Not even for a quick bite of Mexico ! I rather go to dell taco read more

Our favorite place for Mexican food. I recently ordered takeout from Jalapeños Mexican Food in Sparks, and it was fantastic! The food was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor even after the short drive home. I got the chicken flautas and crispy chicken tacos, and both were amazing. The flautas were perfectly golden and crispy, stuffed with tender, flavorful chicken. They came with a delicious dipping sauce that added just the right touch of zest. The crispy chicken tacos were just as impressive--light, crunchy shells filled with juicy, well-seasoned chicken, topped with fresh lettuce, cheese, and a hint of their house-made salsa. Even as takeout, the quality was top-notch. Everything was well-packaged, ensuring the food stayed crispy and didn't get soggy. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality. If you're looking for a quick and delicious Mexican takeout option in Sparks, Jalapeños Mexican Food is a must-try. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

This is a pretty small venue with delicious food. I can see why it is a local favorite! Our food came out hot and fresh. The special burrito they had for a limited time did take a while to come out but it has a lot of ingredients, so I can see why. The chicken Flautas were not overcooked. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce really added a wonderful touch. No margaritas, but they do have some bottled beers. The only improvements I would suggest is the consistency of the salsa. The flavor was great but it was pretty watery, and for someone who tends to accidentally make messes.. it wasn't ideal lol. Also... many customers came in to pick up orders instead of dine in, which is what I wished we would have done. It was so cold outside and every time someone walked in/out, the temperature would drop drastically. We were freezing! Overall, we will be back! read more

It was only 11am and we walked into a clean, busy little restaurant. We were greeted by the young man who would be taking our order as he served food to another customer. He was so polite. We ordered carne asada nacho, a carne Asada chimichanga and a crunchy chicken taco. The carne asada was chopped and tender, and the chimichanga was very crisp, it was cooked perfectly. The only think I would have done is ordered the nachos with the red sauce on the side. It was a little much, but my husband loved it anyways. Can't wait to go back and try breakfast, they make their oown chorizo. Thank you for a great meal read more

Ordered #4 with rice and beans & a side of Ceviche. The flautas were super good as always, no complaints. Cost for the flautas was $14.95. The photo attached is the "ceviche". The flavor was plain just had a bunch of veggies added. And the cost was $4.95 for that portion too. read more

What made this place so great was the service provided. The gentleman at the counter was attentive, friendly, kind, and patient. He answered our questions about the menu and even came by after our meal arrived to see if we needed anything else. Fyi you order your meal at the counter then they bring it to you when it's ready so it is not considered a "server service restaurant" but they give you quality care similar to one! I ordered an alacarte taco and tostado with chicken. It came with sour cream and salsa on the side. The chicken was flavorful and both items were filling. This is a great place for a quick meal or a full meal. One of my go to Mexican food places. Would recommend and return to again! read more

Two separate uber drivers told me this was the best Mexican food in the Reno area. Well, I can comment on this. But I did swing in to try a quesadilla which was phenomenal. Green sauce excellent and place was clean. Will be back to dive deeper read more

My husband called in for an order. Ww ordered flautas. He asked that all toppings to set to the side. When he picked them up he checked them and sure enough they had put the toppings on. Prior to them being ready, he paid for the order. He said this isn't what I ordered. He asked that they remake them and put no toppings. The girl at the cashier checked with someone in the kitchen. They told her no, they wouldn't remake them. He explained that they didn't make them how he wanted no toppings especially the sauce on top. After they argued he decided they weren't worth any more arguments over the matter. He shoved the entire order back to her and walked out. He paid over $12 for them. Apparently they have done this before. Before you pay for your order, check to make sure it's what you wanted. No customer service at all. We won't be back. read more

2/10 I'll never give them another shot after tonight's dinner. At some point, they decided to go with kebab style shaved meats for their asada and carnitas and it's crap. What an insult; we spent ~$30 on a meal that should have been $15 and it was insultingly terrible. Their hot "salsa" tasted like it was brewed in a truckstop toilet. They simply will not get another chance after tonight's failure. I'll never go there again. We used to love this place from say 2010-2015 but they've gotten terrible especially given the prices. read more

I was honestly excited to find Jalapeno's food .. I've been wanting to try the food, but the locations are a distance from my area. Searching thru Yelp and scanning the menu.

Small little hideaway in the shopping center. A very friendly staff to assist you with questions along with excellent cooks. They have a big variety of meats and fish to customize whatever you're ordering. We've had tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, etc. convenient parking, food served quickly - hot and fresh. Don't forget the salsas! read more

I love love love their taquitos and the chilaquiles here! The perfect consistency of crunch and red sauce isn't too spicy. They have Tacos, burritos, and a kid's menu. You can't go wrong ordering for dine-in or take-out. Service has always been good. In the several dozen times my family and I have been here only one visit sticks out to me that we left there dissatisfied with service and that server is no longer there. Decent dining area for the space, but wish they cleaned and disinfected the tables before having to ask at times. I get it; you guys get very busy. I think that may be my only complaint. read more

The food is good, tasty, and not overly priced. Came here for a quick bite, ordered bean and cheese burritos, and Carne Asada tacos. They are generous with their portions. The service was friendly and quick. The restaurant seating is pretty basic and clean, not anything special, but sufficient. Great spot to go for very decent quick meal, without all the fancy prices. read more

