Seriously the best Mexican food I have ever had!! Every single thing we ate was delicious. The lady waiting on us so was sweet and did a great job. Their prices are cheap and portions are enough for 2 people.

Jalapeno Grill has been a favorite of mine for YEARS! Great food, generous margs, friendly and attentive staff. If I'm getting tacos in Wilmignton, 8/10 times it's from here.

This place never disappoints! Food exceeds expectations and just the experience is great for getting some Mexican food. Highly recommend the specials and their margarita Wednesdays.

Our go-to spot! The last time I visited I got the shrimp fajitas and oh man. So good! But the restaurant should do a better job at only allowing patrons in. Unfortunately we’ve seen addicts that come in and spend a lot of time in their restroom.

The food is very fresh and delicious! The staff is great and service isn’t too long. In the pictures, we got the Bistec Rachero (beef with jalapenos, rice/beans), the Cubano torta (Cuban sandwich), fried chimichangas with fries, jalapeno poppers, carne asada fries, and queso. Everything was very good so I recommend everything. Their salsa is also very unique and tasty - it’s got a spicy Chipotle taste to it. When you get to the restaurant, it looks like there’s nowhere to sit but there is a lot of seating in the back. They have tables for 8.

Hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants in a 30 mile radius. I am Mexican and have visited 20 restaurants in Delaware and Kennett Square and this place is in my top two. Salsa is hands down the best and most original of all Mexican restaurants I’ve visited plus the chips are house made. Food is amazing. The pineapple infused margaritas are amazing and original. The value for the quality is forgot to say.. the staff is A
