While the food is good, it's not anything that I would go out of my way to get. But no complaints on food, serving sizes, or service. The complaint is $18.76 for chilaquiles. Yes groceries are high. 2 eggs, some chips, refried beans, and fried potatoes? Come on man. $9 all day. $18, never again. read more

I visited the Stephen Austin Statue and the city museum. I was looking for a Mexican Restaurant. Google told me to go here to Jimador. It was around 2pm when I arrived. The restaurant was empty. It was easy to order. I got pollo-chicken. I hadn't eaten a Mexican food for 6 months. It was super tasty. When I paid, one of the servers asked me' Are you Japanese? " I said yes. But I missed Mexican food. Tacos are better than sushi here in Texas! The Mexicans are very authentic here in Texas. The inside was a very Mexican atmosphere. I loved it. I found a mural of Selena who was a popular singer. Here is very Tex-Mex! read more

Amazing food every time we visit. Serving staff are great as well. Our favorite place in town. read more

We have been regulars here for years. The food is good but we went because you could get a full meal at an affordable price. Today we went in and without warning they doubled their prices. Their large queso is now $16 and their plates are 15 dollars and up. Unfortunately, the food quality did not improve enough to justify the new prices. read more

First and last time coming here. Got charged for WAY more than what I ordered. No matter how many times we tried to run the numbers the math did not math for everything we got. The cashier refused to give me an itemized receipt to show me why my bill was $80 for 3 meals. Will not be coming back. read more

Come on El Jimador something has happened to your food, i used to come in and get a nice sirloin or T bone and they were great and tasty. My daughter and I came in after a road trip to have a great meal, I was very disappointed with my steak, I got a T bone and rather than it being red, juicy & tender it was a shade of grey, very thin & very tough and I did well to choke it down I know you can do better, so you might want to start looking at what you served and see if you would eat it, if not throw it out and start over, even though this happened to me I will be back, everyone needs another chance. Thanks Rick read more

Excellent experience at Taqueria El Jimador! Like many Mexican restaurants, many options can be veganized! The food was delicious; the atmosphere is lovely, and excellent customer service. We had: -Chips & Salsa (of course!) -Guac (of course!) -Avocado Torta: Bread is dairy/egg free. Ask for no butter, no cream, no mayo, no cheese. -The torta goes fantastic with the salsa verde! -Nopalito (cactus) taco. Yummy! -Rice **Would get this again! COVID Notes -Indoor and Outdoor dining was available. -The order was effortless, quick, & accurate. -Excellent customer service, masks were required, staff wore masks and gloves. -Limited seating capacity. Plenty of comfortable space. -No issues at all. Can't wait to go back! Thank you, Taqueria El Jimador, for having a Vegan Options! read more

Great food and great service. Waitresses are awesome. The Lady at register is the most unpleasant person in the whole restaurant. She seems to always be in a fowl mood. read more

They will try to overcharge you every single time. Beware! They charge 3.99% for credit cards and don't take checks.

This is Texas, which basically belongs to Mexico, no matter what anyone says. So needless to say there are at least 3 large Mexican Restaurants in a town with a population of 18.1k (that I can tell) This one is very good. It is not TEX MEX, so forget what you know have in your pretty little heads. Not Pappasitos, Not Jimmy Changas This food is mild on the tongue, not overly seasoned, yet seasoned enough to be tasty. Add your own salt and pepper of you want more. Ordered Chicken Soup with flour tortillas (it comes with spanish rice) Tacos AL Carbon Both were really good. I would definitely order soup again. And this has created in me a soup challenge. To try every soup in the surrounding Mexican restaurants. The fajita meat was well seasoned and the tortillas were on point. Definitely worth more than we paid (which was under $26.00) read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Sub par food, everything is charged extra (who charges for lettuce and tomatoes on a taco). $10 for two tacos, not worth it. Don't waste your money or time!! read more

I had breakfast here for the first time and the restaurant is clean and the environment is nice, but not impressed with the food, service, and the price for 2 eggs, cup and a half of potatoes, 2 bacon strips, and one cup of coffee due to no service. Costed me almost 14 dollars. Restrooms for the lady's stinks and not very clean. I have been to a lot of restaurants and I do blog them. I still recommend Kelly's for the price, amount of food received, service, and cleanliness. Men that love to eat go to Kelly's if you go towards Alvin. read more

Went this morning for breakfast and Service was great and fast warm food . I recommend this restaurant for breakfast as a owner of Vallarta Mexican Grill el jimador has great food as well ! read more

This is our favorite Mexican breakfast spot in town. We always get great service, and the food always comes out quickly. Inside, the place is loaded with tables and has a nice Mexican Decor. Most of the waitresses speak pretty good English and probably all speak Spanish. They are very friendly and I never lack for soda refills. We pretty much only come here for breakfast so I can't rate the lunch or dinner. My only complaint on the breakfast is sometimes it seems the bacon is deep fried instead of pan fried. That pretty much ruins the bacon for me. It's strange cuz other times it seems pan fried. Today is a good day. They have 2 salsas, one served hot and one served cold. Love love love their cold sauce. Overall a great breakfast spot for us read more

