Recently redone and opened. Decor is pleasant. There is a very expansive menu. It's typical AmeriMexican fare, very well executed. We were seated quickly and brought chips and drinks. I ordered the Burrito Bandera, very nice with chicken, steak and chorizo covered with red, white, and green sauce, à la the Mexican flag. Nice rice and salad with avocado on the side. The kitchen was very quick to get our food out. Good job all around! read more

Nobody speaks English and I did not get my bacon. I didn't care for the half plate of fruit. Prices are geared for the chain 'o lakes crowd. No cream on the table nor did he bring syrup out and didn't come out to check on us after he delivered our food. They need bigger coffee cups. read more

I have tried to use a gift card here twice. First time I was told card was no good. Then I called and checked balance on card. It is valued at 40.00. On the second visit I showed them the information for the card balance and was told to bad. The owner is not here. Very shady business practices. Food was mediocre and the server was rude. Won't be back. To many other ethical place to go to. read more

Los Jaripeos should without a doubt be a five-star restaurant! The chicken/steak fajitas and the enchilada rancheros were absolutely fantastic! Every time we come back up to Oshkosh, this restaurant is going to be a must stop! If you are in the area we highly recommend a visit here! read more

Great restaurant for a family or large group. Plenty of seating. Ambiance is fun and colorful with great decorations and paintings. Feels like Mexico. Service was great. Food was authentic and priced very well. read more

Pay cash if your going to eat this mediocre food. They will fraudulently add money to your tip if paying by credit card and when confronted say "it happens sometimes". read more

Really great Mexican food I don't know what else to say. If you have room get the fried icecream! We ordered drinks as well and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

I went to Los Jaripeos for dinner this evening and I have to say I was very disappointed. The sea food burrito I ordered was free of amy kind of seafood .. I had 1 shrimp in the first one and 0 in the second. I have never been so disappointed in my life. When I mentioned it the plate got taken away and that was all. I wasn'teven acknowledged . I will never visit there again nor will I tell anyone else to eat there. read more

Awesome food and awesome flavors. Great service too. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Everyone in our party got great food and enjoyed the restaurant. Shrimp dishes are good too! 2 for 1 on margaritas on Thursday nights. read more

Always heard mixed reviews for this place, but went here for dinner for the first time and was impressed! The shredded chicken tacos were amazing, the burrito and tamale my bf had were good, and the margaritas are the best ones I've ever had! Our waiter was also awesome and did not rush us at all, told us to "take your time and relax." Which I found it nice for him to say that! Will definitely return read more

While my wife is not a huge fan of Mexican cuisine, she does love a good margarita!. We visited Los Jaripeos on a Tuesday for 2 for 1. I enjoyed my meal and my wife found several dishes she thought she would like...turns out she found one she loved. While the service wasn't super fast, we were seated in an appropriate amount of time for the amount customers in attendance. The service was very friendly, took our orders in a good manner, and had our meals to us fairly soon. I don't expect a restaurant to rush orders, it isn't fast food. I would recommend this restaurant and staff to anyone. I am probably taking some out of town family members there tonight. read more

Food was awful! They have fish tacos on the menu, one made with Haddock and one with Mahi Mahi. I ordered the Haddock ones and waiter was confused. Said he wasn't familiar with the Haddock, so I said I'll have the Mahi. Came and the fish was dry and very fishy tasting. Tacos had a little red cabbage in top and a side of mango salsa. Nothing else! The side of rice was lukewarm. $16.00 bucks for poor food! Wouldn't recommend this at all! read more

Very expensive. We went for BOGO margaritas and a small was $9! You can go down the road to Cozumel and get a large for $3! Ended up being way more than we thought. read more

