El Jaripeo 5

Been to Jaripeo three times, always an amazing time. Food is absolutely amazing and delicious. Portions are perfect. Staff is friendly and attentive to your needs. Love the atmosphere. Last visit was on Valentine's Day and it was a very nice time. This place is way better than our Hispanic restaurant in town. Highly recommend this place.

I would like to have given this restaurant more but in reality this place is understaffed and not that impressive compared to the other Hispanic restaurants in town. If you’re looking for the typical Hispanic restaurants you find in most towns, this is you spot. We had to wait on everything, and our waiter was very disorganized. My wife did not receive all of her food, but the waiter was so slow she asked me not to even say anything because it would be to late by the time we would’ve received it. The only time we seen our waiter was approximately 5 minutes after we was set, he took our drink order and was gone for quite some time before he returned with the wrong beverage for me but I took it anyway because it had been so long. That’s when he took our food order and we didn’t see him again until he delivered our food. From that point my wife had done ran out of water and I gave her mine. We never received refills or any professional waiting from staff. Food was mediocre at best and over priced for its quality. Probably won’t get a return visit from us while we’re in town.

Unfortunately I went on a Sunday and didn't realize they offer a Sunday buffet. The buffet looked good but I didn't want that much food. The kitchen didn't put out their best meal on this day as, I'm sure they were very busy keeping the buffet full. Also, they were very busy because I arrived as the churches were having their after services meal. The service was good and the meals I've had here before were delicious.
