We came across this restaurant by searching on Google for budget-friendly places to eat in Nanaimo. The food was wonderful and our server was attentive. We hope to return when we're in the area again. View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about Jalapenos Mexican Food:
We all liked our meals. There was no real wow factor. The guacamole was bland, there wasn't a whole lot of flavour in any of our dishes. There is a brown sauce that makes up for it, delicious.The portions are decent for the cost. We would go back again, the restaurant is clean, the service friendly. We just weren't wowed by anything.We've eaten lots of Mexican food, in Mexico and at home, my only recommendation is to... View all feedback.
Delicious, authentic, filling. We got the Mexican plate and the taco trio with a horchata. Food came out quickly and the service was great. We’ll be back ?
Saying Jalapeño’s is a hidden gem is an understatement. They’re tucked away next to a gas station in a tiny building a little off the beaten path. But if you enjoy authentic Mexican food and find yourself in Nanaimo, make them one of your stops.The restaurant is cute and very reminiscent of diners in Mexico, with knick-knacks on the walls, tables draped with colourful tablecloths, and light Spanish tunes playing in the background. The staff is friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. The food? Hot, fresh, full of authentic flavour, and priced nicely. Try the enchiladas rancheras. You won’t regret it.I come to the Island from time to time for work and find always find it difficult to locate decent eats. I’m so happy I was introduced to Jalapeño’s… my new favourite place to go.
This little spot has the most authentic Mexican food on the Island. The family that owns runs it is always delightful, and the food is phenomenal. Not to mention the portions are super generous (1 burrito for me is 2 meals! They 100% are the real deal.
Tacos were ready fast I’ll give them that. I got two chicken and two pulled pork. The pork ones were ok. The chicken ones, terrible! My taco was falling apart. Not even cooked I feel. And the chicken isn’t giving me chicken vibes. Don’t recommend the chicken tacos at all. I came to this spot wanting authentic tasty tacos it was highest rated but I am disappointed.
Man I tell you this place is awesome. The family that run it are just beautiful people. Taco salad is great. Tacos are great. I can't remember what it's called but it comes to your table sizzling on a hot pan, soooo cool and tasty. Parking is a little awkward but so worth it! Enjoy.
