serve you. Even when busy they keep the line moving quickly as they work assembly line style. And the staff members are really nice. A few have them have been there for awhile and they are super pleasant. My usual order is the tuna Niçoise salad. Love it! The Greek salad is another one of my favorites. If salad isn't your thing though they have solid Mexican fare. The burrito bowls and tacos are really yummy. Just beware the summer parking situation. It can be tough to grab a spot near the place during peak season. Otherwise a great choice if you need a quick meal. read more

Jalapenos & Salads Co. - Greek Salad added chickpeas. Fresh ingredients and absolutely delicious!!! - Salad Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

The best salad restaurant at the Shore! The salads are fresh and large so no need to order a large salad because the small portion is difficult to finish! They even deliver so what more can you ask for and there's a large variety to choose from. read more

Very reliable place for salads sandwiches and smoothies. Quick service and variety of options . Great food when you are at the beach or need a healthy meal . read more

For someplace you might consider fast food. This is really good, tasty and fresh. You can do tacos, quesadillas, soup, rice, and beans and more. Than there are the great salads. And on top of that, the staff there is always so nice. I cannot eat at a fancy restaurant every night here at the shore, but I always want something good and this is one of my go tos. read more

I eat here regularly while in Margate and typically order the gyro, which is rather good. Of course, it's not the epitome of gourmet, but that's not really the point of this establishment. It's reasonably good food for a grab-and-go on the way to the beach. The gentlemen behind the counter are friendly and always greet me when I arrive. Unfortunately, the prices are up somewhat, but compared to nearby options, I still think this is a solid choice. Perhaps most importantly, the experience is consistent! read more

Pricey always a good meal always get the burrito bowl. The staff is super friendly. Would Matt recommend for lunch

The most tasteless food I've ever had. Wraps are 1/2 the size as pictured when you walk in. Everything is from a can. Food leaves a chalky aftertaste. Awful. read more

Great lunch at Jalapeños! The Oriental chicken salad was awesome as was the Greek salad. The portions were plentiful and so fresh. Service was great. Lots of options ! We will definitely be back!!! read more

It's been a year since we've been back! Not much has changed... great salads and wraps! Fresh ingredients, good staff makes it a nice place!

In this expensive town the place is a relative value. However, the other side of that value is that it just really wasn't that tasty. Nachos were just generic round chips with food service melted cheese in a cup or they could pour on it for you. Not cheese melted over nice chips. Not sure they even have a broiler or anything like that anyway. Tasted like something that you would get at a stadium. We had ground beef on it which again had little flavor. The food did however look fresh and if I ever went back I'd try a salad. read more

Tried it out since we have friends that rave about their salads. We all ordered burritos and they were sub par. Every ingredient was bland. I also got a smoothie which was good, otherwise this would have been a two star review. read more

Went here for lunch with the special needs student I work with. Place is clean and very nicely set up. The man begins the counter greeter us with a smile and hello!! Others working there for super sweet, helpful and made two great dishes. This will be our 'go to' place for salads in the area!!! read more

Jalapenos & Salads Co. - the interior of a restaurant - Salad Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

So glad I found this salad place through yelp! My boyfriend and I spent the weekend in AC and figured we would find a salad place nearby. We decided to take the 15 minute drive from the AC Boardwalk to come to this gem. Jalapenos & Salads Co. is located on a busy main road of a cute small beach town down the road from AC. We found street parking easily. Upon entering, it was obvious many of the customers were locals or frequent visitors. The menu had a lot to offer from tacos, burritos, and salads -- Mexican styled salads as well as your basic options (or if you're feeling adventurous you can build your own). My boyfriend and I tried the On the Boarder Salad and Nacho Grande Salad. I enjoyed both. They had really great flavors that were expected from the listed ingredients. The ingredients tasted so fresh and delicious. Not your typical salad works, but I enjoyed this place so much more. It had a family-owned vibe to it that made it nice to sit back and enjoy. Better yet, if you take your receipt to the dessert place next door you get a discount on frozen yogurt.. the perfect dessert. read more

came by for a quick lunch and had an OK meal! we got the jalapeno burrito and waldorf salad. the chicken in the jalapeno burrito had a lot of juices so it made the wrap a bit soggy and to be honest, not a huge fan of the quality of chicken. the salad on the other hand was delicious and a good size! read more

Pricing has gone way up and quality has gone way down. Okay in a pinch but would recommend going elsewhere.

