The best birria I've ever had! I always order the birria chilaquiles and it's great quality & solid portion. The restaurant has been recently updated with new floors and new menu signs. Everyone is always friendly here. Highly recommend! If you can't go to the restaurant, they have trucks in Santa Rosa and Cotati. read more

It's good but I justify having lettuce in my burrito! The spices and seasoning is great. But it's the lettuce that killed it for me!

Queso Birria tacos here are a stand out. A good portion of meat and cheese filling within the tortilla. I always get the consume to dip the tacos in - so yummy! I also like the party plater option- it comes with 15 tacos. Great for when we host a family party. Ordering can be done in advance online, over the phone or in person. It's pretty quick whatever way you choose to order. The place is clean and staff is friendly. Have ordered here several times and their food is always consistent. read more

Long overdue. My co-worker kept telling me to try this place and when I finally tried it, I was upset that it took this long because it was SO SO GOOD. If you like quesabirria's and good tacos, then Jalapeño Mexican Grill is for you. When you walk in, it may not look like much from the looks of the interior but when I tell you they put they FOOT (not literally of course... just an expression) in the quesabirrias and tacos, they definitely did! It was just that good. The consomé was flavorful and had bits of beef in it. The tacos were also impressive! Highly recommended, please check them out. read more

Most times it's more fat than meat in the taco and it doesn't sit well (for me) due to the amount of grease. Do not recommend when looking for birria food spots read more

Jalapeno Mexican grill is a hole in the wall, tucked in a small plaza. With only ~10 tables, this humble little shop specializes in birria. I've tried the food truck location once only to be disappointed, and wanted to see if the brick & mortar would be better. I ordered a birria burrito and a pina agua fresca. I had just found a table when no more than 2 minutes later my food had arrived. Chips & salsa were served along w/ the meal. The burrito was loaded up with birria, with an ~ ratio of 80/20 for meat to everything else inside. The birria was mouth-wateringly tender, each bite exploding with flavor. The burrito was toasted before being wrapped up, giving each bite a delicate little crisp from the warm and toasty tortilla. For only $14, the size and filling ratio is completely justified. 9.4/10 Will come back to try their other birria dishes, like the quesa tacos, mulitas, and maybe even the mac & cheese. read more

I have always liked jalapeños from when they were still selling at the flea market up in Sebastopol. I feel like the service is still very good. Their waters are delicious. The tacos used to be packed with meat. However the last 2 times I have ordered the tacos had less meat, but more fat. I remember the reason we began going here was because they would always hook it up with the meat. Recently not so much. Maybe it's something you now have to mention to the staff when ordering (I order pickup usually). The spot is small inside but the tables are cozy and the staff is super attentive. They provide extra salsa, lemon and always ask how everything is and check on you. I still come here on occasion or their taco truck, foods pretty good and decently priced. I don't have any pictures of the tacos but will update next time I order here. read more

The food here is always on point the queso birria tacos are bomb and never disappoint. This place is consistently a hit.

I wasn't able to check in at the Jalapeño's Mexican Grill Food Truck, now a new location, located on Piner Road in Santa Rosa. My coworkers were raving about the Jalapeño food truck opening. I decided to try it! Lord oh Lord this is Birria Heaven! I ordered the birria taco with a birria mulita! I sat outside under the tent at the benches, as one of the ladies who had taken my order, brought my food to the table. I devoured the taco as I dipped it in the sauce that comes with the birria tacos. I was stuffed and had to take the rest home. This was a great way to end my Sunday night. read more

Service was very good. The gentleman taking my order was very helpful in helping me decide what I wanted as they had so many options available! I ended up going with an horchata and shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were good and crispy, and filling. The complimentary chips and salsa add a bonus! I'd come back again. read more

Food was delicious Chips and salsa - great chips free and red salsa both spicy and super flavorful Quesabirrias up there in the top 3 I've ever tried.

Got 2 Birria burritos. The meat and rice was delicious. It did seem to lack on sour cream, cheese and salsa.

Very good quesobirria tacos and consome. I got Jalapeño about 4 years ago as my first time trying birria and it still is really good. This was my first time trying their chips and salsa and it was very great. I would definitely want to come back for their torta and horchata. They were a little slow when we were the only ones who were there but that can be overlooked when the food is good. read more

Every time my husband and I go here it's great! The food is always cooked to perfection. The service is great and the staff is always kind.

