Came in on a rainy Saturday, the weekend after Thanksgiving. Pretty vacant but I'm hoping it's not usually because everything was absolutely amazing. Salsa is perfect, as are the chips. I got the wet chile verde burrito, boyfriend got the special - both were on point. Service was great and they were very sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Truly authentic Mexican food. You truly get what you pay for here. So far, this is my go to Mexican restaurant in 5 Cities. So far, I've tried their tamale plate and also enchilada and tamale plate. I was craving tamales and wasn't having the best of luck. I found out Jalapeños served tamales and tried them the same day. Tamale is delicious -- it has a great balance between masa and meat. The best part is the red sauce that's added on top of the tamale. It has great flavor and has made a lasting impression on me. Everything I've tried here, from the salsa to the main dishes have been delicious, fresh, and flavorful. This is such a great place to come. The staff is wonderful and they pride themselves on keeping the restaurant clean! It's large enough to host a dinner with friends. I'm looking forward to further exploring their menu come 2017. read more

This restaurant put in the simplest of terms is just absolutely fantastic. It is a small little local restaurant that is better than most of the bigger places. When you walk in the service is great and the energy as a whole makes you feel at home. Not only is the food great and tastes fresh but came out within 10 minutes of ordering and also doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. If you get a chance to stop by and eat here I would highly recommend it. read more

This place is awesome! Small Mexican cafe, but a lot of charm and warmth from the owner. She knows what her customers want and will go out of her way to please them. Good is excellent. Hot food, great customer service, very clean and reasonable prices. Portions are perfect! Yes very good restaurant! Go go you will love the service and food! read more

Great food and service, chicken tacos and chicken suizas are awsome. Very clean and friendly. We will be back!

I finally went back for dinner. Amazing service and great food. After eating the perfect chilirelleno I got the shrimp cocktail to go. One of the best I've ever had. Our server was tired from a long day but sucked it up and was very attentive. My favorite mexican food place. read more

The central coast has trouble with Mexican food restaurants. I've lived here my whole life and had never had a favorite so I've been trying different ones and this one has been one of the good ones! The salsa was the only thing I didn't like.... WAY too many onions & not spicy enough. Although it's not 100% authentic , the enchiladas suizas I had were delicious! I have to mention too, we went in at 8:30ish & they close at 9pm. *shoutout for actually being open & not making us feel awkward being there until 9pm. GREAT customer service! read more

This is a great find. The rice and beans were excellent. refried beans the way they should be done, the way you can't find in too many places. I had the chile verde burrito, wet. It was fantastic the pork was moist, the chile verde sauce was perfectly done, just a hint of spice. The restaurant was super clean and the staff was super friendly. I'm coming back! read more

WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN. My husband and I ordered regularly from Jalapeños throughout Covid to support a local business and because they're food was good. Tonight we order two chicken burritos, two tacos and a side of chips and salsa... for a total of $58. WHAT?! When we asked about the outrageous total of our order, we were told that because we asked for fajitas to be added to our chicken burritos (usually $5.50 a la carte) the price went up to $17.99 each. And mine didn't have the cheese or sour cream I asked for. When we asked for clarification we received the rudest customer service I've experienced in a long time. Also with our side order of a large salsa we received a small side of chips, despite paying for a large. Very very disappointed in this local business that could have done a much better job of responding to their customers. Will never order from them again. read more

Great chips and salsa with just enough spice Service was great. Our meals were bland, the sauce on the wet burritos tasted like canned sauce. Not sure if their guacamole is fresh, it did not taste fresh. read more

Great service, authentic Mexican food at great prices. This place is one of our regular spots!

Local family run restaurant. Excellent friendly service. Chillies Rellenos are outstanding. Shredded beef tacos and great burritos of beef, pork or shrimp. Everything made with the best ingredients. read more

See all

This is really good Mexican food at reasonable prices. You know its good, when the beans and rice are homemade and awesome. The menu has everything you could want. Lots of combos and a la carte items as well. Chips and salsa are really good, too. read more

I don't know what ihas happened to this place it used to be very good most of the time. The chips taste like the oil or grease is old ( used too many times! )-really an awful taste. Also the portions are very small for what you are paying, compared to other Mexican restaurants they really need to get with it.very disappointing read more

The food was amazing as was the customer service. I asked for a spicier salsa and was made a small cup just for us. So so good. Asada and shredded beef tacos, enchiladas, and the Chile rellano are highly recommended. Don't overlook this place. read more

