Having been a cook in "Mexican" restaurants from New York (college), Texas, Maine, and yes Massachusets (Edgewater Cafe in Magnolia), I really enjoy Jalapenos. My mother used to cook this kind of food when I was a kid in Texas and what little this place lacks in "authenticity" is more than made up for in freshness and good service. I... more

There aren't many places to go in Gloucester--but this is one to go to. If you like Mexican then this is a great place to go and the drinks are fabulous too! They are constantly busy so be ready to wait. It is worth it. My husband and I had a fabulous time here. more

She... more

Outstanding food, great service, delicious margaritas, fun atmosphere. When the check came we realized it was not only the best meal we had during the trip--but the least expensive. more

Gloucester - should be Gualadahara - this is the real deal Mexican spot - challenging the notion that the North Shore is only seafood. more
