    First time visitor located in old towne orange Clean spacious bright colors industrial vibe Taco Tuesday special Friendly service from ordering, bussing, and checking up Offering of chips Lots of salsas to choose from and pickled veggies are a must Other half order their version of a California burrito and it was large like the size of arm and it was eatan the whole way through Order the chili relleno plate that came with corn or flour tortilla guacamole sprinkle of cilantro onion refried beans topped with cheese and rice in a aluminum style to go plate Beans and rice tasty. Beans were chunky smooth good consistency and texture, rice was soft and mild in flavor Unfortunately the chili relleno was a bit too greasy for my liking as I can see the grease on the plate and tasted it directly Flour tortilla was nice to create my own mini burritos I would come return back to try other things as it seem like a relaxing spot for groups date night solo diners quick bite There is also a restroom to use for patrons only that is for both gender and does have a out of order sign to deter from public use haha

    I came to Jalapeños Orange Circle last night, October 30th, 2025, around 6:20 PM, hoping for a taste of the nostalgia I remembered from high school. They were relatively busy, likely due to the "Treats in the Street" event, but that is no excuse for what followed. The Food: Cold, Skimpy, and Overpriced I ordered two Pastor Tacos. Quantity Fail: As you can clearly see in the photo, the amount of meat given should not qualify as a street taco portion. For the nearly $10 I was charged, this portion size is unacceptable and a complete rip-off. Temperature Fail: To make matters worse, the tortillas were cold. The Service: Needs Improvement Disappointed, I made my way to the register to request a refund. The woman at the register claimed this sparse amount of meat was "standard for a 6-inch tortilla" and, unbelievably, rolled her eyes at me. She then stated they couldn't locate my order to issue the refund and "it will be a while as we have a line." I responded, "Don't worry, I'll wait," and patiently stood in line like every other patron. While I did eventually get my refund (verified on the receipt), the entire interaction was unprofessional and dismissive. It's a shame that since the new management has taken over, the quality of both the food and the service has declined so sharply. Final Word! Please save yourself the disappointment. Better to take another 5-minute walk to "Taco Stand"--the quality of both food and service is miles better. This was a truly negative experience, and I will not be returning. Hopefully, they will improve, but for now, look elsewhere.

    happy hour here is banging!! drinks are so strong (beers are $3, cocktails $7 during happy hour)!!! Shout out to Nico and Dimas!! They're the best hosts ever and make the place feel so welcoming (so welcoming that my group of friends come every week) You also get free chips with any purchase and their salsa is soooo good

    Love the asada taco salad. The ppl help with order is also nice. Big place good ambiance too!

    Chips and drink.

    We have been coming here for decades. It has a great location in Old Towne Orange. The staff are friendly and there to serve. You order at the counter and once you take a seat they will bring you some chips. They have a nice salsa bar with many options. Parking can be a challenge, but there is a parking garage not too far away. They recently remodeled and have a more Mexican flare with bright colors and decorations. Good food and reasonably priced for what you get. Check them out.

    Tacos

    I love this place!!! I came here for taco Tuesday and they had a great deal on huge tacos. The meat was so flavorful and juicy. It was also filling because of the large portion size. I helped myself to the sauce bar and my favorite was the hot sauce. It's a must try! It's pretty spicy though. It's creamy yet spicy and it's just perfect. They also provide complimentary chips with your dine in order (not sure about take out bc I've only eaten dine in here) I also really like how you can clearly see the kitchen because the screen between the kitchen and the dining area is separated by clear glass. You can watch them make food and see the whole process.

    Extra grasosa Pastor Quesadilla
    Teresa C.

    Fui anoche Halloween como a las 8 pm el restaurante no estaba lleno. Mi novio y yo pedimos una quesadilla cada uno . El de pastor y yo de azada . Las dos estaban sambuteadas en grasa o aceite . Literalmente cada mordida chorreaba aceite . No se si era el queso o la carne pero si no fuera por la salsa y el hambre no nos la comíamos. Estaba a punto de pararme y decir pero a mi novio no le gusta que haga esas cosas pero dije bueno un review por lo menos para IQ el agente sepa no pedir eso de nuevo . Cada quesadilla cuesta $12 y algo así es que. definitivamente mejor hubiéramos ido a comer comida china de haber sabido de esta mala experiencia. . Aparte los meseros atendieron mejor a las demás mesas preguntando si todo estaba bien y a nosotros no . Así que me sentí un poco mal por eso . En fin ....

