A true Tustin landmark and staple in the community. One of the best Mexican food restaurants in orange county. A family owned and operated restaurant with top notch Mexican cuisine. I highly reccomend this place. If you are passing through the area or just craving Mexican food done traditional and right, then come to Jalepanõs in Tustin!

Food is better than avg with good service and a salsa bar. Chips only 50 cents unbeatable. (Update:Dec 2022) Pre packed condiments now, Chips are now 1 dollar. Medium drink 2.35 Asada burrito 9.75 Asada plate 11.95. I like the wet burritos here but if u dont mind the cheese i order the burrito and then jus throw some of their green sauce on top

Update....still the best. Back again...five stars is not enough. Had the crispy beef taco and enchilada plate and it was so good. Visiting my hometown all the way from Tx, have to have carne asada taco and cheese enchilada plate. Perfection as always.

This is a solid 4 star restaurant. I had the nachos and my husband had the carnitas plate. Both were good. The nachos were a little messy so keep that in mind when ordering. Mild salsa was basically blended tomatoes, but my husband said the spicier ones were okay. Overall I might come again if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way.

This is the best taco spot in all of OC. The food is so authentic, fresh, and consistent every single time. I swear my sister and I eat here every week. If you’re vegan they do potato tacos!!! And they’re bomb! I get them every time I come. Their salsa and chips also make the experience because the salsa is so good—that I compare it to every other salsa that I eat now. I love this place, I’ve grown up going here and it’ll always be a staple Mexican food spot for my fam and I. If you haven’t tried them yet, you MUST!!! you’ll be blown away
