" If you love affordable but filling meals, this is the place for you. I was skeptical at first given the location, but it exceeded my expectations! I had a cheeseburger and loved every bite. Don't forget to try the hot sauce if you're a heat lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with the service on my last visit. My order was mixed up and I had to wait longer than expected for a replacement. The food was good when I finally got it, but the slow service disappointed me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of trying their tamales and enjoyed the authentic taste! It’s rare to find such rich flavors in a food truck. I also appreciated how they manage to keep things clean. Definitely a place to revisit when craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jalapeño is one of my favorite finds! The service is unfailingly friendly and the prices are great for the quantities. However, I did notice some inconsistencies with the freshness of the chicken in my recent burrito order. It was a bit underwhelming. I'd still recommend it for their street corn and nachos - those never disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great tacos, but I came here once and the service wasn't great; forgot my side order. Had to wait quite a while, which was frustrating. I think the food makes it worth it though. I’m likely to give it another try soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with my friends after hearing good things and was pleasantly surprised. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality is superb! I had their chicken taco and it surpassed my expectations. I’ll definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jalapeño is a special find. There’s something about their beef burrito that transports me straight to Mexico! I love the flavors, and the staff is always so welcoming. My only wish is that they extend hours a bit, as it fills up quickly. " (*Curated Review*)
