“ This is the best taco spot in all of OC. The food is so authentic, fresh, and consistent every single time. I swear my sister and I eat here every week. If you’re vegan they do potato tacos!!! And they’re bomb! I get them every time I come. Their salsa and chips also make the experience because the salsa is so good—that I compare it to every other salsa that I eat now. I love this place, I’ve grown up going here and it’ll always be a staple Mexican food spot for my fam and I. If you haven’t tried them yet, you MUST!!! you’ll be blown away ”
“ This is a solid 4 star restaurant. I had the nachos and my husband had the carnitas plate. Both were good. The nachos were a little messy so keep that in mind when ordering. Mild salsa was basically blended tomatoes, but my husband said the spicier ones were okay. Overall I might come again if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way. ”

Ordered Carnitas Nacho's... they were the BEST Carnitas Nacho's every!!! well done, who every made the Carnitas yesterday did a spectacular job. keep up the good work. ”
“ Went to jalapeños for the first time since I was passing by and I don’t regret my decision. The alpastor tacos are boommb! Hands down! Shout out to Miguel the taquero guy (I think that’s his name) this guy is a master at making tacos! ”
“ Used to go all the time then stopped going as food quality dropped. 5 years later decided to try it again had the the best al pastor tacos just like when i first started going there. As long as the tacos stay like this ivwill be going probably at least 4x a month ”
