“ I went to Jefes by El Jaripeo for the first time today and was was very happy with the experience. They took over the old truck stop restaurant and completely renovated it to the point I don't even recognize the inside as the old restauant! I got a steak fajita and their horchata, both of which were amazing. My brother got a cheese steak quesadilla which he also loved, he got a margarita that was very strong so you definitely get your money's worth. Portion sizes were pretty big overall, I have enough left over for a second meal. The employees were all very kind and they gave great service. I will definitely be coming back in the near future! ”
“ Great restaurant - definitely will be back. Enjoyed the seafood chimichangas. Not only was the flavor spot on but they arrived at the table quickly. Great presentation. This is a must when visiting Waupaca. ”
“ I can't remember if I reviewed Los Jaripeos but I'll do it again anyway, since we've been back twice already. The service is friendly, attentive and fast. All delivered with a smile. The chips and salsa are delivered and we've tried the bean dip too, it does not disappoint. If you haven't by yet, you should! If it's Mexican cuisine you're craving, look no further. ”
“ First visit A Great Food! Great Menu! Great Service! Would visit again in a minute. Wish they were in Milwaukee! ”
“ Had a great evening out with friends at Los Jaripeos in Oshkosh. I opted for a chicken taco salad which was very flavorful while a friend opted for enchiladas. She was impressed with them after recently having them someplace else-she felt these were even better! Great downtown option! ”
“ Very friendly & attentive waitress. Big menu to choose from, tradition menu along with some American options like cheeseburgers. We didn’t wait too long for food. There was a little mix up with one of our orders but the waitress rectified the mistake, even though we weren’t expecting it. Which exceeded our expectations. Food was really good, fresh and portion sizes were big. Definitely had leftovers. Very fun atmosphere, staff also came to the table to sing happy birthday. ”
“ Great Mexican food... clean quality ingredients. Fresh chips and salsa- yum! House margaritas on the rocks were so good and complimented the burritos and enchiladas nicely! The horchata and flan were delicious too! Great people working hard to serve you. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back for more :) Thank you!! ”
