Having wanted to go to a local brewery, which was having a very loud trivia might, we decided to go…read moreto El Jimador as our back up plan. At half pass seven it was not very busy. We were immediately seated. The beer selection was typical for a Mexican restaurant in the United States. Menus, water and chips were brought out immediately. We enjoyed some guacamole with our chip and salsa. I had a nice cold Negro Modelo and a burrito, enchilada and tamale combo.. Good food, served hot and a cold beer to wash it down. Perhaps not Nirvana, but perhaps a hint of it.

The absence of Mexicans should have been my first warning…read more... That is, among the customers, not a real Mexican in sight. Waitresses do not even speak Spanish. Standard tourist trap in shopping plaza. Only thing Mexican about this place is the plastic sambrero on the wall. Service was pretty standard, prices fair. But the food, oh god! Food arriving only two minutes after I ordered it should have been my second warning. Was it fresh made? I don't think so. Two carnitas tacos. Dry pork shoulder covered in shredded lettuce. And SALTY SALTY SALTY! That was the only flavor. Refried beans straight out of a can. Plain rice. And the crispy taco shells? They came from a TACO SHELL FACTORY. Yep, ready-made out of a box. Barely edible, and let me mention, even if you do want this, you can get the same thing at Taco Bell for one-third the price. Terrible! DO NOT eat here.

If you are looking for authentic fresh and homemade food this is the go to. I will for sure be a frequent customer. The Shrimp Ceviche Tostada and the Birria Pizza are for sure 2 that will be the go to!!!! The service is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is perfect for the small independent restaurants!!! If you haven't stopped in and tried this place I will go ahead and say it you are absolutely missing out!!!!

Not a bad place to hang out, enjoyed our experience beside the train blasting in our ears but to be…read moreexpected. The outside is very pretty and enticing full of foliage. The host was a little judgmental, I guess she thought we just knew to sit down somewhere so we stood for a second before being helped. The waitress was a little rude and didn't visit very often to refill drinks or check on us. Chips and salsa - 4/5 Queso - 3/5 - I feel like it was a little over priced for the size ($10 for a large) Chimichanga - 2/5 - Very mid, not much flavor, don't recommend Breakfast burrito - 4/5 - no complaints but mid Build your own burrito - 3/5 - The only reason I give this a 3 is because it depends on what you get I got ground meat, cheese, rice, pico, etc and it was a massive burrito very good. My brother got the steak one and there was barely any on the burrito it was mostly rice. Also they give you a tiny little bowl of queso if you get it on the side. Bathrooms were clean and they had an outside singer who wasn't half bad. I feel like there's plenty of parking and it's very accessible.

*updated November 2025…read more Maybe the first time I visited, they were still figuring things out but I went last night and the food was amazing! Staff is always nice! The front area is chill, the second half still has the lights and art of the original opening. That was very cute. I have no complaints. Everything we ordered was amazing! This is my 3rd time returning between this year and last year and they'll see me again.

Came on a Saturday early in the afternoon, like 3. The server was honest that he was new, but they…read moreabsolutely couldn't handle the business. We couldn't order drinks bc they came to our table so infrequent. Server took orders from a large table that sat after us, while we wished ours be taken. The orange sauce on the nachos is extremely overwhelming and you cannot get away from it, it's everywhere on the dish. It felt like I was trapped in this place for hours everything was SO slow unfortunately. To top it off the bathroom was absolutely disgusting, so dirty... the 3/5 stars is generous.
