Description
CLOSED Another entry on north county's strong roster of authentic Mexican restaurants. Taqueria el Jalapeño is a tiny strip-mall storefront - look for the mustachioed jalapeño wearing a sombrero - offering tasty tacos, tortas and other taqueria favorites. Must-try dishes include huaraches, thick, oblong corn tortillas topped with your choice of meat as well as beans, pico de gallo, lettuce and sour cream. The enchiladas michoacanas aren't standard cheese-smothered enchiladas, but thin, fried tortilla wedges in a spicy red-chile sauce, topped with potato, carrot, lettuce and sour cream. With steak or chicken breast on the side, it's a delicious, filling meal - for only $10.
