Jalapeño Bucks is a local favorite--and it hits every single time! Today I went with my go-to order: the combo plate with brisket enchiladas (no beans, double rice), plus a side of mac salad and some salsa. Absolute perfection. The flavors are always on point, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. A perfect BBQ twist on Mexican classics that you won't find just anywhere. Pro tip: come when the weather's nice--it's outdoor seating only, and it makes the whole experience even better. If you're in the area and haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out. This spot never disappoints! read more

Really great food! I had the brisket quesadilla, it was bomb. The staff were all very friendly and it definitely has the vibes of a BBQ place. The only downside is, I asked for the hottest sauce they had and it was more mild than anything. Still delicious tho. read more

I was very excited to see brisket enchiladas on the menu. However they are not great, they're made with flour tortillas and I'm pretty sure microwaved or quickly heated when you order. The tortillas get pretty gummy and there's no of that cohesiveness like baked enchiladas have. The brisket, sauce and beans were all good though. Definitely would go again and try something different. There's also no bathroom and not really any businesses nearby either so something to keep in mind. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! Super friendly service and dare I say, the best burritos in AZ?! We've been living here for a year now, and stumbled across Jalapeno bucks as we search for a new home. I've heard rave reviews and we were down the street so I HAD to Stop by and try, and boy it did not disappoint. If we lived down the street, I would maybe become a Jalapeno bucks addict. We ordered the red/green chili burrito 3 way with beans and cheese...the brisket egg and cheese, as welll as a bean and cheese. They were all SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! I saved half of my burrito so i like could eat it later. Officially one of my fav spots in A.Z! read more

Jalapeño Bucks is one of our new favorite places to go for dinner! We heard about this place from some friends and it definitely lives up to the hype! The brisket bean and cheese burrito is to die for. It's huge, very filling, and extremely flavorful. We also really love their mango salsa. The only downside to Jalapeño Bucks is that it's kinda far/out of the way from where we live-we just wish they had a location closer to us! read more

Still my favorite stop in az jalapeño bucks is so legit. And offers items that nobody else does 3 eat bean and cheese burrito. I don't even like bean ands cheese burrito but I love this one. Crave it all the time. Gooey cheeseyy flavorful. Nobody can duplicate this. Pro tip make sure you let it cool before trying. It needs to settle a bit or else it's too hot and messy Pbj Briscuit sand which. Sounds awful but taste amazing. It just works. In so many ways. 10 out of 10 I order this every time I come Parking sucks. Out of the way but I still make it here no matter what read more

We happened to stop by Jalapeño Bucks on the way back home and I wish this place was closer because we would be there often! It was so good! There are a few tables outside and no indoor seating so this is a grab and go place in the thick of summer. The service was quick and we put it our order at the window and it was ready within 10 minutes or so. We got 2 bean and cheese burritos, a 3 way burrito which had red pork, green beef, beans and cheese and a greenie beanie. We did also get a side of potato salad. The bean and cheese burritos were good, nothing super exciting. The star was that greenie beanie burrito, the flavor on it was so good and these burritos are HUGE! Like 2 people can definitely eat off of one and the prices are super reasonable for what you get. The potato salad was actually so good as well. I will definitely grab more of that and try their other salads and mango salsa next time. Definitely a good stop for food! read more

So I have only been here about 20 times and remember every time why I keep coming back. Today I got the 3 way burrito and again it was amazing. This thing is a hefty nice size and the amount of flavor that's packed in it makes it my favorite around. The beans have a light smokiness that climbs into your soul and is complemented by all that meat goodness. There is a ton of cheese too, every single bite had melted cheese in it. You can see in the pic the amount of cheese. This restaurant is fat person approved. read more

Great local fare with Leihi BBQ traditions. The burritos are made to order and really hot. I got two and waited 30 minutes and it was still smoking. So delicious. Not open on Mondays, so don't get hungry then. But a nice evening walk along the canal and then a burro can be epic! read more

Flavors strong, and distinct. Was a bit messy and full. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Outdoor eating had a bit of flys but was a nice out. Good stop after a ride read more

What the buck!??!!?? This spot at one point was in my top 5 bbq joints. We live far from Mesa so we rarely get to eat here (its been at least 2 years), we found ourselves in Mesa for a youth football game and said "why not"!!! Well now I know why not ‍... We ordered the burnt ends and the meat tasted real "oveney" not smokey and it was somewhat tough, I don't know if there was a ownership or pitmaster change but OMG people there's a CHANGE!!! I used to recommend this spot but now I shant, at least until I try it again. If the food tastes the same next time I go... bye bucks... read more

I am very disappointed overall with the food. The meat is dry and flavorless, the salsa tasted like tomato soup, the potato salad was too much liquid to potato ratio. For how much it costs it's just not worth it, tastes like a $5 meal not a $50 meal. read more

