    We stopped here on our way up to Nevada because it had high reviews. I think it must be a locals favorite. We didn't necessarily have any issues with the food it just wasn't our favorite. The meat on my nachos just wasn't my style. Very nice staff though.

    Jalapeños 2 is a local favorite for quick, flavorful Mexican food. It's in a shopping center in Northwest Reno with plenty of parking, which makes it easy to stop by whether you're eating in or picking up to go. The service is always fast and friendly. You order at the counter, and they bring out your food when it's ready. We usually call ahead for takeout, but the small dining area has about a dozen clean, comfortable tables that make it a nice spot to eat there too. Everything on the menu is solid. My usual order is the crispy chicken tacos. They're full of flavor with a perfectly crunchy, warm shell. I'd recommend Jalapeños 2 to anyone who wants good, no fuss Mexican food made with care.

    Jalapeños 2 has the best quesabirria tacos in town. I'm blown away! The carne asada fries and beef burrito were also great. But WOW those tacos. Beans and rice are also extremely tasty. Nap time

    Ordered the chile relleno and taco combo plate to go! Rice and beans are standard, not bad. The ground beef taco was actually my favorite! I didn't care for the chile relleno, but that was just my personal opinion. The tacos, with a side of salsa and radish, just so yummy!

    Chicken flautas

    I just had the best chicken flautas I've ever had! Forgot to take a picture until i was almost done, but here's the 1 I have left. Service is amazing, place is always spotless, also. So happy to have found this place when we moved to NW Reno.

    Friendly service, delicious food and clean restrooms. I don't come to Reno often but will make sure to stop at Jalapeño's 2 anytime I am in town.

    The service at Jalapeños2 is better than the Sparks location on Los Altos, but glad they have this one in Reno. Their taquitos are my favorite! My little sister got me hooked on these and if she orders them, I will steal one or two. Shhh... We ordered a few things to share for dinner between 4 of us. I was okay with the ceviche tostadas, but I had a bite of everything. What makes everyone else's food tastes better? One ground beef chimichanga combo plate, a carne asada fries, an asada wet burrito with salsa verde, ceviche tostadas and chicken taquitos. The handful of times I've been into this location, the dining room and shopping center have both been very quiet. I see their to-go orders flying out the door though. I never complain about a quiet room anywhere. I will however be back for my next fix next time or I'm nearby. Thank you for the great service last night 3/23. My to-go order was placed online and ready before the quoted time to be ready for pick up.

    Never even knew this place was here despite it being about 5 mins from our house! It's tucked away in a place where you don't really drive unless you're specifically looking for a business in this area. We ordered takeout and I came here to pick it up. The inside is small but does have some tables for dining in. It feels like a mix between a hole-in-the-wall taqueria and a small dine-in Mexican restaurant, the best of both worlds! I got the quesabirria taco combo, my husband got a carnitas burrito smothered in green salsa, and we split an order of carne asada fries. We thought everything was really good! Big portion sizes, all the right toppings, flavorful meats, affordable prices. They also have a salsa bar inside where you can pick what salsas you want and how many of each. We asked for a side of chips and I was disappointed to get home and realize they didn't give us any, but luckily we had some chips at home to use with all the salsa. The spiciest salsa was my favorite! My husband really liked their green salsa. This was a solid spot for some takeout and we will plan to come back!

    Jalapeños remains consistently delicious and a family favorite! We love stopping in for a quick bite, or calling ahead for take out, either way their food is fresh and delicious wherever it's enjoyed. I'm a sucker for the carne asada tacos covered with cilantro and onions but I did try the quesabirria tacos last visit and was impressed with the tender meat and flavorful consommé.

    My husband and I were in the neighborhood and we ended up here for lunch. No other customers were inside when we walked in, which would normally be concerning, but we arrived on the early side and several other customers came in after we ordered. My husband ordered Huevos Rancheros and I had Shrimp Enchiladas. While placing my order, I asked if their beans were vegetarian or if they offered other types of beans and was told "no" on both. I don't eat lard so it mattered to me. No problem, though, as they doubled the amount of rice for me instead. The place itself is low-key casual with somewhat of a fast-food feel. But the food is not a reflection of the ambience! I tasted my husband's dish and we both agreed that his huevos were better than those served at another place in town where we usually get them. More fresh tasting and much less greasy. As to my shrimp enchiladas, they were pretty tasty and priced fairly for a seafood dish. Overall, between the food and good service we were happy with our experience and plan to come back again some day.

    Carne Asada Burrito
    Morgan Z.

    We ordered Jalapeños 2 to-go the other day since we were craving burritos. We called to place our order and the staff was really nice and the service was quick - our order would be ready in ~15 minutes after placing our order. We picked up our order that came with chips and we selected the verde and red salsas to go with our meal. Our carne asada burritos were good and pretty simple. We didn't love the verde salsa (usually our go-to with Mexican) but the hot red salsa was super good! I'd definitely recommend the red salsa with your meal. Overall, we had a good experience and the food was good but just not our favorite based on other carne asada burritos we have had in the area. I think next time I would try one of their plate meals instead - those look good!

First off, huge shoutout to the staff at both locations. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a group of about 12 showing up and ordering at different times, plus another large party there, and they handled it all really well. The patio has such a great Midtown vibe, and I'm always happy supporting local small businesses. We ordered a little bit of everything: ribeye gorditas with homemade tortillas, street tacos, quesadillas, loaded papas, elote, and I even attempted the AYCE tacos. The carnitas was some of my favorite in town, the guac was delicious, and my friend loved the skirt steak tacos. Plus, the three salsas they serve are all so good. Tacos are always subjective, but I'd absolutely recommend giving Ana's a try because there's something for everyone on the menu. The cocktails are fun too, and I'll definitely be back.

I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...
