Esmeralda M.

Absolutely delicious!!! Super friendly service and dare I say, the best burritos in AZ?! We've been living here for a year now, and stumbled across Jalapeno bucks as we search for a new home. I've heard rave reviews and we were down the street so I HAD to Stop by and try, and boy it did not disappoint. If we lived down the street, I would maybe become a Jalapeno bucks addict. We ordered the red/green chili burrito 3 way with beans and cheese...the brisket egg and cheese, as welll as a bean and cheese. They were all SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! I saved half of my burrito so i like could eat it later. Officially one of my fav spots in A.Z!

Outside picnic bench's for eating there- no indoor seating.

Jalapeño Bucks is a local favorite--and it hits every single time! Today I went with my go-to order: the combo plate with brisket enchiladas (no beans, double rice), plus a side of mac salad and some salsa. Absolute perfection. The flavors are always on point, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. A perfect BBQ twist on Mexican classics that you won't find just anywhere. Pro tip: come when the weather's nice--it's outdoor seating only, and it makes the whole experience even better. If you're in the area and haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out. This spot never disappoints!

Don't sleep on the 3 way burrito. My fav
Vu N.

Still my favorite stop in az jalapeño bucks is so legit. And offers items that nobody else does 3 eat bean and cheese burrito. I don't even like bean ands cheese burrito but I love this one. Crave it all the time. Gooey cheeseyy flavorful. Nobody can duplicate this. Pro tip make sure you let it cool before trying. It needs to settle a bit or else it's too hot and messy Pbj Briscuit sand which. Sounds awful but taste amazing. It just works. In so many ways. 10 out of 10 I order this every time I come Parking sucks. Out of the way but I still make it here no matter what

Tables to sit out front

We happened to stop by Jalapeño Bucks on the way back home and I wish this place was closer because we would be there often! It was so good! There are a few tables outside and no indoor seating so this is a grab and go place in the thick of summer. The service was quick and we put it our order at the window and it was ready within 10 minutes or so. We got 2 bean and cheese burritos, a 3 way burrito which had red pork, green beef, beans and cheese and a greenie beanie. We did also get a side of potato salad. The bean and cheese burritos were good, nothing super exciting. The star was that greenie beanie burrito, the flavor on it was so good and these burritos are HUGE! Like 2 people can definitely eat off of one and the prices are super reasonable for what you get. The potato salad was actually so good as well. I will definitely grab more of that and try their other salads and mango salsa next time. Definitely a good stop for food!

3 way burrito
Julian E.

So I have only been here about 20 times and remember every time why I keep coming back. Today I got the 3 way burrito and again it was amazing. This thing is a hefty nice size and the amount of flavor that's packed in it makes it my favorite around. The beans have a light smokiness that climbs into your soul and is complemented by all that meat goodness. There is a ton of cheese too, every single bite had melted cheese in it. You can see in the pic the amount of cheese. This restaurant is fat person approved.

3 way burrito
Michael E.

Flavors strong, and distinct. Was a bit messy and full. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Outdoor eating had a bit of flys but was a nice out. Good stop after a ride

Brisket burrito
Brandon S.

Man I have been wanting to try this place for a few years now and finally made it here... the brisket burrito was just okay, too much beans, salsa was a little bland but the BBQ sauce was alright.

Ambiance
Sasha P.

From an Arizona native: Jalapeño Buck's is such a valley gem. Across the board, food is fantastic. Super sloppy to eat, but everything is delicious. My husband got the brisket sandwich (with jalapeños and honey mustard sauce) and said it might be the best brisket sandwich he's had in Arizona (he has had many). The green chile beef burrito is delicious (a tad floppy) but super filling and tasty. Service is good, fun to sit outside on an easy going day (they have misters under the shade). Pretty good bang for your buck, no pun intended.

Good but way too fatty. It's like eating a fart sandwich. Unfortunately the small pieces of meat are tasty but not into eating so much fat

Are there onsite bathrooms and can you order online?

I don't think you can order online and there are no public restrooms.

Do they allow dogs?

Unfortunately no. Dogs are not allowed. There are sings posted.

They don't have restrooms?

