Restaurantji's Warrenton guide: Where to find the ultimate Mexican flavors.
“Being from San Antonio, TX, I might be considered a snob when it comes to Tex-Mex food, specifically with chips and salsa.Living in Seattle, Tucson, South Carolina, and VA, my wife and I are always nervous about what the next recommended Tex-Mex place will be.We recently moved to Warrenton, VA, and like always started looking to see if there was anything in town worth trying. The first recommendation we got was a flop. That's a different review...El Jaripeo was next on the list, being conveniently located off of Highway 211, just past the Wawa. The name for one was interesting, Bull Rider, and every day/ lunch there are cars in the parking lot. It's always a decent sign. But we had been let down by that criteria in all the other states because the local thought authentic Mexican food was Tex-Mex.Upon entering, there was a short wait period of 7m. And the staff apologized for that. HahahaPromptly upon being seated, the salsa came. It was divine.When we looked through the menus, it seemed like we had been transported home. I had the sea food enchiladas, and it was good. I was not fond of the red sauce used. Overall, the quality of ingredients and preparation was right on the money.All in all, it was a wonderful experience. We have been back three times since, and I can recommend the cheese sauce on the seafood enchiladas. ?Vegetarian options: Salads. Bean dishes.“
“Stopped in on our way elsewhere. Glad we did! We were greeted and seated quickly at around 2:30 on a Friday afternoon. Cristobal was very nice and on point. Orders taken quickly and food delivered fast and hot. Her chicken soup was hot and delicious with what appeared to be a whole chicken breast in it. My Speedy Gonzalez was very good as well. Crispy beef taco, fluffy yellow rice and a chicken enchilada with mole sauce. This place has the good stuff. Quaint atmosphere reminiscent of some Mexican restaurants. We would likely drive 30 minutes out of our way to return. (Dang it, I was so excited by my food I again forgot to take a pic!)“
“I had a big time craving for fish tacos, so I decided to go try the Tippy's taco house in Warrenton, Va. The tacos were fresh and the fish was seasoned well. Definitely hit the spot! I was really happy. The staff is Awesome and they go above and beyond!“
“Food was pretty good, service was great and it's a nice place. Will go back. Recommend whatever you order to ask for it without lettuce inside. The food is hot and the lettuce wilts. Just an idea for it to taste better.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking in front and plenty of room to maneuver“
