Jalapenos is one of those ubiquitous Mexican restaurants that line the many strip malls of Orange County. That is not to say that it isn't great Mexican food, just to say that you sometimes need to brave the Stepford-like malls of the Irvine Company (and Ladera Ranch in this case) to get good food.
I have been to Jalapenos many times, but previous to this visit, I had only ever ordered the Chile Verde or Chile Colorado (both excellent dishes, the latter being a smoky, spicy treat unique from many other places).
The fish taco is listed on the menu for $2.35 and is described as coming with cabbage, tomatoes, cliantro, onions and white sauce in a soft shell. And, in fact, it did.
The fish (Tilapia) was lightly breaded and friend and was a very good specimen of the lightly fried fish taco. The size of the taco was larger than most and the overall flavor was great. All in all, a better than average fish taco that I will eat again.
