Food and drinks were overpriced. TikTok's bring in the young crowds, but that'll end once they realize they get duped into tipping 40% if they don't check the bill closely. They automatically add a 20% gratuity to any bill even for shitty, slow service. I'm sure this place won't be around long. read more

Food was good. Drinks were great! Got the marks and they were fantastic! Waitress was good but overwhelmed. Seemed like wasn't staffed enough for Friday night. Music got a bit too loud at points but great atmosphere. read more

Went here a week ago. For a Birthday Party. Felt like I was in a U.P.S trailer. The place was like a oven on the inside. No A.C.. All the people were using the menu as fans. They really need to fix the A.C. Was truly uncomfortable experience. In my honest opinion. This place is over priced for the Experience of eating Mexican food. I can say the music was really good. That's it. read more

Visited for the first time today and the food was fantastic! Got there early and surprised about the happy hour. Great prices and real authentic Mexican Cuisine. Service was great and they were very attentive and accommodating. Will definitely return. Well worth the money and again great atmosphere! Must try. read more

This is my new "go to" Mexican restaurant! Very good food. Ample servings. Great prices. Outstanding sangria! And really friendly staff! I live closer to their Glen Rock location but I will come here again and again and again because it's so much nicer. Loved the casual atmosphere! I'll be spending Cinco de mayo here for sure! read more

Place was very nice but we walked in on a Sunday and all these tables were available but they said they were all reserved and we could sit at the bar if there were any spots, we did. We picked the unlimited brunch but the bartender did not explain to us that once we picked our first drink that's the drink we had to stick to which was disappointing. The margarita was mediocre so that's why we wanted to change it but she didn't let us. Food was okay. read more

Came to celebrate my graduation and was not disappointed. Amazing margarita flight with a variety of flavors and a shot included Also ordered the tacos for Taco Tuesday and quesadillas. Beautiful restaurant and excellent service, Alejandro was the best! Definitely recommend!! read more

I really wanted to like this place and i'm disappointed. I saw it on tiktok, thought I'd try it out with a friend. The ambiance is very nice and the employees were very kind as well. The food.. was mediocre at best. The nachos were topped with fake cheese. The empanadas didn't have much flavor. My fish tacos had fish pieces and was soaked in vinegar. Everything with ground beef lacked seasoning. I had a mojito and it was just okay. The salsa was very good, i'll give them that. Lastly, they added 20% gratuity to the bill which was kinda shocking considering I've never experienced that for a party of two.. the overall experience was worth 2 stars :/ read more

Came here because I saw an advertising on instagram. OMG! Did not expect to be THAT good. It's simply a must go!

Chipotle has better queso than this canned crap they served me....the quesabirria was bland, rice was garlic and flavorful, but the beans were sad. The ceviche was more like a plate of onions with a splash of seafood. I think this is a spot u come to with friends for bottomless brunch and a loud ass DJ and then hit ur local Mexican joint for REAL Mexican food after....cuzz this place doesn't hit. read more

I came here hoping to be amazed! My experience left me saying "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" let me just say SUPER HAPPY to pay for quality and taste. That didn't happen here.. don't be confused I paid and paid I did. I will wrap it up here... Screw me once "shame on you!" If you know the rest you know I won't be finishing it! I would say good luck but that would imply that you had a chance of being here in the future! BTW gratuity is earned and not a right! You owe me back 19% of your 20% forced gratuity. If I would have known it was forced I would have passed this place by, no quality place forces that on a party of two. 3 beers 1 margarita some tasteless food $101.00 could of had a better meal at Taco Bell for 80% less. read more

I had the mixed fajitas. Very little meat with abundant amount of peppers & onions. Taste was bland. Came with plain white rice/beans/pico/sour cream. Dish was $29.00 (overpriced) Husband had Mar Y Tierra (3 pieces Grilled Shrimp & 1/2 Skirt Steak over peppers & onions) accompanied with plain white rice & beans. Steak was overdone instead of medium & not seasoned at all. Coke $4, Glass of Iced Tea $4, Frozen Margarita $6 (was 1/2 price Happy Hour). 20% tip automatically added which is completely wrong to do. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. This place gets 4 thumbs down. We hardly ever give bad reviews, if any. We've been to better places, got better & tastier meals for less $$. read more

Completely underwhelming. I was looking forward to the food here based on the reviews and the pics of the food did look appetizing. Well sadly, they fell significantly short of my expectations. First the positives. The place had ample parking. There's a big lot in the back of the restaurant. The service was good. Servers were attentive and friendly. The appetizers that we chose were actually quite good. That's it. Where do I start with the negatives? ..Well, the aesthetic was very tacky. They had painted murals everywhere and a multi-colored thing going on that just kinda fell flat to me. The appetizers that we had (queso fundido &,the guac) were pretty good but they were very small portion sizes. We were a party of 5 and the apps didn't last 5 minutes. Next, the biggest disappointment to me was the entrees. Why are all these new trendy joints not seasoning their food?? Is it just me? My goodness the food was so bland. I had the steak tacos and there was zero flavor. These folks literally just threw a few pieces of meat on the grill without salting or seasoning and wrapped it in a tortilla and threw some raw onions on top. Where the hell are the bold Mexican flavors?!?!?!? People, please season your food!!!!!!!!!!! At the very least, use salt and pepper. Come on!!! I tried my mother's dish which was the burrito and again, no flavor. To add insult to injury, the place is overpriced. This was a one and done. I'm disappointed. read more