Quick Mexican flare for wraps and salads. Salad portions are generous. Soups are good and priced conservatively. Good for all ages ... staff was very nice and accommodating. read more

Jalapenos is perfect for easy + healthy, grab-and-go food down the shore. The menu has tacos, burritos, wraps, and salads - as well as the opportunity to create your own. I always create my own salad. The ingredients are fresh! I like adding the spicy chicken for a little extra kick. The regular size salad is pretty big, and the $10 price is expected. Would love it if they could chop their salads though! read more

I walked in for the first time today after passing Jalapenos many times. The ingredients didn't all look fresh but I went against my better judgement and ordered a salad. Big mistake-- two bites in and I find a dead bug in my salad. So gross! Will not be returning read more

Great food and smoothies. Not crazy over priced like most shore spots. Great staff too, they actually double charged me for my food and when I came back a few days later after realizing it they apologized and gave me a free meal cause I didnt have my receipt. They didn't have to do that, could have just said tough luck, so that was pretty cool of them. Hoping they jump on the vegan meat bandwagon like a lot of other places like this so I can bring vegan/veg friends. The fish tacos are great if you're pescatarian. read more

I love this place! I'd enjoyed the salads here from the day it opened. But when I started losing weight a little over a year ago, I took my salad eating to a whole new level. Over the past year, I've lost 92 pounds. Part of my success has been getting salads from here about three to five times every week. The salad ingredients are incredibly fresh. Of the literally hundreds of salads I've had here, I've NEVER had anything less than the freshest food possible. NEVER a brown or wilted piece of lettuce or spinach, and so on. The staff are very friendly. I know them by name, they know me by name and they know my usual order, and I'm far from the only customer who can say this. Having access to fresh and yummy salads has helped me lose so much weight without sacrificing flavor and enjoyment. If you enjoy spicy foods but want to cut out some of the calories, here's my prescription: South of the Border, leave off the cheese and black olives and add lots of jalapeño slices. The avocado ranch dressing, which I can't find in stores, has been a decadent pleasure. If you like a place like Saladworks, then you'll like Jalapeños & Salads in Margate. read more

Well... the guy who was putting together my order was so rude and pushing home along. I had the build a salad. Going along the way. He was arrogant and rushing me all in a matter of a minute. The girl at the cash register was nice. Salad is good considering I put stuff together under pressure. To me.. customer service is everything. Unfortunately, not here. Will try somewhere else instead read more

Like a quality, local SaladWorks with good sandwiches to go along with it. I have only dined there once, but loved the salad - did the make-your-own. Lots of choices and they get mad props from me for re-making my daughter's sandwich when it came with a topping that was not on the menu and to which she is allergic. I offered to pay for the re-make and the employee could not have been nicer or accommodating. He just gave us another. Classy. Looking forward to another salad here. read more

There's no fancy creative type of salad here it's just your typical salad bar but the salad is always fresh and so are the toppings I always enjoy them .. They are very filling as well they have a lot of different dressing options which I like.. If you ask my fiancé she would say it's the best salad place in the world hahha but I'm not so sure about that maybe I just ate too many and it's Played out lol .. As for the Mexican food options it's crap !!! just your typical tex mex Americanized take on mexican food .. Not enjoyable to me what's so ever .. Other than all of that it's a cute place that's really clean and the staff was extremely friendly read more

One of our favorite to go restaurants down the shore. It's quick and easy if you're looking for a fast dinner to take out. The salads are always fresh, and they are huge! You definitely get plenty of salad for good prices. They have tons of toppings to choose from for the make your own salads. They also have different meats to choose from as well - my favorite is the spicy chicken, it's not really that spicy and has much more flavor than the plain chicken. Shout out to Ivan who works behind the counter and is very friendly. He always recognizes my Mom and is quick to get started on our salads. You also get four pieces of pita on the side and can choose from wheat or white pita (I like the wheat). The pita is served warm. read more

