El Jaripeo Mexican Restaurant

This is the best Mexican food that we’ve found in the area. Decent food with decent prices.

Burrito Mexicana is the best. Try it. Two for Tuesday’s and Thursday’s is a must. We love this place.

If I could give more stars, I would. This is THE BEST Mexican restaurant in the area… I ordered the steak quesadilla and it was awesome! They add a cheese sauce over the top which is so AMAZING! My friends both ordered the chimichanga and loved it! Their food is so good and their salsa is so addicting! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
It was a busy night due to it being Thursday (2 for 1 margaritas) but the staff worked very fast to get you seated as soon as possible. The staff also deserves more stars since they are extremely fun and entertaining!
I cannot wait to go back!

My wife and I are from Arizona and love good Mexican food. We have found a few good Mexican food restaurants in the Midwest, but most are average at best. This place is very good and pretty authentic — which means a little bit bland for my taste — I like spicy. The chili relleno was a tiny bit mushy, but I’m probably being a bit picky, but it had a very good flavor and some heat. Nothing was a disappointment — everything was good to very good and the service was excellent — definitely a good place to try when in the area

Fast service and delicious. Friendly staff. The burritos were huge and the kids loved their meals.

Very authentic Mexican food and atmosphere. Friendly & attentive staff. Flavors of dishes is vibrant. Salsa tastes freshly made and a nice bite to it. House creamy green sauce is a great accent to the meal-​typical Mexican hot! If you enjoy real authentic Mexican food you need to try this place. Soon to come is a branch of this restaurant in Seymour-can’t wait!

Had a hankering for Mexican food, decided on el Jaripeo. The guacamole was great! Food can be pricey, but it was worth it. We give the waiter ⁵⁄₅ stars.

Fish tacos are excellent as is the Chile releno dinner. Service is prompt sincere and prompt.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. They have a large menu with many options. We enjoyed the outdoor patio. I’ve been to most of the Mexican restaurants in the area and this was my favorite.

Service is ok, margaritas taste like some kind of inexpensive premix and the food is as bland as I have ever tasted. A good crowd when we were there early on a Thursday evening so we expected it was popular for the food. Only reason I can come up with for the good crowd is that the food is inexpensive. All in all, I felt this place was giving the absolute minimum effort.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. I absolutely love coming here. Great prices! Buy one get one free margaritas every Tuesday and Thursday. I highly recommend the mixed veggie plate! So delicious! No other Mexican restaurant compares to this one!

It’s okay. The tables, chairs and tiki bar are adorable and had me liking it when I first walked in. The salsa was alright and the queso cheese bean dip was good. But… from there it was downhill. First of all, the menu is huge which I think is a bit too much for a mexican restaurant (like a commercial mexican restaurant). Of all there was to try to decide from… there was no veggie burrito and I had to tell her how to do one (rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, salsa and guacamole (simple authentic)) which I don’t think they did very well on that simplicity. Secondly… they didn’t have Grand Marnier for the side to add to the margarita which is a classic add in. Overall, my view is, the place is adorable as heck but the food and drink… not so much that I’d rave about. Great to meet a bunch of people for atmosphere alone but that’s it.

El Jaripeo is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Fox Cities. They have the most delicious cheese dip… and the bean dip is pretty good, too!
Constant favorites are the Texas Burrito, Enchiladas Supremas, Fajita Nachos, Tacos Carne Asada, and the Mixed Vegetable plate!

The food is so good but the portions are so tiny. 11.00 for my meal and I left hungry

Good food, fair prices and fast service.

It’s cheap and fast, even quite friendly service, but we all got sick after eating here.

Meh. All I can say is, MEH. I ordered the Taquito platter and I got two, very small and nearly meatless fried tacos. They were incredibly dry, even with the flavorless guac. The fresh salsa that came with them was so old! I was appalled that they were still serving it. The tomatoes were soft, transparent and mushed together with sad jalapeños and onions. You can check em out on the pictures I posted.
The enchiladas were what kind of earned this place a 1.5 star review. The sauce was quite good! I understand that what I grew up knowing as enchiladas, can be completely different to someone from another region of Mexico. No matter how they are made, all will be well if they are delicious! The chicken filling was a bit dry and the tortillas weren’t fried, so they were really chewy. And to top it a off they smeared a giant wad of sour cream on too, no bueno. But again, I really liked the sauce.

This place rocks! The food was great and authentic! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I plan on going there again.

Oscar & Tony are awesome!
There is a new location in Darboy on Calumet.
They are doing what they can to spoil us with fantastic food & drink.
They have Dos Equis on tap now and another killer margarita called the «Jaripeo». It’s delicious. This one isn’t fruity or super sweet. I think Pancho came up with it. What… you don’t know Pancho? Of course you do! He can bring you a beer by balancing it on top of his head. Seriously!: D He has mad skills!

We eat here weekly. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly. Tuesday and Thursdays buy one get one margaritas.
