★★★★★ 5.0 Taylor Redmond · Dec 2023

We got the sense of an authentic Mexican restaurant, with great service and atmosphere. The menu had a wide variety of options to choose from. The cheese dip was good and the salsa was nice and fresh. I will definitely come back with family and for events. We caught them at a time between shifts, so I’m interested to try out the full bar. when we arrived, we were greeted by a worker that was not confident in his English, but was still very willing to help us get a table and menus and even take our drink order. He did a great job and I’m happy to see this at this establishment.

Restraunt and staff are always absolutely amazing! From just grabbing drinks, to getting lunch or dinner! El Jimador never disappoints!

★★★★★ 5.0 Judy Bush · Oct 2023

Much to our delight, this is not just another Mexican restaurant. To be honest that's what we thought when we first heard about it. The restaurant surprised us in many ways. First, the decor is beautiful, very tastefully done and is not tacky. And the interior is much larger than it appears from the outside. We were there in the afternoon and the atmosphere was very welcoming and I imagine the lights make it very romantic at night. Our server Medium was a delight and added her lovely personality to our dining experience. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced for the portions given. We ordered fried Chimicangos with chicken and vegetables and Tacos El Pastor. You can see from the pictures the beautiful plating and from the empty plates how good it was. The food is not your regu

I thought it was great. We had mixed reviews from the rest of my group. Definitely one of the better restaurants in town, but it still needs something I can’t put my finger on.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kevin Gaskill · Oct 2025

Food was very good, portions were large and background music was not overpoweringly loud. I liked the restaurant and would definitely go back if I lived in the area but we stood an excessively long time waiting for someone to notice and seat us, with servers walking by seemingly oblivious to our presence. A “Hi, we’ll be with you in just a minute” would have made for a much better first impression. Eventually someone came and seated us and after that service was great but I’m going to have to knock off a couple of service stars because of that.
