We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was perfect! It was the middle of the week so it was empty which worked in our favor. All of our food came out quickly and hot plus it was quiet inside. There wasn't a wait and before we could get comfortable the chips and salsa and a round of waters was on the table ready for us to enjoy. I ordered a chicken taco salad and it was perfection! My outside shell was crisped to perfection and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. I also enjoyed a sagriarita and that too was amazing! By far one of the better sangriaritas I have had. If you are on the far east side and looking for a quick delicious place to eat; stop here. read more

Delicious food a little chilly in the winter. The decor is amazing! I brought my husband and kid here for nostalgic reasons because I used to come to this place as a kid myself and it was pretty much what I remembered. We ordered beans and rice for our kid. I had a Horchata and the Fatija Cozumel with chicken, bacon, chorizo and pineapples. My husband ordered Loco Plate meal with Chile Relleno, Quesadilla, and shrimp and he liked it. Our waitress was very nice and she was very on it. Making sure that our chips were never empty in our sauce was never empty. read more

The food had zero flavor. I ordered the Arrachera, and when it was brought out it looked like it had been sitting on the side of the grill for a few hours. With it being 92 outside I was hoping to eat in an air conditioned restaurant, and at least have a cold beer but neither of that happened. I hate leaving bad reviews, but come on do better. read more

I visited this place with one of my girlfriends for dinner. She suggested the place. Very friendly and diverse atmosphere. Javier, our waiter, was wonderful. We order our dinner along with the house margarita special (frozen). It was very good! Although my rice was a little salty for my taste everything else was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for some authentic Mexican food. The sauce on the nacho plate was delicious! read more

Been coming here awhile and I love the food & staff! Always have great service and the food always leaves me satisfied.

Everything I ordered for pickup was incorrect! The tacos were dry with nothing but cilantro on them. The Choriqueso had ground beef instead of sausage. I would not recommend this restaurant. It must be under new management or ownership. Very unfortunate. Ms. Jackson read more

Just plain not good for takeaways in my opinion. Tried it several times and it's consistently not good for take out. I wanted them to be good and gave enough time in trying. It just has not improved. It's mushy for take out. read more

Super greasy food. "Mexican" food for very local people. This is not the place if you're looking to have authentic yummy food. Service is great tho, people are super nice and that's the only reason I'd go back. read more

Pesima atencion aparte que uno pide una cosa y ellos dan otra aparte ni me lo canbiaron pelo en el arros y los frijoles agrios

This spot is right around the corner from our house and I've passed it a million times so I finally decided to stop in for a meal. The interior is so much bigger than it appears and there is plenty of seating available as well as a few tables outside. Safety measures have been in place including: masks, gloves, and sanitizer. You do still have to go to the desk to pay in person so that has not changed. As for the food, I had a hard time finding something to order that didn't have some source of dairy, but we enjoyed the chips and salsa, tacos, and rice and chicken with a mushroom gravy. Food came out so fast! And the qualities and quantities were plenty. We boxed up the leftovers for the next day. read more

El Jaripeo is near to my house and I order to-go food or visit in person often, probably too often to admit. The food is good and the portions are sized nicely. I'm usually sat quickly because it is a large restaurant. However, the service can sometimes be slow, but I'm patient, especially now when everyone is just doing the best they can. I've ordered many different items from the menu, one of my favorites is Arroz con Pollo, I usually add grilled onions. I always have to order queso for the chips and salsa. They usually have special items each day of the week, for a little discount. read more

The food and margarita were both good. My only complaint is once I was seared no one came to check on me to ask for water or anything. After receiving my food I didn't see a waiter until he brought the check. Other than that everything was fine. read more

My vo workers and I get food from here all the time it is so good!! I get the taco salad almost every time and it is filled with the meat.

