Galileo&#x27;s Mexican Restaurant

You would've thought we were the only people in the building. It was a little slow for Saturday. We go to guacamole he tucked us into chunky guacamole which I wish I would have said no to I like mine smoother better. The margaritas were on point. He made them fresh for us. I like the besides your typical dip they bring out like a black bean purée dip as well. we got the molcajete. There is a little different than I've ever had. It wasn't the typical warm spicy green sauce. It was a red, more oily like sauce. It was good but not what I expected. On the menu it also said that they had cheese with it, which is typically like a bread cheese and all the other restaurants I've ever had this at do, but they did not have any at this one even though it was on the menu. They did give you plenty of quail in it. The beans that came with it were awesome and they give you a whole bowl not a tiny cup. So we were full when But I didn't care for the sausage either or the cuts of meat so all in all I probably wouldn't order the molcajete from here again but their chips and salsa are good. They're guacamole was great and you can't beat the service. Plus they have free ice cream when you're done and they flavor it vanilla and strawberry, which was awesome.

The main course was delicious, but also disappointing because it what we received was very different from what was on the menu. The menu said green sauce, the sauce was no where near green, it was a red sauce. Still good, but not what we expected. Also there was barely any sauce, we had to ask for some more on the side. The menu also said the dish came with white cheese, but there was no cheese and when we asked the server, we were told no cheese came with the dish. It was definitely confusing, but all in all we had a great time. The charro beans & rice and guac that came with it were had great flavor. Flour tortillas were delicious & fresh. Service was great and the free soft serve ice-cream is a nice touch. Will definitely try again.

I didn't care for the refried beans, but the rice was good. Overall, it's decent Mexican food at decent prices. Service was good. We asked for the green taco sauce and it was a good flavor, but not spicy which for some people the table that was perfect cause they can't handle spice. It's kind of one of those blink and you might miss it places just off the side of 36 next to it looks like an auto shop kind of thing in the parking is just up against the building lining 36. It's not a huge place inside so I don't know what it's like when it gets busy. But I would go back.

I went on a Wednesday and ordered their fajita special with both chicken and beef. It's presented as enough for two people, although I personally felt the portion of meat was a little small for two. They do give you plenty of rice, beans, tortillas, chips, and sides, so you'll definitely fill up, but I would have liked to see a little more meat on the fajita platter. Prices are also a bit higher than what I'm used to at similar Mexican restaurants around Houston and Katy. That may simply come with being in a smaller area where there aren't as many restaurants or as much competition. One thing I do want to mention for safety: near the entrance/seating area there is a metal gate or railing that blends in with the surroundings and can be easy to miss if you're not paying attention. While I was sitting nearby, I saw at least 3-5 people trip or nearly trip over that area. Hopefully management can make it more visible or removed because it seems like an easy problem to fix. Other than those points, the food was very good, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and I enjoyed my visit. Based on the options available in the area, I would say this is definitely one of the better restaurants around and worth trying. I'd come back again.

The prices are more than fair for the quality and portion sizes you get -- definitely one of those places where you walk out feeling satisfied without feeling like you overpaid. The service is another highlight. The staff is attentive and quick, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. My food came out fast, hot, and exactly as ordered, which shows real attention to detail in the kitchen. The location is convenient and easy to access, making it a great stop for a casual lunch or quick dinner. Now, on the flip side -- the atmosphere could use a little love. It feels a bit dated, and while that old-school charm might work for some, I think a small refresh could make the dining experience even better. The decor and lighting give more "classic local diner" than "vibrant cantina," but it doesn't take away from how good the food and service are. Overall, El Jimador is one of those dependable neighborhood gems where you know exactly what you're getting: great food, great prices, and friendly service. A little modern update, and it could easily be a five-star experience.
