Shrimp Enchiladas
James F.

Met my BFF for an all important brunch catch up. Our usual place was closed so we checked out El Jimador. Fairly busy; most tables were occupied or not bussed. Had to ask for a table to be cleaned in fact so we could dine. Bartender/server was attentive; he was also the one that bussed the table. We arrive around 10am so I couldn't decide to go lunch or breakfast..why not both! Migas taco to start which was the best bites of the day at least for me. The next dish is a personal favorite if done right. My love affair with shrimp enchiladas started early in life in a now long closed Mexican Louie's in Drippin' Springs. They used ranchero with government cheese. Strange combination but it worked. Other contenders for best in the area is Mamacita's in Fredricksburg/Kerrville. That's a scampi cream sauce with cilantro added. Well, EJ's won't be adding to that dreamy creamy list. Tough tortillas! Not enough sauce and cheese; ample application would have made it a better dish. But it wasn't meant to be for this visit. Three stars for the brunch taco offering but I'd never go back for that shrimp enchilada plate.

4 enchiladas, rice, beans, salad, guacamole and sour cream.

Excellent food and prices! My husband and I had #34 on the menu. It was 4 enchiladas, (chicken, hamburger, cheese and bean), plus moist rice and great refried beans for only $9.99! Which is great with our economy right now! We also ordered cheese dip and they brought a bowl of white quaso that was super yummy! The waitress was very attentive and had our food to us very quickly. The restaurant was clean and had a bar, too. The parking lot was full of cars when we came in and when we left. You won't be disappointed with the food here and the prices are very reasonable.

Skillet breakfast, fast friendly service. A great way to get the weekend started.

Staff was indifferent and rude. Food was mediocre at best. Will not return to this place.

Tried this for a lunch place, in part from fellow Yelper reviews (haven't been steered wrong yet,…read morethanks Shannon G!) Service and quality of food were great, better than most places we've tried. Our server stayed on top of things, even as the lunch rush started. The menu has several unique offerings, and lots of options depending on how much you want to eat. (One mistake - we both ordered a cup of tortilla soup, and were surprised at how much we got with that! Some rice, pico, sliced avocado, tortilla strips, it would have made a complete light lunch by itself. So we were full by the time the main plates arrived). I got the Super Tucan combination plate (taco/enchilada/flauta, w/beans and rice), and the Hop Queen got the Chimichanga. Both were very generous portions of tasty, fresh food, nothing tasted like it had been sitting. With the tortilla soup, this pretty much would have fed us the rest of the day. Plenty of seating, also tables outside. Downtown has lots of parking on the street. Highly recommended!

Being a tourist sure does make you hungry…read more First I want to say how wonderful everyone was. A cheerful greeting when I walked in. I sat at my table and immediately someone came around the corner with chips and salsa. Someone else came and asked if I wanted to order a drink. Uhh, ya I do. I ordered a peach daiquiri. So girly I know. Peach daiquiri came with whipped cream and a cherry. Was a great peach flavor. Loved it. Chips and salsa were great. . The chips are thin, warm, and lightly salted. The salsa was a mild spice. Enjoyable. I ordered the shrimp tacos. Comes with 2 street tacos and double the tortillas on each. Purple cabbage, cilantro, tender shrimp. I liked the sauce they had on the side. Also had black beans and rice. The whole meal was pretty filling. Service was pretty fast. The drink came quick. The meal itself was quick. The chips and salsa came like seconds when I sat down. They also have outside seating as well. Although it was warming up, I wanted to be inside. There's a small free parking lot kitty corner to the restaurant. Also free street parking too. Everything was great. And would love to come here again next time I visit Marble Falls.