1/2 pound pulled pork sandwich with jalapeños has always been my go to order probably had it over a dozen times at this point while extremely tasty it does give me a tummy ache but always worth it as they say no pain no gain read more

From an Arizona native: Jalapeño Buck's is such a valley gem. Across the board, food is fantastic. Super sloppy to eat, but everything is delicious. My husband got the brisket sandwich (with jalapeños and honey mustard sauce) and said it might be the best brisket sandwich he's had in Arizona (he has had many). The green chile beef burrito is delicious (a tad floppy) but super filling and tasty. Service is good, fun to sit outside on an easy going day (they have misters under the shade). Pretty good bang for your buck, no pun intended. read more

You won't find a better shredded beef, green chili burro or quesadilla for that matter in the valley! I love that you can just zip on in, get your food, sit down, eat and go! No fuss which is fine by me. Heads up no pet allowed even though it's outdoor eating and as far as I know and can tell no bathrooms so if you like fancy, this is not the place for you. But if you like good food and good service, then definitely try it! read more

This place was a pleasure surprise to visit for anyone who wants to get an amazing burrito! I came here during lunch and let me tell u it's super packed! That's how u know the spot is going to hit! Went in line and ordered and didn't have to wait too long considering the amount of people! And got the burrito combo plate, with 3 layer burrito and potato salad. The salad was amazing and a bit more sweet that I am use to, but my god the burrito is huge! It was completely loaded and worst the price! Only thing I wish was the misters were turned on as it was scorching hot outside as there is no shade when standing in line. read more

Food is amazing but beware they do not have restrooms for the customers .The ambiance is super cool with old western theme

It's nice to live nearby a great bbq place with alot of offerings and a citrus market. The brisket, bean, and cheese or egg burrito is my go-to on the weekends. The bbq sauce that comes with is mild and flavorful. Great for large parties with outdoor seating only. read more

I ordered a burrito, all I got was this bell pepper. I loved it. I will be coming back here with my son and my grandchild. My grandchild has autism, though I still think the environment is suitable for him. 9/10. My spouse asked me not to mention my trip to jalapeño bucks to her partner, but I think I might have too. read more

Unbelievable green chile beef burrito. Best I've ever had I'm not even joking. There's also a really cool citrus store next door that sells fresh fruit. A must try. read more

Been visiting, jalapeño bucks for a very long time, I absolutely love this place. The first thing I tried was the peanut butter brisket, which was phenomenal. Another one of my absolute favorites is the brisket bean and cheese burrito. Has such an awesome smoky flavor. I don't think I've ever had anything there that I didn't like. The service is always great. The people that work there are awesome. It's a beautiful little shack that used to be in the middle of nowhere which I absolutely love because now they are surrounded by housing that probably shouldn't be there. The orange groves are gone, the feel of small town is gone, but this place is a one of a kind and a hidden gem . Give this place a try you will absolutely love it. read more

This little out of the way smoke shack to offers delicious smoked brisket and burritos mango salsa and chips. Selection is limited but tasty. My only gripe is it is now a mixed a sea of homes rather than the Orange Groves and the prices in the lines are incredible. There are no restrooms and we had an hour and 20 minute wait. There were people taking tables that were at the back of the line and had not even ordered. There's a long wait even after ordering because many telephone in orders while their partners secure a table. It seems that management needs to do something about the lines and the telephone order is taking preference over the live bodies that are waiting in the sun. There's no shade or accommodations for them nor restrooms. Good food, but there's a lot of good food in Phoenix not worth the weight. read more

I ate the Buck out of this place, it's so Bucking good!!! It's definitely my new Buck Buddy...love it! I'm of the belief that you can make anything into a burrito...it's my favorite food group. Love so many things about this spot...the location, the storefront, outdoor seating only, smoky bbq smells, the burritos are phenomenal, the people are super friendly, everything! I went with the brisket, egg and cheese burrito and added refried beans to it. Loved every bite and was sad when it was gone. But I'll hit this again....but I'll probably wait a few days so I don't seem desperate. On a scale of 1 to 10, I love this place! read more

Delicious food! Great service and reasonable prices. All of our kids enjoy eating here as well.

