I never knew. 1 block further off the main blvd, on block, I've never been or seen it. In an unassuming small mini-mall, comes Jalapeno City. A nice little restaurant with tables and seating inside, moderately decorated, but with TV's, and what I hear, great for World Cup. The menu is full of great stuff. For me, for lunch this day, I got 3 carnitas "fried" tacos. The meat and the shell were great (made to order), and topped with cheese and lettuce. Excellent. Very nice service. I'll be back. read more

The food is amazing! I feel like I'm eating at home with my mom and grandma cooking. It is so good we drive up and down looking for it.

Menudo is amazing! Just like my Abuelita (Grandma). It's a little hole in the wall, but so good.

This is a hidden local gem! If you haven't visited you definitely should! It's our go to place for burritos, caldos and more. Check out their menu below and they deliver via Doordash, Grubhub as well. read more

Some of the best Carne Asada in the area- I've been getting their all meat asada burrito. It's been really good. I need to try the rest of their menu. It seems like their seafood is also really good. Definitely give them a try read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant - highly underrated. We always get the molcajete. They have three different kinds. The mixto and the carne are the best. Two of us comelones can eat a full meal twice for one order. It comes with tortillas, beans, and rice. The sides and the salsas are all so flavorful. Some mild and some super picosas. For a dinner it's such a great deal for the price. I'll keep coming here as long as I live in Paso. read more

hoy jueves fuimos a cenar y pedimos mi esposa un caldo de bagre que estaba bien salado sin sabor el peor caldo y yo un caldo de camarón igual salado y sin sabor muy malos la peor cena que tuvimos en este lugar read more

Mac and cheese was microwaved Kraft, it came in literal chunks, somehow was burnt. Food had absolutely NO taste, forgot drinks, tried charging us for drinks we didn't order and made jokes about (still trying to charge us) fish was stale literally burnt. Place was horrible, dirty, not pleasing wouldn't go unless you want food poisoning lol. read more

Authentic Mexican food. Good service. Servers were friendly and attentive. Prices average $11-$20 per plate. Lots of options for everyone. Cozy atmosphere. Casual dress suitable. Convenient parking. Worth trying if you want something authentic. read more

Stopped by Jalepeno City restaurant today for a light lunch. My wife and I shared the Carne Asada plate and were quite pleased. The meat was seasoned perfectly. The rice and beans was good but the rice was a little on the dry side. The service was fast and our server was very polite and helpful. She recommended the plate and it was delicious. You have to understand this place isn't fancy by any means but the food and service didn't disappoint. We'll most certainly be back. read more

The food is good, but I unfortunately stopped coming here due to sanitation issues - dirty silverware hair in food. Our waitress was in back distracted with the cook we had to wait awhile to get our drinks refilled read more

The service was ok. It was lunch time, 1pm, on a Saturday, the place was empty, this should be the first sign that the place wasn't that good. While we waited to decide what to eat, we nibbled on chips and salsa, the salsa not spicy, with a name like Jalapeño City, you would expect a little heat. While we looked over the menu, we noticed it was pricey for the location and atmosphere (torn seats and not that nice of a decor). I ordered Chile Verde, another order a burrito and another person ordered Menudo. None of us liked our meals. The rice was dry, the beans were ok. The sauce in the Chili Verde seemed like it came out of a can, no flavor. I will not return. I am not sure who these other people are who give it positive reviews. They must not have any taste buds. read more

Food is ok, service was great. I had a burrito and the wife had a cóctel de camarones. Rice is dry and I didn't really taste a flavor. The wife liked the cóctel. Won't be back, better places for Mexican food in the area. read more

If Polzole was your last meal. This is the place!! The food is good just a gem off of Park St

I staggered in there by chance, looking for a drink on one of those hot Paso days and found fresh agua frescas. Came back several times for the food! Fresh, authentic dishes, very tasty even for us chili-wimps.. I especially loved their chile rellenos, light and way above average, but really everything has been super. Very friendly service too. This is only a couple blocks off the overpriced strip aimed at the winery crowd, but well worth the detour. read more

Really good food and great customer service The inside of the restaurant was a surprise it was nice clean and inviting!I will take my family here regularly read more

I love this restaurant! It's a nice, casual, inexpensive, authentic Mexican restaurant. Not somewhere I'd take guests, but definitely somewhere I go when I don't feel like cooking. On Sundays we like to go for their menudo (and sometimes when it's leftover on Mondays). I also like their enchiladas, tortas, and burritos. The burritos are huge so we always share. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. read more

