Maybe this place has to lower the flavor to align with the lily-white palettes in FarmVille so I'm willing to give them a break because for your average Mexican, which I proudly am, this place is a 3 at best. Even the margarita I ordered was bland and from a pre made mix. Costs nothing to throw a couple strawberries into it as you're blending it to at least give it the appearance of being fresh and not entirely from a bottle. Service was great. Good value for the money and excellent portion sizes. But both plates needed serious flavor. Even the rice and beans were bland. Tortillas aren't homemade. Green salsa was delish, though. Dang. Sorry guys.

Ask for something special in that regard and you won't be disappointed. The salsa flight for appetizer was excellent! They make their own salsas here and the salsa verde is the best I've had outside of Mexico or Southern California. They also got a sweet & spicy peanut salsa that I've never experienced. It was delicious! I tried the burr-ita (burrito/fajitas) for the entree and that was excellent, as well. We had a really nice time talking with Bill. Would recommend this place to anyone!

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.

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!!

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.

The bartender greeted me and asked if I wanted the regular menu or was the lunch menu sufficient. I perused the lunch menu, which had several different options. Surprisingly, everything on that menu was half price! What a deal! I ordered the most expensive item, the catfish sandwich, which was only $10. Even though they were very busy, I got my sandwich within ten minutes. They call it a sandwich but there ain't no way I could eat it like a sandwich, even with my big mouth. The catfish came with onion, lettuce, tomato, and some kind of sauce on a toasted sub roll. It came with a knife. I cut off the first bite. It was .......... GREAT! Wow! I have always gotten BBQ or fish tacos before. Fantastic blending of flavors. It came with a choice of a side and I chose fries. The fries were barely alive. Good flavor but partially limp. That was the only negative. I wish I lived closer to Farmville. I would make them regular visits during the week. They keep teasing us about expanding to Madison Heights but no action yet.
