    Chicharron & guacamole
    Donna F.

    Came for their Taco Tuesday special! Was seated very quickly & noticed how busy it was for dining in, at the bar and people picking up to-go orders. I couldn't decide on how many tacos to order so I went with 6, 3 chicken & 3 steak. I should've stuck with 4...I ended up taking my leftovers home. Loved the salsa bar, I think there were at least four different choices. I chose the green and red chipotle salsas. The chicharron/guacamole appetizer was perfect for our group as well. Big pieces of pork! We definitely will return!

    I had been hearing about Jalapeños for years but never got around to trying it. Since I was hungry and wanted to grab something to eat before running errands, I finally decided to stop in. When you walk in, you seat yourself and a server brings you a menu. My waiter was really friendly and welcoming. He checked on me right away, asked if I knew what I wanted to order, and brought out water and chips. The customer service throughout my visit was excellent. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with TVs all around, a full bar, and outdoor seating. I chose a corner table where I could watch one of the soccer games on TV, which made for a relaxing lunch. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. The salsa had nice flavor without being overly spicy. I ordered the steak quesadilla plate, which came with refried beans, Spanish rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, and lettuce. My food arrived in about 10-15 minutes. The best thing on the plate was the refried beans. They were easily my favorite part of the meal. They were flavorful, creamy. The Spanish rice was also tasty. The pico de gallo was served over shredded lettuce, which was fine, although I would have preferred it on the side. The sour cream came in a small cup, which wasn't my favorite, i'm not sure if it was buttery sour cream, but it just didn't taste right. The guacamole might've been my second favorite thing on the plate.!! The steak quesadilla itself was good, but it didn't quite wow me like a quesadilla usually does. It was generously filled with steak, but I wish it had more cheese. I like my quesadillas to have a perfect balance of melted cheese and meat, and this one leaned much heavier on the steak. Even so, the steak had good flavor, and I still enjoyed the meal overall. The price was reasonable too. I believe everything came to just under $20, which felt like a good value. Before I left, they gave me a piece of candy with the receipt, which was a small but thoughtful touch that I appreciated. As I was walking out, I noticed they have different daily specials posted outside. I hadn't seen them before coming in, so now I definitely have another reason to come back and try something different. Overall, I had a great first experience. The friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, good value, and delicious refried beans made this an enjoyable visit. I'll definitely be back to check out those daily specials.

    I was returning home from a work trip and I wanted something good and freshly cooked . We were headed to a Chinese restaurant in the same plaza where this is located and decided to go here instead( my husband loves Mexican food.) Upon entering, there's a fuel smell in the air which was a little unnerving but I also thought that it might be the type of fuel used to cook because it reminded of going into establishments at home. Anyway, Plenty of servers and smiling faces. Food: we ordered bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers as an appetizer. They were raw. Literally cold raw bacon that was charred on one side. Honestly, we were ready to go.... in my mind but we were exhausted and hungry. They took the plate and reworked the contents. Moving on. My husband had a burrito and I had the whole fried fish. I was happy with the fish. Condiments are everything and there's was ok ( and they charged for every drop of salsa $1.50 for the 1oz cup.) Pleasant folks though...

    OMG!!! You need to stop in this amazing establishment, it was so great!!!! I have to say, this is the prettiest Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to. From the legit embroidery on the bar stools with the Jalapeño logo, to the hospitality and ambiance, and finally the culinary magic. Definitely and must stop experience. Once you walk in, it already looks like a fancy Mexican restaurant. It has Hispanic memorabilia wall to wall of all the famous people in show business. The colors inside were very inviting and every table was well kept. I assumed it would be a Mexican fusion of some sort but was happily corrected when I saw how authentic our meal was. We sat at the bar and were served by Jorge and Nicho. We watched Nicho go to work with his mixology showmanship and his customer charm was epic. His service was highly entertaining and put a smile on our faces. I ordered the Molcajete and my husband ordered the Torre. My meal came in a heart-shaped molcajete still boiling from the caldron of food. The Torre was so beautiful and statuesque, definitely a must try. I honestly couldn't finish my meal, it was so much food. You get so much more than you expect. I couldn't wait to meet Chef Antonio (at least that's what I'm going to call him next time I go back) he does amazing work. If you can't make it to the bar, grab a table and Fiama or Bellanira will be glad to serve you. Great food and great vibes. Stop in and bring the family.

    I've only had the tacos here during taco Tuesday which are $1 for the basic meats. I've had the carnitas, steak, and al pastor, and they do not disappoint. You can get the $1 tacos to go during taco Tuesday, which I prefer since dining in is so busy during taco Tuesday. The restaurant is quite large and includes a self serve salsa bar. I like the toppings that are circled in the image I posted. For $1, the street tacos are a great price with a good amount of meat and double tortilla.

    Carnitas again Everything tasty and fresh!!!!