Why do you guys sell quesotacos... that are supposed to be traditionally crispy... that aren't crispy? The 3 al pastor quesotacos were disgustingly soggy, literally sopping wet, I couldn't even enjoy my meal. If I wanted soggy tacos, I'd have gotten street tacos from quite literally anywhere else, which are traditionally, soft. Yes, crispy tacos may have an element of softness to them because they are dipped in consome before frying, but please ACTUALLY fry them for your future customers. I'm sad because I had suuuuper high expectations of these tacos and they failed terribly. I will say, I added a star because the strawberry horchata was delicious, but was definitely made with strawberry nesquik, still yuummy. Probs the only thing I'd go back for. read more

I'm on a quest to find the best tacos in Santa Rosa, and I've tried several popular taco trucks so far. Jalapeño's has served up the best chicken and carne asada tacos I've had yet. Both the red and green salsas were equally impressive. They tasted fresh, highlighting the natural flavors of the peppers, and really enhanced the tacos. Too often, I've had bland tacos with overly salty salsa, but this place nailed it. I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

This place is gold!!! Wow, we were so surprised. It's backed into a small cut on a bust road. They also have multiple food trucks in multiple locations. The food.... Wow! Best birria I've ever experienced. I had the birria burrito and it was a 10/10. My girlfriend had the birria tacos with rice and beans also a 10/10. A couple mango aqua frescas hit the spot as well. Beware the burrito is massive, probably 10 inches long and Carry's some good weight . Highly recommend this place! read more

I stumbled upon Jalapeño (restaurant) when texting my neighbor about delicious birria that I had tried at my friend's house (shout out to Cassie, you know where it's at). In response, my neighbor sent me pictures of a local birria spot here in Santa Rosa. These pictures of birria and agua fresca had my tummy rumbling and my mouth salivating. "When can we go??" I asked. My neighbor responded: "today can be my cheat day" (she's a flexible vegetarian so she was sacrificing her vegetarianism for birria...it's that good). Seconds later, we drove to Jalapeño (restaurant) and the rest was history.... Warning: this next part will have your mouth watering so unless you have Jalapeño (restaurant's) birria right in front of you...be prepared for sensory overload. I went to Jalapeño with a crew. Each of us had a different plate. Overall, we give Jalapeño (restaurant) a 5/5 and here is why: Pros: birria hit the spot, HUARACHE is FIRE, quesabirria is a cheesy heaven, aguas frescas are revitalizing, and staff are super cool. Cons: Jalapeño is amazing but they need to write separate addresses on their yelp page (for their taco truck and restaurant). The address is confusing to customers and can cause a customer to drive to the taco truck location (aka me). I found Jalapeño because my friends drove with me and my neighbor had gone before so she was able to find the location off of memory. During our food sesh, I had each of my friends talk about their experience and this is what they each shared: Lis got the Huarache and reported: "Great portion, great taste." Lis' comment made me wanting to know more so...days later, I went back to Jalapeño (by myself...No shame in that) and bought the Huarache (for the meat, I chose a combo of al pastor and carne asada) and found it to be a euphoric experience. Furthermore, their huarache is my FAVORITE thing on their menu! If you go here, you HAVE TO try this! More on this dish later... Dan got the quesobirria and said this: "It was amazing!! Tasted like a cheesy heaven and I thought it was well seasoned and really yummy. The only one I've had but the BEST!" Dan also got the Quesobirria taco and this is what he shared: "It was a perfect combo between cheese, meat, and toppings that paired really well with their red sauce." Mel got a quesotaco as well and shared this: "I've tried all their food here but I felt like this one is the most balanced one for me. The seasoning is flavorful and just makes me want to TAKE MY TIME. Finally, I got a gordita and taco and this is what I thought: Both were deli and super cheesy and rich but my absolute FAVORITE was the huarache. My friends got the huarache with al pastor and carne asada mixed together and holy moly that was FIRE!!! I went back yesterday just for the huarache and it hit the spot! That with their TASTY and REFRESHING cucumber/lime Agua Fresca (which I finished before eating) made me way too happy. It has onion, cilantro, cream, seasoning, red sauce, and a fried tortilla that is perfectly flavorful and makes you wanting more. Each bite is an experience. Also, the drinks here are the best drinks i've every had! Be sure to try their cucumber/lime Agua Fresca. You won't regret it! Additionally, for milk lovers out there..they have a strawberry horchata drink that Dan said was yummy! I am definitely coming here several more times until I tire myself out (although that may be impossible)....If you haven't tried this spot, you are truly missing out. This is authentic Mexican food at it's yummiest. Go support a Latinx owned local business that has caring, kind, and hard working staff who know exactly what they are doing. Saludos, -Linda read more

Excellent spot for Mexican food! I have gone here for a few years now and I must say that I enjoy all their food. Today I came back here again with some friends and it did not disappoint! The inside of the restaurant is very casual, you go the front order your food and sit down anywhere. Service is fast here and they get your food out within less than 10 minutes. I had the quesa birria tacos tonight which are a huge favorite. Then one of the people I was with got this thing that looked like a Mexican pizza called a guache (idk if that's the name lol) but I had a bite and tried it which was so delicious. I definitely would order this food next time I go! Totally recommend this place to anyone and I can't wait to come back. read more

I tried this place for the first time today and it's amazing. It's a bit hot. They do need some air-conditioning in here. It's a small restaurant like they're just opening up but their food is fabulous. I ordered the birria burrito lots of meat very hot and fresh. read more

Good service but food is way too greasy and expensive for its quality. Produce wasn't fresh and pineapple was sour and clearly came from a can. Quesadilla had a disgusting amount of cheese and had an onion skin :( This and a teeny horchata was $20. Save your time and money and take your appetite somewhere else read more

So I wanted to update my review because I received some feedback from Luke. It would be great for the people Answering the phones to communicate what they do and do not have accurately.
