    Great tacos and a great value. Mexican decor and a local feel. Service was good and quick.

    I don't understand all the 1 stars. We were seated immediately. The waitress wasn't super attentive or interactive, is the only reason they didn't get a 5 star. The food was really good. The guys in the back that helped bring out the food were sociable and friendly. Loved the volcano bowl presentations. Sonoran style flare. Our fav!

    Green Chicken Enchiladas, salsa, strawberry margarita.

    I am from Arizona and I miss authentic, Sonoran Mexican food. This is the closest I have found, and they have the best salsa in the upstate, in my opinion. There salsa verde is the best I have found. The charred tomato and spicy tomato salsa are fantastic as well, though I am allergic and should not have had any! But I'll be fine. I highly recommend this place and will be bringing my husband, sisters, their husbands, and niece/nephew asap! PS: the chips are so good!

    Hair in our food.

    We ordered delivery to eat while watching Clemson vs. Iowa State play football. Shortly after my wife began eating her food she raised her fork to show me food hanging from her fork by a hair. I asked if she was going to be able to eat the chips, queso, and guac. She handed me a stale chip. Disappointed to say the least. I normally don't negatively review a place without making contact and seeing if they will make the situation right. In this case that would mean a refund for that part of our order. However, after 15 attempts to call the restaurant, all during advertised hours of business, and all unanswered, I wanted to make sure they know about this issue.

    I had a poor experience at Habaneros. My soup arrived cold and my ribeye steak was too fatty.

    Pretty decent Mexican out in the middle of nowhere. Two sides, restaurant side and bar side. Nice outdoor seating area. We have been quite a few times and it never seems to disappoint. Margaritas are decent, server is always excellent. I really like the Carnitas Dinner. Fried pork with refried beans and rice. My wife gets the chicken quesadilla. We have sat on both sides for lunch on weekends and dinner during the week, always a good chill vibe and local crowd.

    Grande Burrito

    Huge burrito and dollar tacos on Tuesday. Very good food. Don't let the outside fool you. Staff was friendly and fast. I definitely got my money's worth.

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.

It was very busy, so the extremely slow service was somewhat understandable. What wasn't understandable, was 30 mins after ordering entrees, the server came over to ask my daughter's BF if he had ordered the $80 tomahawk steak. He looked shocked and said no, he ordered the steak and shrimp fajitas. Shortly after, he brought my daughter's and my entrées. We waited for quite some time for her BF's entrée to arrive. 20 to 25 minutes later he brought out steak fajitas minus the shrimp. At that point we had basically finished our entrées. We pointed out to the server that the shrimp was missing from his entrée and he disappeared. We had asked for the bill because it was already getting very late and we had other plans. He brought our bill over with no adjustment at all. I commented that they should have done something based on the fact that not only was the meal completely disappointing, but they brought him the wrong entrée. He then brought the manager over who made a lame apology saying they were very busy and I explained that it had nothing to do with the busyness, but that the server had a limited understanding of English, and had placed the wrong order. He then gave us $5 off the bill. FIVE DOLLARS??? That's not even a drink. Don't bother with this restaurant when there are so many other better Mexican options to choose from. Shame on you taking advantage of the college crowd and their families.

    My new favorite restaurant in the Clemson area! Stopped in on Saturday night for dinner and it was…read morea great experience! The restaurant was very busy and there was a little bit of a wait. The inside, outside, and bar are all seated on the waiting list. They sat the 2 of us at the bar and it was a fun experience. The bartender made great recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the menu. They have 8 draft beers on tap and a large cocktail menu. We started off with the crispy brussels and it was excellent. The balsamic honey reduction was a nice addition to the appetizer. We got two sandwiches (chimichurri steak press and brisket reuben) and both were very good and recommended by the bartender. I enjoyed the fries a little more than the chips for a side item. Definitely plan on coming back to this restaurant the next time I'm up in Clemson!

The bar has seating for about 12 to 15 and it is open style and very loud as evidenced by the noise baffles hanging from the ceiling. Our server was so sweet she took the time to explain that she too is a Clemson student and went into depth on the menu. I got the French dip and you can add three wings to your meal which seems like a good idea at the time. Also I swapped out the fries for a salad because I'm chunky. My wife and daughter at the burger and chicken tacos respectively, Burger was indeed tasty and the tacos were on point. Place seems to die down about 8:30 but it was the first week back from school break but you can tell this is a local favorite especially when the parents come in town! If things go well and we end up sending our daughter to Clemson we will definitely be back to evolve!

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.

Mary's grill on 183, California grill on Hwy 130 and Taco Riendo in Six mile are ten times better than pancho's in central . The meal was a feeble attempt at a Mexican restaurant, which won't be there long because of the "I don't give a damn attitude from kitchen to wait staff" for a few hours before. No one ever asked me if the food was alright . So yourself a favor and buy old El Paso taco mix because it's 19 x's better than Panchos in central !
