    I ate 7 of these (2x chicken, 2x pastor, 3x asada)
    Ramiro H.

    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

    The Truck
    Jolarica R.

    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.

    Carne and pastor tacos. So good!

    First time trying this food truck. Was craving tacos. The pastor with pineapple so good! Very nice people with great service! Found a new spot!

    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!!

    Great food and service! Each dish was packed with flavor and a spicy kick! Plenty of parking and pretty fast service as well!

    El pastor burrito... absolutely delicious so flavorful.

    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!

    Pastor Quesadilla (5 stars)
    Daniel C.

    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!

    Al Pastor Burrito  (BYOB) not sold there
    Bronson C.

    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.

    On the left, chicharrón tacos and to the right, al pastor tacos with pineapple.
    Penélope C.

    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!

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

And when we did order our desert we asked for the CARAMEL churros and she brings us it with Chocolate....when I asked for the caramel and not the chocolate she said "oh we don't have caramel, but it still says that on the menu" not even really an apology either to that. I did start out to give this a 4 start but due to the experience of feeling rushed, I'm giving it a 3 star. Food again was cooked so so well! Yea after careful consideration and not being the only one who noticed lol this place is kinda racist. It was VERY obvious how my mother in law and i were treated compared to the other customers.

I must admit I was jealous of her tacos as they were still unbroken after removing them from the wrap they're served in because it seems every time I've ordered their crispy tacos the shell always breaks open and splits at the bottom. Very disappointing. The taco salad was very tasty with all of my favorites included. We enjoy eating here and my only real complaint is their carne asada soft taco that comes filled with whole pinto beans besides the meat. I don't understand this and to me it really doesn't add to the taco. I didn't know they served them like this or I would have requested no to the beans and I love whole and refried beans, but not in my tacos! Their restaurant is colorful with wonderfully painted or printed images of Mexican life. The staff always seem quite friendly and they are usually very busy. Plus they serve carveza! Their salsa bar doesn't do it for me though, whats supposed to be their mild, Pico de Gallo is too liquidity and as much as I use to enjoy spicy food my 68 y/o body just cannot tolerate it anymore, especially on the way out one day I hope to order their anaconda burrito to share with some friends

    I love this place, but this visit absolutely sealed the deal all over again…read more We ordered the carne asada super burrito and it was perfection. It was packed with flavorful, juicy meat and had the ideal ratio of beans, rice, and cheese -- every bite was balanced and satisfying. No skimpy filling here. Just a beautifully built burrito done right. The chips and guacamole were just as impressive. The chips came out hot, thin, and perfectly fresh -- that light crisp that shatters just right. The guacamole tasted bright and fresh, clearly made with care and real ingredients. We also tried the pastor torta, and wow. It was loaded with tender, well-seasoned meat, and the bread was soft, fresh, and toasted perfectly. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside -- exactly how a torta should be. Every component worked together so well. And the piña agua fresca? Super fresh and refreshing -- the perfect complement to everything we ordered. We come here often, but this time we switched it up and tried the burrito -- and it did not disappoint. This is easily one of the best taquerias in town. Consistently delicious, generous portions, and clearly made with pride. We'll definitely be back (soon!) to try the quesabirria. So grateful to have a spot like this in town.
