The servers are super nice, and the food comes out fast, which is always a plus. I ordered the steak nachos, and the portions were great -- I really loved them. The chips were loaded, and it was definitely enough food. My friends got tacos, and they looked really good too. Overall, I really like this place and believe it's the best Mexican restaurant around. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Pendleton.

Several of us ordered them custom made. Everyone enjoyed them. Well prepared. The chips were crispy. They brought a warm bean dip with was great. They also have a salsa bar in the back with quite a variety of salsas to fit any taste... the spicy pineapple salsa was tops on my list. We had beer, wine, margaritas... across the four of us. Everyone liked what they got. The wine menu is basic, they have a bar so whatever you want is available, they had a nice selection of beer appropriate for the Mexican theme. We will definitely be coming back. Oh, we got there at 5 and were the second table occupied in the place. By 5:30 the place was full. So, on a Friday night be aware that the place is popular.

You can tell they really care about their customers and the food they put out. Definitely one of our favorite go-to Mexican restaurants!

Started off with some chicken flautas which were good and I was happy they used shredded chicken. We both got a specialty margarita as well - 1 pineapple cucumber which had chunks of real pineapple and one gummy bear which was more of a novelty but still had good taste. For mains I got the carne asada, which I regretted as the meat was more like roast beef slices than what I'm used to.

We have our favorite go to restaurants but we decided to try a new place & we are glad we did! Ramon greeted us & he was very friendly & provided great service! Inside is huge & very clean! My husband had the California Burrito Bowl & he loved it; the steak was very tender and seasoned well! I had the steak fajitas, the portion size was huge and the dish was packed with flavor! We cook Mexican dishes a lot at home & normally when we eat out at a Mexican restaurant, it lacks enough seasoning, but not here!! We will definitely be back! Bonus: I had enough leftovers to feed us both the next day for lunch! :)

Their Texas margaritas are absolutely awesome -- easily some of the best around. Perfect flavor, strong enough to enjoy, and they pair great with the food.

That personal touch goes a long way and makes you feel welcomed every visit. Great food, great drinks, and great people. Highly recommend!

Wood booths with the El Jimador logo decorate each booth. The staff is attentive with numerous check-ins during the meal. Frequent water refills, extra salsa and chips and all around customer care make this dining experience a pleasant one. As for the food, the fajitas come in numerous combinations that include old favorites like steak and chicken, but also include creative combos like steak/chicken/bacon, which is one of my favorites. The fajitas, which I have had several times are excellent and flavorful. Fajitas are my favorite section of the menu. The other parts of the menu are less consistent. The tacos are good but inconsistent and lack flavor. Everything feels authentic and tasty. Overall I really like this restaurant.