Yes, that is correct. I suspect (and hope) they do have restrooms, at least for employees. However, when I was there and asked "where are the restrooms" they said, "we don't have public restrooms." So, take that into account when visiting.…

We've developed favorites in several cities, particularly when it comes to authentic Texas-style BBQ. Since moving to Arizona, we've enjoyed exploring the local BBQ scene, including Little Miss BBQ. However, after our first visit to Caldwell County BBQ, we can confidently say we've found our new local favorite! From the moment we walked through the door, the experience was exceptional. We were greeted by Mason, who immediately made us feel welcome. When he learned it was our first visit, he took the time to explain the ordering process, describe the different meats, and share his personal recommendations. Even as the line grew behind us, he never made us feel rushed. He treated us as though we were the only guests there. Mason offered samples of the beef rib, brisket, and sausage, all of which were outstanding. He genuinely wanted us to experience the flavors before ordering. He explained that everything is served à la carte and prepared fresh daily. His enthusiasm was especially noticeable when describing the banana pudding, made fresh at 5 a.m. with bananas, homemade custard, and smoked vanilla beans. That attention to detail immediately impressed us. We ordered a pound of brisket, pulled pork and brisket sliders, green chile mac and cheese, corn casserole, pinto beans, and two absolutely massive beef ribs served with house-made chimichurri. The beef ribs were phenomenal! Incredibly tender, flavorful, and slightly sweeter than the brisket, they were easily among the best we've ever had. The chimichurri was equally impressive, bursting with fresh herbs and peppers. We honestly could have put it on everything! The green chile mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, with just enough chile flavor without overwhelming heat. The corn casserole was rich, thick, and buttery, while the pinto beans were perfectly tender with a subtle smokiness that wasn't buried under excessive seasoning. The brisket had beautiful bark, exceptional flavor, and was incredibly juicy without relying on excessive fat. The sliders, served on salted pretzel buns, may have been small enough to fit in your palm, but they were generously packed with meat. Don't underestimate them! For dessert, we enjoyed the banana pudding and sheet cake. The pudding was perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Learning that the vanilla beans are smoked and the wafers are buttered, baked, and layered into the pudding made us appreciate it even more. The sheet cake featured a tender layer of cake topped with rich fudge frosting and walnuts. Both were a wonderful ending to an incredible meal. But as exceptional as the food was, what truly set Caldwell County apart was the hospitality. Mason made a point to check on us during our meal, genuinely interested in hearing about our experience. That simple gesture meant a great deal. Throughout our visit, it was obvious that the entire team takes tremendous pride not only in the quality of their food but also in how they treat their guests. There is a meaningful difference between serving customers and making people feel genuinely valued. Caldwell County understands that difference. Every interaction felt personal, sincere, and unhurried. We never felt like another transaction or simply the next people in line. We felt appreciated, and that is something we'll remember long after the meal. In fact, before we had even finished eating, we were already telling family, friends, and fellow BBQ enthusiasts about our experience! Having enjoyed BBQ throughout the country, we can confidently place Caldwell County among our absolute favorites. The quality, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make this restaurant something special. We're already looking forward to returning next week with friends visiting from out of town. We sincerely hope Mason is there because we'd love for them to experience the same exceptional hospitality we received. To Mason and the entire Caldwell County team: Thank you for reminding us what genuine hospitality looks like. You've gained loyal customers, and we couldn't be happier to have discovered you here in Arizona! If we could give you a 20 out of 10, we absolutely would. Outstanding in every way!

However, I'm so glad that didn't deter us because this is easily the top 5 best BBQ spots I've ever been to--and that's including spots in Texas, Tennessee, etc. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures because I was so hungry, but we got the 2 Meat Plate with brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage with the Nacho Mama's mac and BBQ beans as our sides. We ate every. single. bite.!!! I mean.... No crumbs left behind! We had just smoked some pulled pork ourselves on the Traeger a few days before so we were porked out lol. Next time we're for sure trying that though. Now, for the sauces. Wow, just wow. All of them were delicious, but I love spicy food and mustard so the Fuego de Gringo and Lost Dutchman Gold sauces were my favorite. The ambiance was also super cute, too; very homey, southern flair with cute little signs, etc. I would give 6/5 stars if I could. GO HERE ASAP!

I did like how grabbing bread and the pickle bar is literally open, and the variety of sauces was a very nice touch. Unfortunately as delicious as the food was, I did feel it's a little salty, almost requiring the bread. I would very much recommend the brisket if you swing by here, definitely worth the $3 upcharge getting it in a combo plate.

Their setup is a walk in, get in line and order almost similar to Subway, but better tasting. I got a side of Mac and cheese and cornbread (not pictured, I ate it too fast). It's self seating and they had a ton of options! The second time I visited I ordered at the to go window and got the baked potato again. The window service was fast and the wait wasn't long.
