Hands down the best al pastor tacos in the area! Whether you're hitting the truck at Lowe's in Concord or the Shell station in Pittsburgh, the quality is consistently outstanding. The al pastor tacos and nachos are absolutely to die for -- bold flavors, generous portions, and everything on the menu is a winner. We've even hired the truck to cater a couple of parties and they never disappoint. If you're looking for incredible food from a taco truck that truly delivers, look no further. You simply cannot go wrong! read more

Delicious! We've been going to Mr. Jalapeño for years. We usually get the cubano torta. Today, they had a Valentine's Day special, a heart shaped torta. We got that with asada, an al pastor super burrito and a side of rice and beans. Everything was on point! Friendly service, too! read more

We were at another restaurant and the waitress asked us if we had ever heard of Mr jalapeno food truck. Of course we had never tried it. So we decided to check it out. And I now have a new spot. It was really good. And I personally recommend this food truck to any one looking for some good ole fashioned Mexican grub!!!! I had the apastor tacos, They are street tacos and not big, But very delicious. read more

I ordered 7 tacos assuming they were $2.50 like the board said, but ended up paying $4 per taco which isn't a huge deal thinking they should be a decent size for that price. They were basic street taco size which is really small. The torta was big so I got about 1/4 of it and it tasted good and filled me up. The food took a while to prepare considering we were the only ones outside at the time but the service was really hospital and polite. I like supporting local businesses so I might pull up again for a torta or try a burrito but I can't see myself ordering the tacos again unless the price point changes or they give bigger portions read more

Mr Jalapeño - I ate 7 of these (2x chicken, 2x pastor, 3x asada) - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Okay, yum. There's no plethora of bangin' Mexican food trucks in Pittsburg, so you're going to have to hold on to your hats and take what you can get, frankly. But Mr. Jalapeño's food staples are all actually pretty decent, and their horchata is relatively on point as well. As a vegetarian, I can't attest to every facet of their butcher skills, but I can say that if my picky-as-all-get-out brother-in-law will eat a carne asada burrito from them, you're probably gonna be A-okay my friend. I believe they've also worked up the customer base to build a brick-and-mortar store, which is also a good sign. They have a sizable menu, so selections are a-plenty, and their staff seem polite enough even when they're pretty slammed (which is often). The worst time to visit (in terms of both the wait and the consistency in quality) also seems to be the time you'd be most likely to crave the taste: late night. But, if you're willing to wait and roll the dice, hit 'em up. read more

I love this place! Its our go to mexican food! Its not your typical mexican food you get anywhere. The combination of all the topping they offer is just perfect. Thier meat is never too salty but always tender. Another reason I love this place. Last time I ordered on a busy night a homeless person approached the truck. Typically when a homeless person show up the owner or a worker would shoo them away but for the guys at Mr. JALAPENO they nicely offer the homeless guy a nice decent food. Its just so lovely to witness humilty. read more

I absolutely love this taco spot. I commute from Stockton to Concord for work, and every time I come here, the food is just amazing. The burritos are perfectly balanced, and the tacos are incredible. They never mess up my order, and the crew is always so friendly. It really feels like going to a family's house. I eat here weekly, and I can't recommend them enough!! read more

After a rather long day, which culminated in shopping at Lowe's for a variety of things, I was way too "peopled out"and only wanted to go home. I was also starving. I spied the taco truck in front of Lowe's and ordered two chicken tacos. I devoured them. I might have inhaled them. They were beyond delicious. All fresh ingredients, flavorful, limes, cucumber, grilled onion and jalepeno strips on the side. I would drive across town just to go to that taco truck again. Awesomely legit food. A "must try." read more

My favorite place to get yummy Mexican food. We have been coming here for the last 6-7 years. I always get the El Pastor (soo delicious) and my hubby always gets the carna asada burritos. Some times the burritos can be on the smaller side but the flavors and freshness of the food is the reason I continue to return not to mention the speedy service. I haven't been disappointed with anything I've order from Mr Jalapeño! read more

