Mahi tacos
Tanya K.

Well.. let's start off and say the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Other than that the service was slow and the food was just meh. The saving grace was the queso dip, probably some of the best we've had. However the salsa tasted like marinara sauce and the tacos had no flavor. My husband had the enchiladas supreme and he said it wasn't good. I wanted to like the place but we probably wouldn't visit again.

Outstanding service and food! Stopped here for the first time with my father. We both love Mexican food and this restaurant did not disappoint. My father had the Mahi mahi tacos, and I had chicken tacos with zucchini, squash onions, and peppers. Both dishes were delicious! Great homemade chips with salsa! Very nice plating. Thursdays they have a two for one margarita special! I love margaritas! I had a peach margarita, and a raspberry margarita, both blended. The peach margarita was very strong and really didn't taste very good, but the raspberry margarita was great. I definitely felt light headed after drinking both of them, lol! Overall great experience, and I look forward to returning!

Been coming to this chain for about 10 years now, with this location being the newest and the flagship. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I've tried almost every item on the menu over the years. One thing that I never see on the menu at Mexican restaurants up here in northern Wisconsin is frijoles charros. For those of you who are unfamiliar of what they are, they're somewhat like bean soup but much-much tastier. Being one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area, I kept asking the owner, Antonio, if he were to ever consider adding the dish to the menu. Being the amazing restauranteur he is, Antonio was gracious and nice enough to prepare enough for me and four of my friends especially for us. Wow! I was floored and very thankful. How's that for customer satisfaction? If you haven't tried this place yet, please consider doing so. However, bear in mind that El Jaripeo offers authentic Mexican cuisine (comida Mexicana). So, if Tex-Mex is your thing, this place offers so much better. :)

If the taste of the food were as good as the presentation, it would have been worth five stars…read more A colleague referred us here and we were excited to find a good Mexican food place as I'm a lifelong Texan until last year and I know Mexican food, both TexMex and authentic. Sadly, it was near flavorless with the exception of the red and green sauce on my enchiladas. Hubby ordered a mignon chimichanga with cheese sauce and I ordered the enchiladas with red sauce, green sauce, and cheese sauce. Both of us had rice and beans. Hubby's chimichanga had very few pieces of meat but LOTS of grilled peppers and onions. The vegetable pieces were large and chunky. He only ate half of it and only had a bite of the rice and beans. Both of them were flavorless that might as well been microwaved from a pouch or can. The trio of enchiladas were ordered with fajita chicken. Each was covered with a different sauce. I tried all but only ate the cheese sauce one as it gave some moisture to the chicken and it wasn't so dried out. The green sauce was so acidic it almost took my breath away. Perhaps it was on the verge of needing to be thrown it. Rice had no veggies, barely pink in color and no flavor. Beans were creamy but again no flavor. Overall the food was super bland and not tasty at all. I'm unsure why people pay those prices for flavorless food. Perhaps it all goes back to the presentation...a smear of sour cream and standing chimichanga must be impressive to Appleton locals. Service was just okay. We had to ask someone else for help as our server was nowhere to be found. She did apologize and said she was folding silverware in the other room. It's a beautiful restaurant but they should redirect some of that money to hiring a chef who can bring life to the flavor profile of the food.

First of all, the ambiance of this place is impeccable. I don't know who they paid to do the…read moreinterior design, but it was well worth the investment. The lighting was perfect and the music was catchy without being intrusive. In short, Antojitos nails the balance between trendy and original that so many restaurants strive for. It's not just a pretty face, either--they serve fresh, elevated Mexican cuisine that delivers on quality but doesn't skimp on the portion sizes. Their service is also unusually fast. Once seated, we immediately received a bowl of chips and three delicious dipping sauces. If the chips had been fresh, they would have been godly. Our appetizer, the sope, was superb, and our entrees--the bajio enchiladas and a chimichanga for entrees--were delicious and filling. They also have plenty of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink options! We went with the virgin pina colada and the virgin mango margarita and enjoyed them. Overall, our experience with Antojitos could not have been better, and we highly recommend it to anyone who likes Mexican cuisine.
