Great place for lunch the lunch specials will fill you up. The flutes and the enchiladas were great I'll be back for supper next time

Good Gringo Mexican. I give it a solid three stars because the place is clean and the service is good. The food seems to be the usual frozen stuff from the Sysco truck. Canned enchilada sauce, pre-made chips, etc. We ordered a side of guacamole and it was $4 bucks for watered down avocado and tomatoes and onions. For that price, and in an area with an abundance of avocados, I would expect a good guacamole. read more

We came here because we saw vegetarian options, but it was a mistake. The guacamole taco was a lukewarm tortilla filled with what seemed like cheap, possibly processed guacamole... no flavor whatsoever. The rest of the food was cheesy and greasy. Couldn't eat a bite... seemed very unhealthy. However, the servers were really kind, so I appreciate that. Went down the street to Bunn Thai Bistro for edible food (you can see that review) read more

What's that extra little zing in my shrimp dish at Jalapeños? Well, it's Ants. Cooked right in with mushrooms and seafood. Ah well, at least our server was nice and attentive. read more

I am baffled by all the positive reviews. The food can easily be duplicated with a can opener and a trip to your local discount grocery store. The service was fine although I definitely did not feel welcome. The place is very clean and comfortable. But man the food sucks.. read more

Went back again last week. Carne Asada Burrito still delicious. And yes, the salsa is good too.

Great customer service each time we've eaten here. Food has been delicious from the chips, Nachos, soup, enchiladas, and the carne Asada burrito was huge. read more

Good tasty meal. No waiting. Courteous, quick, friendly service. I know it is short review but not many restaurants meet this standard.

My guy liked his cheese enchilada, and I liked my (fresh) fish tacos. The chips and salsa were perfection. Service was good-ish.

I'm surprised at the negative reviews--we thought this place was great. Very clean. Friendly and accommodating staff. The chips were nothing special but the salsa was wonderful. The enchiladas were great and the tacos were okay, so I guess it just depends on what you order. I'm looking forward to returning some day. read more

First time here! As we walked in the older waitress immediately sat us. When we sat at a table we asked if we could order to-go. I felt like as soon as we asked this, her whole demeanor changed? There were questions about the menu that she felt irritated answering. The service took too long and she didn't offer us any water while we waited or complimentary chips. ;( we thanked her and left. When we got to our destination we were so pleased with our food. But unfortunately the service left me not wanting to go back. I'll give a second star for the food. read more

Jalapeños has great chips and salsa! I had a dinner to attend and decided to take chips and salsa. When I ordered the large salsa (32 oz) and chips I was shocked to see that they did not include enough chips for that amount of salsa. When ordering I asked if it included enough chips and was told yes. After paying over $17.00 I mentioned it to the employee and he asked if I wanted to purchase more chips! Wow! Good taste but horrible price for what you get read more

Don't let the 4 stars fool you! The food is horrible here. Save your $ and go to Taco Bell down the street. At least you know what to expect at TB. Frankly, our meal was slightly better but a huge disappointment. My Chile Verde was dry and bland. Seemed maybe some lean pork that was added to some green salsa and served warm. My sons large beef burrito, (garnished with that fake guacamole that is squeezed from a tube) was 90% rice and beans. Salsa was OK but served in such a tiny bowl had to ask 4 times for refill. I strongly suggest choosing another Mexican restaurant as it seems hard that any other place could be as bad read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could my wife and I waited 10 minutes to be seated there was nobody there our server was to busy with their cell phone we waited so long for our order to be taken that I almost was about to go to the back refill our drinks and give the cook our order.our food came out and our tostada meat tasted really bad later that night we both got diarrhea what a bad choice.we will stick to rudy and angies atleast they dont serve you old outdated meat that can lead to food poisoning read more

I got Albóndigas soup today order to go it is served in a 32oz container with only 3 meatballs, I called and told them I only got 3 meatballs in my soup I'm not happy and the waiter stated that is how they serve the order with 3 ok not worth my money, never again jalapeños smh!!!!!!! read more

Pretty sure my taco shells were premade and my bowl of guac was strait squeezed out of a bag. But other than that.. Food was decent.

