Jalapeños was exactly the Taco Tuesday spot I was looking for. The server was super friendly and gave us a bunch of great recommendations. We ended up trying a wide variety of tacos, and they even hooked us up with two extra tacos in different flavors to sample, which was a nice surprise. The sautéed onions and spicy green jalapeños were honestly one of my favorite parts. They had a really solid Taco Tuesday deal, and I paired everything with one of their IPAs on tap that was smooth and refreshing. Service was impressively fast too; we got our food in about 7 minutes even though the line was pretty long. The staff moved through it quickly and kept everything running efficiently. They have nice ambiance and plenty of seating outside, with music playing. read more

Omg!!! It was 10pm that we arrived here were my husband and I was looking for a place to dine in. Upon looking in Gloogle saw this Jalapeños place and the pictures helped a lot. This place is awesome. Of course the dine in experience is outside and they don't have inside sitting. The food was delicious. One hot dogs Mexican style and one is pizza. They were delicious. Do I recommend?? Yes!!! read more

This is one of my favorite casual eats in Sacramento. Came here for tostada Thursdays where each tostada is $2. For the special, you'd have to order at least two tostadas and a drink. My favorites are the pork in sauce, ceviche, and steak in dark sauce. Employees are nice as always. They are super friendly and outgoing. Cams around 7:50 pm and it was extremely slow. It looks like the business is struggling. Come support jalapeños! read more

I've been wanting to check out Jalapeños for awhile now and finally had the time this past Taco Tuesday! They have one of the best deals that I know of in the area at $2.25/taco. Located in Midtown so there's only street parking in the area but we were able to get some prime parking right in the front. Plenty of outdoor seating and honestly really good service! My partner and I were so indecisive because there were so many options but the cashier helped us pick and we really loved what we got. We ordered 3 carne asada tacos, 1 papas con chorizo, 1 tinga de pollo, steak in dark sauce, and the other veggie tacos. Everything was a 10/10 and the flavors for each taco were wonderful. Will definitely be back for taco Tuesday or even their tostada Thursday! read more

I love everything here from the food, service and ambiance! Seating is outdoor only but it's great for a cozy hangout. They have $2.25 Taco Tuesdays and $2 Tostada Thursdays (both dine-in only and order minimum). Great deals for the amount of food you get, they don't skimp on the protein at all. Staff is always super outgoing and offers recommendations. They deserve all the business! read more

Came here for $2.25 Taco Deal, and it was also raining this past Tuesday. I didn't know this place only had outdoor seating. The tacos were pretty good. The deal also requires a minimum 3 order plus a drink, so I got a horchata too. My only downside was that some of our party was confused while ordering, so some of us ordered takeout which doesn't cover the deal. We initially ordered takeout because of no seating, so it was regular plus (+ a 20% discount.) We ended up finding seats, and asked if we can switch our price to the dine in cheaper price. They initially said yes, but retracted their statement. We were offerred a consolation dessert of buñelos, but waited an extra 15 minutes for. I'd probably come back in the summer when the weather is warmer, but i had an interesting experience read more

Loved our visit! Enjoyed Taco Tuesday out on the patio, and the outdoor vibe paired perfectly with the food. We went with what the bartender recommended every taco was delicious. read more

My experience at Jalapeños is always top tier. I don't think I've ever visited and not felt like family. The servers, the food, and the ambience all interconnect to make you feel like it's an occasion to celebrate. I love how the menu changes slightly every so often but the staples have to be their tacos. I always order Calabacitas, Rajas, Tinga, and Pork in sauce. Chef's kiss. Jalapeños also has my utmost favorite Chilaquiles. The portion is sizable ( I always get a big to go) and it makes for an afternoon snack that makes me want to go back. I frequent jalapeños quite often and absolutely adore the staff. Their specials are great! My favorite days to go are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday morning either before or after the farmer's market. Don't miss out on this absolutely charm of a restaurant next time you're craving authentic Mexican food. read more

Taco Tuesday hallelujah! A deal you cannot beat, those tacos smack. Also the bunuelos ‍ those are divine

I tried almost every single taco and they are aaahhhhhmazing!!! The service is ssooo good. They are a small fast paced place but very nice to have dinner outside. Music was great on taco Tuesday. We also tried the pizza fries, asada fries and street fries. My kids ate everything on their trays and lived the server's attentiveness. We will be back Jalapeño. Until next time. read more

Jalapeños is so delicious. I've been here multiple times. They have amazing deals everyday but Tuesday is taco Tuesday and Thursday is tostada Thursday! Their brunch menu is phenomenal. I've had chilaquiles and their breakfast burrito, both were so delicious. The service is friendly and efficient. read more