YONH V was amazing!!!! Very very friendly guy and made our first time here very special. the food was even better! We got chicken empanadas to start off with and they were amazing ! I got a frozen mango margarita from happy hour and it was only $3 what a steal! The birria tacos with the dipping sauce on the side was really yummy and the rice and beans were also very yummy! We will definitely come back and bring friends with us! This place is very fun and the food is very good! read more

Jalapeños Mexican Grill - The Birria Taco with beef (: - Mexican Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

This place is so unassuming and not even on a main road, but it is so worth going off the beaten path. It is not a huge place, but it is pretty neat on the inside. The food is definitely fresh and tasty. Their sangria is most definitely worth a try. We have gotten take-out a few times and this place has never disappointed. Go for it!!! read more

Did not disappoint! The guacamole was super fresh and perfectly seasoned. We had birra beef tacos which were why we came, they were phenomenal! I'd go back just for those! Churros were on the dessert menu and they were one of the best ever had! Some really great margaritas too. Will definitely be back! read more

Bad service, they took too long for service and they bring the wrong plate I do not recommend this restaurant read more

Jalapeños Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Disappointed, flabbergasted,bland,nothing like the tiktoks ive seen hyping it up. They added 20% gratuity to every bill because of COVID.

The food was great but the service was terrible. My friend and I came her on Sunday for a bottomless sangria and mimosas. We only had two drinks from the "bottomless" experience. They never came to ask how our food was. They weren't around after they gave us food. Bad service. Great food. read more

We saw a lot of bad reviews for this place and I always say lately people are just too picky. Chill the hell out!!! We tried to get there for happy hour but missed it so Oh well it didn't matter. We had the BEST WAITRESS. Her name name is Itzel!! We left all the recommendations to her and she was on point!!! We order calamari, guac n chips, quesadillas, burritos and the big flashy drinks. We get one cheat meal so we stuffed ourselves!! Wayne Nj is the spot. They have a new manager they asked us twice if we were okay. That's a nice touch. The waitress made sure as well. We will be back with friends and we gonna to make that brunch too!!!! read more

Food was so so, not the best not terrible. Average service but the appetizer came out (wrong) at the same time as our meals. They apologized for the wrong appetizer and brought us the correct one, but still charged us for the wrong appetizer. Then when reviewing the bill we see they added gratuity, which was surprising because we were only a party of two. Wont be returning. read more

Came for dinner. Will preface that I'm a vegan. Got the guac, tostones, and veggie tacos. Guac was okay though it lacked seasoning - no jalapeños, garlic or onion and very little salt. The tostones were good. However the veggie tacos were not seasoned at all. No flavor (not even salt). They had broccoli, cauliflower cilantro, onion, lime and absolutely no flavor. Had to doctor them up with pico from my sister's dish and the leftover guac. I really wanted to like the food here but it is not vegan friendly at all. My sister had the quesadillas and she said they they were good hence the two stars. Margaritas were fine. Servers were nice but overwhelmed. read more

This was my first time there. I had the prickly pear drink. It was delicious but sweet which they told me when I ordered it so I appreciated that. I added a shot of tequila and it was better. Everyone in my party enjoyed their drinks. It was $2 taco Tuesday so my son and I ordered that. Pretty typical $2 tacos, tasty. The two other people in our party had Barria quesadilla and shrimp tacos both delicious. I would definitely go back. read more

This place is absolutely great!!!! Drinks are amazing , food is great . Our server John was amazing . Couldn't ask for better . I would certainly recommend this place to anyone. read more

My first time trying jalapeños and I was amazed with the food and service. I lived in Miami for two years and tacos had become my favorite meal but it is Hard to find them Around here in northern New Jersey. We had an amazing server who I just want to shout out by the name of Yohn. He really took care of us had great recommendations and was super friendly. He went out of his way to make sure our whole meal was perfect. I will definitely be visiting again and hopefully I can be served by Yohn!! read more

Saw this place on tiktok and had to try it! The Birria tacos are delicious ! The rest of the food and drinks were good as well. It has a nice atmosphere but the booths must be loose because anytime the person behind me moved or got up my whole seat moved. Also, there was only 2 of us and they added on 20% gratuity to the the bill... the service was not horrible but not worth 20%. All in all I would recommend. read more

So if you're looking for birria tacos you have to come here. Absolutely perfect. You can choice between chicken and steak. They are to die for. We also got the queso and buffalo wings both 10/10. Very traditional looking place inside with this cute rainbow outside. Next time I'm craving birria tacos this is where I'm coming read more

