I’ve try almost all the menu and i’ve loved everything, everything is really tasty, fresh and healthy.

I’m an enchiladas and alambre fan and i also love the chicken quesadilla, it’s like being at home.

I love the decoration, it looks really mexican but fancy and contemporary at the same time.

Thanks guys!!!

I went there today and asked for the Special, burrito+drink, I go there quite often and always order for takeaway, the food is excellent, great taste and portion, I really enjoy the the way it is made, really Mexican way. However, I think you should be a bit faster when taking takeaway orders, I spent an average of 10 – 15 min each time and sincerely it’s too much. So I recommend the manager to see this issue and improve it, it’s easy and all customers will be more satisfied.
Thanks

I ate here for dinner on a Friday night, I got the Enchiladas, I’m glad I paid $2 extra for Jalapenos (surprised they are not included) and $2 for guacamole cos the chicken was quite plain on it’s own. Overall it was ok, but not as good as my meal at Mexicali Fresh last Sunday, just cos the meat was more tasty there.

I work for the Hispanic Club and have heard great things about this new restaurant from our customers and will be going soon. I was not surprised to read the review from Daniel H, over the last 10 years we have heard many stories of the Mexican Cafe (worst Mex place ever, and their fake “mexican owner” thats actually Brazilian – wrong culture darling) running dirty trick campaigns against any nearby mexican or latino places until they go bust. Best of Luck to Jalapenos, authentic is always better than fake and its good that they are educating kiwis of what is real Mexican food.

Jalapenos Mexican grill is the best Mexican restaurant in Auckland. The food is delicious, fresh, fast and cheap and the staff is soooo friendly. The decorations are so colourful and very Mexican!
Jalapenos is unique, big and not over crowded with things.
Go Jalapenos!!!!

I am a big fan of Mexican food and Jalapeños is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Auckland right now as its menu is wide, tasty and cheap! I love the fact that they make their own tortillas, also the guacamole is superb as it is homemade plus the nachos are also fresh. This is amazing for me and for the people I recommended this place, we think that absolutely everything we tasted has been great. Jalapeños has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Auckland!

Great spot, friendly, clean and not the ordinary Mexican that is all over the place. I really like how they make their own ingredients. I’ll be going back with friends very soon.

Worst mexican I have ever had unfortunately. A burrito was advertised as $15 on the menu – when we questioned this, they reduced the price to $13.90. Against our better judgement we ordered and were served up a burrito made with a bread wrap from a plastic bag, warmed for about 10 seconds. It was tasteless and filled with mostly rice and beans – very little meat. A real disappointment. There are much better Mexican places in Auckland – they may be expensive compared to Mexico but nothing could be as bad as the slop we were served here !!! Would be surprised if this place is still here in 3 months…oh hang on rip off time as the World Cup is almost upon us.

Hi Daniel H. or dh0l as your View Auckland nickname. Here is the exact same reply I did to you in View Auckland:
“This is the first time I see this review. I’m the owner of Jalapeño’s Mexican Grill and you could find me on the premises if you have any concerns/queries. I don’t need to hide my identity if I want to say something. As a true Mexican I respect everyone’s opinions and I’m not ashamed to expose my point of view.I do respect your opinion and if you didn’t like the burrito you could tell the manager, call or email and we would gave your money back…but shame you didn’t! We do not do fake Mexican food as most of the places here in New Zealand, it is against our principles to lie about what we offer as we are proud of where we and our food come from. We are an authentic Mexican Food restaurant from tip to tail and my team, food and products are the prove. We don’t say we are authentic just by having sombreros around and call Mexican food to something is not.There is a whole range of cheap and expensive Mexican restaurants in Auckland that offer fake Mexican food and use low quality products that you can choose from. Those places can’t even made guacamole with natural avocado, a real salsa with fresh ingredients, fresh beans or homemade corn tortillas which are the very basics. But they can offer you taco shells and a whole range of weird things that ARE NOT PART OF OUR TRADITIONAL FOOD.Our prices are based on our high quality ingredients (local and imported) and if you have any doubt I invite you to come to the restaurant and verify.Just FYI we have a lot of regulars as they like real Mexican and real Fresh food and we work hard every day to offer them and everyone else the best products and service we can.
