Service turned out to be better than it has in a long time. We stopped by on a Sunday night and the place was about 3/4 full. We were seated right away. My margarita was excellent. Chips and salsa were fresh and also very tasty. The meal was great and the price was reasonable.
Don't write this place off. It's worth another shot. -

Oh no! I loved Jalapeno's years ago. It has sadly taken a turn for the worst. I ordered a Michelada. Ten minuets later., it finally came to me. (I was at the bar.) Then they couldn't even make me a proper one. It was too salty and inedible.
Also unfit for human consumption is how I would describe my meal that came over half an hour after I ordered it. I didn't even finish my rice or beans do to the levels of salt. The meat from the taco smelled rancid, and everything was cold. It was just awful. I am sad to say I will not eat here again any time soon. If you go, stick to the margaritas, chips and salsa. -

I made a recent visit to Jalapeno's when I was inspired by a hunger for Mexican food and an article in Connect Savannah. According to Connect, Jalapeno's was the winner in two categories quite close to my heart: Best Mexican and also Best Cheap Meal. How could one possibly resist?
I don't know what it was about that day but it was as if the muse of greasy meat and salsa ( we'll call her Guacamolia) had whispered in my ear. One word. Three syllables.
"Burrito," said Guacamolia, her sultry voice playing a tympanic symphony on my ear drums.
"Burrito," was my reply, as I pointed the nose of my car south on Abercorn.
"What did you just say?" inquired my passenger.
"Nothing!" I shouted, embarrassed.
So we walked into Jalapeno's and were seated immediately. Our waitress took our drink orders (coke para mi, tea para mi esposa, nada para Guacamolia) and perused the menu. We ordered a plate of tamales and two lunch specials both reasonably priced.
We chatted for a short time while munching on chips and salsa and downing our drinks. The meals arrived, all of them hot and with minimal wait. The first positive note was the portion size. For lunch portions these were quite large. The second was the taste. Having recently been to Mexico, I can honestly say that no. I wouldn't call this "authentic" but then I wouldn't call any Mexican dish I've ever tasted in the states authentic either. That includes the places I've been to in Texas and other border states.
It tasted good but not the same as what you'd get if you went to a taqueria. Why should that bother anyone? The truth is, I don't think authentic Mexican would do terribly well in America. It's a lot spicier than most Americans prefer and involves a lot of ingredients that our general populace would think strange. Anyway, enough ranting.
I was satisfied with the meal, service, and prices at Jalapenos. The only thing I didn't care for were the tamales, which arrived unwrapped. Really though, not the best Mexican. I don't know of any restaurant in the area that serves truly great Mexican dishes. -

Really? Four and Five stars?
This is a horrible excuse for American Mexican..... Honestly, I really rate a mexican restaurant by its guacamole. If it is industrial grade with some chunks of avacado thrown in then the place automatically get big points taken off. Guacamole isnt suppoed to taste like green onion dip...
I ordered my usual: spinach burritto. It was eh. At best.
Cancun is slightly better, but seriously... savannah doesnt have a single decent mexican restuarant. -

Decent Mexican food and service at a reasonable price. I have been here several times and not had a stomach illness or anything bizarre.

When I lived in Savannah, I ate here once a week before bowling. They had 2 for 1 margaritas for happy hour and the food is the best mexican in Savannah. I miss having mexican food like this.

Jalapeno's has several locations, and I will probably eventually hit all of them. All the standard Mexican fare, done well, with cheap drinks (be sure to get there on time for the 2-for-1 Happy Hour specials!), and good decor. You get a good amount of food for the price (this is crucial for my husband), and the service is friendly. Getting in and out of this restaurant is a little weird (seriously, this is weirdest location for a restaurant, and if you don't know it's there, you may pass it --- yes, it IS behind the car title place, that IS where you turn in, and yes, that tiny parking lot IS all you got).
