We ordered the street Birria tacos, both of us and shared a plate of refried beans. Both were good. We had got there and was told a possible 15 minute wait, that's understandable for being a Friday night. A couple came in after us. I got seated right away then they realized oh hey, we have two that came in before them. I was quite perturbed with that. read more

Our visit last night to El Jimador was most excellent! My husband, daughter, and I stopped on our way back home from the airport and we are so glad we did! Our cocktails were very reasonably priced and refreshing (my daughter and I both had the margarita flight) and my husband had his favorite tequila neat. Our meals were exceptional! Plenty of food to fill us, and delicious! We all enjoyed everything so much, we did more eating than talking! Rare for our family! Ha! Kudos to our bartender server, and the chefs! We will be back! And we will also order via Door Dash this winter. read more

Very good Mexican restaurant where I least expected to find one! Friendly staff, generous portions. The chilaquiles were excellent, as was the carnitas quesadilla. And if you like variety, drama, and a huge meal, try the molcajete! read more

The waiter forgot to put our order in. He came to the table after 45 minutes of waiting and told us this. I ordered a Sam Adams draft and was charged for a house margarita. I have been here many times and never had bad service before. It was my 39th wedding anniversary. Very disappointed. I won't be back. read more

We went here for Mother's Day, there was no wait time, we were seated immediately. The service was amazing, we had chips and salsa, homemade, in less than 5 minute. We got our drinks in minutes, and shortly after we had our appetizer. The menu was extensive, but easy to read and understand. The food we ordered was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and very generous portions. We have found our favorite Mexican restaurant, and won't go anywhere else in the area. The staff was very welcoming and warm and made us feel like we were valued customers. give this place a try and you won't regret it! read more

Well this was an odd experience... I came here for my cousin's birthday as we were staying at an airbnb near by. There was a group of 9 of us. I ordered the taquitos. Everything was dry and bland; rice, chicken, beef, everything. They forgot about my husband's order. They offered to bring him "something else that was ready" instead which leads me to believe they gave him someone's else meal. I'm giving 3 stars because everyone else at our table seemed to enjoy their meals and licked their plates clean. Unfortunately my husband and I had a less-than-stellar experience so can't say I would recommend... read more

Great Food, drinks & service. Would always recommend to anyone visiting or living in the area.

I think this is the first time I've been back here this year. As with before, the drinks are phenomenal. The bartender is amazing and knows his tequilas and his margaritas like a professional. The chips and salsa are great, which is something I rate all Mexican restaurants on. The food is fantastic and not overpriced like many places in the lake region. While it might look like a hole in the wall. I would encourage anyone traveling to the lakes region to stop here and grab a bite to eat. read more

Love it here. They have excellent food. My favorite is the nachos supreme. It's the most authentic Mexican I have gotten in NH. Great waitstaff, fair prices, it normally has a steady crowd. read more

honestly probably the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been too ate there yesterday 6/22 both me and my boyfriend have food poisoning I even had them take several things off the bill that I didn't touch after one bite drinks taste like a toddler made them I'd keep going if you plan of stopping by this joint. read more

First time here & for lunch. I'm an avid Mexican food fan. Ordered their steak burrito, and the meat was cooked perfectly and plenty of it. Prices were good and very much so in line. I would definitely recommend. read more

The chips were served warm and the salsa in a small carafe that has about 3-4 servings in it. The salsa needs a bit more cilantro, onion, garlic, and jalapeño, but that's coming from someone growing up in the southwest. For east coast/New England Mexican salsa, this is wasn't too bad. The service was incredible and so fast. We were quickly served margaritas and water and our server, Zoe, was very attentive and checked back on us regularly. The margaritas are a great value ($6 before 5 pm) and strong. Best value in the region for sure. The portions are quite large, enough that we both had leftovers for 2 more meals. The best part is that there weren't a lot of fillers (rice and beans), but a healthy portion of high quality seafood, meat, and vegetables. The rice doesn't have the most flavor, but it was nothing that couldn't be doctored up with a bit of salsa and a squeeze of lime. Speaking of lime, I asked for a side of lime and was delighted to receive a full lime. The churro was very authentic and Zoe was kind enough to give us the caramel on the side. My only issue with this place is the number of bees/flies in the window, but they didn't interfere in the meal. Everyone should definitely come check this place out! read more

