Jalapenos Mexican Food

after seeing the high star ratings, we thought this was going to be one of those amazing “hole in the wall” places with authentic mexican food. turns out it was just a “hole in the wall”. the guacamole and chips were just plain unsalted tortilla chips heated up and mashed avocado with 4 small pieces of tomato at the bottom. the chicken tacos were just plain shredded chicken with some lettuce and tomato pieces on a small soggy tortilla, the steak tacos were essentially the same but with tough flavourless steak pieces, and the fish tacos were filled with some mystery sauce and a thin oddly shaped breaded “fish” stick. I have never had worse tacos in my life and after we paid way too much, my boyfriend said “I would have rather lit 50$ on fire”. A blind man who had never tasted Mexican food in his life could’ve made a better dish and I’m pretty sure every review is either fake or the people have just never had food.

We googled this restaurant when we traveled to the island. It’s not a disappointing.nnFair price, good size, our orders taste good. We didn’t notice they have buffet available. Will definitely try next time.nnThere is no restaurant sign and it’s beside another restaurant. We have to look at the unit number and make sure this is the one we’re looking for.

My daughter just brought me home take out from Jalapeños!! Wow what a nice surprise it’s so incredibly delicious!!! I got the taco trio and she got the crispy taco plate! With all the sides: hot sauce, sour cream, guacamole and Mole sauce! I will definitely be going back for more again and again!

Went here for dinner and we are definitely coming back. We were seated immediately and our food came quick. I got the Tex mex burrito witch was amazing and extremely filling. My taste buds got a bit ahead of themselves and I ate the burrito a little too quick for my stomach to handle.

There's a new Jalepeno's opening in Parksville. Our friends went, and said it isn't quite ready for prime time yet. Mainly, not enough staff yet.nnWe decided to try the one in Nanaimo today. We got great service, prompt and polite.nnI ate the best refried beans I've ever tasted! The crispy beef taco was excellent, the beef was so flavorful!nnWe had no complaints about our meal!