We visited recently for the first time. We enjoyed our dinners and my drink was good. My burrito could have been a little hotter and the green sauce was kind of acidic. Service was mostly good though I had to flag the waiter down at the end. We sat outside and I'm still dealing with all of the mosquito bites. What I didn't like was that they put a 20% tip on the bill for two people. That's my usual tip for good service but a tip should be my choice, not what the restaurant dictates. read more

Food is over priced. Service was terrible and and don't like restaurants that include gratuity on your bill. I didn't agree with giving my terrible waitress 20% but I had no choice. I understand when this is done for large groups but I was with my my wife and son. read more

I would give this place zero stars. First of all we waited for over an hour for our entrees and they brought the wrong dish. This was during a time when there were only a few other tables seated. What they did bring was uneatable - complete lack of any taste or flavor. The drinks were bad, the guacamole tasted like out of a jar and the Mexican corn didn't even come close to what it's supposed to taste like. I would never come back here. read more

I had such an unusual experience here I don't really know where to begin. I came here with my daughter for lunch on mother's day and on Sundays it says they have a dj, which is fine. I think they should definitely have the kinks worked out of the sound system prior to patrons arriving as they kept on sporadically blasting the music which was quite unnerving. Anyway, we ordered the queso fondito with chorizo which was just ok, definitely processed melted cheese served with corn tortilla chips which I never had served that way before, usually a better quality cheese and flour tortillas. I ordered the chimichanga el pastor which was 95% beans and rice which again I never had served that way before. My waiter was kind enough to bring me a small bowl with some pork in it but I do prefer the meat to be inside my chimichanga. My daughter ordered the steak quesadilla which again was served in a way I had never seen before, the cheese was unmelted, just the shreds of unmelted cheese in between the flour tortilla, my daughter did not want to send it back. Our waiter who really was very nice and apologetic about the lack of meat in my chimichanga gave me a margarita on the house. They also add on the 20% gratuity for you, so whether you have good or bad service you're in luck, no need to do any math. read more

I love this place!!!! Very family run feel. We've been here so many times and it's always good!

We got bottomless timosas and birria tacos, food was good, workers were nice, only taking one star because the prices were a little steep

I do not understand all of these great reviews. The chips were so hard they seemed like they were a year old. The salsa was not even salsa-no seasoning, seemed like bland tomato juice. Want water? You are going to pay for that-bottled water. Food was ok but my husband ordered tacos and they did not come with sides. He liked them. I ordered chicken fajitas-they were ok but no cheese with the accompaniments which was weird. Daughter had a burrito which she said was pretty good. We were there for so long. Such a long time waiting to order and then Another VERY LONG wait to be served and then yet Another long wait to get our check. We thought perhaps they were short staffed, so we accepted it. BUT it was so hot in the restaurant and SO LOUD for a small restaurant and then when the check came a 20% gratuity was added to our check for only 3 people. We found that the last straw to an unpleasant experience. Def not a place to go back to. read more

This place is very average! The margarita flight was not that appealing, and the drinks tasted watered down for the price. The chicken tacos were dry and needed hot sauce. The quesobirra was super cheesy you could barely taste the meat. This hole in the wall is average , and the gratuity is included 20% read more

Service was great and fast , Arrived @4:45pm managed to get between 3-4 drinks each @$5 passion fruit margaritas were amazing .Queso fundido with shrimp was on point !! Waitress was great wa out by 6pm 7 fri is and 1 app late only 55$ with 40 % tip .Would def recommend and reserve .spacious and ample parking !! read more

This place is amazing!!! Service, music, food and drinks were amazing!!! Highly recommend this establishment! It's a must try place. I was recommended to come here!!! Natalie the server was professional and very welcoming!! read more

We came here on a Sunday to celebrate a friends birthday! Right when you walk in, you were greeted by a very welcoming host. Right when we sat down at our table ordered drinks. We had sangria, margaritas, and a margarita flight. The flight comes with a shot of tequila! It was great. After we ordered food the DJ started playing music and then a few dancers came out to hype the crowd. They had a fog machine and laser lights to get the party started. Everyone was dancing and having a blast. I highly recommend this place for anyone that is celebrating a special occasion or just wanted to have fun with your friends! read more

This place is great! I've been living in Wayne and never knew this place existed until it popped up on my recommendation so figured it would be a good place to check out based off the reviews. I can say that I was not disappointed. Food, drinks and service were all excellent!! Our waitress was very sweet and very tentative. Will definitely recommend to friends and will be back. read more

Went there for Cinco de Mayo and the service was terrible. Ordered 1 appetizer originally with one waitress, another waitress asked a few minutes later what we'd like and we asked for another appetizer again. We told our original waitress that the different waitress already asked us and so we tried to cancel the order since there was no communication between the two workers and they told us no. Annoying but not the end of the world. We ate the two appetizers and they were good. Then the waitress refilled my friend's margarita and charged her for a different/more expensive drink. When we said something she tried to debate with us. The bill came out to be very expensive for 2 people (almost $120) because of the mishaps and the gratuity of was already added 20% to the bill!!! Absolutely will not be coming back. Food was good and nice atmosphere but we feel scammed. read more