Within three minutes, not an exaggeration, we were seated, had salsa and chips, water and our drinks!! No kidding, no fooling! Thank you Junior!! You are an amazing server and we appreciate how much you care about your diners! The salsa and chips are excellent but please try not to fill up on them. Here's why: when you order the El Molcajete, you will have enough food for three people and it is by far the best dish we've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. It has grilled steak, chicken, shrimp and Mexican sausage that comes to your table in a sizzling black cauldron of cheesy, perfectly seasoned goodness with onions and cactus. The roasted peppers are hot so use sparingly if at all since they are whole and can be pulled aside. It comes with at least six flour tortillas, rice, beans, lettuce and sour cream. All for $30!!! Pair that with a Dos Equis or the house margarita and you are in for a very enjoyable event. El Jimador, we will be back! read more

This place has yet to let me down and they carry Jarritos flavors I haven't been able to find at other local Mexican restaurants. Service was great and the nachos didn't disappoint. Everyone seemed to be having a great time while I was there all good vibes. read more

Good Mexican food. I started with the chicken tortilla soup. It was homemade with large chunks of chicken, thick slices of yellow and green zucchini, a dash of cheese, and a tasty (not spicy) broth. Loved it. My entree was a "veggie combo," including a black bean burrito and mushroom and spinach quesadillas. The mushroom came with cheese and was my favorite of the three (fresh and chunky pieces), the black bean was okay and the spinach was ruined with some herb. I cleaned my plate. One of the locals who brought us here complained that this was the second time they got his order wrong (this time his dish didn't come with the shrimp he ordered), but he will still be returning because their food is very good. read more

Let's start with the food which was absolutely fabulous. If not for the waiter this would have been a 5 star review. Never let the customer ask for something on the menu and you don't have it. Always tell the customer what you are out of. Second I shouldn't have to wait 30 min to get my check. Like I ate, told you I was done check please and I'm waiting about 20min. Other than that place is amazing. read more

Fair Mexican. The service was good, friendly, and quick. The food was not great. The steak was overcooked and the flavors relatively bland. Ambiance was typical Mexican.... Fine, meh read more

I LOVED the food and the service. Junior and Antonio did and AMAZING job tonight. They were attentive thoughtful positively responsive and had a very great character and demeanor about them. These two deserve a raise!! Every time I come in they are the stars of the show and own it. I look forward to seeing them again the food was amazing!! read more

This place is amazing. By far the best Mexican food that I have had in years. Authentic Mexican food not Tex-Mex. Our Waiter (Beto) was great, friendly, cheerful, can back several times to make sure we did not need anything. I like Mexican food that is spiced correctly and this place is spot on. The food is served on plates that have been heated, great touch to keep your food hot for the entire time you are eating. So glad we found this Gem. Will definitely go back again next time we are in the area. read more

Good food and drinks. The salsa and queso is very good. Large menu to choose from and haven't had a bad meal here.

We went two times in a row ! Hard to find a good Mexican place in New England ! The tamales, street tacos, enchiladas are all great! read more

Super nice folks. Worth it. Great lunch specials quality drinks, and a very balanced menu

Even though I have gotten sick from eating their mixed fajitas once, I still like this place. The service is good, margaritas are good and strong, ambiance is good, it's spacious and not too noisy, and there's just not a lot of competition for good Mexican food around here so, we go here. It's better than Vida in the weirs. read more

Holy extensive menu, Batman! What impressed me most was the extensive vegetarian menu. And the seafood options! There were just so many items to choose from. Our server had a great attitude and did a great job balancing how busy they were. The complimentary salsa had good flavor. The chicken soup, ordered and consumed by my husband, had a wonderful aroma when it was delivered. And the size of it was huge! I had the spinach enchiladas, and I loved the queso drizzle over the top. The Mexican rice was also delicious. My husband had the birria tacos, that came with a dipping sauce, and he was over the moon with how good it was. The only complaints were about the immovable table that was not centered for the bench seating (my side was scrunched up and his side had plenty of room) and the worn out look of the carpet, tables, and seating. The walls were brightly decorated and fun. And the service was great. read more

Need I say more? What else do you need in life other than Trump back. Great food and drinks. Highly recommend eating here. Zoe is the best waitress ever. read more