    I've eaten at the restaurant over many years through several incarnations. It used to be our go to Mexican restaurant but our last two post Covid visits were very disappointing. As a result we had not eaten there in a couple of years . After a kitchen disaster we decided to go out and give Jalapeños another chance. The restaurant was extremely full and people seemed to be really enjoying their food . We both ordered the super burrito wet with carne asada as the meat . They were cold and lacked seasoning. I sent my first burrito back because it was so cold. They appear to have an excellent attentive wait staff but sorry our food sucked. It will be along time before I go back

    The food was great but the customer service lacked a lot! We only got one rounds of drinks I wanted a few more drinks and no one in sight to come to our table with all the people I seen walking around. I haven't left the house it was my first outing after having a baby. Not super excited for this place as I was in the past. I didn't really enjoy this experience. Just great for ONE DRINK and good food...then leave. Also the customer service lacked so bad this review started at at least 3 stars now it was updated to 1 due to how long they came for me to pay my bill.

    Vuelve a la Vida
    Erick L.

    Came here for a Vuelve a la Vida, a Seafood Cocktail with Shrimp, Octopus, Oysters and Ceviche, which was very good. Just not as good as El Tosoro Mazatlan. Jalapenos however is a nice restaurant with a full bar. The restaurant was full and lively. Service was friendly.

    Their new weekly special sign, which is how I found out that they raise their prices for their specials.

    I had a strong craving for a burrito, which prompted me to visit my local Taqueria, Jalapeños restaurant. Although I typically frequent this establishment on Tuesdays when they offer discounted tacos, I acknowledge that inflation has led to a price increase, with tacos now costing $1.25 on Taco Tuesdays. On this particular evening, I arrived at approximately 5:30 PM to a clean and tastefully decorated establishment and was pleased to find only one person ahead of me in line, resulting in a minimal wait time. I opted for the super burrito and selected Carnitas as my preferred meat option. The burrito was generously sized and packed with Spanish rice, pinto beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and Carnitas. Although this was not the worst Carnitas super burrito I have ever had, it unfortunately fell short of my expectations, lacking flavor. The meat itself was surprisingly flavorless, despite being juicy and perfectly shredded, reminiscent of boiled meat devoid of salt, pepper, or spices. I appreciated that the guacamole and sour cream were mixed within the burrito, rather than being presented in large globs, which I find unappealing. Upon tasting each component separately, I was disappointed to find that everything, not just the Carnitas, lacked flavor. I had anticipated a dish with a moderate level of spice. This burrito is something that I would feel comfortable feeding to a young child, without having any fear that they would think it's too spicy. Along with my order, I received a complimentary side of chips and a small container of salsa. The salsa was green in color and featured chunks of what appeared to be tomatillo. The salsa was mild, with a pronounced lime flavor. Maybe it was an off night; I'm not sure, but I will not let this experience turn me away from revisiting Jalapeños due to the fact that I enjoy their $1.25 taco Tuesdays. I will give them another chance on a later date to see if my burrito experience is the same. For this visit and this visit only I will give them a three star review due to lack of flavor.

    5 carne asada tacos

    This review is specifically for their taco Tuesday deal. Staff was attentive and immediately sat our table of 3, right around dinner time. Our waitress was busy but checked on us just the right amount. She apologized that they ran out of chocolate for the hot chocolate, but I got a horchata instead, which was delicious. We got $1 tacos and there's a topping bar so you can flavor it to your hearts content. Free chips when you first sit down, but I believe there's a charge if you ask for a refill. 5 or 6 tacos definitely hit the spot, but you can easily order more. We got the asada and it was a solid choice for a $1 each. The onions and jalapeños were my favorite. Music and lots of conversation around you, but not to the point of being overwhelming. Careful though, you may lose phone connection due to it being a dead spot. However, a solid spot for taco Tuesday deals.

