Reviews For Jalapeno Express

I finally had the opportunity to try Jalapeno Express as I often pass by on my way to the gym. I wish I stopped by sooner. The owners are very nice and helpful with recommendations as it was my first time. I tried the steak azada, shrimp, pastor (marinated pork), and chicken tacos. All were muy delicioso! I especially liked the shrimp, pastor and chicken. I can't wait to try more... the birria, barbacoa and shrimp bowl next. I believe they will be adding chicken on its own to the menu, which I will definitely try if it's like the chicken in the taco I had. Highly recommend!

Honest, clean, delicious, family run establishment. I keep coming back because they're that good! Prices are great, food is delicious and consistent and I am always greeted and treated with a smile. Come see for yourselves! Today's pick: Carne Asada Tacos and Agua de pina y mango.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m no taco expert but I’m a good food expert, and these tacos freaking rock!!! The Lengua (Beef tongue) absolutely the best!! And the red sauce though! Highly recommend if you like great food for great prices!

Absolutely delicious! I was at the beach looking for a nearby place and found these guys on Google. Placed an order online through grubhub here on the app. When I went to pick it up they were not st this 3rd St address as stated. Called them, they said they are at 14006 Beach Blvd. Ok, that was 13 min away but whatever. When I went to pick it up they had no record of my order. Said they don’t use grubhub. I wondered how I would get my money back. I ended up getting what I ordered, which was adobo taco and el pastor taco w/rice & beans. DELICIOUS! Loved the green sauce and wished I had ordered more. I will be back! Hopefully they fix this Google info though.

Ate at one of their food trucks. I had a very enjoyable experience listening to Mexican music while waiting for their steak asada.

Pro tip: buy a tall boy at the gas station and order the elote. You can thank me later. Cheers

Delish and so satisfying! I’m a big fan of Mexican foods. My friends offered to try their birra pizzadilla. Pizzadilla, Karl And OMG, it was such a great call! Home made tortillas! Wow so Nice and crisp from outside, soft and juicy inside. Generous amount of well cooked meat. Uffff yummy But one of most important thing in any food servings - garnish and sauces At this point Jalapeno express on top of that I had, 4 different sauces. Birra sauce for the pizzadilla HEAVEN, so damn goood. Other sauces are incredible too; mild (orange color), a little spicy (green), and extremely spicy (red). So good!!! Well done guys. I can tell place is worth it, if I save the sauce left overs for later. Even if there were nothing to save. Good luck I’ll come back for edible souvenirs for my husband on my way back to New York