Wow didn't even get to sit down before we were treated so rudely. If can't treat your customers with respect it won't matter what your food tastes like. Not worth our time. read more

I was looking for fish tacos. I went in to this little joint and the host was eating lunch at 11:55 am. Guess he wasn't too concerned about the rush. I sat down and asked about the fish. He said they were sauteed. Thought I would give it a go. The food came out quickly, but that is where it took a left turn. The plate was about 250 deg which he failed to warn me about, so that sucked. The rice was over cooked and the beans looked to be from a can. The taco itself was okay, other than being scalding hot. The fish was more like a soup out in a corn tortilla. The taste was okay, but there was no fish taste, just the tomato mixture they sauteed them in. It was Tilapia which I don't like because it is usually frozen... I expected fresh fish since the place is less than a Mike from the beach. In addition, my glass went empty three times and I had to wait for refills. Not going back. read more

Great salsa, some of the tastiest I've had! The chips were delicious and light and the basket was always refilled quickly. The place is really clean and the staff was very polite and helpful. I loved the food and the prices were reasonable for a touristy spot. read more

Breakfast. I'm not sure if the waitress could understand English because she just kept saying 'yes' to our questions. Example: "What kind of breakfast burritos do you have?" "Yes". Needless to say she didn't get our order right. Didn't provide butter or syrup with the pancakes. Had to ask several times for salsa and the requested chips never came (I know kinda weird for breakfast but the table next to us had them and I like them with Machaca). The pancakes were just ok, kind of a little odd tasting (menu states "wonderful pancakes"). Loved the Machaca though. We were overcharged but didn't bother telling her, she seemed flustered. I'm giving it 4 stars because my dish was good and I used to go for dinner when they were at the old location and never had this experience. I'll give it another try but it'll probably be dinner going forward. As we were leaving another staff member showed up so that may have been the issue. read more

Jalapeños was everything we were looking for in an authentic Mexican restaurant. The salsa for the chips was absolutely delicious. Loved the beef taco. Wish there was a place like this in San Jose. read more

Good food and quick. Friendly service, too. We're not locals but I'll probably come back the next time we camp at Oceano Dunes.

After having a bad experience at Chachos a few nights ago my husband and I ( as always, craving great Mexican food) decided to turn to yelp and try Jalapeños. What an awesome choice!!! I was very surprised at the service, welcoming and friendly. Smiles and no issues with special orders. We had a bean & cheese burrito "wet", a triple combo with chilie Relleno, chilie Colorado burrito & bean & cheese burrito. While we waited we ordered chips and salsa and a couple of beers. Our beers were poured into frozen mugs and a bowl of fresh homemade salsa was delivered to our table. Yum!! I watched at the cook in the back make our meals. I was now very excited because I knew from the taste of the hearty salsa that this food would be excellent! It was done promptly and we took it to go back to our motorhome at PCV. I opened my wet burrito and was very impressed! Lots of red sauce covered my stuffed full bean & cheese burrito that melted in my mouth. I was so happy! Oh and they gave us more chips & fresh salsa without us even asking!! ( see my Chachos review) my husband liked but not loved his chilie Relleno. He said the stem was left in it & cheese was not completely melted. Kinda turned him off but he liked everything else. We will for sure be back! read more

Super fresh salsa and crispy warm chips and Horchata from scratch were our first signs that this place was going to be great. We had the flour flautas as an appetizer with juicy shredded chicken and beef (one of each) smothered in a warm homemade tomato-based sauce that was amazing! The beans and rice were some of the most authentic we've had and tasted so fresh and flavorful. The shredded chicken and beef crunchy tacos were great, the chile relleno and the cheese enchilada were incredible with homemade sauces. Overall one of the best sit-down Mexican food experiences we've had in a while. Great music paying, really clean, and friendly staff make it 5 stars!! read more

Clean restaurant with attentive & friendly staff. Food is amazing. Carne asada, chile verde, both fabulous. Everything tastes fresh and homemade!!! The salsa is some of the best I have ever had! read more

Yummy $6.99 lunch plate. Had 2 beef tacos, rice & beans. Restaurant is sparkling clean with friendly, Family staff. Small but cheery.

