We were at a family reunion and it was suggested to try this place for lunch. We had around 30 people and they handled the crowd tremendously. The service was so good. Fast and efficient with so many people. The food was so good. We had the enchiladas ranchero and it was to die for. The pork on top was amazing, sauce tasted great, and the corn tortillas were excellent. If you are ever in Wilburton, please stop by and give them a try. read more

My husband and I were in the area for business and saw the reviews for this place and decided to give them a try. They really stand out in this (very) small town. It was clean, well lit, and full of people. Our waiter was very kind and polite, the food came out very fast. If this is one of my first reviews you've read I must tell you: I've got a sensitive stomach, so I have to be careful. My husband has a stomach of steel, like most people. Neither of us ate much of our food and we left quickly. Let's leave it at that. I don't like giving bad reviews but someone has to warn those who are traveling through. Just be aware it may not settle well and you're in the middle of nowhere. read more

This was a great dinner spot while staying at Robbers Cave State Park. The food was really good but it's the wait staff really made our experience memorable. Loved interacting with them and they were the perfect amount of attentive. Couldn't pass up the margarita price as well for a 27 oz. If you're passing through definitely pop in here for lunch or dinner. We enjoyed several menu items and recommend the homemade guacamole for a starter. read more

This place is amazing! I was not expecting this level of delicious Mexican food in a small town. The al pastor street tacos were perfect.

Absolutely love this place ! It's our fav go to spot here in Wilburton for mexican cuisine !

The restaurant was even better than we expected. We had chili rellanos and the house special fajita. Both were delicious. The guacamole was as advertised; absolutely excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. Our server Luis is everything a server should be, attentive and knowledgeable, interesting, funny and cheerful. read more

Solid Mexican food for eastern OK. Our family of six (visiting from AZ) ate lunch here following a hike at Robbers Cave. Started with fresh guacamole and warm chips and salsa. So tasty. Everyone in our party order from the lunch menu, which were smaller portions but still plenty for a lunch appetite and not too costly. The taco salad was delicious. The chile rellenos were decent, albeit a bit soggy. The street tacos were good- we ordered the carne asada. The rest our our party got enchiladas, beans and rice. Basic- not bad but not necessarily good either. read more

Very good Mexican food!!! We haven't been in town in a while and was searching for some good food and man did we find some good food! Not only good food but great service and very clean restaurant to go with everything that was so wonderfuy good! read more

El Jimador - a person holding a taco and a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Wilburton, Oklahoma

If you find yourself looking for dinner while in Wilburton, OK, go to El Jimador. As you walk in look for a sandwich board with their specials. When I went, they had 27oz Margaritas for $5 and 32oz beers for $4. The margarita was likely made with a standard tequila and not top shelf, but mixed in a margarita, I'm not sure I'd notice. The beer was not a craft microbrew either, but at those prices, you can't go wrong and you will be very happy. The food is good too (I shouldn't make a review about purely the drinks . . what would you think of me?) The food was of good quality and tasted authentically Mexican and doesn't break the bank. The ambience was nothing special, and what you would expect from a typical Mexican restaurant. I don't know if they stepped up their cleaning because of Covid (July 2021) or we stopped by during their weekly cleaning, but they did a thorough job even dusting the paintings on the wall. Bottom line, go there. read more

I was in town for work and tried this place. My coworkers and I all agreed that this is a hidden gem. We will absolutely be back next time we are in town. Also, splurge on the guacamole... you'll thank yourself afterward. read more

My wife and I were in town for one night for a romantic get away, but after eating dinner at El Jimador, we were up all night at our hotel with the shits. My wife didn't even eat meat. My brother also ate dinner with us and the same happened to him. Would not recommend unless you like getting sick to your stomach. 4 stars? No stars. read more

The food is OK. I am a native Texan traveling with my Husband whose family lives here. I would recommend a yellow cheese dip that would go over much better than the white. Also, please do not put lettuce, pico and guacamole in between the beans and rice, what's up with that? Fajita meat is cut too small as well. read more

I was very impressed with the authenticity of the food, which was very good! The service was outstanding! Restaurant was very clean & was respectful. read more

Great service and good chips and dip, fajita meat was chewy.and hard to eat. No cheese for fajitas. Disappointed. read more

We love this place, we've ordered there probably 2 dozen times since it's been open and we've only had one or two errors with our meals. Compared to other Mexican restaurants though it's the best in the area. read more

The service was prompt, the margaritas are magnificent and the food was fantastic! Warm and crispy chips, perfectly mild and flavorful salsa! read more

love the taco Tuesday special! good food and good service, what more could you ask for?

This is great Mexican food. Being from Texas, I was skeptical about the quality of Mexican food in Ok. They blew me away. Also reasonable and good take out during crisis read more

We ate at the restaurant on Tuesday night to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was WONDERFUL!!! Reasonably priced, and it was really good food. The service was wonderful!!! The birthday celebration was topped off by them all singing Happy Birthday complete with a sombrero and sopapilla for the birthday boy!!!! The restaurant was very clean, decorated well and we will definitely come back!! We will have to drive over from McAlester but because of hotel problems, we won't stay there!! Loved it!! The queso was so good, fajita's yummy, etc. read more

Just passing thru and was recommended this restaurant. Very clean atmosphere really good food and clean restrooms

There isn't much to choose from in Wilburton...outside of the fast food type places. I was in the area, had planned on going to a different place, that is now closed, so picked El Jimador mostly out of a lack of anywhere else to eat. It was a great happenstance for me. I've eaten here three times. Each time the food has been great. The restaurant is always clean, service is good, food arrives quickly. In a town where a good sit down meal place is a rare find, El Jimador is a hidden gem. read more

Great food! Great prices! Very friendly staff! Very Clean and lots of space to practice social distancing.

Absolutely terrible! Didn't get chips and salsa for five minutes after being sat at a table! Order came out cold and raw! No waitress even came to check on the table! Empty cups and no refills were even offered!! read more

me and my 6 friends went to eat and they gave us 2 little salsa's and gave us a small bowl of chips, and steak in my food when i simply asked for chicken. I also found a hair in my food. and they didn't bother to clean our table. read more

The food is mediocre. It's not terrible, but it's not good. The portions are good, but the sauces are bland and everything from the tortillas to the sauces look just like they came directly from a can or a jar purchased from the local grocery store. This would explain why it's served so quickly. It's about exactly what I could produce at home with little effort using nothing but off-the-shelf ingredients, which is good at home with my own efforts, but less than I expect when visiting a Restaurant and paying a premium. read more

Very good ! On a road trip and headed back to Texas, we were in a hurry and stopped into the first restaurant we seen at lunch time . The staff was so friendly and the food brought out in record time! We loved it and will visit again when in this area! read more

Fast service and great food. Once they get beer it will be the best restaurant in town!