El Jimador Mexican Restaurant - Fried Ice Cream, Churros, Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Belmont, New Hampshire

Walked in and was seated quickly. Got our drinks in right away but waited a long time to receive them. They have a bar, music, and televisions everywhere. I wouldn't recommend coming here on a weekend night unless you want to wait forever. We ordered our food and got it fairly quickly. Finished my drink halfway through the meal. Wasn't offered another one and asked for another one but didn't get it for some reason. Food is delicious and filling. Come here on a week day night if anything. read more

Stopped here for lunch while in a vacation to Lake Winnepesake. Chose it based on yelp reviews and were not disappointed from the moment we walked into the very nicely decorated restaurant with soft Spanish music playing. Very helpful staff who made changes to our meals so they could be vegetarian. Very authentic and fresh food down to the hot salsa. Extremely reasonable prices and generous portions. I ordered a chimichanga and my husband had the quesadillas. Lunch menu not more than 8 to 9 dollars per person. Who would have thought you could find such good Mexican food in the middle of New Hampshire! We will definitely come here again. read more

El Jimador Mexican Restaurant - Chimichangas with beans - Mexican Near Me - Belmont, New Hampshire

I want to start by saying the staff is awesome and the environment is beautifully designed. The soup was the worst experience of my Mexican soup career. The 'supreme' tacos were made very cheaply in the sense they didn't add queso or guacamole which is the best part. If it's supreme it should have those things included. Otherwise good experience. read more

This place is really good and everyone in the family loves it just something in there spices always hurts my stomach but everyone else in my family doesn't have a problem. The fajitas are really good here. read more

We go out to eat every week for a family date. This week we went to El Jimador after not going there for a few months. We tried new foods that we weren't sure what they were or how to pronounce. Our server, Beto, was amazing. He helped us without any hesitation. Beto is a true professional; he worked the room, providing the best experience for each guest. Our food was what one could only dream about. Our drinks were amazing. Service was so quick and efficient. Beto even played tic-tac-toe with our son and explained what they call the game in Spanish. We can't wait to go back. This was the best family date night in a very long time. Thank you, El Jimador! Thank you, Beto! We look forward to seeing you again soon. read more

While this will never top the Vineyard (iykyk), this is a great spot for authentic Mexican food in this area that has no shortage of mid American options. The huge interior is cozy with water features, a fireplace, and a good sized bar. I ordered one of the fruity drinks on the menu which wasn't very strong sadly and slightly too sweet for my liking. For dinner, I got the taco salad (great deal at $9) with veggies as the protein, and subbed out the cheese and sour cream making this actually a somewhat healthy dish. Everything was delicious! The taco shell really added flair and there were plenty of veggies and refried beans. I even had a decent sized leftover portion. It looks to be family owned, with everyone working really hard while likely being short staffed on an October weeknight. Great place for wholesome dinner and drinks! read more

Talk about deliciousness in the middle of NH. After a long road trip we had a pick up order to eat back at our cabin. We orders the El Molcajate which samples almost all of their meats accompanied rice and frijoles. The order allowed me to have 4 different servings! It's huge. 3 adults can easily eat from it. Had a taste for each craving in the meal. The grilled cactus was a great touch. read more

While on vacation we must have drove past this place a dozen times, each time wondering if it would be good. I was traveling with my folks, and favor Mexican food because of the gluten free options for my mom. Coming from San Antonio, we have an appreciation for authentic Mexican food, and I'm pleased to share this place didn't disappoint. The food was great, the service was good and the atmosphere was really nice. I highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

The food we ordered were fajitas. Very tastey with nicely grilled peppers and onions. The fish (haddock) fajita was a nice peice of fish with tastey. rice and guac and lettuce. The other food ordered was a fajita with beef, Also very good. House margaritas were effective and the service was very good with attentive waiters. You definitely need to get covid off of your mind by coming here. No dirty tables and cover precautions were seen here. I am from New Jersey and I do not have any connection to give false advice. This place is worth it. read more

We used Yelp again and based on the reviews decided to give them a try. Excellent meal. We have queso dip with chorizo. We also had the dinner chimichangas which were also excellent. No wait at 6 pm. Plenty of seating to be safe distance from others. Staff friendly. read more