    My wife and I attended the Orange Street Fair and, as most do, we walked and explored the various food booths---we did support the Orange High School Lemonade stand---and the many musical performers, but decided to remove ourselves from the large crowd and move indoors at Olde Towne Jalapeños. It was a brilliant decision on our part, as the food, ambiance, and especially, the service, was an A+. Thank you Olde Towne Jalapeños for a wonderful dinner experience. We'll be back!

    CALIFORNIA BURRITO
    Conner F.

    The food and service were great! I tried a California burrito which was more than enough for 2 people. Chips came out right after we ordered and the salsa bar had plenty of choices (the hot red salsa was my favorite). The burrito came out hot and the quality was definitely there. They've really changed the look of the inside and it feels more open than before. The booths and tables were nice and clean. Highly recommend adding this to your list! Burritos, tortas, street tacos, crispy tacos, enchiladas, are all good!

    I came here during the orange festival. Just to get a corona. The food looked good so I decided to order a Torta as well. This is a gem of a place! Someone in my party came in for a plate with carnitas and asada and it was a big plate nice and hot. Lowkey wish I would've got that plate. I have to come back next time because even my food was delicious!! The service was amazing! Everyone was so nice I would come back (:

    Super cute and fun ambiance with their recent remodel! Great for a date or place to meet up. Although it's a little loud from the TV, it has a fun vibe and we enjoyed sitting near the windows where there's good people watching on the main street. I'm always looking for a good chile relleno so I got one for lunch. If you don't have time to make them at home and have a craving, this will satisfy it. There is a chips and salsa bar with multiple salsas plus my favorite: pickled jalapeños and carrots. Make sure to try these! Service was fast and friendly so would recommend and will be back in the future.

    GRILLED CHICKEN BOWL
    Cecile W.

    I came here as part of the Villa Park Women's League dining out subgroup, where we visit local eateries for a specific purpose or unique feature. In this case, they had just remodeled their interiors under new ownership, and vibrant Old Towne Orange is always fun to visit, tough parking notwithstanding. You order at the counter like any other fast casual place, and take your number and drink. Our party of 10 already had the chips, salsa and puréed guac tableside so we could nosh while we waited for our orders. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl and many of my table mates also ordered bowls (carnitas and carne asada) The bucket of 6 beers for $20 was attractive for us! It's fast casual, remember, so everything from cups to plates and bowls are disposable. The service was brisk and friendly. If I can find easy parking again, I would come here! Otherwise, dedicated parking at Citrus City Grille will win me over.

    Overall a great experience…read more The pros: Came in on a Saturday afternoon and was sat down to be greeted by a lovely server. Had red and white sangria. Both were good but we both preferred the white. Queso fundido was good but didn't come with chips so we ordered chips and salsa. Mole tostadidas were delightful, full of flavor. Esquites: the bomb. Super flavorful and we cleaned the plate. Churrosnwere good, but the dipping sauces left something to be desired. A little runny and preferred the hot churro on its own. The cons: the only thing that was a little disappointing was the fact that they served us the end of a bag of chips. While the chips were fine, it was surprising that at a michelin star restaurant they didn't serve homemade chips. Worse still, we got the tail end of the bag of chips. The top of the bowl had regular sized chips but they were just hiding the smaller broken odds and ends that you find at the bottom of the bag.

    We were there today - Nice location. It was Sunday at 4pm. Restaurant wasn't too busy but still had…read moreto wait to be seated. They charge $5 for chips and salsa and no refills of chips. Food took a very long time to come out. $18 for a Margarita. Shrimp tacos $23 (2 tacos- 3 shrimp in each taco) did not include rice or beans. Rice and beans are extra( $4 for either). Typically rice and beans are a staple at any Mexican restaurant and it's included with most combinations. A surcharge of 3% was added as a 'kitchen appreciation' charge Would I go back, probably not. It was a once and done kinda thing.