Mr Jalapeño - El pastor burrito... absolutely delicious so flavorful. - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Food truck review! Before the pandemic, we had a single generic foodtruck at our workplace M-F for breakfast and lunch. It was ran by two nice Vietnamese ladies and they crank out decent Mexican food and occasional weekly specials and even rice plates. They must have been there for like 5-10 years, but have since disappeared between 2021-2022. Maybe they retired from all that business we gave them, LOL! Nowadays, our workplace hosts a random gourmet food truck T-Th. Prices are higher for sure, but the variety and quality has increased too. Mr. Jalapeno is one of my favorite options for Mexican food, especially quesadillas! Quesadillas are my favorite Mexican dish for a variety of reasons: 1. Not as dense or filling as a burrito 2. Not as light or messy as tacos, where you need 3-4 to get full 3. Not as messy as a tortas, where sauce can often leak everywhere 4. Does not require utensils unlike a burrito bowl or rice plate. There's something perfect with having cheese and grilled meats fused together and sandwiched between two flour tortillas that are both crispy yet soft as you chew them. Cut them up into neat triangular wedges and you get a no-mess, easy to eat lunch that's perfect. Both pastor and chicken are excellent, and I'm looking to try the rest of their meat options. Also enjoy the small sides of chips, grilled sweet onions, and yes the grilled jalapeno. Although the jalapeno is not the spiciest pepper out there, it brings plenty of heat for me! read more

Went here on a whim and took me a second to find it -- it's to the right of Aaron center tucked at the back of the parking lot-- definitely worth it and everything made fresh - they were great with service and worth the drive! Definitely check it out and we had the pastor and carne asada and both were delicious read more

We ordered the carne asada super burritos and they were delicious and the service was awesome!

Been here several times before, but I must give them some serious props. The breakfast burritos are more of a meal in a tortilla. Everything in their burritos is tasty and plentiful. The food is fresh and good. Make sure you stop by their food truck or their establishment on Railroad. Support your local establishments. read more

My review is for the steak taco. It was seasoned soooooo well. I'm so impressed. It's been raining like crazy so I'll go back and take pics once the weather clears up. So good! read more

Carne asada burrito, the truck chef was nice but the steak wasn't what I thought. Next time I'll ask that he cooks it a little longer on grill. Otherwise it get a 7 of 10. Nice attitude however read more

Amazing Pastor. Beautifully prepared burrito. Perfect amount of sweet savory and smoky/char on meat. Love the grilled almost candied like pineapple pieces that add to accent the rest of the ensemble. Only downside is the hours aren't reliable in yelp. They should be adjusted. read more

Mr Jalapeño - Al Pastor Burrito (BYOB) not sold there - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Wow. I had a 10/10 experience here tonight. Their tacos are by far the best tacos I've had in all of the East Bay. I'm writing this Yelp review as I finish my last taco bite. I had the chicharrón taco and the al pastor taco. if you like pineapple on a pizza, then you like pineapple on your al pastor taco. Trust me. The first impression my boyfriend and I had was how modern and clean the aesthetic of the truck was. The windows were impeccably clean, the truck was bright with a clear view of the al pastor trompo on the inside. The young girl at the register is a gem! She was the sweetest thing, she explained what her favorite picks are, she recommended we try the tripa taco next (we plan to become regulars now) and she gifted me a soda can while I was looking for a $1. I wish them nothing but success and a strong flow of business, this small truck really deserves the recognition for how amazing they are! read more

Mr Jalapeño - On the left, chicharrón tacos and to the right, al pastor tacos with pineapple. - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, California

I wish I had the guts to walk out of this place when I sat down and got strange vibes. Worst food ever. I'm pretty sure they served me meat they couldn't or didn't sell at the food truck they run. The waitress literally argued with me about the quesadill having shredded chicken... it's printed in the description of their menu. She insisted it was just going to be "grilled chicken " this time. Aka our left over meat. Please don't waist your time or money here! read more

Best tacos /Burritos in ptown,so so good kinda pricey but so worth it 10/10 I LOVE IT AHHHHH

Bad service also, mean employees the food was bland but most of all my taco was raw, so I had to go get an ambulance. read more

Mr Jalapeño - Raw meat - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, California

The BEST AL PASTOR in town! So glad I found this spot! Al pastor is my all time favorite, so you can imagine how juiced I was when I walked up to the truck and saw the juicy marinated pork on the spit, topped with pineapple so all of those juices just run into the meat. *drool* My go to orders are typically Al pastor tacos or the super burrito, you can't go wrong with either. Always get the pineapple, always. It's the only way.. I mean, pineapple and pork, a match made in Heaven. Am I right? I'm here about once a week, it's that good! Go try for yourself! read more

