We got takeout and the jalapeños in Fairhaven is exponentially better than any other jalapeños in the Bellingham area. I’ve had some pretty bad Mexican food in my life, and the waterfront Bellingham jalapeños is not a restaurant I would go back to. But the one in Fairhaven was incredible and a full 10 out of 10! The service and our experience with our servers at the door was lovely and the food we got was absolutely incredible!

The food is consistently bad, the wait staff will patronize you if you don’t understand something. The management staff did not care about my food or my drinks and were rude to my face. I WOULD EAT MY OWN POOP BEFORE GOING HERE AGAIN. They falsely advertise their prices and rudely charge you for things. DO NOT EAT HERE WORST PLACE

Food was not good . This is the 2nd time we tried it in fairhaven. There were no chips or salsa with our. Meal. The tortilla soup is terrible. We think the owner has 2 many places and canot control the quality. This used to be good sorry but will not try again. Hope the owner takes notice

The waitress was unfriendly and never came back around for drink orders. Food is expensive for less than average food.

Met a friend here this week for a margarita and a quick bite. I ordered queso, as an appetizer, which is usually good, but the tortilla chips tasted rancid. We told the waitress and she brought out a new basket of chips, which also tasted terrible, as if the fryer oil was really old. Jalapenos has been our regular meeting spot for years, but after this disappointing experience, not anymore.

Good location, terrible parking, ordered chicken fajitas no flavor did not come on the sizzling iron plate absolutely no flavor, good beans and rice and marywere really good and great service, pico de gio was not good tasted a couple days old and hardly any flavor. Very disappointing.

Portions were large, asada taco meat was dry but my shrimp and veggies were the highlight. The strawberry basil margarita was yummy. Close to the train station.
Nothing like brown, old guacamole, stale chips, and warm margarita to realize you’re never going back to a place.

Great atmosphere and excellent service! The street tacos aren't the best but good for the area. The chips and salsa are GREAT!

Service was great and friendly. No Wifi. Got food poisoning that hit a couple hours later. Probably the shrimp-tacos. Great response and follow-up by the restaurant-chain to track down and figure out the source of food contamination. they seem to take this very seriously -as they should.

Fun place for dinner, great waiting staff. We had a group of 8 and they were patient with us for ordering and all of our questions. Food came out fast, hot and tasted great. Would recommend.

10 out of 10 do not go…. This was the saddest excuse for Mexican food. First then had no fountain pop… then they didn’t have orange juice for the carnitas. Then we asked about the bottled pop and the only had 1 bottle left… why bother opening?We got the chicken quesadilla I’ve had better ones on a kids menu.. taco salad Wendy’s is better than this. Where was the cheese.. oh wait we found 4 prices of shredded cheese in it.Turns out they got orange juice and can make the carnitas now… how did they braise it in 20 minutes. Ohh it’s just 5 chucks of pork that are dry and not braised like real carnitas.Lastly we got the steak fajitas. I’m not sure but every time I’ve ever had them they come out on a sizzling hot cast iron skillet.. these look sad. Like I could feel the depression from the chef in this dish alone.Stay away from this place. You’re better off not eating at all. Since they seem to have nothing in stock except for water..
