Great welcome in! Definitely worth going to for meal. Nancy was an excellent waitress and other staff members were very friendly and helpful. Ordered Molacjete' and was I impressed. Not only was it delicious, it was enough for 2-3 people. It came with rice, beans, salad and guacamole. Yummy! Husband ordered Guadalajara Cheesesteak, which comes with rice and beans. Options are 1-2 and he says 1 is plenty. 90 year old Mom ordered kids taco with rice and beans. Highly recommend eating here. Family friendly. Quiet and clean read more

Service was fine, called I had it ready in a few mins. Food was THROWN into the bad causing my tacos to be deconstructed like a Michelin restaurant and my tacos to be soggy. I specifically asked for 3 things 1. taco to be grilled, it was not instead it was soggy 2. I asked for salsa verde, there was none 3. Asked for no salsa. Very much not a happy camper had to deconstruct my self and make a quesadilla with the meat read more

I finally got to see a bit of Savannah and with it being Taco Tuesday we came here to Jalapeños. They weren't super busy but they did seem a little understaffed for the crowd (probably more so in the kitchen). Ross was our servers, and he was great, personable and fixed any issue we had accordingly. The rice and beans was good, and the flavor of the steak was nice too it was just really dry. I'm a HUGE Mexican fan and if it weren't for the fact that the steak was in strips it might've been more moist. The salsa and queso were good as well and I usually don't like queso. The experience was still good and I'd probably give them another chance if I passed by hungry. read more

We were there on Sunday. The place is dark. They sat us in a tiny booth we could barely get into. The server was slow. We had to get up to get her a few times. When they brought the food they didn't bring it together. My dad had to wait another 10 minutes for his food. I had to remind the server we were missing an order. We ordered Guacamole and again we had to ask for the nachos. This will be the last time we go to this Jalapeños. It does not compare to the one on Broughton downtown. Now that's a good Jalapeños. read more

Deliciousness. Don't wanna overhype, but I am from Texas, and was worried moving to Savannah that Mexican cuisine even half as good as Tex Mex would be hard to find. But this bangs. And really solid price for the amount of food you get. Incredible service. I got the Enchiladas Caseras read more

I met a friend at Jalapeños on April 3, 2024. I asked for tea in a to go cup, but I received tea in a glass with a lemon; I don't like lemon in my tea. Since the waiter seemed spaced out, I asked the lady who took us to our seat to please bring me tea-in a to go cup. Unfortunately, the waiter brought my drink, and we can see that the side of the cup had dirty finger prints all over the white cup; I did not drink the tea. I went near the kitchen & asked for some chips & salsa, but again unfortunately, the waiter brought the chips & salsa to us & sat the chip bowl inside of the bowl that was already on the table & pushed it down where it just crunched!! WOW!!! He was constantly leaning against the wall where we were sitting seemingly to hold himself up. I was thinking at this point; is this waiter drunk??? He had a hard time taking the order while still leaning against the wall. My husband & I have eaten there before, and I knew that someone else other than the waiter would bring out our food, because at that point, we did not want him to bring us anything else. While eating my food, I noticed that the plate had a big chip on it. Due to the white color of the plate, I did not notice the chip until after consuming some of the food. I did show it to the waiter & asked him tell the manager to come to our table. I kept asking the waiter and if the manager was coming, and all of a sudden he acted like he could not speak ENGLISH!! Again, I asked for the manager, and when the manager finally came to our table, he also acted like he could not comprehend or speak ENGLISH. He had no answer for the chipped plate. At that point I just wanted to get out of the restaurant, and will NEVER go there again!!!!!!!!! I recommended this restaurant to my friend, who is visiting from Atlanta for our all girls-weekend, but none of us will ever visit again. Is their business so bad that they must use plates that are chipped? What about hygiene & require their waiters to constantly wash their hands? Also, now I am wondering about the back staff!! Are they washing their hands?? Something needs to be done about this horrible customer service. They are not above being investigated!! read more

Stopped in for dinner tonight. Short staffed but very attentive and friendly. If you want some good Mexican in Savannah I definitely recommend Jalapeños. We got the Mexican Mule and a Peach Daiquiri for drinks. Both were good and not bad priced. For our meal I got the Chicken Enchiladas and my husband got the Chicken and Bean Burritos. Portions are good to make you feel full. Our two particular dishes came as is with no sides. There are chips and salsa for the table of course. Overall a good meal and friendly service. read more

This place was an Unexpected gem ! Our first Time here Was Kind of apprehensive of trying it ! I must say the service was great got seated fast. Our server was awesome.

