Jalapeño's Taqueria Reviews
Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.
No alcohol here except beer. It’s very casual, outside has picnic tables, you can eat inside. Killer good salsa, tacos and burritos. Extensive menu and very affordable. We’ll be back! 🤠
Food is always solid, and usually pretty quick.