Food was okay. My wife's grilled shrimp dinner was served without the vegetables, so we waited for them to catch up. Then the veggies were kind of mushy. We think frozen veggies that were boiled. Pictured is my burrito, which was okay. The cheese sauce wasn't very cheesy, but the meat tasted good and I had no problem with the sautéed veggies. All-in-all, it was okay, but the prices are way too high for the quality and level of service that you're getting. We're from Green Bay, and I'm not hometown-bragging when I say we have the same decor, much lower prices, and better tasting food at a lot of our Mexican restaurants. Just stating facts. That's not to say that Oshkosh doesn't have better Mexican restaurants; this was just our first time visiting. I would eat at Jaripeos again if the prices were lower, but I don't think it would make enough of a difference for my wife. read more

I order from here at least once a week. Definitely try the fajita steak nachos. So good!

good food, stuff drinks. overall good time. highly recommend to anyone lookin for tacos

Food was good, portion were good, lunch time was quiet, drinks were good and strong (at least the couple times we've been there) staff is typically helpful, not in a rush and friendly read more

Finally tried this place after visiting son at college several times. Keep in mind it was 3:40 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, and we were the only people eating there. Waitress was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious! Shredded chicken quesadilla with beans, Chimichanga with chunks of beef, steak tacos (Mexican style, and if you like it spicy (ME), must try the grilled chicken Habanero enchiladas. Will definitely be back!! read more

We ordered 3 items via take out from this restaurant; enchiladas sante fe, and 2 appetizers which were bean dip and queso. The total was $35 for these 3 items. We only received the enchiladas and bean dip, and when I called to ask for a credit/refund due to the forgotten queso my teenager wanted, the woman who took my order and answered the phone told me that the owner of the restaurant "packed the bag himself" and accused me of lying. They refused to give me a credit for the food I paid for and did not receive. The 2 items I paid for were small portions and nowhere near worth $35. What a disappointing business that I will never again give business to. read more

Been going to Los Jaripos forever 10 years and it's my favorite Authentic Mexican Restaurant. I'm so grateful for winning the 65 inch Roku 4K TV. Thanks to a the employees thru the years for Your Outstanding Service and the Great food and Margaritas. read more

I was the only customer at 4:30 on a Monday. I sat down at the bar and was ignored by 2 employees watching TV (a simple hello we will be right with you would have been nice). The house margarita was not good. When asked if I wanted anything else I said a water and my check. Neither arrived. When my friend showed up we sat for at least 15 minutes without anyone asking if we wanted a table. We finally sat ourselves and were ignored again. Eventually we ordered the cheese dip which seemed more like a runny bowl of milk (when we said something to the waitress she said you never know what you are going to get). The quesadilla looked like a burrito. All in all a bad experience. I recommend getting Mexican food anywhere else. read more

they have decent Mexican food. Staff are polite. Nice decor. The prices are a little higher but we still enjoy ordering. They do keep forgetting things in the to go orders though. Repeatedly they forget tortillas for my fajitas and once they forgot an entire entree and I had to go all the way back, so make sure you check your order before you leave read more

We love food. And we love tacos. We're not picky. The service was slow and uninspired. There wasn't even a drop of soap in the ladies bathroom. The lime margarita tasted like the frozen bucket my dad used to get from Woodmans. And the food, in my boyfriend's words, was slimy. Also rather pricey compared to other places we enjoy, such as Solea in Menasha. We won't be going back unless they go through an overhaul. read more

Food is mediocre at best... of course they couldn't even make the burrito I ordered correctly

Great food and great service. Complimentary chips and salsa. Soccer on the tv which is much better than football with all those recalcitrants kneeling. Stand up for the flag, you hippies! Do what your owner tells you! Only thing about this restaurant though: everyone was speaking some foreign language like French or Arabic. This is America, guys. Speak English. Must be illegals plotting some Soros-financed anti-American terrorist plot. My next stop is the ICE office because this guys must not be here legally. read more

First time hear, the first thing I notice is the shocking bright colars. The chips are awful. Servers are friendly but some customers might struggle with a language barrier. I had the chili Verde it was good but I would had liked plain white rice and like so many places it was not an option. read more

We have been to Los Jaripos quite frequently since they opened. We have always been impressed with the consistency of the experience, quality of the food, the quaintness of the "American style Mexican restaurant", and the overall crisp cleanliness. The jalapeño "Taco truck" sauce is to die for. The traditional salsas are savory as well. M's fave is the cancan burrito, mine is the chili Colorado. The carnitas, chili verde, chicken soft tacos, and chicken quesadilla are also spot on. Enjoy, visit frequently, and pass it on. read more

