We tried Cabo plate, Chicken Chimichanga, and Beef Burrito from their lunch menu. All were served hot and fresh, and tested very good. Their Chips and Salsa were also good with the chips being a little thicker than other restaurants. Service was prompt and professional. They kept our glasses of soda full and bonus points for having Diet Mountain Dew. The ambiance is nice, clean, with the tables spread out. They also have some high top table that will seat 4. Would recommend and will return. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend who really raves about this place. Food: The menu is very extensive. It includes many standard Mexican dishes along with several house specialties. You get free chips and salsa to start. The chips were good. The salsa had decent flavor but was very thin. You had to scoop it up quickly before it ran off the chip and onto the table or into your lap. I ordered an appetizer of guacamole. Unfortunately, it was basically a bowl of smashed avocado, and that's exactly how it tasted. Very little seasoning and not much flavor. In hindsight, I should have ordered the Guacamole Mexicano, which includes the ingredients that I consider essential for guacamole. For my entree, I ordered a combo plate with a tamale and a chile relleno. It came out very quickly. The presentation was not great. It looked like the items were placed on the plate and then smothered with sauce and cheese. The flavors were underwhelming. The masa on the tamale was not very moist and crumbled when cut. The beef filling itself was tasty, but there wasn't much of it. My friend ordered the Burrito Acapulco and really enjoyed it. Service: Service was good, but not especially attentive. Our server got tied up somewhere, and we ended up asking another server to take our order for the guacamole. Atmosphere: The restaurant is large and has plenty of seating for different size groups. The space is colorful, with bright green painted walls. There is a bar along the back wall, with a couple of TVs suspended from the ceiling. The overall design is fairly typical of many Mexican restaurants. There were only a few other tables occupied, so it was relatively quiet. I'm not sure if I would come back. If I did, I would definitely try something different than a standard combo entree. read more

Stoped in today for lunch. Great spot. Warm and attentive staff. Margaritas were perfect and make no mistake, the medium was actually quite large. It was, well, perfect. Loved the salsa/chips brought to the table. Nothing incredibly different about the chips, but the salsa...wow, that is delicious. Balanced flavor with just a little heat on the back end. My guy had the Queso Birria Tacos and really liked them. I'm not joking when I say, he cleaned his plate. I went ala carte and tried the following: steak taco, chicken taco, chicken enchilada. I really liked the steak taco and the chicken taco was one of the better that I've had. The enchilada made me a little sad. It had good flavor but was really dry. It could have been an off day for it or maybe it's just a personal preference kind of thing. We both loved the rice and beans. Sounds funny to get excited about rice and beans but we do and these were killer. They have a large seafood offering and a friend shared that they have some awesome shrimp & scallop dishes so we'll be trying that when we make it back. read more

If you are on a budget but you want some good authentic tacos, this is your spot. 2 full plates with tacos rice and beans and only $15. Easily 2 smaller lunches if you portion it out. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun, and the service is excellent. read more

Solid Mexican spot for some enchiladas or chimis. Overall the food was good and their menu is expansive. It's definitely a good spot for a quick bite to curb your Mexican craving. Beans are good, as is rice! read more

Amazing fajitas Best I've had in years Great chips and salsa Service great Very clean and welcoming read more

Huge menu and large margaritas greeted us at El Jimador. I chose the shredded beef chimichanga. It was served covered in cheese sauce with beans and rice on the side. It was two smaller chimis instead on one gigantic one, which I liked better. It also came with a nice side of lettuce,tomato, and sour cream. Everything was super hot (in temp) and flavorful. Service was very quick. We had a nice booth for 4 near the windows. Very nice stop. read more

Visited this restaurant several times before and continue to try different dishes and I'm always more than satisfied with the food and service. Started with one of the specialty margaritas, the jumbo size will certainly last through your meal. Tried the fish tacos and they were very tasty, the spicy sauce was a nice touch. My wife had the Mexican street corn, a cup full of goodness put a smile on her face. Lastly was Pablo's Salad, lettuce, peppers and beans were a great combination. read more

Large menu with large portions. I would advise if you don't like something that is standard ask that they remove it or swap it (beans, sour cream, etc) because you get plenty. Food has always been good. Wait staff and bartenders are always very pleasant. I wish they would change the lighting though. Some light fixtures on ceiling and maybe at the booths and dimmer lighting would enhance the look and experience. Floors can get a little dirty so some dimmer lighting may help you not notice. read more

I ordered the Acapulco taco salad. It tasted yummy was ready & waiting when I picked it up. Enough for 2 people. Definitely would order again! The flan was also good! read more

We tried this place when it first opened and did not like any of our food. We thought we would give it another chance . I ordered the supreme enchilada dinner. Plate was hot , food was cool. 4 enchiladas smothered in rather cool chili sauce and cold lettuce on top? This is just a terrible recipe and not really Mexican food. It appears they to put a "spin" on their recipes but they just don't work. I sent mine back, they brought me a new plate, the food was marginally warm enough to eat. Service was good, the place is clean. The food is just not Mexican food. We won't give it a third try. read more

I've had Mexican food all over the country, never experience a burrito smothered with cheese sauce. I had the burrito Vallarta... after the initial shock of the cheese sauce, by the 3rd bite I was totally bought in.... Ah... Wisconsin Mexican food is born!!!! read more

I attended El Jimador with a group of friends and was able to get a table right away. Staff was friendly and prompt while getting us our food and drinks. Friends and I enjoyed their street tacos which I highly recommend, guac, and pina coladas! We were also celebrating a birthday and they came out with a delicious ice cream dessert, sang and placed a sombrero on our friends head! Popular place to be! Would go back! read more