I love Jalapenos. My parents have a place in Margate, so whenever I am down the shore, I HAVE to get my Jalapenos! My absolute go to is either a salad or a wrap. Usually a salad and they have a lot of options as well as a build your own. I pretty much always do the "build your own" just because I like certain flavor combinations and can add or remove things as I wish. The salad and veggies and other toppings are always super fresh and full of flavor! I have never once had a bad piece of lettuce in my salad, and I LOVE their avocado ranch dressing! Plus, the salad also comes with warm Pita...delicious! You can get wraps with a jalapeno, whole wheat, spinach, or plain wrap, and they have tons of options for what you can order. Again, I like to build my own because I basically have my flavor combos here down to a science, but I can always go for their chicken Caesar option; its a classic! You always get a lot of food for your money here. The salads are pretty big and I can usually either share it with someone or have it as 2 light meals. A few times I have gotten a quesadilla or nachos, and they are good. Not greasy at all and really flavorful. Their smoothies are also fantastic. On a hot day, a smoothie or parfait is a nice treat. Staff is always friendly and they cater too! read more

Went after my work out to fill up on some grub and grab a protein shake. Really nice and clean compared to the one in EHT. I got a burrito bowl and is always shocked when they say they don't have black beans (I love black beans). All in all it's priced right and the food is FRESHER than the one in EHT. Protein shake tasted great. You have to ask them to put in more fruit than the sugary juice the fruits sit in. I'll be coming back! read more

Jalapenos & Salads Co. - Really good! Make sure you get the chipotle ranch sauce! On the side or your good will drown in it. - Salad Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

I ordered a build your own salad and it was pretty good, and you could definitely tell that the ingredients were very fresh. It is pretty much a salad works but has tons of smoothies and smoothie bowls as well. The people who waited on me were very nice and informative. I was even told that all of their rice is made with chicken and there were not many vegan or vegetarian options like I thought there would be, other than getting a salad. Everything in the place is pretty cheap for the portion sizes and the meals other than the salads which are about $10 (so a little pricey). I would definitely go back because the ingredients in my salad were very fresh. read more

this is my absolute favorite place to get a custom salad. They give huge portions and let you choose unlimited toppings at no extra charge. Avocado is the only thing that's an extra charge but they always give you a ton and it's always fresh so it's definitely worth it. Very friendly staff also. One of my favorite places in margate read more

I wish I can give them zero Stars, food has a little bug in it, absolutely disgusting, fruit not fresh, arrived not sealed no utensils, spoke to the manager on the phone and he said it's not my fault, horrible place... stay away read more

Simple food... Tacos, taco or Greek salad, good mango lemonade. Outdoor seating was lovely with the hanging petunia baskets on Ventnor. A perfect finale to a few hours in Margate after seeing Lucy. read more

Great local eatery for fresh salads. Everything is made to order so you can be pretty creative. Outside seating is nice in the summer. Best thing about this place is there are healthy options and you can skip the dressing and actually taste your salad. read more

WORST Mexican experience in the area. Boring food, HORRIBLE staff (my friends meal was dropped on the floor). Will NEVER return!

As "fast food" (casual dining?) goes, it is good food and quick for a fair price. Staff was nice. Place was clean.

I live and work nearby, so I'm in here pretty frequently for lunch and dinner. It's a salad place with some mexican food- nothing very heavy. The staff is awesome- I've never had anything made wrong and nobody's ever been rude to me. All of the ingredients are fresh and the food is delicious (not to mention inexpensive!) My favorites are the oriental salad and the south of the border salad, as well as the chicken burrito- I recommend chicken over beef, if only because the beef makes it sort of mushy. read more

Best salad on the island. Fresh veggies, great selection, smoothies, wraps, tex-mex, etc. friendly staff, reasonable prices. Can't go wrong here. read more

I was a bit bummed out by my experience here. I came here on the recommendation of a friend who has family with a place in Margate to grab some lunch. My salad was very small for the price, even though I ordered the regular size. The person behind the counter forgot to put several of the items which were supposed to be on the salad in it and I had to go up and have it fixed. Don't think I will be back.... read more

This is probably my favorite place to grab something quick to eat after coming right off the beach! Everything from the tacos to burrito bowls to salads are always so fresh! I come here at least once a week and have never been disappointed! Staff is always friendly and tip: CHIPOTLE RANCH DRESSING IS A GO TO!!!! read more

One of the only quality salads places in the area. There are limited choices vegetable wise but being the only place in the area to get custom made salads its an a-ok choice. read more

A good salad place with some Mexican food thrown in. Excellent selection of salads and salad makings. The only disappointment is that for a place called Jalopenos that they would have a variety of fresh hot peppers instead of just pickled. read more