Great service, clean little Restaurant. With that said the Shrimp cocktail/Ceviche with Oysters wasn't up to par. The Ceviche I actually enjoyed, however the shrimp on the rim of the glass were spongy and extremely dried out. The oysters weren't great. Chips and salsa were good and the Guy helping us was super enjoyable! I'd give them another try and explore the menu a bit. Overall I was happy with the service and hope to be pleasantly surprised the next go around. read more

Order a Carne asada burrito with lite rice and beans, cheese and green salsa, not to demanding? Got a carnitas burrito stuffed full of lettuce. Great job. read more

I've tried the pastor, carnitas, and asada tacos here. ALL the tortillas were dry AF, which is the primary reason for 3 star rating. Pastor tacos: Decent flavor, but nothing to get excited about Carnitas tacos: Not crispy, just salty stewed meat. Asada tacos: Burned to a crisp Green salsa: Delicious, with enough spice, but not crazy spice Red salsa: Bland, and uses obviously canned tomatoes, which isn't necessarily bad, but the rest of the flavors weren't there to elevate the canned tomatoes. I won't be going back. read more

This place has the worst customer service. The girl working there is so rude and very unprofessional. The food is decent....

I was here for a bicycle race and needed a good menudo, taco and chips for breakfast. Wanted to try this joint - this place is a bomb! Massive portion there small tacos, the salsa was so good and side salsa condiments (red and free) was awesome. This Mexican restaurant we will be dropping when we pass thru Paso Robles. A bit of history the owner had come from a family that owns restaurant and he does know how keep his setup going. Great presentation of cocktails margaritas and their brew. read more

I live nearby and eat here multiple times a week, highly recommend. I grew up in socal eating carne asada fries weekly. I've had carne asada fries from literally dozens of restaurants all over California and Jalapeno city has the best carne asada fries I've been able to find anywhere. Everything else is great as well. I've had great tacos, nachos, and burritos so far. Older reviews are wack, no clue what they're talking about. read more

Stopped by this little place today on the way home from Monterey, just hungry was off the freeway and had 4.5 stars had to try.. showed up whole place was a ghost town.. menu looked great tho couldn't resist .. we order sopes de al pastor and plate of ceviche with a michelob.. the miche was 5/5 was delicious for sure , sopes, ehh could've been better tasted like asada .. still good .. the ceviche was good but seemed like they didn't give us much shrimp mainly onions and and like shredding a of shrimp lol... only thing I can say is the waiter needs to be a little more attentive to her customers.. didn't come and see how things were just felt like her job was to come ask what we want and just wait for us to pay and leave .. I had to get up to find her for the check and get up again because she never came back out to collect payment .. waited like 15 mins .. girlfriend had minor stomach ache on way home.. not so much me .. 3/5 stars ! read more

This was supposed to be a quick stop during a road trip. Incredibly slow service. We only ordered two veggie burritos. There are only a couple other people here. I am still in the restaurant waiting. It has been 55 minutes. Update: After one hour, we asked for our money back and left. Not an organized business. read more

Been here twice. Everyone loved their meals. First time I had the shrimp stew (caldo de mararon) it was delicious and the perfect level of spicy with a good hint of the fresh, sea taste that sometimes overpowers the taste at other restaurant. Not here tho. ! The asada fries are good too. I lived in San Diego for a while and it's hard to find good asada fries like those. Here they come close. The chavetas are good too! read more

Driving down from m ok Monterrey bay to orange county we were starving for some breakfast. Tired of eggs and bacon due to our keto diet we got the menudo! It was soooooo good! It comes with the work like, onions, cilantro, lime, and oregano. We no thank you to the tortillas but also included. Everything else sounds really good too. Highly recommended it. read more

Unfortunately the service here has really gone downhill. My husband and I have gotten food here plenty of times but never sat in to eat. After referring friends and family to eat here and hearing poor reviews each time my husband and I were surprised the feedback we got. Well today my husband I went to sit in for the first time and we got such poor service we didn't end up eating it we just left. The server as soon as we walked in was already in a bad mood. We couldn't get a smile or even a your welcome after saying thank you every single time she handed us a menu or waters. I get having bad days or not feeling up to work. However there was no one in the restaurant and when customers are paying the least that we ask for is manners. Today is our last day bringing our business here. read more
