Jalapenos Mexican Food

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 colours, the music, the delicious food being served....I as brought back to my trips to Mexico. Miguel and his wife are from Northern Mexico on the River Grande. The food all around us looked and smelled wonderful. We ordered Quesadillas con Carne Asada and Pork Carnitas with rice, beans, salad corn tortillas. Both were so good. Drinks were ice cold but expensive $3.49 for a can of pop...they did provide ice when asked. The service was great and they were very friendly. We will definitely return again, as we witnessed so many return customers stream in and out for takeout or sit in! Highly recommend.

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.

The real deal. You know the food is going to be amazing when you turn into a gas station and see this cute squat building with the rounded front. Is there a kid working the till? You better believe it! And he's professional as they come! Amazing food at a great price with a cool atmosphere. Come check this place out! Réservez une table maintenant

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.

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.
