El Jaripeo 5 Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Frankfort

I would like to have given this restaurant more but in reality this place is understaffed and not that impressive compared to the other Hispanic restaurants in town. If you’re looking for the typical Hispanic restaurants you find in most towns, this is you spot. We had to wait on everything, and our waiter was very disorganized. My wife did not receive all of her food, but the waiter was so slow she asked me not to even say anything because it would be to late by the time we would’ve received it. The only time we seen our waiter was approximately 5 minutes after we was set, he took our drink order and was gone for quite some time before he returned with the wrong beverage for me but I took it anyway because it had been so long. That’s when he took our food order and we didn’t see him again until he delivered our food. From that point my wife had done ran out of water and I gave her mine. We never received refills or any professional waiting from staff. Food was mediocre at best and over priced for its quality. Probably won’t get a return visit from us while...

Stopped by to check it out for the first time and had an awful experience. Our waiter never once checked to see how our food was (which was overall bland). Never asked if I wanted more salsa, I asked for a water with my margarita- didn’t get the water until after I was done eating. My margarita was watery and didn’t have a good flavor. When asked if he would please remove the margarita from the bill (since I literally didn’t drink it), he said no. Once we went up to pay we asked the lady working, the guys spoke up and told her that we never expressed a problem with the margarita to not take it off (in Spanish might I add - which I am fluent in Spanish)! So I instantly responded with sir you never even came back to the table once for me to tell you, and were nowhere to be found the whole time and he laughed at me literally!! (Mind you this place had less then ten customers in the whole place and a group of men were just drinking, so no excuse for such...

I went in for chicken fajitas. The server said buffet for $9.95 so I went for it. Mistake!!! There were plenty of empty pans across the buffet and there wasn't really much available to try. There was absolutely no meat on the bar, no tortillas for what looked like it may have been a taco bar. There were taco shells and taco bowls. There were 2 kinds of soup I didn't try because I was unsure of what the heck was in those crock pots. There was a couple trays that were burning with a couple scraps of what was possibly enchiladas. I had rice, refried beans, sour cream, pics and cheese with the chips and salsa. The only thing good was the cheesecake. I tipped my server because he did his job and it wasn't his fault the buffet looked like leftover food they wanted to get rid of. Total cost $16.31. I should have went to Taco Bell across the street and actually have a lunch I could enjoy and save myself $11....