Worst plate of nachos ever. Chips floating in some kind of white cheese sauce. I can't say one good thing about it. Half of our group had mistakes with their orders. I'll pass on ever coming here again Sure miss Lara's read more

I felt welcomed when I walked in and my waiter answered my questions and I didn't feel rushed at all. I enjoyed my meal but I wouldn't say it was a standout to recommend. However my table wobbled and I wonder if all the tables are full just how noisy it would be. When I was paying for my meal I was never asked how my meal was, invited back or even smiled at. Will I go back. Most likely after it has been open longer. However if the same type of send off is given next time I will rethink which Mexican restaurant I will visit and this may be way down on the list. read more

Lara's was much better. They should have worked on the food as much as the décor when they redid the place. Stopped in for lunch with my 85 year old mother. She used to love Lara's Tortilla Flats. Service was good, but got the drink order wrong. Both drinks. We had two different kinds of margaritas, and ended up with the exact same kind. Food was bland. My chicken, (canned?), was tough and flavorless in my burrito. Chips and salsa were nothing special. The more I think about it...I don't think much is made from scratch...like Lara's. We both agree, sadly, that we won't be back anytime soon. Other Mexican restaurants to try or retry. Someone should get Ana back to get another restaurant going. Or, teach these people how to do it right. read more

worst service i've ever had. waited 10 minutes for menus after being seated. waited another 15 minutes for water. received our drinks before the menus. then we received our drinks blended when we asked for on the rocks. when asked for my paloma to be remade without a rim the server said "why" and walked away. i proceeded to ask another server and they brought back the same drink with the rim just wiped off, i knew because the same line i squeezed before was still in the drink and it tasted like water and tajin. i ordered the huevos con chorizo and was told i could not do eggs with chorizo on the side ????????? and after i payed and was walking out past the host stand the servers were laughing and making comments as i was walking out. honestly confusing and disgusting will not be returning read more

The food did not taste authentic to me, I could have made it at home. My husband's food was soggy and inedible. I don't like the remodeling either, tables cramped together. read more

There was only one couple sitting down when I showed up with my family, there were two employees but they didn't even acknowledge us, so we sat ourselves and waited about 10 minutes before one of them brought us menus. Also they were just sitting down. The food wasn't good at all. The enchiladas tasted like they just dumped some store bought salsa. The chips and salsa also tasted like you could have bought them at Walmart... really disappointing, the service too. read more

The waiter said "Rice and beans on the side?"...my boyfriend said "yes, on the side". We didn't realize until the bill came that it was an extra charge. A shifty way of doing things. No indication whatsoever that there would be an extra charge. Maybe our waiter is practicing to one day become good at phone scamming. Who knows. There is a reason this place had ample room on a Friday night when we couldn't get in anywhere else. Be careful when ordering from this place. read more

Would give no stars if possible. First off, when I asked for a booth, the host asked if I was sure. I know I am overweight. I asked because I was sure Mr. Incompetent. Once at the booth, it jiggled from the children whom were sitting on the other side of it. What we ordered was not made to what the menu specified. We were also charged for the missing items that the menu said came with. Waiter did not know the menu. Three separate trips for missing items alltogether. The nachos that had the restaraunts namesake in its title were soup-like in nature. My partners tacos came on cold flour tortillas with only the meat and nothing else. Waiter was arguementative about the said missing items (three trips). Later apoun checking in with my partner I found these tacos gave her diarrhea. But when I confronted the hostess about this negative experience she smiled and bordered on laughing. That is when a different waiter walked up to her and she began saying offensive things about me and my partner in spanish. Thats when I became very uncomfortable, lost my cool, and jus wanted to leave.. so I paid my bill in full and left. read more

The wait staff was incredibly kind to our family while we were there and helped my son celebrate his birthday by singing in Spanish! Food was very good too read more
