    Burrito Grande Wet
    Nita T.

    **LOCAL GEM** Of all the Mexican restaurants in Grover Beach, Jalapeños is our favorite. Their Grande Burrito Wet ($15.29) is HUGE and is my husband's "favorite that he's found" here (and we've tried many), and they are my go to when I'm hankering for Chile Relleno. Excellent food, good portions for the prices, warm dine-in service, cozy atmosphere and easy parking behind the restaurant. They also do take out (which I just got today) which was super quick to order and pick up, and included free chips & salsa.

    Food is amazing! First, chips n salsa are fresh. Great taste. I ordered combo #11 chile relleno and shredded beef taco, both were served hot and taste so good. My hubby ordered an asada burrito and it was all gone within 5 minutes. Definitely recommend and will be back later this week!

    Huevos Rancheros
    Ron Y.

    We got seated and was served a good sized bowl of tortilla chips and salsa, the tortilla chips were thick, I wasn't liking the chips because at a restaurant I have eaten thinner chips, but I loved the salsa. I ordered Huevos Rancheros, and it was pretty good tasting eggs, rice and beans, I know that there were 2 corn tortillas on the bottom of the eggs, but I wished they would have offered 2 corn or flour tortillas with this order, but I give the restaurant 5 stars because of the customer service on our waitress taking care of the whole restaurant.

    Tacos n Guacamole! Happy Taco Tuesday don't forget the guacamole.

    Tacos are calling are you willing to answer! It's all in the name right, it has to be since that's the first catch that caught me. Sweet dreams can be had with jalapeños. As we wander through the rows of shops here along the avenues; each one so colorful. The salty air invades our senses as we trekked. After making a few laps around this block and that block one builds and appetite up. Tacos are always something that fulfills the hunger call. As we walked in the restaurant the smells from the kitchen hit us. It's that feeling from the smells coming from the kitchen, "yeah this place will do just fine." Let's eat tacos. We were seated immediately at a great table overlooking boulevard with a huge picture window to enjoy the show outside while we dine in. The menu very simple to order. The authenticity of the restaurant was perfect indeed. The language barrier was a little difficult, luckily I can speak taco in all languages. As the waitress walked away she left complimentary chips and salsa. The mmmm now don't fill up too much on that chips and salsa, tacos are a coming. The chips and salsa are authentic . I can remember every dip too. We added with an up charge of five dollars fresh avocado. The avocado was fresh and made to order. Yum yum! Tacos loaded with extra extra cheese, fresh jalapeños, lettuce and guacamole. We have lunch here. All we wanted was tacos, so that is all we had in abundance. In no time that dozen tacos were at our table screaming for us to eat them. The tacos come simple with lots of shredded steak, lettuce, and cheese. The cheese is always the best part of Mexican food. Then you add some jalapeños and salsa. Now that we have been fed it's time to continue on our journey. Stop and pick the peppers once in awhile. Where ever the road takes you, take that left and explore where your are. We found this Mexican food joint out and about the journey of life. We are filling those pages with our spicy delicious eats that made our days even better. The road of life can end when and where you make it; but always remember tacos.

    Half eaten delicious wet asada burrito

    Just had an asada wet burrito. Served piping hot and was flavorful and huge. My daughter who is four even loved it. The service was friendly and although we were the only ones there it was comfortable and they have it nice and clean with nice plants and decor. I feel like people are missing out. It's been a long time since i've had jalepeno's and I'm happy to say they did not disappoint.

    This family business is run by a pleasant couple. The husband is the chef learned to cook in Zacatecas, Mexico. He charges for a second basket because the chips are the best hand-made chips I have ever had! the salsa is a delicious hand made mixture of hand chopped onions, garlic, tomato and cilantro. They were so good I bought some to go. I ordered the enchiladas suisas. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and moist., with homemade tomatillo green sauce. All the flavorful salsas tickled your tongue but didn't make your nose run. Classically delicious beans and rice. Cold lettuce on the side. For wine margaritas, they were good and the Corona in a chilled glass really hit the spot. I have not found better mexican food in Cambria, Cayucos or Morro Bay. I'm sad we live 55 minutes from Jalapeños.

    Menu 1

    The food here is decent, food temperature came out hot, but it lacked flavor. I've never add salt to my food when I'm at a restaurant, but I sure did need it for this place. Im from SoCal and the Mexican food there is much better then this area. It's really difficult finding the hidden Mexican food joint in this part of town. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. If your looking for a meal and don't care about flavor this place is for you.

    Cheese Enchilada, Beef Taco

    Our favorite Mexican food spot for casual week night dinner out! Great service and nice atmosphere. :)

    Staying at a campground near here and found it on yelp. Saw it was in the middle of a neighborhood…read moreand not on the main drag so I figured it was supported by locals rather than tourists. This turned out to be very true. Half the customers seemed to know each other. Anyway, the ambiance is pretty thin. Not much to look at and all the food is served in paper or styrofoam containers. Help yourself to some plastic cutlery if needed. However, the food was very tasty. Certainly above average for a basic Mexican place. I ordered the carnitas plate and a chile relleno à la carte. I like to test Mexican restaurants by trying the chile relleno. That was the best part of the meal. Took a few minutes for my order because the relleno was obviously freshly made. Very well roasted poblano with just a little bite to it. Well breaded, fried, and sauced. Carnitas were very tasty as well. Service was a bit odd as they call your number and then stand there and ask you if you want everything on it and then slap it on top in front of you.

    I eat here frequently as it is very close to home and you control what goes into your food as they…read morefix it in front of you unless it is fish or fajitas, which are done in the kitchen. They are always busy but they are fast! You can eat in or get your food to go. Prices have gone up but, not as much as other restaurants. Chips are extra and honestly, they give you so much food, you won't need them. The Chile Rellenos are really good. There's a reason this place is so busy, the locals love it!!