A gem! Found this cute spot tuck between buildings. Tacos for $3.99? I was sold! We appreciate their vegetarian options! They had 4-5 choices and we ordered all but one because they only serve it on Thursdays. 3 Beers on tap for $7?? Great deal for downtown eatery! We will definitely come back again read more

Nearly 10 years in Sacramento and I can't believe I've never tried this spot! Their taco Tuesday deal is awesome- 3 tacos for a couple bucks each is hard to beat. The owners son, Diego, was very helpful and accommodated a request that wasn't on the menu. Will definitely make my way back here. The little side patio is also so cozy and would be a great place to tuck in and get some work done. read more

First time here and i love it. Sincere and quick service, fresh citrus cocktails, and the food was better than plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area! Already heard the brunch was good, but now im super excited to try it! Great work Jalapeños!! read more

This place should surprise you. In the tucked away manner, small inter and the incredible menu. They have a lot to choose from and even some great vegetarian options. I think I've almost tried all the tacos on the menu and really nothing was a miss. I would have them all over again. The staff is super friendly in helping you pick your new favs. And even in the dead of winter, they provide heaters outside so you don't have to miss out and this hidden gem. Love love love! read more

Jalapeños - Chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Yummy, cheap, homemade. First time coming here on a Saturday night at 9:00 pm. They have happy hour specials so make sure to get in for those! You will order at counter and take a number to your table where staff will bring it to you. It is a small place, there is plenty of outdoor seating, but none indoor, so keep that in mind. Jalapeños has multiple heaters outside that staff is happy to turn on for you. The service is literally unbeatable. I would come again just for the authenticity and passion Alejandro (Alex) at the counter had for this restaurant and their food. His knowledge of the restaurant, their dishes and his great customer service made this a 5/5 for me. I tried the mulitas plate with rice and beans. Ohhhhh my godddddddd.... you need this. Heaven on a homemade tortilla. My friend got their fries and ate the whole plate. Everything tastes authentic - the horchata is fabulous too. Do not pass up this spot!! read more

I love this place so much. If there is anything you should trust me on do this: Anytime on Thursday (dine in only) bring $20 and get 4 ground beef tostadas. They run a special every Thursday for $2 with a drink, I grab a soda water. I think about these all week, and if you want to get 5 that $20 will still cover it. 10/10 read more

Jalapeños - One of my favorite $20 meals every Thursday in Sacramento. 10/10 - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Super yummy brunch menu- especially chilaquiles and breakfast tacos. Quick good service and a nice outdoor patio :)

Located right next to Zelda's Pizza, so it's street parking only which can be a pain especially since it's downtown. This place looks more like a house, as it's decorated in lots of plants as you walk through the gate. Inside where you order super tiny so there is no indoor seating. Depending on the weather, this too can be a pain in butt. We came around 9pm on a Tuesday and it was getting a little cold outside but the man who took our order (I believe he may have been the owner) was very nice and wheeled over a large outdoor heater to help keep us warm. He was also very patient with us while taking our order and even made a few recommendations. We opted for the rajas con queso tacos, and sopes with carnitas, tinga and Chicken along with a side of beans and rice. I will say I was a little bummed with the meat choices. They only offered variations of chicken, carnitas and asada; but no pastor or adobada. Food was decent tho. I enjoyed my carnitas sopes, they were loaded with meat and their salsa was good. My husband also enjoyed his tinga sopes but said the plain chicken sope was a little dry. I was hoping the rajas con queso would have been with Oaxaca cheese but they used queso fresco so it wasn't melty but still was ok tasting. I was not a fan of the plain white rice with corn, zero flavor so we poured some salsa over it. The beans with chorizo were good and like the little squirt of mole sauce on top. Overall, for the price and quality of food, we would for sure come back. I really want to try their mole next time. read more

Jalapeños - The TJ dogo - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Oh boy where do I begin? Just ordered their pizza dogo and monster fries. Made the mistake of ordering TWO pizza dogos for me and my partner, without realizing the plate came with fries. Now we have MONSteR fries AND regular fries to consume. It literally took two business days to finish our meals!! I have previously tried their tacos and micheladas but I didn't care for them. Regardless, I will be back to try more food and other cocktails! read more

Came here for girls night tonight. Love that they have the heaters outdoors- they work really well! Had the carnitas, chicharrón, and pork taco. All were delicious and I was surprised at how spicy they actually were. The size was great for the price too. Super friendly staff and they were super attentive even though the place was packed. Would recommend! read more