    It is very unfortunate to say that my family and I had a not so great service at this location. It is unfortunate to say because all of the past times we have dined here, it has been great and even getting to communicate with the owner himself. However, we decided to dine here for a Mother's Day dinner. First, they condensed their menu by only having limited items on their menu which I am assuming was to prevent further stress from the incoming wave of people that they were receiving. My family and I had questions over the menu including what certain plates included and covered which our server was nice enough to explain. I had ordered a super burrito. However, I changed my mind when I wanted to order a plate with an enchilada as I usually always order when I come here. However, the only plate offered in this Mother's Day menu that included an enchilada came with a chile relleno. I asked the waitress if it would be possible to order an enchilada but substitute the chile relleno for a carne asada taco. The waitress said that was possible so in the end I ordered one enchilada, one carne asada taco and one shrimp taco (without onion as I am not a fan) and I was curious to try. However, when I received my plate the first time, instead of the enchilada -- I got a chile relleno, my carne asada taco and the shrimp taco which came as a breaded shrimp texture (wasn't expecting that, I thought that it would've been regular shrimp). I also noticed that the tacos had onions on it. Bummer. Normally, I hate returning back food but I knew I had to say something which I felt like I politely did to our waitress. I asked if she could switch the shrimp taco to a regular carne asada taco making it two and for the chile relleno to be the enchilada I originally had ordered in the first place. And of course, for the tacos NOT to have onion on them. A few moments later, another person came up to our table which I am assuming was the manager on duty. He mentioned that the waitress had told him that there were several items off the plate I returned that I did not like and that we had problems with the food. I reinstated that I had originally ordered an enchilada instead of a chile relleno and that my tacos came with onions. All which was stated when I placed the order in the first place. At this point, I was the only one waiting for my plate of food while the rest of my family members were pretty much done with theirs. It was also odd that throughout the rest of our service, we never saw our original waitress ever again which by the way her name was Jazmine. She never even came back to tell us that we would be getting help from other people. There was zero communication. At this point, it was bizarre that we had several different people coming up to us checking in all while I still hadn't received my plate. It was not until my dad spoke to one of the people cleaning off the tables if he knew anything that was going on with our missing plate. The worker quickly apologized, went to the back and returned back within 5 minutes with my new plate of food which is the one pictured below. We were thankful he at least managed to bring the plate of food to the table meanwhile the rest of the staff were somewhere else. It felt like maybe my plate was sitting somewhere unattended. The service was very unusual. As you can also see, the tacos STILL had bits of pieces of onion in it. But I did not want to say anything again that would prolong our dinner service more than it did already. However, at this point I was the only one eating while my family was basically finished. In the end, we got our check and we basically got charged incorrectly which also prolonged our service longer as we needed to speak with the staff to correct it. Overall, they were able to correct it. My dad spoke to the manager and told him that he felt the entire service we received was a bit unprofessional given the food situation, our original waitress disappearing on us and the overall lag of the entire service. In the end, the manager was extremely dismissive simply stating "okay, okay, okay" to everything my dad was saying. It felt like they couldn't care less which was disappointing again because we have never been treated like that here before. Not to mention we traveled a few towns out of our home area because we have always liked coming here. But I think we will skip coming here for a while. Overall, it was very disappointing!

    We stopped at Crush Lounge for a late lunch, and it was totally perfect for our needs…read more The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered a BLT sandwich with French fries. And it was so good- lots of crispy bacon and fresh tomato and lettuce. The bun was fresh and soft but held up well (read not soggy) against the tomato and mayo. My husband opted for the soft pretzel, was was piping hot upon arrival and came with two sauces- a mustard sauce and a cheese sauce. We finished it all. The sandwich was so large, I took half back to our room to eat for later. Crush Lounge also has a small bowling alley with several lanes. We didn't get to try it as it was reserved for an event, but this is such a cool feature of the property. This is a solid spot for a quick bite to eat or for drinks when staying at the Meritage.

This was his first "real" bowling experience outside of using small, kiddie bowling sets or paper cups. They had 3 (out of 5 or 6?) working lanes and we go there right at opening so we could pick our lane. We made a reservation on Tock and when we arrived they said they were still "setting up". Not sure what that meant, but we waited about 15 minutes while 4-5 people stood behind the bar. They finally let us downstairs to the alleys where we were able to get our bowling shoes and put in a food order. The food selection was not bad, but after leaving, I realized I ordered two kid menu items which come with a drink, entree, and ice cream...but they gave us the entrees and not the drinks or ice cream. When the orders came out, they had also forgotten on of the entrees as well. Good thing I noticed the missing burger, but wompwomp on missing the additional kid meal items. Make sure you check your orders!! The spicy chicken sandwich and the buffalo wings were super slathered in sauce and very salty. The kids burger was burnt and my toddler didn't touch it. The fries and quesadilla were really good though! The kids had a fun time with the bowling experience - they had kid friendly items like a ramp for the ball and bumpers..plus some 7 lbs balls that my 3-year old was able to manage lol. Overall ok experience and a nice thing to do with the family.

My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.

    The food was good overall. We started with the fish and chips, and the fish was exactly how we like…read moreit--light, crispy, and coated in a delicate, crunchy batter (think Sardine Can). The onion rings were good too, although I wish they used the same batter as the fish. The food wasn't served quite as hot as I would have preferred, and they were pretty conservative with the condiments. That may be intentional given the location and the likelihood of non-customers helping themselves if everything was left on the tables. I asked whether the beets in the beet salad were freshly roasted or canned, and I was told they were fresh, so I ordered it. It was good, but something wasn't quite as fresh as I expected. It may have been the walnuts--I think they would have benefited from being toasted--or perhaps another ingredient. I'm very particular when it comes to beet salads. I also ordered the crab and artichoke melt, and this was the star of the meal. It was absolutely divine. Rich, buttery crab and melted cheese layered on thinly sliced, perfectly toasted ciabatta--it was pure comfort food. I was surprisingly full after just two bites, partly because the portions are generous and I'd already made a dent in the beet salad. I skipped drinks this visit, but I'll definitely be back to check out the rotating taps and wine selection. The staff were laid-back, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful. The setting is one of the restaurant's biggest draws. The outdoor patio offers a beautiful bird's-eye view of the ferries arriving at Mare Island, making it the perfect place to linger over a meal. Inside, there's a large, inviting bar where it's easy to strike up a conversation with another guest, or you can grab one of the window seats and simply enjoy the waterfront views. I'll definitely be back.
