Off the main road but worth looking for. This is a fun and authentic looking Mexican restaurant. The owners are actually Guatemalan so the food has a little extra twist.
The salsa and chips was excellent, easy to fill up on them while you’re waiting on your food.
I love shredded beef so I asked for a shredded beef enchilada, and it was wonderful. Tender beef with lots of flavor in a flour tortilla covered in white cheese sauce, with a side of rice. Everything was very good.
The staff was very attentive and the manager came by our table several times to make sure everything was ok.
This is a place we will try again.

Everything was DELICIOUS.
At first, I wasn’t sure about the salsa. It wasn’t love at first bite but by the third chip I was HOOKED. Actual cilantro flavor (my pet peeve when it’s missing!) and good balance, just the right amount of spicy for me. Not at all watery.
We got street tacos and guacamole azteca with house-made hot sauce. The tacos came with a yummy fried jalapeño and onion: see photo cause that onion was gorgeous!
The guacamole azteca:
Lemme tell y’all something.
I LOVE AVOCADOS.
I got this for the avocados but WOAH was the red onion delicious! It reminded me of pickled onions almost, but it’s just salt and garlic if I heard correctly… there’s gotta be some secret there cause they were delicious. we ate like it was going out of style and I used it as extra for the tacos (bc I split them all, see below)
Hot sauce: I may have been tearing up a little. Good flavor, plenty of heat, no regrets.
The street tacos:
I’d rank the shrimp ones first, though they have less meat (duh, it’s shrimp), then grilled chicken, carne asada, and carnitas last. The carnitas had meat flavor but I have had some I liked better, although those were probably not even halfway authentic. These tonight were really really juicy, tho.
The shrimp, chicken, and carne asada were seasoned BEAUTIFULLY for me and I am hard-to-please about steak in Mexican food. Fresh red onion and tons of cilantro, with chunks of perfectly ripe avocado to top it off. They come with two tortillas for structural integrity, I guess, but I actually split them all and ate eight mini tacos instead and these very nice people didn’t even comment on it
The people? Lovely. There were two servers and they got a little busy as I came at the beginning of their dinner rush. Having been a server myself, everyone seemed to leave satisfied from what I saw. They did a very good job at balancing everything they had going on and still made time to hear me rave about their food. You should be a little embarrassed for me and also a little impressed bc we finished it all
We will definitely be back to check out the other menu items. I’ve never had birria but I guess it’s time to hop on the trend train and see where it takes me. Also, there was a sign about esquites and I ADORE street corn, but I forgot all about them when I saw that beautiful guac. Soon I’ll return to stalk those kernels.
Plus, they’re open on Monday and I tend to wanna grab food on Mondays and get frustrated bc most people are closed due to slow traffic.
I wish no slow traffic on El Jalapeño. Go try them out or try them again and bring your tastebuds with you. They’ll be grateful.

Sitting here for the first time. I mainly came in for a cold beer but also ordered a drink, I did get my beer but haven’t been even thought about since …I really wanted to try the Azulito (I did order it) and I haven’t eaten today so I’m partial to ordering food yet I was given no menu. The chips and salsa are ok ..still not beating Baja California in Rainbow City (no one has so far). I guess I will finish by beer and get on down the road to a more welcome place. The blinking lights that are begging to be changed are driving me batty anyway.
