Jalapeño Heaven: Reviews & Ratings
I have been to Jalapeno Heaven only 3 times now since my bf put me on about 2 years ago, and I will continue to return! The hospitality is unmatched. The owner and servers are friendly and attentive. Meal comes with basket of colored tortilla chips and various salsas. The margheritas are awesome, and the servers are trained to prepare to your liking. I highly recommend the Queso Flameado with Tortilla (which they prepare in front of you)!! I am a child at heart so I always order a quesadilla! Generous portions, and a nice, fun atmosphere!
We had the best experience. Awesome staff. The food was absolutely delish. The chicken in the enchilada was so tender and the ribs were perfect fall off the bone. Pineapple Coconut Margarita was so good, I had two. Beautiful night we sat very comfortably on the deck.
This is the perfect spot for some real tasty Mexican food. Hard to find great places and this is one. Can not wait to come back. Harby Thank you for a great meal!!
Went here just by chance and was not disappointed. Food was very good. And some of the best tacos I've had.
To start off with the salsa verde is cool and refreshing. Multi color chips are very inviting with the color scheme of the restaurant. The golden margarita made with 1800 is very tasty and perfect. Shrimp Fajitas and Asados were prepared perfectly. I can get past the mask part. Only needed to wear to table so whatever.
This is such a fun and kitschy place. Located on Route 1 at 40 North Main Street it has it all for a small and cozy place. An outside patio - an upstairs bar with a small dining and lounge area - and a lower level main dining area that’s loads of fun. They have a huge gringo menu and a large vegetarian menu, as well! Stop by for sure! Oh! They do take out too!!
Great food, great atmosphere. There are many drink options but I always go for the Sangria. The crab cakes are incredible. Fish tacos are my favorite!
Food was excellent as always, hot and fresh and delicious. Owner brought my wife some bread and butter when she had something stuck in her throat. Great service, bery friendly , big portions. One of our favorite restaurants!
