It was my first time dining here. It definitely won't be my last. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. It was an authentic Mexican restaurant.

Really great experience. Food is wonderful. Paella is fantastic.
When visiting Annapolis, visit Jalapeños! My new favorite place. Spanish style restaurant with flare. Dont let the outside strip mall window scare you! The stunning beauty of this restaurant feels like Spain. Lots of space for large parties & children. Prices range fair to great! An entire menu section devoted to tapas! Flavorful Food is thoughtfully and beautifully prepared. The warm atmosphere is friendly and inviting. My friend ordered chicken and I had chile relleno. The beans & rice were delicious and delicately seasoned. The chicken chile relleno was smothered in tangy salsa verde and cooked perfectly.While I would have preferred larger pieces of chicken instead of shredded chicken, the dish worked. It's not spicy and not over salted. Felt full and satisfied. We will return to try more dishes.

I have no pictures this time, but I'll be going back and updating my review. The food was good. I love tapas. Service was equally good. I will be giving it another try with kids to comment on whether it is also appropriate and approved by little ones. Flan was good. The scallops in saffron were great. Ceviche Acapulco is a no repat from me, though, since it was stingy in seafood, abundant in yummy sauce. But I can make that at home, and I've had it in countless places that did a better job. The shrimp seemed to have been pre-cooked and not by lemon juice, so a bit of a let-down

I love the small plates. My kids love the menu. Tacos are so good. Paella for 2 is scrumptious.

Clean establishment. Went during lunch and had the carnitas tacos. Food was bland. Waitress appeared to be in a hurry and not very attentive.

The restaurant was ok. Staff and Service were also just ok,not great! Our waitress didn't understand what we were even saying when ordering. We had to show her the menu. The food was terrible ? and so were the alcoholic beverages. Actually, 1 of the worst Mexican restaurants I've had! It's really hard to get this food wrong, but there was absolutely 0/NO SEASONING OR MEXICAN FLAVOR IN THE FOOD AT ALL!
