About this business
Jibarra aims to introduce a novel approach to Mexican cuisine. We take deep-rooted, traditional Mexican dishes, use modern cooking techniques and present them in a contemporary way. You combine that with a unique Spanish & South American wine list, and margaritas made with the best tequila and freshest ingredients and you get amazing results. We are located in the historic Raleigh Depot building. The former train depot, built in 1912, provides an open, high-energy atmosphere. In the center, our Tequila Tower dominates the sp... read more

One of my favorite places – Wow. I tried this place back in March and was very impressed. The food is amazing! I
Poor service – My wife wanted to go to Jibarra just for the ravioli and drinks. She ordered ravioli but when her dinner arrived, she received a dish that she did not order. It was shrimp and onions with green sauce. We told the waitress that it was incorrect and she took the plate, walked about 5 feet turned around and said "sorry, we are out of ravioli I forgot to tell you-go ahead and give this plate a try, if you don't like it I will bring you something else". My wife didn't like it and took one bite. The waitress avoided... read more
Has gone down in quality – I would have given this restaurant 4 or 5 stars last year. I used to go all the time, bring friends and family from out of town, absolutely loved it. But I went today since they have reformulated their menu, and I think it's really gone down in quality. They no longer offer the basket of fresh tortillas with their tacos, which I loved, and the shrimp in the shrimp tacos seemed to more of a cheap, food-service quality rather than the good, larger shrimp they had before. The "mashed potato-poblano" s... read more
Overpriced, disgusting wanna-be mexican food – Went here for a bachelorette party, food is WAY over-priced and NOT good. I got served cold coffee. I ordered fajitas and the peppers & onions tasted like they had not been cooked at all! The steak, which was supposed to be medium-rare, was black on the outside, dry and completely brown all the way through. I asked for some sour cream and there was a $1.00 fee for that! The fajitas are disgusting!! You would be better off going to a real mexican restaurant and getting good mexic... read more
Decent food , expensive drinks – Went to Jibarra (now moved to the Warehouse district of Raleigh) last night with some friends Nice welcome from the server who turned out to be a little less attentive than we are used to ( had empty glasses for a while) Food was nice and well presented but unexceptional quality. I had a makers mark manhattan infused with ginger which had a nice flavor but was a light pour by my standards and the other 2 people that had the same drink , for $8 a pop I want to taste the liquor Nice location an... read more
Wow!! – Had a great meal out this week at Jibarra. Have been frequenting their new location for a few months now and although they were inconsistant at first, something has changed for the better! I actually am compelled to write a review. My fiancee started with a delicious red pepper margarita(huh?). She loved it. I had the special of the night, an avocado martini. It was terrificly creamy but more of a dessert cocktail. Very imaginative however. For a starter we shared the ceviche sampler. I know of no other place that se... read more
Hit or Miss – I found Jibarra very "hit or miss." The atmosphere was nice, & our server was great, but they need to "iron out the kinks" in the food combinations and portions. My husband got fish tacos, which came with 4 "fishstick-sized" pieces of fish, a teaspoon of pico de gallo, & a couple of tablespoons of coleslaw. We both laughed out loud when we saw that he only had THREE tortillas to go with his 4 pcs of fish, and our request for more pico de gallo resulted in a $1 charge being added to our tab (how tacky!) My $25 s... read more
Not Worth The $$$ – This was our first time at this restaurant. It will be our last time. Food was very expensive; the food preparation was mediocre. For the quality and quantity, not worth the $$$. Two drinks - $24!!!. There are many other restaurants in Raleigh which offer a much better dining experience. Should have known better when you go on a weekend night, with no reservations, and the restaurant was half empty – can understand why.
I crave this food every week. – First of all I MUST reply to the last review of this so called "FOODIE ". It sounds to me like you're a complainer, and would like to get your food for free. Try writing a more constructive review next time, if you are a self proclaimed "foodie" and really know something about the food you're tasting. The tortilla soup has a very distinct flavor from the Crab soup. Yes, they are both salty, and spicy, but with totally different complexities. I have not yet found a better crab soup in the trian... read more
