Absolutely DELICIOUS! A Must-Try Breakfast Spot in Glendale!…read more If you haven't been to Jalapeños Sonora Grill in Glendale, AZ, you're seriously missing out! I ordered the Breakfast Steak Burrito with added bacon, and let me tell you... WOW! It was so incredibly good that I completely forgot about taking a picture. I was way too busy devouring every last bite! That's how you know the food is GOOD! The combination of savory steak, crispy bacon, and all that delicious breakfast goodness wrapped up in a burrito was exactly what I needed. Every bite hit the spot! I came in hungry and left a VERY happy customer. The kind of meal that has you thinking about coming back before you've even finished eating! If you're looking for a satisfying, flavor-packed breakfast in Glendale, do yourself a favor and give Jalapeños Sonora Grill a try. Bring your appetite, support this local gem, and thank me later! Five stars, no photo, no regrets... just an empty plate and a happy stomach! I'll definitely be back!

The pollo was my favorite: well seasoned, with a nice crust and char. The asada was okay but needed more seasoning and a char would have been nice. The pastor was a little goopy for my liking; some char would have really elevated it. The Sonoran taco, with asada, green chile, and cheese, was decent, but nothing out of this world. At $3.10 per taco, or $3.35 with grilled onions, the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly.

The tortillas really saved the day and are why it got this rating. Service was great! Really nice workers but wasn't the cleanest taco stand around.

The restaurant is quite a large space with plenty of room for dancing and a band which they have on the weekends. They also offer outdoor seating. Our server was friendly and brought us the best margaritas. Two of us ordered the fajitas and they were the best I have had! Massive shrimp cooked perfectly- not overcooked like some often do- with loads of onions and peppers. Everything was thinly sliced and so tasty. It was nearly impossible to finish this dish. It could have, and should have been, shared. But instead I took leftovers home. This is a big dish for the price, and one I want to go back for. Either the owner or a manager came by to see how we were doing and then he sent over two pieces of cheesecake. I really don't like cheesecake, but this was ridiculously good- not too sweet at all. So I finished that too! There is so much on their menu that I have to go back to try more.

I'm from around here. I know there's homeless people and crackheads everywhere so I don't take this man's word but clearly made me uncomfortable and I left. I liked the idea of this place. Might try again on a weekend at an earlier time. Just be careful around this area.

As for the drinks, I ordered the agua fresca de melón, which was refreshing and really hit the spot.
