When you walk in, it's like a different world. The ceiling is painted blue, with clouds, to mimic the sky. The walls are bright oranges, blues and greens. Art litters the walls - suns, moons, decorations. It's a Mexican restaurant alright, but it's fun, too. When we went in, it was very quiet; I only saw one other couple. We waited a minute or so at the front before the waiter fetched us and seated us.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! It replaced El Mariachi's, which is sad, but I love how they redecorated.
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice. I never had the older restaurant, but I'm glad El Jaripeo is there.
ReplyDeleteI thought the food was the best and so was the service i eat there like every other night now. Compestre use to be my favorite until i ate at El Jaripeo. The people are so nice and i love the atmophere. The ceiling is blue with clouds and the walls look amazing kind of like your in the desert. I never have ate at a restaurant like this one. GOOD JOB!!! Cant wait till I go back.
ReplyDeleteWow have you seen the specials they run?? Great food great price I think we found a winner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! I'm glad you liked it. I really enjoyed the place.
ReplyDeleteI love this place, I personally find Campestre to be quite fake when it comes to real Mexican food. And though I do love El Jaripeo, I cannot eat their shrimp there. The first time I ordered them they were ruined tasting, and I could not eat shrimp for months, I was finally brave enough to try again and it just has a weird taste, I do not know if it is me, because they were huge shrimp, and I always eat small shrimp and maybe the flavor was just more strong, or if something was wrong with them. But I love everything else they have that I have tried, their salsa beats Campestre by a mile, again in my opinion. Everything also depends on what taste is perfered.
ReplyDeleteI cannot say I'm an expert on Mexican food, by any means. I do like both restaurants, though!