What a great lunch stop. Awesome smoked meats, burritos, sides. Driven by a million times finally stopped and tried them out yesterday. Outside seating, very casual, so so tasty. Recommend 100%. read more

Barely heard of this place & I cannot believe how much I was missing out on! I drove about 40 min to try this place & it was definitely worth the drive. I got the 1/4 pulled pork sandwich the meat was tender & soft & the bun makes it even better . I also had their green chili beef burrito & that also had an amazing taste not too spicy but a good spice the beans and cheese were slightly melted. The service was actually pretty fast and the ambiance was nice, ate outside and it was just perfect. Definitely will be back. read more

Burnt ends and PBJ brisket sandwich were very good. Sauces are not what one might expect for BBQ but had good flavor. The refried beans were good as well. The ambiance is very minimalist but works.) read more

Jalapeño Buck's has been on my longtime bucket list! With their specific hours, I finally had an opportunity to give them a visit! They're closed on Sundays and Mondays and open from 10 AM - 6 PM or 7 PM the rest of the week. So unless you're in the area, not the most flexible hours. That being said, I decided to snag a late lunch bite from them this week. They're a BBQ Mexican fusion type joint. , featuring exclusively outdoor seating (no animals allowed), no restroom and walk up counter service. They have a fun shack like vibe with lots of cool signs, but overall limited amenities, but then again, you're going for the food! Or should be! The girl who took my order was very sweet. I knew ahead of time from perusing the menu and reviews that I was going to get the brisket, bean and cheese burrito - The cashier let me know it was a solid and popular choice. She ran me through all their salsa options: A spicy red, a verde type, a more like forward creamy green, a mango and a classic mild red. I did also get a side of guacamole, was pretty disappointed it was prepackaged and expected something made in house, but alas still nice they have it. The burrito was very good! Quite hefty, super smoky and tender brisket. I added pickled jalapeños, overall quite a delicious, but heavy and trick burrito. I loved all the salsas. Would probably opt for spicy red, creamy green and mango as personal favorites. I definitely am glad I made it there, would visit again, but with the limited hours, may not be there in the immediate future. I understand why people enjoy it so much and definitely want to try some of those burnt ends on my next visit! read more

We got a half pound pulled pork sandwich and a brisket bean and cheese burrito and thought I will get it deep fried that's an extra $4 bucks but sounds good. It takes 30 mins to get are food. The pulled pork was good but the burrito was soggy and just covered in oil so not good,and to have to pay $4 bucks. Not happy about that but hungry so had half of it and could not do anymore. It's going to take some time before I go back to this place. 30 mins to wait for two things on the menu and to have it not be cooked right as well pay extra. read more

I don't even look for other places anymore this one has everything I want in a BBQ meal

Super huge fan of this spot. I've been going since 2016 and literally everything I've had on the menu is amazing! Wish they had more locations. Keep it up read more

First of all I do not know why YELP keeps directing me to these cool places and they are all outdoors and it's July!!! Ugh it's so hot out today. But i have wanted to try this place for so long. NO RESTROOMS! What kind of establishment doesn't provide restrooms? The food is so messy you can't even wash your hands. Full disclosure on the food- I am not huge on BBQ, I like it but, it's never been my favorite. The portions are huge, but so are the prices. Almost $19 for a sandwich. Got the PB&J brisket sandwich, it tastes good I give taste 4/5. The PB&J (grape) tastes so unique with the brisket. Like the concept. BUT WHERE IT GOES WRONG- the bread was so soggy.....it was disgusting. I don't know if it's because the brisket is so greasy..... but you can barely pick up this mush. The brisket egg and cheese- HUGE- couldn't even finish it. But it would be so much better if they chopped up the brisket. Nothing was mixed, you're either getting a bite of just meat or a bite of egg and cheese (unless you have a huge mouth). Then when I bite into it I get a lot of chewy pieces. Ya this place isn't for me. The mango salsa was a 10/10 The coleslaw was good and I hate coleslaw Mac salad was good read more

Food was what ever they use yesterdays Burnt ends mixed with today's burnt end you'll get some nice juicy ones and then you'll get these beef jerky ones spend $30 on some burnt ends and some rice and beans. Little ridiculous for what you get. I'd never refer anyone to go here. I'd rather spend the 14 to 16 hours smoking my own 17 lb brisket. Be happy with the outcome over that read more

Delicious food and warm welcoming environment. Food come out fast and everyone there is super friendly :)

First timer trying jalapeño bucks. Bought 2 green chili shredded beef burritos. While eating one I found small metallic pieces in the burrito. Possibly aluminum foil? Very unfortunate flavors were great until I came across the small metallic pieces. Tossed both burritos away. read more

Brisket was amazing got the sandwich and the brisket bean and cheese burrito and that might have been one of the best burritos ever.

Better customer service. No bathrooms we kept asking if we can use there restrooms and they said they dnt have any. When clearly they had two restrooms there but they didn't want to open it. Then asked if they can cut the sandwich and they said no it's a sanitation thing they can't. Food was ok not the best. Will be my last time here read more

The food is great and usually service is fine. But today we waited an hour for our food as did most all the customers. If there was a kitchen issue we were not told. People were not happy. How about putting out salsa and chips? There obviously was a problem. Just be honest read more
