Love Jalapeño! We have been going there or ordering takeout since we have moved here in 2017. We have tried many other Mexican cuisine restaurants in the Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton area and found them not to be very authentic, crowded/noisy and pricey. This spot has a wide menu of choices, varied flavor profiles and is the real deal. They don't sell any alcohol but BYOB is allowed. Their service is gracious and quick. Their storefront in downtown Georgetown has several booths for four, longer tables for larger groups, and a few window stools for singles. An amazing value and such wonderful food! read more

I've been looking for someplace authentic. Found it in Jalapeño. The people eat here. Good food. Friendly service. I'll be back soon. read more

I got the chimichanga and it was very good The server did a good job she didn't speak English though so it was a little hard to communicate I would definitely go back in the prices were really reasonable read more

Always fresh and great service. A hidden gem in Georgetown DE. I truly enjoy their street tacos

Wonderful little authentic restaurant. It's small, cluttered and delicious. Every customer that comes in rings an annoying chime; there's a lot of take out going on here. Portions are fine, the prices are great. The food is REALLY tasty. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Poor service , They gave me a hair in a soup and the waiter thought it was funny The food is far from authentic Mexican food. read more

Holy Mole. With religious sayings on the walls and kick ass food.... It is apropos. A totally rando stopover on a road trip, and Yelp has delivered another surprising meal. This place is the real deal... grab yourself some authentic Delewareian cuisine. read more

Omg, all my years of looking for Manudo Soup with cows feet i have found it. Just like I had in Guadalajara, Mexico and Reu, Guatemala.

Hidden in an unassuming main street storefront, behind a name that just screams "this is a chain restaurant!", we found the best Mexican food we've had yet. And we've eaten a lot of Mexican food. Don't just order from the wall photos, take the time to peruse the menu. The meals are authentic, delicious, and served quickly. The yellow rice is a welcome change from the more common red rice, too. My husband and I make excuses to go to Georgetown just so we can have lunch at Jalapenos. We are planning to have breakfast there soon because they have some awesome-sounding breakfast menu items, and I know that we won't be disappointed. read more

Jalapeño Restaurant - chicken and cheese quesadillas - Mexican Near Me

See all

We came looking for a cheap, delicious dinner and we found it here! This place is a small, no frills restaurant with a handful of tables and street parking out front. Our server was so nice and accommodating and gestured for us to sit at one of the tables (because we weren't sure if we were supposed to order at the register). Their menu is pretty extensive, and they serve breakfast as well but we were only in town for one day, otherwise we definitely would have come back. Their tacos were amazingly priced and generously laden with toppings. Their homemade jalapeno sauce, which they served on the side, definitely had a kick to it! Not sure if they serve alcohol, since i didn't see any in the beverage fridge. We saw a few tourists stop by but leave after seeing the inside of the place. I guess it wasn't Americanized and upscale enough. Too bad, more tacos for me! Also saw a lot of people come by and pick up takeout orders. Love this place. Only wish we had one where I live. read more

This was a great surprise! Simple, authentic and delicious home style cooking. Generous servings, excellent value. Service was friendly and attentive. Complimentary chips with fresh made guacamole and pico degallo. I would highly recommend. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Happy to find an authentic restaurant in southern Delaware. The chicken fajita was excellent. Tacos were tastier and cheaper than other places in Rehoboth Beach and Lewes. read more

Awesome food. We ordered the chicken enchiladas in green sauce, whole fried fish and the beef soup....absolutely yummy. This is my new go to place for Hispanic cuisine. I would've given 5 stars if they had more attentive waitresses. Young ladies were nice, but never came back to the table after taking our orders and bringing the food back. We will return because the food is worth the price. read more

I shoot pool at Georgetown Billiards and they don't serve food so we get take out here quite a bit. The pricing is great for the portions. The food itself is flavorful and its the spot. It is not like Chinese food after eating their food here I feel full and satisfied. Yes from time to time they forget to put in the sour cream a harmless mistake. I never have to wait long to be served or to pick up the food. And what I like most is... the short(ish) guy behind the counter, not sure if he is the owner or manager, always greets with a smile. He is always kind and when they do forget the sour cream always eager to remedy the situation. Great place I think :) read more

This is a great place to grab some authentic food! I stopped in for takeout and was not disappointed. I ordered the cheese pupusas, which came with a side of rice and beans. The pupusas were delicious! They had thicker dough than other pupusas I've had (not by much)--just an observation. The rice was very flavorful too. These were my favorite pupusas that I've had in Sussex County so far! read more

Jalapeño Restaurant - Mexican Near Me

Food is cheap, fast, and delicious. Go here for lunch instead of a fast food joint. The staff are always friendly. It could be cleaner, especially the bathroom. read more

Excellent food at an affordable price. Don't let the restaurant condition fool you. Food is great!