We arrived at 4:45 PM. Got a table immediately.. we didn't leave till 7:15pm. 2 1/2 hours.. Service? there was no service. We sat there for 20 minutes before I had to ask somebody ti get someone to wait on us.. then we got our margaritas and I asked for more salt on the glass so I asked for them to just bring me a glass with salt and I would pour it in. They said sure.!! NEVER GOT IT!!!! Then I had to ask somebody to take my order because nobody came to the table and asked. Once we got our food. Food quality wasn't the best. I had a quesadilla and in that quesadilla fajita there was no real cheese just cheese sauce. who puts cheese sauce in a quesadilla?? my husband's food was so so too he said. Then we waited and waited and waited and I finally asked someone to get my bill.. I will never recommend that place. We will never go back. All my friends and family will know.. I don't mind a little bit of problems, but this was just ridiculous read more

Wonderful meal with my family. Every dish was plentiful and delicious. The servings were large and the service was prompt and attentive. This is just a nice place for a great and authentic meal. But be careful of the margaritas: they pack a punch! read more

The food here hits everytime!!! By far out fav Mexican place around lake country!! The service, the food, cocktails! Love, I'm picky and there's so many Mexican restaurant options so from a real person to person this the Mexican place to go read more

Food was very good. Carnitas was juicy and very flavorful. Good chips and salsas, and a nice white cheese dipping sauce. Staff was attentive and friendly. Nice ambiance. Good prices. The house margarita tastes OK, but the lime green Koolaid color is off-putting. Stick with the Texas margarita or a hand shaken. read more

This is one of those restaurants you will miss when you move. I have been trying for a month to find a decent Mexican restaurant in my new area and nothing comes close. Amazing food at $15 a plate is a rare combination, coupled with near instant service, whoever is running this place is a genius. I cannot possibly recommend the Special Cielinto Lindo highly enough, ive never even seen that at another restaurant! read more

Stopped for a Saturday lunch. Nice festive atmosphere. Wasn't busy so seated right away. Large menu. We both had delicious margaritas. Chip and salsa were good.

Definitely will be back. read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant and so close to home. The drinks are great. Besides the regular meat entrees, they have a great selection of vegetarian entrees that are delicious. Their veggie burrito is outstanding - delicious and piping hot when served. We want to go there once a week to relax and keep them in business. Lois from Lisbon, WI read more

Great place!! Good food, fast and friendly service. We will be back ! Thabks for a great ev

Delicious lunch! The margaritas were very good and service A-1. We had chicken street tacos and chicken quesadillas. Both were excellent. The warm chips and salsa table side were also very good. We will be back. Only reason I gave it a 4 was because the website showed the lunch special at $8.99 but on the actual menu it's $10.99. Also, they need to get a menu online for pick up orders. read more

The food was delicious, service was excellent even though it was very busy. The only thing negative was it was a little cool, the entrance needs to be double doored to block the wind! read more

That was the worst Mexican food I have had in a long time! I had the beef enchilada with rice and beans. The enchilada was filled with browned hamburger. No cheese no onions no lettuce no nothing inside that enchilada. The enchilada sauce is what you buy at the grocery store in the can and it was very tasteless! The salsa and chips they bring you out the salsa was nasty all it was was tomatoes sauce very little taste to it no spice no nothing. When we asked for a hotter salsa we were charged $1.50 for a little tiny dish I will go back once more and give it another try, but not anytime in the near future, I don't know how long they've been opened but you can't access their email address or their business address online so that is why I am leaving this review here. The staff was absolutely wonderful, very polite, very attentive. No water was served when we sat down, we gave our drink orders, one soda and one margarita margarita was all right and when we asked for water, we still never got it. read more

Wish I could leave a review based on the food but the 20+ minute wait and then having a table get seated 15 minutes after us get served before us ruined the chance. The same servers walked past us several times and not a single server had the curtesy to offer us Atleast some water or ask us if we've been helped yet. read more

We tried to the restaurant last Saturday. We got there early because we knew they were busy on the weekends. Many have said wonderful things about the restaurant. We had five people in our party. They became extremely busy around 5 o'clock. What became problematic, was two in our party ordered fajitas. The side dish for the fajitas came out. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. One by one, our orders were served.. By the time the second person received their fajita meat, the side dish was cold. I had a steak quesadilla that was a bit too salty, and looked under cooked. Almost like a steak burrito. Others enjoyed their meals. So I can't say the restaurant is bad...things happen, but I will proceed with caution before I stop again. read more

Too long to explain. The Margarita was fine. My husband enjoyed his shrimp fajitas. My steak tacos were awful. I asked for no cilantro. They were covered in cilantro. I sent it back. Meat was burnt. BTW we waited for an hour to order our meal, after we received our drinks. Sorry but never again, read more

Wonderful service! margs are good and strong! Cute place. Would recommend. Good prices too! Chips are tasty and salsa is a lil spicey.

This has to be the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. I order the fajita steak and shrimp. The steak was so dry that I knew it was cooked at a later date and then frozen to reheat upon serving. I was with a table of 7 and I tried everyone's dish and it had the same taste that it's been cooked a day to two and then reheated upon serving. I will tell anyone that plans on eating here that don't expect quality. I am really disappointed with this place cause my daughter took me here for Father's Day. If you plan on acting here expect less then home cooks food that's be frozen before serving. ‍ read more

Food is excellent, especially the Texas Cheese Steak Burrito. Love the chips and salsa (included). Best part is we had a party of seven individuals and they split the checks seven ways. Strongly recommend!! read more