Al pastor as legit as it comes... real deal flavors, nice big and meaty slices, chunks of delish pineapple... super nice staff, ample parking, quick service.... VERY clean kitchen and truck!!! Comes with chips and salsa (the red one is fire, beware!), limes, jalapeños, some kind of melon, and onions (which, if I could be picky, could have been roasted a tad more)!!! My only "problem" was holding back on eating so I could take a snap shot! Lol I'll be back soon! Also: if you guys read these Yelp reviews, your title is one long word and doesn't show up in a Yelp search.... add a space between Mr. and Jalepeño! read more

I am new to Pittsburg and I wanted to try this place so when they were added to DoorDash, I decided this was the perfect time! I would never order from there again and based on my first time experience. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it only had about 6 pieces of steak, tiny pieces of steak at that! It was filled with mainly rice and beans, barely any steak, literally 6 small pieces of steak!!!! The pieces are cut really small and idk if it's the same dining in or if they are just trying to get over on DoorDash orders. I paid for extra sour cream and it was barely any sour cream even with the extra, it's like they used a teaspoon to put the sour cream. I felt so played getting a burrito through them, I have never had a burrito this skimpy of meat. It was okay if you want a bean and rice burrito, but if you are looking for a carne asada burrito, don't get it from here, they are charging rice and bean burritos as carne asada burritos, I am really disappointed, I woke up the next day feeling disappointed that I paid for a steak burrito and only got 6 pieces of small steak, very small steak cut into 6 pieces, that's crazyyyyy! I guess 1 star for the dasher for getting it here fast! read more

My son was craving a burrito so, I Just gave this place a try since it's close to home. I got the super burrito and my son was not disappointed. It was a little too spicy for him, but it was so good that he killed it. He was dying from the spiciness lol. read more

I paid $13 for a super burrito that wasn't super at all.. Reminded me of a regular sized burrito,and I've had some SUPER BURRITOS from all over Pittsburg/Bay Point.. But Mr J has some good food,but I need that SUPER SIZE BURRITO.. I can imagine how small your regular burrito is...‍ read more

I found this place driving by. The menu and prices are on the board when you walk up. The customer service was really good and the guy took his time to explain everything. There is a large window so you can see when they are making your food. Service is fast. The food was really good and well priced. This place is definitely worth trying. read more

Hands down THE BEST taco truck I've ever been to and I've been to quite a few. So flavorful and spice level just right for me (Spicy spicy). I ordered 3 al pastor tacos and when I tell you they made my mouth water after the first bite... I mean it. After I was done I was literally yearning for more! It's that good My boyfriend got a carne Asada super burrito and he said the exact same thing. Flavors on 100 and perfectly spicy I seriously cannot wait to come back, however I will be back very soon!! read more

Pretty good food decent service, which was more focused on dine in rather than takeout so that's the times were in. Great start for weekends and to get food for the entire family. read more

Too much rice inside burrito's and chicken could be seasoned. I feel like it's never a real flavor to it. Sprinkle some cumin or chipotle or something on it!!! read more

The food is delicious. The service is super friendly and quick! I have no complaints. The al pastor was juicy and flavorful. I was also impressed with how much flavor was packed into a tiny asada taco! If you love eating tiny food, the mini cut tortilla chips will leave you craving for more! read more

Friendly service but the carne asada was soooo salty. I mean it felt like the whole salt container fell on their marinade.

Hands down the best tacos. I live in sac and every time I come out that way to visit my bestie we go straight to Mr Js. It's our spot! I wish I captured the first bite of their tacos. For me, it's all about how well the meat is seasoned and their carne is FIRE! My favorite place that makes me want to drive out from Sacramento every week lol read more

If you're a fan of the sort of super delicious tacos that you can only get from a food truck parked next to a gas station, this place is for you! The food is great and affordable! read more

I have lived in Pittsburg 15 years and only this year have tried this place. Boy oh boy I have been missing out. This truck has GREAT customer service. The guy who takes your order is always so happy you're there. Very warm and inviting. 3 tacos runs about $10 bucks. They are flavorful and worth a try. I also tried the al pastor nachos but the thing I like most is the sweetness of the pineapple as you bite and taste the green salsa with the juicy al pastor meat, the freshness of cilantro and onions. ALWAYS super yummy. Fast, quick and filling. Don't judge the fact their truck is parked in the Shell Gas station parking lot, this place is #Yum read more