5 stars all the way!! My friend and I stumbled upon this place on our way to a different Midtown restaurant and decided we'd come in for a drink. I got the Mango Mojiño and she got the blueberry margarita. Both were delicious. We were going to get the "$1.50" taco Tuesday promotion but opted out of food at first. This deal requires a drink and 3 tacos for each person. Later on Miguel, who took our order, brought us 3 of their poblano tacos to taste and y'all they didn't disappoint!! Each server, busser, food runner etc was extremely welcoming. We were warmly greeted by each person and we watched as they recognized people standing in line, greeting them again, making sure everyone on the patio is all set. It's a small establishment but they have a larger patio area (no indoor seating). I am excited to come back for more tacos and even try their brunch. I will say, within 30 min of us sitting down it went from one person ahead of us in line to a line out the gate! Thank you Miguel & the rest of the staff for an incredible first experience!! read more

Stopped by with two friends after a morning at the Farmer's Market. There were very few other patrons, so we walked right in and ordered. I ordered the chilaquiles with asada. We sat ourselves on the patio outside and waited. There is no indoor seating, but the patio feels very private due to all the greenery. Our food did not take too long to come out. The staff member who helped us asked if we could "feel the love" (lol), and we sure could! These chilaquiles are genuinely SO delicious. Every part of them is flavorful and blends well to create a dish that you just can't stop eating. I especially liked the beans, which are not as salty as refried beans often are but were rich with flavor as well. The portions are also HUGE! I thought I would be able to eat my whole plate, but was barely able to put a dent in it. Our server brought us boxes to go, so now I've got breakfast tomorrow too! From the staff to the seating area to the food, Jalapeños feels like a warm welcome home. I'll definitely be back! read more

You preferred me as I was looking for something nearby when I came in everything was clean well organized, and the crewmembers were very plain and kind.

Another thing that I really like is that they asked and checked up on me as I was there to make sure my experience was great. read more

We were always skeptical trying this place out because we assumed it wasn't authentic Mexican food. Let me tell you, I am so glad we decided to try it out. BEST PIZZA DOG! The gentlemen that took our order and brought out our food was super friendly and even chatted with us for a few minutes. It gives a very homey feel and definitely welcoming. Breakfast tacos: I don't exactly remember the name of the actual dish but it was delicious! You can always tell a good restaurant by their salsa, and it was legit. The flavors were amazing and definitely not stingy with the portion. 10/10 Pizza-dogo: probably one of the best combinations you'll discover. It was bigger than we thought it was going to be but omg it was super cheesy and just tasty! A MUST, 1000%. Add red peppers to the ketchup and thank me later. Piña colada: this drink was dangerous because it was so damn good. I could not taste the alcohol at all, but it surely gave me a good buzz. Absolutely loved the coco rim and cherry. This place is now one of our tops for lunch! read more

The tacos here are super yummy and come out pretty quick. Tuesdays they're only $2 but dine-in only and I'm pretty sure it's all day! I was gonna just order all carne asada, but the guy taking my order convinced me to try a few different ones and honestly I'm glad I did. Everything was so GOOD!! Definitely coming back! read more

Unique taco choices. Dine-In Taco Tuesday deals are a pretty good steal! They have a specific menu and you must order a fountain drink with the taco. Tried the chicharron taco and tinga de pollo. Chicharron would have been more enjoyable if it had some texture to it. Tinga de pollo was yummy. Small patio with heating option available. They serve alcohol!! Street parking available with payment or go around the corner and walk a bit for free parking. read more

Jalapeños - Taco Tuesday Special Menu 2/2024 - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

WOW!! Phenomenal food and service! My friend recommended this place to me after I told her my favorite cuisine is Mexican food. We went on Taco Tuesday and I couldn't believe tacos were only $1.95! What a deal! My favorites were the carnitas and asada taco! The cilantro and onion tasted so fresh too. You have to order three or more tacos which is very reasonable because the tacos are on the smaller side. You also have to order a drink and I got a horchata which was perfect --not too sweet! You order at the register and find seating outside. The food came out fast too! We got checked on multiple times and the service was better than a fine dining restaurant or any restaurant I've been to. Everyone was so nice and it looked like they all enjoyed working there. I would recommend Jalapeños again and again and look forward to coming back trying Tostada Thursday's and their other dishes! Also bonus points they have Mexican Coca Cola; the real deal!! read more

I do not venture downtown very much. I will now thanks to Jalapeños! Went here for Taco Tuesday. It's next to Zelda's and if you blink; you will miss out on some incredible street tacos and drinks. The patio is very tropical and there are a few tables to enjoy the feeling of not being downtown. The people are very friendly and welcoming. The food is amazing! You must try the Beer Punch. Wow! Do yourself a favor and give this business a try; you will NOT be disappointed. Tell them James sent you. read more

I have been meaning to write something about this place because it's the best Mexican food place my boyfriend and I have tried. Not only was it super yummy, the workers were so welcoming, helpful, and paid attention to detail. The guy attending us even turned on the heater by our table so we could be cozy while we waited for our food. I got the tacos and my boyfriend got the chilaquiles. Everything about this place made us feel like we were back home eating our mothers' food that is always made with so much love. Definitely recommend. read more
