I was surprised how quiet the place was. I assume this is more of a college town than a tourist…read moretown, and college was out of session. It's not like there were a ton of places around. Having said that, I was pleased with my options here, and was hungry enough to devour both some tortilla chips with chopotle salsa and some indulgent mushroom tacos (albeit not hungry enough to ponder what I suspect would have been a quality dessert). Their vegetarian options are based around mushrooms, but I also got a lot of beans in on the side, and appreciated the freshly cooked peppers on the side. The mushrooms themselves were a little rubbery and I didn't like them as much as I'd hoped, but mixed in with the other ingredients the total result was good, and I was happy to find a place that suited my dietary needs and offered a variety of fresh tastes.

Granted I'm a Mexican Food aficionado, so I am probably not an impartial reviewer. Being from…read moreTexas (Tex-Mex country), living in California and traveling to Mexico often, I am definitely picky about my Mexican food. El Jinete is a side of the highway joint in Cumberland, Virginia...and being that it is not bad. Good chips, yes. Good salsa, ok but cold. They would do better to warm it a bit. Good refried beans and Spanish rice, yes. Good beef fajita meat, big NO. Over cooked and dry. Chicken quesadilla, ok, but not outstanding. Service was great and prices were low. Place was clean and not crowded. Since there are not a lot of options in the area it was good enough to get us by. In the future, we will drive a bit further for a better meal. Take away...go vegetarian and have bean and rice tacos!!

Good value typical American Mexican restaurant. Came in…read moreafter spending some time at hospital and wanted a warm meal. Was seated fast as they just opened and the server brought some chips, salsa, and ranch and took our drink order. Pro-tip, ask for half and half sweet tea, unless you prefer to get the beetus. Ordered a 3 item combo and selected the chicken tostada, enchilada, and chile relleno. The food was very tasty for South Boston, and adds a different rotation to the usual Southern fare. It is very hearty and cheesy, light on the spice and flavor, but that's to be expected for a rural Va culinary scene.