    Look if there's anything I know I know good Mexican food…read morewhy because I'm Mexican I eat Mexican food every day to me. I don't call it Mexican food. I just call it food cause that's what I eat for breakfast lunch and dinner so when I'm telling you that this place has some really good food trust me you want to come out and try it. Everything they have on the menu is bomb as fuck. Their drinks are bomb. The service is bomb. That's the reason I keep coming back all the way from the inland Empire to Orange to eat their food this is one of my favorite spots to come and join the rest of my family. We all come from different parts of Southern California just to eat here so if you're yelping and you're curious to know how good this place is stop it already just come in you won't be disappointed!! I do have to warn you that this is a Cantina restaurant so the music is loud but guess what? I fucking love loud music!!

    Writing this review is a little difficult because the place has potential, it just needs a few…read moretweaks. To begin with, the place is SO loud it felt like I was in a club. Probably better for a nighttime gathering, but kind of threw off our brunch talking session. This is definitely a personal preference, but prepare to be extremely overstimulated. The place is absolutely gorgeous! Kudos to whoever did the interior decorating because everything is visibly pleasing. Even the presentation of drinks and food were great and "instagram-worthy". My friends and I did bottomless mimosas for $35 which is a fair price, but the rest of the menu was ridiculously overpriced. $15 Base for chilaquiles but it's a minimum of $7 to add protein (a very minuscule amount) AND an extra $4 just to add eggs?? Regular drinks were extremely tax as my friend's latte horchata was $12 and it was not good at all. The food was not bad, but the upcharging and skimpy portions definitely put this place on my "no" list. HOWEVER, if they just make minor tweaks with the volume, pricing, and food quantity it definitely could be a great place to go! The staff is friendly and the vibes are right, there just needs to be some changes for me personally.

    First time here, and overall, we had a good experience. What I really liked was the service…read more Everyone was super nice and helpful, from the servers to the rest of the staff. Our water glasses were always full, and they kept the table clean as soon as we finished a plate. The food was good, but not the best I've tried. I had the Grande Taco Salad, and I really enjoyed it. We also ordered the seafood tacos, but unfortunately, the shrimp had a little bit of a soapy taste. We let our server know, and they were very nice about it and offered to get her something else. A note for anyone who doesn't eat pork: ask for the beans prepared "a la olla" instead of the refried beans. I asked our server if the refried beans were made with manteca (pork lard), and he confirmed that they were, so just something to be aware of when ordering. The restaurant itself has a lot of character. It used to be a church, so it has beautiful colorful windows with designs, lots of wood inside, and some huge, beautiful lamps in the middle. They also have outdoor seating, but it was way too hot to sit outside when we went. Overall, it was a nice first visit, especially because of the friendly service and atmosphere. I'm giving it 4 stars because of the soapy taste in the shrimp and because, while the food was good, I've had better Mexican food at other places.

The front and entrance area to the restaurant are well maintained and give me a rainforest cafe type feeling. We had a lime margarita and strawberry mixed margarita, both of which were very large and very good. Complimentary chips and salsa were served, and the waiter was very prompt with water refills and service. The ambience and dim lighting make for a relaxed atmosphere.

    1 star -- Family-owned for decades, and this is how they treat a 30-year customer…read moreI've been coming to Moreno's for 30+ years -- family celebrations, graduations, work events, etc. I was here two weeks ago. Today I came in with family, ordered about 15 minutes after happy hour ended, and asked the waiter if they could still honor happy hour pricing because we were only a few minutes late and we're longtime regulars. He said he'd ask the manager. Fine. He came back and said no. I told him, half-joking, that's fine -- I'd talk to the manager when we were done. I did not demand she come to the table. I did not make a scene. Two minutes later a woman I'd never seen in three decades of eating here walks up in a confrontational tone: "Is there a problem here?" She is Linda, her family owns the place -- she made that clear -- and she was acting as manager. She then said a lot of people claim they've been coming for 30 years just to get a discount. She questioned whether I actually had, said she has never seen me before. She kept pushing after I tried to shut it down so we could finish lunch with family. Aggressive, condescending, and completely out of line for a drink-special question I was already prepared to drop. We offered to pay for the drinks and leave. She said she didn't want our money. Something about her father dying a year ago and he wouldn't take it either. A family that's run this restaurant for nearly half a century sent out a manager I'd never met to accuse a 30-year customer of lying over fifteen minutes on a happy hour price. That is not hospitality. That is not how you treat people who have spent decades celebrating here. I will never eat here again, neither will my family. There are plenty of places nearby that still know what a regular looks like.
