Delicious Mexican food! There are so many choices and even on a busy Taco Tuesday or Thursday night they have great service and great drink specials - 2 for 1 Margaritas! I love the cheese dip and we usually enjoy chips and cheese dip while waiting for our entrees. I love the Mixed Vegetable Plate which is Mexican rice with grilled chicken, California medley and cheese dip. It is yummy and just as good as leftovers the next day. I also love the Texas Burrito (with grilled chicken or steak), which has mexican rice and refried beans with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream stuffed inside, with cheese dip on top. Friendly people and quick service and delicious food - one of our favorite places in town! read more

The food is very bland. The prices don't match the poor quality. There are much better Mexican restaurants in the area. You will see this Mexican restaurant in Appleton and the surrounding cities. They serve subpar Mexican food. Don't waste your money. read more

Delicious Mexican! Did takeout here for the whole family, it was so good. Calling to order was easy enough, and when I got there to pick it up they had everything sitting out waiting for me, including the credit card slip to sign so it was 100% contactless (I wouldn't have minded interacting with someone to pick it up, but it was a nice touch). Two people walked by and asked if I had everything, which was also nice. I got the mahi-mahi-tacos, which were good. I had been craving fish tacos so I got those, didn't quite live up to the hype in my mind but I think that was more on me than on them since I set my expectations too high. The rice was tasty, as well as the guac. The queso isn't quite my style, but others in my family enjoyed it. Pricing is maybe a little on the high side, but you also get a ton of food so it's worth it. I'll be back for sure! read more

Been going for a few years, several times a month. This place is fantastic and CONSISTENT. Great food, great service, every time.

Love the free chips and salsa. The food tasted good. Bring your appetite and enjoy your meal.

We had a very large group have dinner hear. The place met all our needs. Food and service was excellent. It was someone's birthday and they did a great celebration. read more

Jaripeo Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Went there for lunch and was reminded how good this place is. Their lunch menu has super affordable prices, their service is fast (seriously lightning-quick) efficient, and friendly. The venue is clean, festive, and tastefully decorated. The food, of course, is delicious! They have the best tortilla chips and their main courses never miss. Drinks are also good. Plus, you can get a complimentary dum-dum sucker at the end--what not to love? read more

Not good. Chips not salted, salsa bland, no specials on cinco other than raspberry margarita. Vibe was meh. Not going back. Ugh.

Our family enjoys the food, great service and atmosphere. Highly recommended if you're in that area.

Great food, friendly staff, would highly recommend. Food ordered takeout and very fast.

Ugh still so good. Always my first request when I come back to Appleton. My mom and sister both got the 3 steak tacos which comes w a little side of cheese and pico to make your own! read more

Jaripeo Mexican Grill - Alambre Jaripeo Fajita (chicken) - Mexican Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

It was an alright experience. Staff was very nice. I got the fajitas - it was mid. Don't know if I would go back again.

Tried this place on a Tuesday night. They were quite busy but managed to get a quaint table in the corner of the bar area. It was 2 for 1 margaritas! The tortilla chips were better than expected, they weren't those sawdust tasting black speckled ones. Wish they were salted chips tho. Guess I gotta keep getting those at chili's. Ah well. The salsa had great flavor to dip the chips in. Ordered the queso fundido with chorizo, fabulous flavor! I ordered a ground beef taco with cheese, cilantro, onion and tomato which was also very good. Hubby ordered the Mexican grill special which was excellent as well. The steak and chicken in it was extremely tender and not leathery like some places serve. Manny was very friendly and made sure we were all good. We had a few servers stop at our table and all were amazing. We will definitely be back at this establishment very soon! read more

The only place in these parts of Wisconsin you can get a decent Margarita! And the food is damn good too!! The staff are some very handsome young guys and they've worked there a long time. The work environment must be great because they stay for long tenure read more

We came here for margaritas as part of our group margarita tour. There were about 18 of us in the group. Service was good. They brought baskets of chips with salsa to set out amongst everyone at the bar. The drinks were good size and reasonably priced. We have been here before and would return! read more

Jaripeo Mexican Grill - Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Enjoyed visiting this place for dinner when we were in town. Great meet place for friends and relatives. No tres leche for dessert though.

