    Carnitas
    Richard M.

    I have this affinity for small family Mexican Restaurants. Los Jimadores fits that bill. Firstly, the waitress we had was very friendly and delightful. When I asked her for opinion for the Birria tacos vs. the Sonoran Tacos, she said I picked to the two favorite things not the menu and she couldn't decide. But I am getting ahead of myself. Firstly, the chips and salsa. They really set the mood for the meal, although not having them is something I can live with if the meal is extraordinary. Los Jimadores has chips and salsa - and they add a kicker. Mexican slaw. A vinegar based slaw with a spicy kick. This was one of the better ones I had. The salsa was good and chunky, but we agreed it was a little sweet. The chips are the flaky crispy kind. We also ordered the house margarita. I was prepared to be disappointed because their drink menu was filled with those sugary 'tropical' drinks that were more popular 15 years ago. Their tequila menu is a bit lacking. But the house margarita was good, not too sweet and had that familiar feeling. I decided on the Sonoran Tacos. They had strip steak, a roasted Anaheim Pepper and a grilled Mexican cheese. They also came with a very good, very spicy salsa. The roasted peppers and the salsa made this dish. My wife had the carnitas, because she has been on a carnitas kick as of late. They were moist and crispy on the outside with a good green chili on top. If I had to find fault, it would the salsa with the chips and the tequila selection. The salsa with the Sonoran Tacos was fabulous - but I get that there is probably a cost difference. And the menu is a bit long. But if I am in the area, I will be back. And I will order the Birria Tacos. They looked really good being brought to a table next to ours.

    Friends took us to Los Jimadores this past Sunday and wasn't disappointed. Some people might call this place a hole in the wall, but if it is the food is still very good. If you're looking for something fancy this isn't it. A good meal is what you get here. The shrimp tacos were really good on homemade flour tortillas. My dining companions all took their meals home since it was so much food on the plate. The meals were packed with flavor. The margaritas were really good and if you have two make sure you have a driver that's not drinking. My final comment is regarding the service. Pamela (Pam) was our waitress. She alone is a reason to come to Los Jimadores. She's a super waitress and full of sass in a good way!

    Menu

    The second I walked in the door I knew this was the place to be! The restaurant was very busy for being so early in the evening. We were quickly greeted by a very friendly hostess, and we were seated promptly. Our waitress was very attentive, and she always had a smile on her face. Now, for the food part... The menu reads like a novel; it has absolutely everything imaginable. Fresh tortilla chips, salsa, and a Mexican slaw were placed on the table. We ordered house margaritas which were on point, and they were huge! The main courses were beyond plentiful and exploded with flavor. There were three of us dining, and we ordered: chicken quesadilla, chile relleno, platter, and carnitas platter. UNREAL! Can't wait to return!!!

    Delicious food with generous portions. Service was amazing. Be sure to try the Sopapillas! Fluffy light perfection. It was a wonderful birthday party!

    Enchilada and soft taco

    First time at this place and it was pretty empty for a Friday night I understand being understaffed and being busy but they weren't so I was confused a little on why our service was slow the waitress seemed kinda annoyed taking our order. The food on the other hand was delicious props to the cook! The water was nasty. But the pepino margarita I got was good my friend got a mojito and it was good as well!

    I found this place by driving around the area couple of times and was blown how much traffic it gets. Finally decided to try it myself to see what it was about and was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. To start my fiancé and I wanted a beer but what we wanted they were out. The food was not appetizing at all, the rice looked like it was reheated, beans were dry and unsalted. The meat (shredded beef) was nothing but fat. I don't know what the hype is but this place is disgusting. My fiancé ordered ceviche, the shrimp had pieces of peel on it and he had to squeeze his own lime on it and seasoning on it (s&p). Don't let the 5+ reviews and traffic fool you.

    Queso

    I don't leave reviews, however when I sit down to dinner and find rodent droppings on the table you can be damn sure there will be a review. The chips were stale, the salsa was flavorless, the queso was literally melted string cheese, the food was bland and DRIPPING with oil. Definitely not worth the $75. I only gave 1 star because it won't let me give no stars. People were nice, food was horrible.

The booth's were made from large concrete culverts and with 8 of them it looked great. I was very impressed with the building and atmosphere and this is why I gave it 3 stars. It may have gotten 4 if I would have been able to have a drink, I was working so I needed to be good. Now let's get to the food! I had the lemon chicken which they gave a cutesy name that I don't remember off hand. The chicken tasted great, but I am pretty sure that a sparrow would have dwarfed the bird they took the breast off of. I was also disappointed with the lentil beans that seemed a bit under cooked and wouldn't have been enough to fill up the bird I ate. They need to get their portions more in line with what the consumer wants and what they are charging. I am not saying that they should feed you like you are at a truck stop, but I want to eat healthy and still feel like I ate something. The food that I purchased for over $18 wouldn't have filled up a 6 year old. I mentioned this to the waiter and he did try to make it right with a few different suggestions, which I appreciated. They just opened, so I will give them a few weeks to improve on what they have and then I will go back and try it again. I will make sure that this time I am able to have a few drinks and enjoy the sunset at their outdoor seating.

The venue itself is kind of small, but they are able to accommodate a party of 10 last minute so that was nice. I had never been to this location, but my friend lives in the area and says he goes frequently. When we first arrived, they were kind friendly and greeted us immediately. They were able to see us at their largest table. My friend then placed all of the orders because he knew what we all liked and what they had on the menu already. The food came out in waves, which was nice so we got a chance to eat a little bit of everything at a time instead of being overwhelmed with everything all at once. The temperature of the food was great! Hot and fresh :-) the seasoning could've been a little better. My friend said some of the "spicy" food was not very spicy. My friend who suggested it said that tonight wasn't their best night though as well. He said he's been before and it was great while tonight's food was just mediocre. I would definitely be willing to give them another try, but it is a little far from where we all live so it might be a while till we head back. The service was amazing though, very friendly, very attentive and very kind.
