Jaripeo Grill And Beer: Reviews & Ratings

This little gem of a place was not on our radar during our trip to Santa Fe. And had we not read the reviews and only driven by, we would have kept on going. It's a small restaurant that we passed even with the navigation map leading us to the strip mall where it's located. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant and it's bathrooms were clean. We ordered the beef burrito and the Molcajete with two horchatas. I didn't realize the molcajecte dish was really a dish for more than one person. I didn't think I could put a dent in it but I think I did pretty well and almost finished the dish on my own. We're from Texas so we're used to TexMex and the restaurant where we ate the day before (a more well known one in the shopping district) was just ok. We were a bit disappointed. This place was so much better! My husband compared his burrito with the one he had the day before and he was so happy with this one! It was seasoned so well and so flavorful, there was no comparison. The Molcajete dish was also delicious. Bursting with flavor. My only regret was that I couldn't finish the whole thing and we wouldn't be able to take the leftovers. Highly recommend.

The molcaheta is amazing! Shrimp, beef, chicken, and nopalita in a slightly spicy (we got low heat) Chorizo sauce with cheese chuncks. Enough for two.

Our Server (who I believe was the owner) was amazing! So friendly and kind, and he knew the food and and was able to discuss it and reccomend his favorite dishes. We chose according to his recommendations and were not disappointed! The Pupusas were the best I have ever tasted! We also had the Mocajete dish and it was absolutely amazing! My sister highly reccomends the Horchata drink. I enjoyed a beer from their wonderful selections. I cannot reccomend this sweet, little Restaurant enough. It was a fantastic surprize!

It is really delicious with friendly staff. Also, super cheap. Highly recommend Queso Birria, and Molcajete. 7 mares bottana is also great!

If you want to feel like you're traveling and eating authentic Mexican food, I recommend this spot. I especially enjoyed the homemade tortillas. Rolando, father of the owner, suggested the molcajete -- steak, shrimp, chicken, and an amazing soupy cheesy chorizo mixture in the center, seasoned to perfection. Very friendly service with smiles. Parking in the front. Thank you, Jaripeo Grill! Oh, no liquor license yet. So no alcoholic beverages, but once that license is obtained, I'll be back for a margarita!

We had an early dinner, the plantain empanadas (bean filling and milk filling), Fajitas (chicken, beef, and shrimp), Loroco pupusas, with veans, rice, and salad). Very good food and excellent customer service.

Nestled in a modest strip mall at 3565 Cerrillos Rd in Santa Fe, Jaripeo Grill And Beer is a hidden treasure that captivates with its authentic Mexican flavors and inviting atmosphere. At first glance, it might be easy to overlook this small eatery, but once inside, the warmth of the staff and the rich aromas signal a dining experience worth savoring.

The hallmark of Jaripeo Grill And Beer lies in its masterful execution of traditional dishes like the Molcajete, a hearty platter featuring an enticing medley of shrimp, beef, chicken, and nopalita, all simmered in a slightly spicy chorizo sauce and topped with melty cheese chunks.

This dish alone embodies the essence of Jaripeo’s kitchen—robust, authentic, and deeply satisfying.

Equally notable is their beef burrito, which stands out for its impeccable seasoning and depth of flavor, even impressing those accustomed to Tex-Mex classics. It is a testament to the kitchen’s thoughtful approach to balancing familiar comfort with genuine Mexican culinary traditions. Pairing these dishes with their acclaimed horchata or choosing from their carefully curated beer selection elevates the meal, adding refreshing contrast and completeness to the experience.

Beyond the food, the service enhances the visit. Customers often note the attentiveness and friendly demeanor of the staff—sometimes even the owner—who offers genuine recommendations with pride and personal insight. This connection between kitchen and guests creates a warm, welcoming vibe that enhances every bite.

Overall, Jaripeo Grill And Beer embodies the spirit of an authentic neighborhood taqueria with a craft approach to traditional Mexican cuisine.
