“ Hand down best Mexican Food Around ! We love everything we ordered. Burritos are my husband's favorite. I love the enchiladas and fajitas are awesome with hot homemade flour tortillas . Everything is so fresh. The chips and homemade salsas are delicious . Waitress staff is sweet and very attentive. ”
“ I recently had the pleasure of enjoying outstanding Hispanic/Latin cuisine at this restaurant. Upon arrival, we were treated to three varieties of salsa with our tortilla chips. The street tacos, combination platters, and massive nachos were all noteworthy. Although the interior decor was welcoming, the women's restroom was unfortunately out of order. I look forward to a return visit, when hopefully the facilities will be functional, and I can sample more of their offerings. ”
“ First time trying this restaurant when in the Pontiac area. Very good and authentic. Friendly servers and quick service. The salsa is great and they have 3 types to try. The atmosphere has a nice Mexican vibe and nicely decorated. Will return to this restaurant again! A must try for sure. ”
“ The food was good. It did take a while to get my Margarita. I ordered an Italian Margarita. It was very tart and honestly seemed like there was no alcohol in it at all. i don't drink often and it was a large Margarita and it didn't phase me at all. Normally one beer or glass of wine goes right to my head. I wouldn't order a margarita again. We love their chips and Avocado salsa. The portions for the food are large. The service was okay not exceptional but our servers did check in right after the food came but not again. ”
“ Customer service is good! Love the chips and variety of dip plus salsa's to try out. Tacos and the soup was good too! ”
“ On 10/7/23, we were visiting from Illinois and decided to stop and eat at Jalapeños Restaurant. The food was really good and the Top Shelf Margarita was well served and tasted great. We had the bistec a la Mexican, sope dinner, steak tacos, Carne Asada plate, and the chips were free. Plus our kids had the fried Ice Cream and my wife had the flan. Our waitress Adriana was very attentive and provided great customer service. ”
“ I don't know what y'all are ordering, but I lived in LA and I know good tacos when I see them. These are the best tacos ever - Al pastor. I always stop by Jalapeños when I'm in the area. ”
“ Great Mexican spot in Pontiac. First came here back in 2017 and then several times post pandemic and nothing has changed! Food is still on point, great (large) menu selection, good portions. Free chips and salsa and it tastes like they're made on the premises. Carne asada is moist and flavorful. Mexican rice and beans, you can't go wrong with it. I've had the burrito, tacos, enchilada, tostados. Everything is 5 stars. Gotta say the Mexican food scene in Michigan is amazing. Ive had a lot of Mexican food in SoCal, so that's saying a lot. Also it's up in Pontiac so by golly I'm pleasantly surprised and satisfied. I hope this place continues to flourish and stay open. Service is prompt and the free chips get refilled fast. Ambience is quiet, plenty of booth seating. Decor is colorful, the walls are decorated. Staff is very friendly. If it weren't such a drive for me I would come here every weekend. ”
