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.

With steak or chicken breast on the side, it's a delicious, filling meal - for only $10.

Top the wedges with more cheese, lettuce, tomato, potato, carrot, jalapeño, sour cream and a fiery red-chile sauce. The combination of flavors is remarkable: spicy, sour, verdant, savory. These work together to create that rarest of things in our... More »
