    Pork chop
    Alan J.

    Been coming here a lot lately. The dogs are best in town. The drinks esp the mojino are amazing. The tacos off the hook. Tostadas look and taste out of this world. The pollo is flavored to addiction. Today i had the pork chop plate. You have to see the this beleice it. It could feed three. The chops are tender and juicy, the ham tacos were joined with pineapple among peppers onions, and other come together to make yum stuff. Outstand service caps the experience here and that why ive been back so often.

    Have been here now several times with family and friends for brunch and dinner. The food is so delicious, the drinks are great, the workers are friendly and welcoming, and it's a super cute place that you have to try. All seating is outside and the area is somewhat small, but you're surrounded by greenery with shade. They have Taco Tuesday and Tostada Thursday where you can get their amazing food for great prices. Lots and lots of meat option to choose from. My favorite tacos to get are carnitas, pollo con mole, tinga de pollo, and rajas. They also have some of the best chilaquiles around! Huge menu with things I still want to try.

    Pork on red sauce tostadas, ceviche tostadas
    Chau P.

    This is one of my favorite casual eats in Sacramento. Came here for tostada Thursdays where each tostada is $2. For the special, you'd have to order at least two tostadas and a drink. My favorites are the pork in sauce, ceviche, and steak in dark sauce. Employees are nice as always. They are super friendly and outgoing. Cams around 7:50 pm and it was extremely slow. It looks like the business is struggling. Come support jalapeños!

    Omg!!! It was 10pm that we arrived here were my husband and I was looking for a place to dine in. Upon looking in Gloogle saw this Jalapeños place and the pictures helped a lot. This place is awesome. Of course the dine in experience is outside and they don't have inside sitting. The food was delicious. One hot dogs Mexican style and one is pizza. They were delicious. Do I recommend?? Yes!!!

    Came here for $2.25 Taco Deal, and it was also raining this past Tuesday. I didn't know this place only had outdoor seating. The tacos were pretty good. The deal also requires a minimum 3 order plus a drink, so I got a horchata too. My only downside was that some of our party was confused while ordering, so some of us ordered takeout which doesn't cover the deal. We initially ordered takeout because of no seating, so it was regular plus (+ a 20% discount.) We ended up finding seats, and asked if we can switch our price to the dine in cheaper price. They initially said yes, but retracted their statement. We were offerred a consolation dessert of buñelos, but waited an extra 15 minutes for. I'd probably come back in the summer when the weather is warmer, but i had an interesting experience

    Veggie Street Tacos

    I've been wanting to check out Jalapeños for awhile now and finally had the time this past Taco Tuesday! They have one of the best deals that I know of in the area at $2.25/taco. Located in Midtown so there's only street parking in the area but we were able to get some prime parking right in the front. Plenty of outdoor seating and honestly really good service! My partner and I were so indecisive because there were so many options but the cashier helped us pick and we really loved what we got. We ordered 3 carne asada tacos, 1 papas con chorizo, 1 tinga de pollo, steak in dark sauce, and the other veggie tacos. Everything was a 10/10 and the flavors for each taco were wonderful. Will definitely be back for taco Tuesday or even their tostada Thursday!

    Michelada
    Karina C.

    Great food, great customer service, & great ambiance. I love coming to Jalapeños. Everyone is so kind & welcoming. They're super quick to bring food and drinks too. I personally love their micheladas & pizza doggos. I also enjoy their breakfast sopes & french toast (brunch menu). I recommend this spot to people all the time!

    I love everything here from the food, service and ambiance! Seating is outdoor only but it's great for a cozy hangout. They have $2.25 Taco Tuesdays and $2 Tostada Thursdays (both dine-in only and order minimum). Great deals for the amount of food you get, they don't skimp on the protein at all. Staff is always super outgoing and offers recommendations. They deserve all the business!

    tostadas
    Anh H.

    My friend recommended for me to come here for their Tostadas Thursdays and it did not disappoint!! A great price for how much food youre getting. Great vibes to sit down and thoroughly enjoy your food. I would recommend to come during the night time and also for their taco tuesdays!

    Jordan M.

    Jalapeños is so delicious. I've been here multiple times. They have amazing deals everyday but Tuesday is taco Tuesday and Thursday is tostada Thursday! Their brunch menu is phenomenal. I've had chilaquiles and their breakfast burrito, both were so delicious. The service is friendly and efficient.

    mulitas
    Kaylei A.