The entire experience was horrible. It was a 2 for 1 margarita night. I got an original and my date got a frozen mango. They both had some weird pickle/fermented taste... it was gross. The host sat us, someone came and brought us chips and salsa, someone else took our drink order, someone else brought us our drinks and then We waited and waited for a waiter. Finally I chugged my drink and set it at the side of the table which brought yet a different staff member around asking if I wanted another. Our food finally came and so did 2 more drinks that we didn't want or ask for and we didn't drink them. My food was cold and not what I ordered, my date had a few bites of his but it was soggy and lukewarm. Still no clue who our waiter was. I will never go back and will be letting everyone know how bad it was. read more

Delicious food! We were seated and served by the owner, I think, and I saw him interact nicely with his employees. Nice vibe among the team. Also my wide's na margarita was presented beautifully. Again, the food was delicious. read more

Had a great meal with my daughter. We got there for double bubble so we both got 2 margaritas for the price of 1. We had a long dining experience. read more

Terrible! If you know what's good for you, stay far away from this place. The service was subpar from the get go. We waited a decent amount of time to be greeted after being sat and for our orders to be taken which was strange since it was very slow at the time. When it came time to pay the bill, both my card and my partner's card were declined. The waitress with the long brown hair tied back started talking poorly about us in Spanish and said we were complaining when all I asked was if they had an atm. She called over a server named AMADO who was blatantly rude. Very loudly in Spanish he had said they 'your card has no money, you can't complain because you don't have money." He didn't think we spoke or understood Spanish which is hilarious in it itself but besides the point. I used that same card that was declined to retrieve money from the atm and pay my bill. Funny that I was able to do that since 'I have no money' I left the money on our table and dipped but came back in within ten minutes to speak to a manager but no manager was on duty at the time. I called AMADO out on his comments and he admitted his guilt but never once apologized for his actions. And for that, he should be fired. AND they have no soap in the women's restroom. Just saying, rude and unclean. Update: I spoke with Laura, the owner yesterday and she was apologetic about the situation. However, when we went into the restaurant to speak with Alberto we didn't get that same vibe. He wasn't attentive to what we had to say and allowed people to interrupt our conversation at times. If you actually cared about our concern then you'd have a private conversation with us. He did give us a full refund but to top it off he wound up giving us a gift card with no balance as a way of enticing us to come back in. Definitely not. read more

Bland and terrible food. The waitstaff is super nice but man do they need to get good tasting food in there.

The food was sooo good and the service was excellent!! Very clean restaurant. We started eating too fast to get a pic ... yummy!

I don't expect fast service anywhere on a Friday evening, but service here was slower than molasses in the middle of wintertime! Took FOREVER to get any drinks before our meal. Once we ordered, we'd asked to get refills, which only came after we were served our food over 45 minutes later, and we had to ask again for them. When a man (who was not our waitress) brought our food to the table, he was wearing an arm length oven mitt, which implied the meals & plates were hot or "fresh" out of the MICROWAVE! When we began eating our meals, the plates were not only just at room temperature, so were all our meals. Was extremely disappointed in the service. It definitely was an indicator on how mediocre the entrees would be. The menu has entirely too many options for any one entree to be "exceptional ". One star is being generous. read more

We were in a group of 16 and service was as good as if there were just 2 of us. Servers were attentive and smiling. I didn't check with everyone but those I asked really enjoyed their food. I got the quesadilla relleno which was delicious and came with a nice spoonful of guacamole, as well as sour cream, lettuce, tomato and rice. My husband got the shredded beef chimichanga plate and there were lots of mmm, mmm's coming from him. It had a nice sauce over it which was different but delicious. Almost deducted a star due to the sauce they serve with the chips. It was very thin and almost watery - hard to eat without dripping all over. One of the most entertaining highlights was the waiter bringing out 5 plates at a time balanced along his arm! read more