Came in here on my way to buy cat food at PetSmart, walked in ordered 10 Al Pastor tacos, walked out got the cat food and went back picked up food and ate them at home. Seasoning was once again on point and my son agreed. Love the fact I can go in make an order and get tacos at a great price so conveniently. Will be back read more

Stopped in on black Friday to get a bite between shopping and ordered some asada fries and a coke. It was fairly busy, so understanding that service would take a bit of time. When I received my order, I took a few bites and then realized there was absolutely no carne asada in my fries. When I brought this up to the counter, they chuckled and said they would make me a new order. Once I did receive the new batch, everything was ok. Wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst asada fries either. I've been here a few times, and unfortunately, it's always just been ok. Nothing has been great. Would be 3 stars if made right the first time. read more

First time back since Covid and I'm really happy that the food has not changed. It's as delicious as we remember. Only the prices have changed. Up quite a bit. On my a la carte Chili Rellano, I requested the same salsa they top the Huevos Rancheros with. And I paid the $1.50 more for EXTRA salsa. It's like heated pico. Love it. Love the new register system that lets us see exactly how they type in our order. Excellent system. I'm over the moon that they have FLAN again. It's excellent flan. It is located in the bottom of the drink cooler. Definitely worth splurging on. LOVE IT!!! If you find this review useful please vote! read more

Possibly the best value in town! I've never been inside and always order through DoorDash, but the food is always delicious and they prepare and pack it in a way to ensure it travels well. I can't yet speak for the service or ambiance but they are fast when ordering to go! Our favorites to order are the smothered burritos and the flautas! read more

I don't know why it took us so long to return to this place. The interior is very simple, not fancy. You order at the register, and they bring your plates to your table. I had two very tasty shrimp tacos. They are filled with chopped tomato, lettuce, onion, and cilantro. Did I mention that I love cilantro? My SO had two crispy chicken tacos with rice and beans. Of course he added some Tapatio sauce at the table. He said they were very good. I took a few bites of the rice and beans. Pretty good. The bill was just over $20, an excellent price. We will be eating here more often. read more

We like to try as many Mexican joints as we can. So this one was on our list. You order at the counter, there are a ton of things on the menu. There is bottled beer available in the cooler with the bottle opener on the wall next to the cooler. No margaritas and no bar. Hubby got the Wet Chicken Burrito. It was huge and he ate half of it with a side of rice and beans, we brought the rest home. He said it was tasty, good for take out so we can have our favorite beers with dinner. I got the pork carnitas plate with flour tortillas. This is what cause the 3 stars, the pork was sliced and fried I guess, and it was very dry. Not very tasty at all. Hubby said it tasted like bacon. The rice and beans are good. The guac and chips were good. All in all, an acceptable place for eating a quick meal, but nothing we'd go out of our way for again. read more

Food is very delicious! I always get the flautas. My husband likes to get the chimichangas. Previous times I've had a torta and a few tacos. They've all been full of flavor. The customer service is okay. They bring out the food to you in a timely manner. I feel like they're not good at greeting when someone enters. First impressions are always important. The interior is small, cute, and clean. They have about 10 or 12 tables. I'd recommend coming here. Their menu is nicely priced as well. read more

Jalapeños is off of Los Altos in the same parking lot as Mor furniture and Petsmart. When you come in you pay and then they serve you at your table once the food is ready.

My server was a younger kid and he was very sweet and made sure I enjoyed my meal. read more

This place used to have a salsa bar and had ok food. It's convenient to my neighborhood and that's the only reason we would go there. They are now stingy with their salsa and their menu prices are way too high for what you get. So when you dine in they bring you bottle of salsa to use as much as you'd like. When you get it to go they give you these little tiny cups of salsa that aren't even filled up all the way. They only give like 2 per order and look at you sideways when you ask for more. It's just watered down salsa and has a minimal cost. It's not fresh pico de gallo or anything like that. I've had it with this place. I got two things and it came to $24. read more

Quick and good food. Pretty affordable, my husband likes street tacos and they are $2.69 each here, not a great price, but cheaper than most places. The food isn't a amazing, but it's good and the price and speed make it a good place to stop when you have a craving for Mexican food. The restaurant is typically clean and has good customer service. I'd recommend it to anyone in the neighborhood. read more

My friend and I had been wanting to try them for a long time. We thought we'd go after the lunch rush to avoid waiting so long. I've been apprehensive after reading so many poor reviews. When we opened the door and walked in almost every table that was empty hadn't been cleared. The few seats that were occupied left us no room to sit. I'm guessing a lot of customers just left at one time and the employees didn't get out to clean the tables. It made us lose our appetites. We were so turned off that we left and went searching for another restaurant. Sounds like prices have increased drastically. Not planning on trying it again. A lot of improvements certainly need to be made here.. Very disappointing! read more

Bro people are taking shots at this place saying dumb stuff like, "I didn't like that there was lettuce in my burrito" like okay????? That's a preference not a problem with the quality. I came by cause I could actually smell how good it was from my car. Everyone talking about bad service seems to mention some girl working there but there was a nice dude at the front who helped me order, I asked him what he liked and I got that. I was nice to him and he was nice to me. Great service. I literally destroyed what I got. Taquitos and the #4 meal. My food was literally so flavorful and delicious, it's a bit of a drive but I'm coming back cause this was awesome. I'm gonna finish the rest in like an hour. Their horchata was also really refreshing. Loved this place, everyone who was talking about this place being mid can eat my shorts cause you don't deserve this food. read more