How can anyone hear in this restaurant. It is so loud. I guess if I had a party I'd enjoy it better. The waitress gave me the wrong drink order , but in her defense, she probably didn't hear me. The service is ok and the food is decent but if you're looking to relax, you might want to avoid thos place. I think I'll just take the drive to cilantro's Mexican restaurant in Wilmington Island. It's just hard to enjoy your dinner at this restaurants. Maybe if the music wasn't so loud it might quiet down the guest. I won't be back! read more

Surprisingly decent Mexican food in the touristy part of town. Friendly, quick service. We sat outside and we enjoyed their home salsa which was good if a bit salty. But so tasty. I got the lunch chimichanga which is narrow but very well executed with a nice quest sauce. Salad and beans rounded it out for a decent price. My wife had a wrap which she described as "great" so that's a thumbs up for sure. read more

I needed a quick lunch and wanted a taco salad. Although it's not on the menu, I asked for what I wanted and they made it to order. Since I was super hangry, I forgot to take food beauty shots. Sorry y'all. I'll be back again soon because I was completely satisfied. read more

In all honesty, one comes to Jalapeno's for the drinks. The food is always a hit a miss. Well the one in Sandfly is much better. The Aberdeen location is horrible. For one, it's like they're rushing to eat and and get up out of there. You order and app and they bring your starter and meal at the same time. How are you to enjoy both? Normally the chorizo dip is pretty good, this time it was full of oil and the cheese was watered down. The inside of my enchilada was cold and the cheese was already dried up by the time it hit the table. I literally took one bite and let it be. I tried to stick it with the dip but it was a no go. Our server was nice so that's always a plus. read more

was changed $9 for a small bowl. It's listed as an appetizer but was unaware. Who orders queso for an appetizer?? Very disappointed. Please just asked what is extra as the waiter won't warn you. They expect you to read and know. Very sad my sister paid alone an extra $13 for small bowels of extra cheese and queso. Sad sad sad. Would not recommend just on that alone. We had to ask for napkins and got 1 each. Maybe that was an extra charge who knows. Restaurant was not busy so not sure what he needed to rush back to doing?? Maybe he was doubling as a waiter, dishwasher and cook. PS the corn was pictured on the cob and came in a bowl, and was not warned maybe it was canned??? read more

The inside of this place is decorated like most Mexican restaurants and had several televisions playing sports. We are promptly seated, and our waitress came immediately. She was very friendly and had a wonderful smile. Chips and salsa appeared immediately! The salsa was tasty with just a hint of heat. We had the Shrimp Fajita Nachos for starters. They were almost a meal in itself, large serving and very flavorful. I got the Fish Tacos with the fish fried. They were very fresh with the right hint of heat. The husband got Burrito Gordo. He said the flavors were excellent. We had enough for our supper in our take-home. When we asked for take-home boxes, our sweet waitress brought us a tea to go as well. Excellent service. read more

Not a bad place. Very busy yet we didn't have to wait for anything. They were definitely staffed according to the busy time. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Pleasant to be there even considering there were kids that made a mess right across from us. We got served quickly. We got drinks quickly. We ate quickly which was exactly what we were looking for off the freeway. read more

I came in to Jalapeno's for a dinner date with a couple of friends. Generally Jalapeno's isn't my go to when it comes to Mexican food, but who fights a group choice?! Thankfully my group came on a week day night, because Jalapeno's always has a large crowd on the weekends (because of the drink specials). Therefore, the parking lot was relatively easy to maneuver. We also lucked up because half of our group had already been seated before I walked in, so no wait time! At the table, a bowl of chips and salsa sat waiting to be divulged. However, I'm not sure about you, but something about chips and salsa is highly addicting. I seem to mindless munch on the meal waiting to place my order. Nonetheless, moments after sitting our waitress came to the table and asked for our order. She was warm and actually pretty fun, i wish I remembered her name. *Entree: Arroz Tejano ($11.00) The Arroz Tejano without the steak (my personal preference), but with substituted with more chicken and shrimp. The dish is a bed of rice layered with chicken, shrimp, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and covered with queso. Generally everyone knows that cheese makes everything better, but in this case less is probably better. There was so much queso that my meal seemed to be floating, and the queso flavor became overwhelming mid-way through the meal. If I were to get this meal again I would ask for the queso on the side so I could pour the queso to my discretion. The inside of the restaurant has an authentic Mexican feel. The decor is bright and vibrant with plenty of intricate wall decor. Although I enjoy the decor the seating could use an update. Overall this restaurant deserves a B-. The food is seasoned well, the waitress/staff are friendly, the wait time is relatively decent, and the drink specials are awesome. Pitfalls, the restaurant gets busy on the weekends, seating is slightly older, the restaurant can be loud, and the Arroz Tejano had more than enough queso making it difficult to enjoy the remaining flavors on the plate. read more

