Arrogant and indifferent service. Terrible location--in a nondescript strip mall. But the real problem was a chicken entree that was so rancid that the smell took your breath away! To its credit, management took one look (whiff?) and whisked away the plate with the rotten food. But they later lied to the health department, which was investigating the food-handling procedures.... more

After spending a day at the boat show in old town Annapolis we drove to Jalapenos because of it's rating on Trip Advisor. As mentioned in prior reviews, it's located in a strip mall between a Christian book store and a Dollar Store and the restaurant's facade is non descript. The interior is dark since the drapes are closed to... more

Wonderful!

We had a great Spanish meal here, and the service was perfect too. The lovely decor and atmosphere inside the restaurant compensate for the unexpected strip mall location. This restaurant is not in the historic center of Annapolis, but is located near the new Annapolis Town Center and close to the Annapolis Mall, so it can be a delightful end... more

My wife and I just returned from a Labor Day get-away to Annapolis, MD. We went to Jalapeno’s on Saturday night after seeing this restaurant ranked #1 by Trip Advisor for Mexican food. It was relatively easy to get to, considering it is located just off of Hwy 2. I was a little skeptical when we drove up to a... more

In a town full of mediocre restaurants that cater to tourists, Jalapeno's is arguably the best restaurant in Annapolis. Though the location is a bit unfortunate (an old strip mall), once you walk in the door the atmosphere is wonderful. The good thing about the location is that it is off the tourist tracks, so it caters more to locals,... more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The tapas and Sangria are amazing ! There are also plenty of delicious entrees. The food is completely authentic Spanish and Mexican (not Tex-mex) with an emphasis on fresh ingredients. The food is not overly spicy, but is seasoned perfectly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Plan on relaxing and enjoying... more

My husband and I loved this little restaurant tucked into a small strip mall behine Parole Towne Ctr. I wasn't sure at first if it was mexican or spanish. Really enjoyed the tapas---emapanadas and soup for me was great along with the cosmo. Waitress was helpful and attentive. Interior is quaint yet inviting. more

The only reason they are getting two stars instead of one it that my hubby loved his Posole Soup. He didn't like his beef chimichanga or any of the side dishes. My fish tacos were very salty, with an amazingly paltry amount of fish. Spanish rice was not good. My black bean soup was passable. Sangria nothing special. Overall, we... more

My husband and I ate here on a Friday evening. I called to see if they had a reservation available around 7:15 p.m. They had nothing until 8:15 p.m. We decided just to show up and see if by chance, something was available. Well, we got lucky. We were seated and about 5 minutes later our waiter came over to... more