Ordered take out and was told it will take 40 minutes. Arrived prior to the time and was told the order wasn't ready. Waited there for another 45 minutes with no updates from the workers there and decided to leave. What a waste of time and lousy service from the restaurant. read more

The beans. What are they. Maybe this is just my personal opinion. They only told me they were out of the items I wanted when I got there to pay. ): read more

My girlfriend and I were passing by Georgetown on the way home from Assateague Island. It was late and we wanted to get dinner, so we stopped here for a quick bite. We were surprised with the quality of food and the cantaloupe Agua Fresca we had was refreshing. Tasted like an authentic home cooked meal. Great value, would recommend to any traveler. read more

Jalapeño Restaurant - Fajita Mix at Jalepeno, also came with a side of tortillas not pictured - Mexican Near Me

Don't the name frighten you. This storefront serves flavorful, fresh Hispanic food without over-spicing it. Picante and hot sauce are available on the table, if you want to add some fire. The entrées are all made on-site. Ingredients are fresh, right down to the salad fixings, and well-prepared. We had the chicken fajitas and beef chimichanga. Both were delicious and good-sized portions. But be careful of the little grey-green 1 oz. cup that they put on the side; it is pure evil heat. Our server was pleasant and helpful. Spanish is not required; there are numerous photos and bi-lingual descriptions. The place is small; 10 or so tables. Ambiance is non-existent, but the place is clean and well-kept. Two entrées and beverages ran about $20, plus tip. No bar, not even a soda fountain. You pick your bottled drink from the upright cooler. Hours are 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, seven days. I whole-heartedly recommend Jalopeno for terrific Hispanic food, lunch or dinner. read more

We were the only gringos! Their mole chicken is sooo delicious! I also liked their chili renello. If you like Spanish food, give them a try.

Excellent food, especially for the value. This place is definitely worth going out of the way to visit. Staff is very friendly and the service is quick Tacos are awesome, 3 different types, great potion sizes. If this place was closer to were I live I would be here just about every day. read more

Very good, well priced home made Mexican food. The Burritos are very good. The portions are sizeable as well. The gentleman who normally works the register is always very polite, friendly and courteous. I go at least 2-3x a week for lunch since I moved here to Sussex County. read more

Finally, the little hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant with homemade cooking! It has taken me 2 1/2 Years living on the Eastern Shore to find this place! read more

This place is amazing!!!!! Great food Great flavor Hot snakes in effect!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Will be back no doubt!!!!! read more

This is an authentic restaurant with staff keeping tables clean and taking orders. But the biggest challenge was the many flies. We ordered chicken fajitas and 2 fish and 2 beef tacos. The fajitas included good flavorful chicken with peppers and onions and small corn tortillas, liquidy retried beans which I skipped, yellow rice which was good and salad with dressing which I used on my fajitas. My husband did not like the soft corn tacos and said the tacos didn't taste good. They had too much guacamole. We liked that they had cans of coke and Pepsi . I would consider trying some of the other items, but I would do takeout. read more

Great little place! We were traveling to Fenway and stopped here for lunch. We all shared 10 tacos ($20) and they were so good! They have so many options, even tounge tacos! Highly recommend the place. read more

This place was amazing. Just in town for three days and was looking for somewhere delicious to eat. First I went to harvest diner but just from the outside I was repulsed. This restaurant was our second choice and man am I glad it was. Service is fantastic and the food even better. Super cheap super delicious and huge servings. Two people with 3 drinks, $25!!! Recommend to anyone looking for some authentic Mexican food. read more

Jalapeño Restaurant - Diablo Camarones - Mexican Near Me

I can't say enough about this place! Not fancy but clean and friendly. The food is some of the best I have had! I can't wait to go back. Warning... The hot sauce is HOT!! But delicious!!! read more

I had take out. The portions were generous and delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Superb, AUTHENTIC Mexican food. The tortillas are homemade and super-delicious by themselves, but even better in the tacos. The caldo de res was fabulous, tender beef and vegetables in a tasty broth with rice and onions on the side. Best burrito we've ever had -- full of beef. Friendly, fast service. Nothing fancy ambience-wise, but where else could 2 people eat like this for $20??!! read more

We thought we were going to a Mexican restaurant and to our surprise it was Guatemalteco (Guatemala). We loved it. The food was delicious. Very casual and not fancy at all but plenty of good food. Recommend it for people looking to try something authentic. read more

This place is great, and a authentic meal. However, don't come here if you expect a heavily Americanized dining experience every time. I saw a lot of ignorance from some customers due to fact that drinks are self serve . If you want a dining experience that is more 'American', go to a chain restaurant and have average food. However, if you want pleasant staff, generous portions, and great food, come here. I haven't ordered anything not from the breakfast menu (which I have been able to have all times of day) and I want to, but the divorced eggs are so good they keep on pulling me back. My company has enjoyed specifically the steak enchilada and fajitas. This restaurant is truly a gem of southern Delaware. Honestly can't say how many Mexican restaurants down here can hold a candle to this place. read more

My wife and I have had dinner and breakfast at Jalapeno Restaurant several times. We cannot rave enough about the service and food! I recommend this fine establishment to all! read more

The only Mexican restaurant to dine. I live in the neighborhood and frequent Jalapeño. It is delightful, warm and inviting. Not fancy but would rather have great food any day. The people are all nice and sweet. Sandy and Tom read more

Cameron Diabla! good people,good food. They are always happy to see you. They stay busy for a reason.

This is just a little storefront diner type place. Nothing fancy at all and no alcohol available. However, the food is outrageously good! The grilled shrimp fajita was the best grilled shrimp we've had anywhere, plain or fancy. The beef burrito was slow stewed Chuck steak, not ground beef and it wasn't swimming in melted cheese. Gives the feeling that someone's Mexican mom is in the back cooking. And dinner for two came to a whopping $20. Highly recommend! read more