Didn't really care for this restaurant! I like a traditional burrito not a burrito half closed and open on both ends. The rice was bland, with no seasoning at all. Maybe better once the restaurant is back to normal not curb side!! read more

Found this on Yelp with help from Garmin. The nachos fajitas with chicken and chorizo was the very best we've have and trust me we've have a lot all over the country. This was was the top pick. Frozen margarita is a good 9 out of ten. We'll be back. read more

Food actually was amazing, I have to say. BUT giving it 3 stars because I ordered vegetarian fajitas (probably because I'm vegetarian, right?) and they gave me rice and beans on the side, when I asked if they were vegetarian the waiter had to check and when he came back he said "both the rice and beans are made with chicken broth." I'm not faulting them for not having the vegetarian options, we are in Wisconsin after all, I'm annoyed that they didn't check first before serving a vegetarian a meat soaked side dish. And then the waiter goes "umm that ok?" Well no not really but thanks anyways. read more

The taste is amazing and so many options for vegetarians! The service is really good too!

Came here twice once when it was new and the second time a few weeks later. I'm happy to say the got their service issues figured out because we really enjoyed the food when we were there. I had the chimichanga and the wife hade the taco salad. Neither disappointed. Bartenders not the best but stuck with the Dos XX which was a bargain. Overall above average American Mex food with good portion size at a fair price. read more

Waitstaff is phenomenal, but the food is average and over priced. Can get same quality for less cash at other Mexican restaurants in the valley. The place used to be a pizza place aimed at kids with a game room - el jaripeo did not adjust the lighting since then and it is SO BRIGHT in the dining room. You feel like you're on stage, and it's awkward... not great ambiance. Overall, ok place, but nothing to write home about. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars!!! Came in and sat down lady brought our chips and salsa (no way someone could mess that up right) well the salsa was frozen like had ice in it!!! So that was my red flag right there that I'm not getting anything but a side of rice (which was decent).my boyfriend on the other hand got this quesadilla thing with chicken, it came out within 4 min of ordering it with the plate burning hot (microwaved). He took a couple bites, then said the chicken tasted weird spitting it out!!! Less then 5 min after having a couple bites, he went to the bathroom not feeling good!!! When the waitress came back to give us the check she noticed that the plate was full of his nasty chicken and I explained what happened, she was very kind and took that off our bill. But this isn't the first time I have been here and had awful food have had hair in food too!!!! read more

This has become our go-to spot for Mexican food. My girlfriend loves their mahi tacos and I love their carne asada tacos. Prices are good and the drinks are stiff which is a plus for me:). I have also never had bad service since we have have been coming here. The waiters that we've had have been attentive and funny. There is also a patio for the summer that is nice if you want to eat outside. Get the queso dip for the chips. read more

Great selection of Mexican American Dishes, very reasonably priced for lunch. They were even willing to change a combo platter for my daughter to accommodate her picky eating habits. Prompt service, delicious salsa, and a fun atmosphere definitely put them on our list of places to go again. read more

Can't beat the lunch specials. Also give you a lunch special punch card, 6 and get the next one free. It's good food. Chips and salsa, as usual, are great. The service is fast and friendly. Not a lot to say other than it's great food, good prices, and fantastic service. read more

This is the worst restaurant I've been to in a long time. Service is horrible. First we just are waiting to be seated by somebody , when we finally get seated the waitress was extremely rude when we asked for separate plates or saucers for the chips and salsa she told us that people don't do that normally. Finally we order our meals and the waitress gets funny because of us asking for the plates. 45+ minutes to get the food. Just now as I am sitting in here typing this review out they got meat into my vegetarian meal. The manager was super nice about it but would definitely not recommend this place to anyone read more

Great service & great food! Oh, and the skinny margarita is a great delight! Salsa had a fresh flavor with a little bite of heat making it perfect for an appetizer. Ground beef in the chimichanga had a lot of flavor. Guacamole had a lot of flavor also, not "blah" tasting as you get at many places. This place is off any beaten path but definitely worth going to!! read more
