    Mango chicken burrito
    Christina R.

    The burrito was delicious and the cashier was very friendly. Its a small place and you can eat in but they do not have a restroom (at least that's what I told when asked). I don't know how you can have tables for people to eat and no public restroom ‍

    Kid's cheese quesadilla
    Terri D.

    After reading all of the raving reviews on Facebook in community groups about this newly opened restaurant in town, we just had to try it out. Everyone said how deliciously authentic the food was and how friendly the those working there were. We had company over this weekend and thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try for take out. We even went as far as making our own piñata earlier in the week and our guests brought all of the ingredients to make margaritas to go with the meal. My husband placed the order over the phone and was told it would be ready in about 15 minutes. This is around 5pm on a Saturday night. We ordered the following: 3 duck burritos, a chicken burrito, chicken enchiladas, ground beef tacos, a kid's cheese quesadilla, 2 orders of salsa/chips/guac and 1 large queso. To my amazement, it came to a bit over $80. I'm sorry to say, it wasn't worth it. The burritos at $9-$10 each came with nothing along with it, just a burrito. Those who had them said they were delicious though. My chicken enchiladas were disappointing. It was very ground up chicken, not shredded. The enchilada itself was very dry, I think they forgot to add sauce on it, it just had cheese sprinkled on it. There was suppose to be two of them, unless they were very thin and stacked one on top of the other...I'm pretty sure there was just one. It came with rice and lettuce/pico de gallo. The rice was very bland and dry too. The quesadilla was lacking and also came with dry rice, our son wasn't a fan. The beef tacos, you get 2 of them open faced, just alright. The chips were good, queso was great, salsa too spicy and the guac was not freshly made...it was that shelf-stable pre-made kind. Yuck. When we placed the order we mentioned sour cream on the side, not on any of the dishes (like you'd expect it to come). We ended up not getting any sour cream whatsoever. Oh, that's because that's also a separate charge and now we see it listed under Sides on the menu. There is even a picture in their menu of quesadillas, in the picture it shows lettuce, guac, salsa and sour cream as if it all comes together. So a bit misleading. Needless to say, our company enjoyed their orders. Our margaritas and piñata bailed it out, but I kind of wish I had spent my $80 elsewhere in the end. Not sure if we'll be back.

He was attentive offering suggestions and when I mentioned it was my moms bday, he brought her out a tiramisù with a candle and we sang to her. No prompting, just genuine kindness. He suggested a sushi roll that was quite good when my mom explained she likes basic rolls and I was trying to spice it up. He brought us a crunch roll, with crab and shrimp tempura. It was delicious. We both had terryaki; my mom had the chicken and I had the steak. They were both amazing. The rice was flavorful and the proteins were delicious, the veggies nice and fresh. The miso soup honestly stole the show as it was literally perfect tasting. Not too watery, very strong and misoie. We will definitely be back when we're in the area

    Jalapeño Heaven is an authentic Mexican restaurant and lounge that opened in Branford, Connecticut…read morein May 1992. It was founded by husband and wife Hector & Gail Flores. Hector was born in Zacatecas, Mexico and immigrated to the United States when he was 18. Gail was born and raised in Branford but relocated to Florida as an adult. The couple met when Gail was managing a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. They soon married and relocated to Branford in 1985. They had dreams and aspirations of raising a family and opening their own restaurant. Their daughter Nicole was born in 1987 and the restaurant opened five years later. The menu features several authentic Mexican dishes including tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas, poblanos, asides, fajitas, and more. Jalapeńo Heaven is also well-known for their extensive selection of margaritas. My family and I recently had dinner at Jalapeño Heaven for Cinco de Mayo. This was my family's first visit, while I've been there numerous times. I think they are one of the best, most authentic Mexican restaurants in New Haven County. When you're there, you almost feel like you're at an awesome Mexican food party at someone's house. We started off with some of Jalapeño Heaven's signature margaritas. I had the "Ultimate Margarita" (Sauza Hornitos Plaza, Cointreau, lime juice, sour mix, topped with Grand Marnier) while my wife has a "Mango Margarita" (house margarita with mango puree). Our server also brought some complimentary tortilla chips with salsa to the table; they have some of the best chips around! For our entrees, I had the "Taco Salad" (crispy flour tortilla shell filled with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, olives, topped with sour cream and guacamole) with ground beef, my wife had the "Ala Street Taco Trio" (soft flour tortillas, one filled w/ ground beef, one w/ spicy shredded pork & one w/ shredded chicken, topped w/ lettuce, tomatoes and cheeses) with Spanish rice and black beans, our older son had a "Kids Grilled Shrimp Quesadilla" with smiley fries, and our younger son had the "Kids Chicken Tenders" with smiley fries. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! We finished off the meal with some complimentary churros. We plan on coming back to Jalapeño Heaven again and again!
