Jalapeno's Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Amazing food! Delicious drinks! Highly recommend!

Drinks, service and my shrimp fajitas were excellent.

Unseasoned meat but other than that nice staff and great drinks

Our go to family spot

The best Mexican food around! I loved the chicken gaonera and the cranberry margaritas. Chips and salsa were bangin' and loved the weakness of the salsa. Shoutout to Brittany, whose service was 10/10. Can't wait to come back and experience all that is Jalapeños.

Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jalapeño’s Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Gloucester, MA, is a must-visit! The tacos were absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and just perfect. The salsas and pico de gallo were on point, bursting with authentic, vibrant flavors. For dessert, we had the churros, and wow—crispy, sweet, and served with delicious sauces that made them irresistible.

The draft Modelo was ice-cold and complemented the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with live music that added to the lively vibe.

A special shoutout to Lisa, the bartender, who was courteous, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Even the person at the front door greeted us with such kindness and professionalism—it really set the tone for a great experience.

If you’re in Gloucester, don’t miss this gem. Can’t wait to go back!

This was one of the best Mexican restarants we've ever been too. We are not local. We leave near Detroit near a large Mexican community. Food was great. Drinks were great.

The Pico or salsa is freakin AAAAMAZING!! Would definitely eat here again.

One of our absolute favorite places for dinner in town! Have been coming here for at least 15 years, every year for my birthday. Jamie is the best!!!! It’s our go-to craving. I get chicken enchiladas or steak carnitas, my husband gets classic poblano chimichanga.

Typical place that serves very well-executed traditional Mexican dishes at low cost. Too bad the air conditioning is always on and it's really cold.

Not good food and ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Typically Mexican restaurants have large quantities, but not at this establishment.

I had to capture the kids “burritos” because it was truly just comical. I have never in my life seen anything like it! $8 for a bite-size burrito, chips with microwaved cheese, and hard refried beans plus $4 for drinks (not included in kids meals anymore?!)

Ended up spending $60 for 2 kids meals that consisted of pretty much nothing, and 3 skimpy shrimp tacos. Won’t be back here.

There may be better places to go, but we always have a good meal, and nice treatment by staff. Prices are comparable to other places.

Parking: After 8pm I think it's free. You could end up parking a few blocks away in either direction.

I left here feeling I ate something that didn't taste, good, wasn't healthy and I overpaid. This place wasn't bad it just definitely was not good for what I paid. A little design overhaul and improving the food quality would go a long way.