    Yummy, cheap, homemade. First time coming here on a Saturday night at 9:00 pm. They have happy hour specials so make sure to get in for those! You will order at counter and take a number to your table where staff will bring it to you. It is a small place, there is plenty of outdoor seating, but none indoor, so keep that in mind. Jalapeños has multiple heaters outside that staff is happy to turn on for you. The service is literally unbeatable. I would come again just for the authenticity and passion Alejandro (Alex) at the counter had for this restaurant and their food. His knowledge of the restaurant, their dishes and his great customer service made this a 5/5 for me. I tried the mulitas plate with rice and beans. Ohhhhh my godddddddd.... you need this. Heaven on a homemade tortilla. My friend got their fries and ate the whole plate. Everything tastes authentic - the horchata is fabulous too. Do not pass up this spot!!

    One of my favorite $20 meals every Thursday in Sacramento. 10/10
    Sam S.

    I love this place so much. If there is anything you should trust me on do this: Anytime on Thursday (dine in only) bring $20 and get 4 ground beef tostadas. They run a special every Thursday for $2 with a drink, I grab a soda water. I think about these all week, and if you want to get 5 that $20 will still cover it. 10/10

    Street Sopes with carnitas
    Amber V.

    Located right next to Zelda's Pizza, so it's street parking only which can be a pain especially since it's downtown. This place looks more like a house, as it's decorated in lots of plants as you walk through the gate. Inside where you order super tiny so there is no indoor seating. Depending on the weather, this too can be a pain in butt. We came around 9pm on a Tuesday and it was getting a little cold outside but the man who took our order (I believe he may have been the owner) was very nice and wheeled over a large outdoor heater to help keep us warm. He was also very patient with us while taking our order and even made a few recommendations. We opted for the rajas con queso tacos, and sopes with carnitas, tinga and Chicken along with a side of beans and rice. I will say I was a little bummed with the meat choices. They only offered variations of chicken, carnitas and asada; but no pastor or adobada. Food was decent tho. I enjoyed my carnitas sopes, they were loaded with meat and their salsa was good. My husband also enjoyed his tinga sopes but said the plain chicken sope was a little dry. I was hoping the rajas con queso would have been with Oaxaca cheese but they used queso fresco so it wasn't melty but still was ok tasting. I was not a fan of the plain white rice with corn, zero flavor so we poured some salsa over it. The beans with chorizo were good and like the little squirt of mole sauce on top. Overall, for the price and quality of food, we would for sure come back. I really want to try their mole next time.

    What time do they have $1 tostadas on Thursdays? Or is it all day?

    They are all day.

    Do they homemake their tortillas?

    I don't know . I do know that Ponchos on Broadway does though .

Each taco had a generous amount of meat, was well-prepared, and tasted fresh. The real game changer, though, was adding the jalapeño cream sauce along with a few salsas from the salsa bar which took the tacos to another level. If I could, I'd give this place 6 stars just for that! Also, I'd recommend the cucumber lime agua fresca drink. It tasted refreshing and the perfect amount of each flavor. Their menu has a great variety of options, and I noticed several people ordering the dinner plates, which looked absolutely massive. I also saw them bring out a sizzling hot skillet that I could hear from a few tables down. You definitely get your money's worth here. The service was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly fast. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the salsa bar was fresh, organized, and full of appetizing choices. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    We finally had time off again on a Sunday to come and enjoy thier yummy Sunday Brunch…read more Everything tasted amazing! Wish I could eat more I would of tried more dishes. Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas. She asked what meat I wanted to make street tacos. That's fine the pork tasted very good. But I like plain tortillas with the eggs and other dishes. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures.

The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd. Way better value and the food quality is on par with el tapatio but with five star service!

Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.

It's always been a busy place and sometimes hard to get into before a show, but the service was always great. This time we sat outside, which actually had a really nice view of the Golden 1 entrance. Our waiter was really nice and courteous, but it was pretty obvious he was doing the job of about three people. He did the best he could and stayed friendly the whole time, but when you're spread that thin it's hard to stay on top of drinks, food coming out, checking on tables, etc. We didn't really hold that against him because it seemed much more like a staffing issue than anything he was doing wrong. One of the things I've always liked about Polanco is their carafe of Palomas. We ordered one at the bar and then another at the table. When we got the bill, we noticed an extra charge for four cups. After looking at it again, we realized that after paying $48 for a carafe, you're also being charged for the cups you drink it out of. That is honestly one of the most ridiculous charges I've ever seen at a restaurant. I've always really liked this place, so it was disappointing. Being short staffed is one thing, but that's a management issue, not the waiter's fault. Charging people extra for cups after they just bought a $48 carafe of cocktails is just wild. This review does not refer to their food, ambiance, decor or staff. Unfortunately this has to do with under staffing (managing issue) and now charging for CUPS
