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 space, showcasing all our premium tequila bottles.
Whether it be a casual weekday lunch or dinner, a multi-course experience or just hanging out at our bar, come check us out. We also offer a private party room for up to 30 guests. We, the Ibarra family, are excited about bringing our innovative concept to downtown Raleigh and hope to see you soon.

To say that the original Jibarra raised the bar for Mexican restaurants in the Triangle is an understatement on the order of saying that habaneros are spicy. The menu featured a mix of traditional regional fare and playfully innovative dishes by Ricardo Quintero, who was formally trained in Mexico City. The selection of rare premium tequilas was dazzling, as was the cosmopolitan chic decor. (Full review)