Don't get food to go from Jalapeno's. I stopped after a very long day to pick up rice and beans for dinner. By the time I got home I had a very messy bag of food. The heavy beans were put on top of the rice so all the containers collapsed. What a waste of $26.00. I called the restaurant and their only solution was for me to drive all the way back with the bag to have it replaced. Like I want to put the bag anywhere but in the trash, definitely not back in my car. Horrible customer service and rude waitresses. After waiting for several minutes on the phone since they were clueless on what to do, I hung up. It was obvious they don't know how to pack to go food, but they don't know how to make things right when they mess up. read more

The food here is beyond excellent. It is a little pricey but portion sizes are perfect. I order two meals and take one home with me to eat the next day and it is excellent. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Great hard shell tacos. Very reasonable lunch specials! Good service. Nice place...great salsa!

Super clean restaurant, friendly staff, and great food! The complimentary chips and salsa are the best i've ever tried! Their chile verde and burritos are so good as well! The food is well worth the price. You should definitely visit if you're in the area :) read more

One of our go to places in Grover. Great food, attentive service, and a very comfortable atmosphere. The family that operates are wonderful. Reasonably priced; especially with the coupons that come in advertising mailers. read more

This hidden gem of Grover Beach is amazing! I had the chicken fajitas and it was delicious. They make the best micheladas (red beer) on Central Coast. Service was okay, prices are fair and decor was very authentic inside. I will be back again. read more

This will be a regular spot for us! Such a warm, inviting place and that comforting homemade food.

Some of the best Mexican food we've had! Everything was amazing and they even did a special order for a very picky eater we had with us.

I took a chance on this place and I'm so glad I did!!! It was absolutely delicious! Flavorful and good service

A very bland and forgettable experience. The place is clean, but really no flavor at all. Seemed to offer many pre-made or purchased sorts of ingredients: box-style taco shells, store-bought guacamole, Tapatio hot sauce, tortilla chips from the bag etc. I could do much better flavors at home in my own kitchen. read more

The staff is friendly and efficient. The food is tasty and consistent. Love the chilaquiles! Always tasty with a negra modelo. A great place to share and talk with. a friend. read more

I have to add that this is my favorite place to get mexican food. the added bonus of the great attitude of the staff working here is also a plus! read more

DO NOT ORDER HORCHATA! It was HORRIBLE, watered down, tasted like a low quality instant mix. the food was "decent". not AUTHENTICO! In the Five Cities, I'd rather of gone to Taco's de Acapulco, Chacho's, Efren's,Marisco's del Mar, or any other place than this! Closer to Tex-Mex suburban Mall food. Here on the Central Coast our taste buds deserve better. Very Disappointed! Being on Grand Ave. I'm sure the tourists will help them keep the doors open. It was very clean, and the staff were great. But I will always choose to go elsewhere. read more

It was nice of them to keep open for my family and I, as they were starting to close at 9pm. We had ordered a couple of margaritas (small portioned) to have as we ordered a to go. (Unsure if they wouldve enjoyed us staying any longer than we did.) We had ordered a combo 2 shrimp taco plate came with rice, beans, and soup which all was VERY disappointing! 2 a la carte fish tacos; ended up with both shrimp. WE ARE right next to the ocean and sadest part is; Habaneros seafood in Bakersfield, CA is far better! The kids mexican pizza was the best part of our meal. Defiantly not worth $54.. more like $20!! read more

Got the grande asada burrito. It is huge, the meat is delicious. And their chips and salsa was also good. I am always pleasantly surprised when I can find a good Mexican food joint that has good salsa read more

It's losing a star for being cranky about extra lemon. Has no limes. In the middle of agriculture heaven where we can buy lemons from neighbors they want to charge you $2 per slice? LOL no. read more

Service is ok. Prices are a little high for the portion size. I would have give. This place 4 stars, but my chili reano was full of seeds, I exchanged it for a cheese enchilada with out much fuss from the staff. Other wise, good flavors, decent salas. If I could give them 3.5 I would. read more

My favorite place in the Pismo area...closet to the Mexican food in the Central Valley

By far, the best Mexican restaurant in the 5-cities!!! Incredibly friendly, family owned and operated with a menu full of everything you expect from a top notch Mexican restaurant. Reasonable prices! Delicious food! read more

Meh. Watery refined beans, green sauce with a hint of cinnamon over the bean burrito was off, chips tasted like they were cooked in old oil. I wasn't impressed. My kids weren't either and started acting up as they became disinterested in the food. Cute little place though. The horchata and beer was good! They don't make either of that do they? read more
