Los Jalapenos restaurant is a nice place, where you can enjoy a nice Mexican food with your family. The atmosphere is calm and relax. The food was delicious and the customer services was on point. The girls were always asking each customer for any addition. I will come back to this place. I great option to eat.

Hands down the best Mexican food in New Paltz, if not the best I’ve ever had. My fiance and I are loyal to this place and have been customers for at least 7 years. We’ll find any reason to stop in, even if we’re just passing by New Paltz on a road trip, this is our pit stop! Our go to is the tacos, but I also love the enchiladas sizzling fajitas. The prices are great and the flavors are outstanding. Whatever they marinate the food with is a winner!! Do yourself a favor and order the tacos- I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Visited Los Jalapenos twice while in the area, first back in November and now in April. We loved it so much from our first visit that we couldn’t wait to come back. Both times our food was delicious as well as the margaritas. Great service mixed with a fun and colorful atmosphere.

Great Mexican food at a reasonable price. Beef flautas came with Spanish rice and refried beans. All were really good. Fresh chips and salsa were served when we were seated.

This Mexican restaurant has delicious food with many options for all including vegetarian. Some of our favorites are Avocado Tofu Tacos, Fresh Guacamole and chips, Chile Relleno, Fajitas, Horchata drink and the tasty desserts! The service is friendly and fast. There is outdoor seating so you can bring your pup too! Great place for a date night!

I’m not the biggest fan of Mexican food, but I was craving it since last night, and this was perfect. The food is so good. I am so full; I might fall into a food coma. Service was also great and relatively quick, though I was the only one at the restaurant aside from another table, but there were a lot of deliveries being placed! All in all, awesome spot.
