If you've ever wondered why there's always a queue of people and a multitude of cars parked at the main road of Val Vista south of the off ramp from the Red Mountain 202, better get in line then because you'll soon find out when you get to order at Jalapeño Buck's. It's all going to be worth the wait whether you're dining at one of the outside tables or grabbing a take out, especially if you love BBQ or Mexican food- or both!

Set at a casual spot just at the edge of a citrus grove at Val Vista, @jalapenobucks' meats are some of the most delicious and tender smoked flavors you'll find served on soft buns. Their brisket, sandwiches, ribs and arguably one of the best pulled pork in The Valley are complemented by fantastic BBQ sauce and delectable Mexican soul food selection of burritos, quesadilla, salsa, chips and sides. If you're feeling adventurous, be sure you don't miss out on their peanut butter and jelly brisket sandwich. (Trust us on this one, you won't be forgetting it anytime soon.)

Pro tip: the portions are huge but go upgrade from 1/4 lb to a 1/2 pounder for just $2! Thank us later.
