    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    Chicken tacos
    Catheryn M.

    Staff was great! I ordered chicken tacos; flavor was good but food was cold - too hungry to wait for a new order). Maggie margarita was refreshing!

    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

    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 .

Complimentary corn tortilla chips, salsa, and refried bean dip with cheese. I loved the REFRIED BEAN DIP! I ordered the Steak a la Chicana. I didn't read or listen carefully enough that the skirt steak with sauteed onions and bell peppers are covered in Spanish sauce. The sauce is actually quite tasty with a little kick. I used it and the salsa to flavor the black beans. However, I really just wanted grilled steak. I should have ordered steak fajitas, a grilled steak burrito or quesadilla, or a carne asada plate. The Steak a la Chicana was a generous portion, which is definitely 2 meals for me. Cilantro rice wasn't anything special. The SWEET CORN TAMALITO is yummy comfort. Choice of beans: refried beans, black beans, or pinto beans. I suspect refried beans is the tastiest option. El Tapatio would be a great gathering place for friends and family.

We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal!
