I used to love Jalapeño's especially for its mole that was not overly spicy. However I return there recently after 5 years away and I was disappointed... The margarita was not really drinkable and the chips came out of a supermarket bag. I didn't stay for anything else. Que decepción después de tantos años buenos...

We waited more than 20min just to get water, The order took a long time. Probably they are understaffed but they need to let us know so we can decide. The food wasn't great either, some of the fast food places are far better.

Right on the Main Street one block up from the harbor. Location great. But that is where great ends. Expect cold bland food, clueless service and high prices. Salsa: weird. Soul cold. Main uninspired is generous.

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.