This spot was quiet with great service and wonderful food. The queso was on point, the meat was seasoned well and the prices were very reasonable for great portions they serve. They have a massive selection of tequila for any margarita lovers out there! The server was knowledgeable and she was great when it came to recommendations. We would definitely eat here again! read more

Went here for a late lunch and ordered the vegetarian fajitas. I didn't see a protein option. The fajitas were great and hit the spot. Chips and salsa pretty good. There were 2 servers who were both prompt and friendly. Only a few other people dining. The music was a bit loud for my preference, and so I didn't stay for a drink. They have an outdoor patio and many menu options. read more

Second time at this Mexican chain and it reminds me why I avoid it. In the Pooler site, the cheese had a processed taste. Last night my taco meat filling was tasteless and tough. The server was inattentive and mixed up our drink order. With that said, the place was packed so to each their own... read more

Block/delete. Lol. Very lame. You know what they say about first impressions... we were so excited to try this place and the stuffed jalapeño appetizer. Thought for sure they'd be homemade. First bite was cold. They were nothing more than frozen from a box. Then the tough chicken chimichangas came. Lame. Rice and beans were flavorless as well. Service was very mediocre at best. I couldn't wait to get out of this place. So disappointed. read more

So I've been to the one in Sand Fly and it's always been excellent. My told me this location was the original and they used to come to it all the time. Unfortunately, they must have been short staffed. Took a long time for service and the food was not great read more

Had the supreme nachos for lunch. More than enough to share with 2-3. These were awesome. Just what the doctor ordered. Not gourmet but the perfect mix of street and restaurant quality. But in a great way. Steak, chicken and shrimp all in one plate. Didn't think it would work well together but they knocked it out the park. Awesome food. And the house chips and salsa are delicious too. read more

Best Mexican cuisine that you'll ever eat guaranteed Very clean restaurant very friendly staff food comes out very quickly

Jalapenos is a staple here in Savannah. The food is pretty consistent with anamolies every now and again. The food is flavorful and 5 stars goes to the tableside Guacamole. The drinks are strong and the prices are reasonable. I have not been to the Abercorn restaurant in quite some time but was pleased with the speedy and friendly service. Then again it was a Monday evening. Is it my favorite Mexican restaurant in Savannah? NO (Tequila Town holds that coveted spot) Is it worth a visit especially when you dont want to deal with the hustle and bustle of downtown? Yes read more

I couldn't concentrate on my food because none of the wait staff had on masks. They were carrying our food and talking over our plates. Masks may not be mandatory down there but the staff should wear one. No wonder this disease is still around. Please have your staff wear a mask read more

My friend girl and I tried this restaurant yesterday and oh my lord. I ordered the carne asada tacos with verde salsa and pico de gallo. They were absolutely delicious. Also, happy hour begins at 4 o'clock and ends at 7. The drinks are 2 for $5. A BIG plus. I had the watermelon margaritas and I'm warning you now, they are delicious but you will feel the effects if you try to drink it too fast! I definitely recommend this restaurant. Only downside is the parking. It's not enough parking for all of the customers that goes there regularly. read more

Food is good, but the music is so freaking loud that I had to yell at my friends for them to hear me talk. This isn't a nightclub... it's a restaurant. Why do managers/owners think this is a good idea? Won't be coming back for that reason alone. read more

i was hungry!!! so i decided to get some jalapenos bar grill and as I was looking at my menu and eating the chips you get before you Order and as I was enjoying my good ahh lemonade i see my brother pull a long ahh hair out his mouth and I damn near threw up my stomach was goin brazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... do not buy this stuff is horrible and they look at me like she ain't put the hair in it I felt targeted!!!!! bad food !!!!!!! read more

Oh no! I loved Jalapeno's years ago. It has sadly taken a turn for the worst. I ordered a Michelada. Ten minuets later., it finally came to me. (I was at the bar.) Then they couldn't even make me a proper one. It was too salty and inedible. Also unfit for human consumption is how I would describe my meal that came over half an hour after I ordered it. I didn't even finish my rice or beans do to the levels of salt. The meat from the taco smelled rancid, and everything was cold. It was just awful. I am sad to say I will not eat here again any time soon. If you go, stick to the margaritas, chips and salsa. read more

Went to the restaurant Abercorn location stood in line to waiting to be seated and the hostess sat two couples in front of me after I informed her I was before the parties.

