Editorial Review for Jibarra – by Kristine Forrest Seawell
In Short
Mexican cuisine wears a new hat at this upscale Raleigh restaurant. The dining room has soft colors, low lighting and worldly background music. Families and couples dine on chicken stuffed with Mexican truffles, sauteed foie gras and creme brulee with tequila and cajeta candy. Meanwhile, the cosmopolitan decor and atmosphere encourage hip, young professional-types to linger over pear cilantro margaritas at the connecting Tequila Lounge, stocked with top-shelf liquors and 15 blue agave tequila varieties.

My husband and I tried Jibarra after I read about it in Metro Magazine back at the beginning of the year. We LOVED it. The location was terrible (off of Six Forks Rd), but we had a great experience. We were given a free app from the chef (cold, Leek soup on a ladle), which was delicious. My husband ordered the softball steak, which he loved and I got Mahi Mahi over Lobster mashed potatoes....excellent! The drinks were also great. My husband especially loved the Tequila flights. We were so disappointed when we decided to try it out again for his bday a few weeks ago and drove there, just to find another restaurant had opened up! I am so happy to have found out Jibarra will be reopening in November in a much better locale!

Nice environment. Too little food for the dollars. Decent service. Decent food. Not much else to say except there are certainly better places in the Raleigh area.
