The restaurant is a bit out of the way, but it was worth it! Really fresh, tasty food and the owners are very friendly. We had a nice cross section of dishes - particularly enjoyed the carne asada nachos. We were very pleased to say the least. While there are restaurants out there with more flash and style, this experience... More

Excellent chili rellenos!!! I have them every time I come here and they are always excellent. I have been coming here for years and everyone I bring here says the same thing. Awesome food.

Im not well versed in Spanish but if "delicioso" is a word meaning delicious then it applies to Jalapeños. My standard test for any Mexican restaurant is the traditional carnitas soft corn taco. I first had it 12 years ago in San Antonio at a well known restaurant and have been hooked ever since. Jalapeños has come the closest to... More

I had carnitas. Lots of nicely cooked pork , celantro, onions, rice, pico and tortillas 6.95$ excellent. Staff was great. Not fancy looking but good ,clean flavorful Mexican food. I travel often and look to find west coast like Mexican. This place is it. I found it from yelp too.

Nothing like Taco Bell. Nothing like a franchise Tex-Mex place. This is a real taqueria like you would find on the streets of Mexico City. You have your choice of tacos, including slow-cooked beef tongue (my favorite) and Machaca (all-nature dried beef after a long marinating process). There's a large array of salads and entrees including chile rellenos. A huge... More

We've been to a lot of Mexican restaurants throughout the Southwest and elsewhere. I find reviews of Mexican restaurants to be 'iffy.' Maybe the reviewer knows Mexican. Maybe they really only know Taco Bell. Maybe they are expecting Tex/Mex, which is fine but not the same thing. This place is in a bedraggled little strip mall away from the 'classy'... More

This Mexican restaurant is a little hard to find,no real signage from the main street. Worth looking for. Had the fish tacos, was some of the best I have had. The building from the street is nothing special in side is another story, Would eat there again when I am in Ft Meyers.