Had a giftcard as a gift. The person couldn't figure out how to make it work. Seriously just unprofessional & refused to help us find a way to solve this solution. Although we looked it up online and proved that it had $20 still on there. The guy kept saying someone did it wrong and we had to go to another location to fix it. As a server who has done giftcards. If the website says the card is valid and shows a valid amount. The bar could couldve just been faulty. I calmly tried tk explain ways to fix the situation since He obviously didn't know how to do it correctly. Instead of just keeping that card and figuring it out later since they know the moneys there. They decided to make it completely our problem and refused to do anything or help us. I'm sorry but if the money it showing that there's 20 dollars on there, how does it even make sense to say someone messed up? He refused to even try to type the card number in, like we suggested because sometimes the black bar code sometimes can mess up or get demagnetized. Honestly I'm sorry that sounds like a scam or someone who didn't know what he was doing. Again speaking from experience as some who has sold and taken giftcards. If they had messed up the giftcard would've showed a zero balanace. So Wasted food and useless staff. Use to love this place, but since Covid they have just honestly just stopped caring. As a server I'm really disappointed in their lack to help. Especially since the card says it's valid at every location. But the guy said if they took the card they would lose the 20 dollars since that locations didn't issue the card. That's not how it works like at all. Then the giftcard wouldn't be valid at every single Jalapeno's location. All he had to do was keep that giftcard and reissue us a giftcard for the remaining balance. At the worst he couldve gotten the whole $11 dollars from the location who issued the card. Since Jalapeno's has already been paid the money for the giftcard. But again I say, if the giftcard is showing a positive balance, there's no reason it shouldn't have worked unless he didn't know what he was doing. Basically don't buy giftcards from this location and if you do eat here, pray you don't have any problems because they don't want to help. So basic summary, even if your gift card has money on it, & their system is messing up, or the bar code could just be demagnetized you're out your money. Best part was him saying if we take this we lost the $20 since we didn't issue the card. That makes no sense. When you slide a giftcard, the money is still at the original location they bought the card at. The card is just a piece of plastic saying we paid for this already. The money doesn't get transferred from one location to the other when you swipe it. Please train your staff better or don't sell gift cards. Customer service would've been taking the whole giftcard. Issuing us a new giftcard with the remaining balance and got forbid if you had to calling the other location to send you a check for the money. But again, if they're able to be use at everyone location you shouldn't have to had done anything at all. You know you've been paid already. Sad how awful this place & the service has gotten. I let a lot of bad service go when we've gone in to eat recently because I know people have bad days and things happen, but this is the finally straw. Y'all might as well go to Taco Bell. It'll be basically the same experience. read more

This place is really not how it use to be, the customer service is really lacking and so is the food quality; not just at this location but other Jalapenos locations as well. My server did not care to ask if I wanted another margarita and I had to send back my dish as my chicken was extremely over cooked and inedible. Im giving up and will be sticking with La Nopalera instead. read more

Sooooooo this is probably my first 5 Star. And only because we went twice....afternoons and for dinner. That's how amazing everything was. From the shots...drinks...chips and salsa...to the people...wait staff and then back for dinner. Delicious. My first time in Savannah and this was my first spot I stumbled on looking for good old low country seafood but saw Mexican and you can never ever ever go wrong with that!!!! I didn't like the one bathroom but that didn't warrant a reduction in stars. Hey if the women is occupied go to the men's. Love this place. Food was seasoned, authentic and hot. read more

Ok, went to graduation at Ga Southern, First we hit Tybee Island's beach and made sure we got burned to a fucking crisp before we made our way to the outdoor stadium seating on hard ass benches in the blazing sun wearing itchy ass sticking to your sunburn like a pricker bush gently smashing little shards of wood into your skin sending slightly hot fucking lava sensation through your skin for a 3 hour commencement ceremony. To watch my daughters name said in a tenth of a second and a flash of her robe as they ushered the students off the stage. But I digress, the food was really good they had a really good buffet with fajitas, chimichangas, tacos and all the sides. The shredded pork was super. Limey tasty goodness. I hated the way they had it set up. Stupid way... Our waitress was great she was very accommodating. So ontop of the gratuity we gave her another 20. Salsa was da'bomb. Really love the crispy thin chips. Special for the margaritas 13.99 pitcher but the pitchers were huge. Great place, very busy. read more

By far, hands down, bar none, the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been too. Taste was on point, quality was wonderful, great and speedy service, and nice people. Oh and did I mention the food was PHENOMENAL! If there had to be a con, it would be the lighting. It was a little dark but really not a huge deal. Overall, wonderful place to eat if your looking to get out of the hustle of downtown Savannah. read more