If you want some good authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. They support our community our teachers so support them. read more

Came on a Friday night, place was overall busy but seated as soon as we arrived. The host could have been a bit more welcoming. Our server was great. The food was seasoned well, proportions are large which is wonderful if you want some lunch for the next day. Everything we ordered was fresh tasting and hot. So if you are looking for a good amount of food that tastes good for a decent price this is your place! Minus one star just cause the place needs a good cleaning lol looks a bit outdated read more

I've been meaning to try this place and we finally had a chance to go. It was pretty good. I ordered the steak enchiladas and the meat was burnt a little (I like a char on my steak but it was kind of tough at that point) and the tortillas were fine, not quite as soft as I might have preferred. My husband ordered the taco salad with chicken. He said it was good and ate the whole thing. Now the salsa, that was very good. Tasted just like homemade at my family's get-togethers. Everything was just a tad under seasoned for us. The food is basic Tex-Mex, which is nothing to sneeze at, still very tasty. This place makes up for it though in atmosphere. That might not factor in for some, but I loved the inside of the restaurant. It reminded me a little of the Mexico pavilion at Epcot in Disney World. So it made for an enjoyable dining experience overall. read more

I'm more of a positive yelper so let us focus on the good. Beautiful spacious place. Clean and pretty fast. The crew was kind and everyone had a smile. That being said, we came in for a business lunch. It was a fifty fifty on who enjoyed thier meal. I ordered the Grilled Steak. It was way over cooked. The rice was mushy and steak chewy. Barely any cheese. I wanted to ask our waitress for something but she spent most of the meal with her back turned to us. Keep your eyes on your tables and easy on the reheating is my only advice. read more

El Jaripeo - Tacos De Carne Asada (beef tacos) - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Our server was Julien, Worst service ever. Everything we asked for he either said they ran out or that they couldn't do it. He had a really bad attitude. The only reason I gave 1 star was because the horchata was good. read more

We went here on a Sunday evening a little before 7. We were placed a to go order. The wait wasn't very long at all. The service was nice. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I would call this a steak quesadilla. This more of a steak taco or maybe steak burrito. It's so messy and greasy. The flavor is pretty good, which is why I gave a 3. Maybe dine in would be a better experience. read more

I absolutely love these tacos! The food is five stars for sure. But,They are minus a star because the hostesses point and direct; they do not smile and are not friendly. However, the servers are great and friendly and prompt. The tacos de carne asada ... Woooow so good. Get them with cilantro and onions, and ask for lime. You will be a happy camper! I have gotten the medium margarita each time, satisfaction guaranteed. They are very large! read more

Worst Experience ever!!!!!!!! Let it be known that even before getting a server my kids and I had to make noise before anyone staring at us would take our table. I honestly do not understand how this place even stays open?!? Our food was undercooked. Our server never came back to even give us a check; so while leaving I asked to speak with someone about the quality of our food....(considering she never even came back to give us a check),she insisted on arguing with me. She questioned my server(which never returned)about how they sell "tacos and burritos"!!! But if our shrimp is raw, and everything tastes like expired fish......I can't imagine running a business allowing their customers to leave this angry. I will and "I REPEAT; I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE!!!!!!" And I will tell all of my friends and family as well! read more

So i want it understood that this review is under a lot of scrutiny as i use to live out in San Diego, CA which has some of the best mexican food in the US. So first of all i use to come here all the time with my family and then the place started going down hill. They started getting greedy with the prices and portions and the service was not good. BUT I WAS SO SURPRISED when i walked in here on a Wednesday night to try the place and actually LOVED it! It was refreshingly good with well seasoned meat and vegis. Their salsa also tasted much better than the last time i had been here. The service was prompt and very friendly. Bringing anything i asked for. Compared to authentic Mexican food this is probably a 2/5. But for indiana.. this is defiantly a 4/5 and will be back to try some more menu items! Check it out! read more

Service was great until closing time. Server literacy forced me to cash out when they closed. Then the servers wanted to argue that they were right by rushing me to cash out. I won't never go back again read more

When the love of your life is a far-Eastsider, it became necessary to find a great Mexican restaurant on that side of town. After many trips to Mexico and a life of eating food from south-of-the-border, I am happy to have found El Jaripeo. El Jaripeo is a run-of-the-mill Mexican eatery. There's nothing about the restaurant I find unique, and it's similar to other restaurants serving the same cuisine. El Jaripeo is a huge place, so tables are readily available, even when it's crowded. That's good for a man like me who hates to wait! El Jaripeo serves all your Mexican favorites, and their menu is large. I've enjoyed everything I've had. I'm always partial to fajitas, and I have enjoyed the chicken fajitas the most. I've also tried their shrimp fajitas; they were tasty. Portion sizes are moderate, and I have never had leftovers. During the COVID-19 crisis, I found El Jaripeo's takeout service to be convenient. The service was speedy, which minimized the time I had to be in the restaurant. El Jaripeo may not overly excite anyone, but it will never disappoint! read more
