El Jaripeo - Charlottesville

We WILL be coming back here! Delicious food! There is something on the menu for everyone a lot of options. I would say the beer wine options are average, as well as the mixed drinks (I'm not into margaritas), but I would have liked if the bar was able to provide a bit more variety (that would have been the 5th star). Overall, we were happy with our choice for dinner tonight! For a family of 3, we spent under $50.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! We moved to this area a year ago and haven't found GOOD Mexican food until NOW! We have already eaten there many times in the few weeks we have moved to Hollymead. Their Guacamole IS THE BEST WE HAVE EVER HAD!

Delicious carnitas! Huge portions. I have not had carnitas like this since Carnitas Uripan in San Diego and Tijuana! Husband had the flautas, which were freshly made. We had tried this place several years ago and were not impressed. We will be back much sooner after this delicious meal!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. I had a enchilada ranchero which had a tasty sauce with steak bits. The enchiladas had chicken. The rice was good. My wife had a chicken quesadilla. I gave her the lettace sour cream and tomato from my dish since hers was very plain. The chips were not real fresh but weren't stale. They were good. The salsa was good and spicy.

Food is great and the service is far better here than at the Ruckersville location. Also the restaurant is bigger with a nicer bar and better decor. The shrimp quesadilla was fantastic. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not over done and rubbery.