Of course this is my opinion...but this place is No BUENO! Maybe it had something to do with my GF and I calling our order in 5 minutes before closing. Ordered 8 carne asada tacos, a carne asada burrito, and a combo plate...and when I got there they were still cooking the food but she handed me the bill and it came out to 60 bucks!? Now, I think Fresno makes great tacos..and we are from Fresno, so my comparison in price and taste is based on my Fresno experience. I asked her "60 bucks?! Why?! She said, the tacos are 4.50...4.50?! She said these are big tacos. BIG TACOS? They're the same size as the Fresno tacos yet the Fresno tacos costs 2 bucks at the most, with more intense beefy flavor. The carne asada tacos at this joint were bland and flavorless, over sauced and wet. Same thing with the carne asada burrito was 11.50 and came out with a wet red sauce that I didn't even ask for. I was just looking for a dry normal carne asada burrito that I can hold in my hand and stuff into my mouth. And lastly the combo plate was just awful. Beans tasted like they came out of a can, rice was tasteless. I just don't get it how people can give this place a great review, never again will I go here. read more

Service was bad food was ok they do give you huge portions the burrito was huge even the kid burritos

Good basic Mexican food-not terribly authentic but tasty. Enjoyed the awesome housemade salsa. Family owned so I would go back.

We eat there often and it's always great! The food is high quality and all from scratch, and the restaurant and kitchen are very clean. You can tell the owners take pride in their business. We love the taquitos, chile verde burritos, enchiladas suisas, fish tacos, cheese enchiladas and burrito grande. If you love avocados the guacamole tacos are excellent and are served in a hard shell corn tortilla. Fast service, and the food is consistently good and served hot. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! You will not go away hungry period. I was full but kept eating just based on taste. Had the Grande Burrito highly recommend. So often many of us lower our ratings due to wait staff, not the case here waitress greeted us with smile and personality and it went up from there. read more

This place is awesome! With a relaxed atmosphere, Jalapeño's can handle any size group. We had 16 people with a mix of adults and kids. As my wife says "get the chicken flautas, they are a festival of flavor". read more

Great food, great service. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Tamale plate was delicious! Chips and salsa are fresh.

Everything is yum. But the owner should stop serving tortilla chips with her hands on the take out orders handling cash!

Had beef tacos - excellent as was the service and surroundings. Good chips and salsa not too spicy. Would definitely recommend.

Yum....the steak in the burritos has an amazing flavor. I explained it to my kids as it was so good it felt like we were eating a dessert for our main course. read more

Free salsa and chips. We ordered the Grande Wet Burrito with grilled chicken. Hands down the best burrito.

The service was POOR!!! The server was VERY RUDE!!!! If she isn't happy with her job she should leave. We went as soon as they opened. We went as 3 different couples with 3 separate checks and when our checks came she charged us 18 % tip each on her own!. She not once came to tables to ask if we needed anything. And at leaving did not say goodbye or thank you just picked up paid checks. read more

Hands down best Mexican food around. Great atmosphere and great quality service. If you're in the mood for some Mexican food, this surely is the place for you! read more

Not happy today. Want for dinner tonight with a Discover Dining coupon. The coupon front stated "Complimentary lunch menu #1-10" but on the back it said valid from 11 AM to 9 PM. We figured there was a special menu (lunch #1-10) when using the coupon. We showed the waiter the coupon after we sat down and he said the coupon was not valid for dinner only for lunch. He said the owner "accidentally "listed the operating hours rather than the valid hours. We contemplated leaving but we're very hungry and decided to stay. I wonder if that really was an accident or if it was planned to get HUNGRY unsuspecting people through the door and charge them full price because of an "error". read more