Taqueria El Jimador - Huevos Rancheros. My favorite. - Mexican Near Me - Angleton, Texas

I ordered the crispy taco special which was $4.99. Came with 3 crispy tacos and rice. It wasn't anything special. Meat had little flavor. Great prices and service though. read more

El Jimador is one of many Mexican restaurants in Angleton, which are family owned and operated. This place is totally "legit". A lot of the menu is written in Spanish; thankfully I was with people who could translate. I ordered fish soup, which was tasty and filling served with a fresh tortilla. Chips and salsa are bountiful served as soon as you are seated. Our server was attentive and personable. They's had mixed reviews on Yelp, which means you should see for yourself if this place is as "amazing" as some people have already proclaimed. read more

Delicious food and great service. We had the barbacoa breakfast plate and let me tell you the portion is huge and the taste is on point! I don't live in Angleton but when I return to visit my family I'll be making a stop here again. read more

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant while in town. The service was good, the salsa was okay. However my dinner was great! I had a gordita that included carne asada and my husband had the Guisada dinner, which was okay. read more

Damn so disappointed. I look forward to getting pozole on the weekends. And last time I had it, it was awesome. But today it was disgusting. I've never gotten it take out before and maybe that was the problem. The only meat it had in it was two giant pigs feet that took up half the container. And usually I get onions, jalapeños, cilantro and cabbage for topping. But today all I got was cabbage, tomatoes and radish and it was so gross with the soup. So dissatisfied. Sucks when you were really looking forward to it. read more

I went here today with my boyfriend. I was greeted promptly and seated in the booth area. We ordered our food and began eating. When we saw a big roach on the wall next to us. My boyfiend squished the roach while the employees just watched. At the same time I had a fly going around our area. We were so disgusted we got up, paid and left. I will not be returning. This place needs to clean up, its been going downhill. read more

Good for a cheap lunch. eat here often and have always found there food to be good. service is generally fast, but have had a few inattentive waiters. read more

I have only been here once but my fiance comes every time he is down here. I was amazed at how good the food was though! It was like eating authentic mexican food straight from Mexico!! The flavors and spices were wonderful and the meat just melted in my mouth! (that's what she said, right? Hah!) Their chips are also not too greasy and the sauces were some of the best I have had so far! Anyways, a lot of the staff members there are bilingual so there may be a small language barrier. Just be sure to speak clearly or you will get some crazy drink like I did. I must muble too much... Oh well! It is kind of in the middle of no where but if you happen to end up around here, I'd suggest you stop by. Those cops are sneaky on 288 going to the beach... (the whole reason I was down in angleton....) read more

OK so there's not many yelp reviews but this place is absolutely completely amazing and authentic even though it's hidden back in this little shopping mall of the chicken quesadilla is great! read more

Taqueria El Jimador - Mexican Near Me - Angleton, Texas

This was in my fajita enchilada dinner. I didn't pay for my meal. I payed for everyone else's. They should have not charge me for anything. I could have wound up in the hospital for that. read more

Taqueria El Jimador - I almost ate this piece of plastic in my fajita enchilada dinner. - Mexican Near Me - Angleton, Texas

One of my favorite Mexican spots. I have been to 3 different locations, and they all seem to have the same consistent vibe/food. Love the Mariachis when they are there! Food is delicious. They don't all use the same salsa recipe which is not a problem. read more

I just dropped my dog to the vet and my wife and I decided we wanted breakfast. We stopped at el jimador because we were looking to eat inside instead of on the go. We sat down and were greeted and asked our drink order which was small orange juice and water. Approximately 5 minutes later we still never received our drinks and then a large group walked in. I saw my waitress ask their drink order, deliver their drinks, and get there food order. Immediately we left still parched and hungry read more

First time back in four months. Charo beans were mainly chunks of fat and liquid. Swarmed by flies during dinner. Serving staff more interested in TV and talking than working read more

Love the food but the service because of the lack of technology has this place have very poor and slow service. Tickets everywhere, cooks can't read handwriting. Organization is what keep this place from 5 stars. read more

Love the food-Much better location and even better service! Parking lot can get tight when they're busy but roomy inside.

We ordered 2 #10s and my mom added avocado but it was nasty tasted like fake nails and then the food was small and

Last visit was horrible, waitress was very slow and tables smelled very bad. Food was salty and undercooked.

We love their location in Clute, but this location just was not very good. My wife and I were both disappointed in our lunch. Back to Clute again for true delicious Mexican food !! read more

Go for breakfast, their pancakes are divine,but if you like real butter, you'll need to bring your own. The coffee is hot and you can use the free wifi, this a win-win, since that means I don't have to eat at Mickey Ds to check my email. While the staff doesn't speak a lot of English they will bend over backwards to make sure you are well served and get what you want. Avoid the mariachi music on the weekends unless your 86 year old mom's in town and you need cheap entertainment My husband loves the whole fried fish, beware the bones! Real Mexican candy is available at checkout, the margaritas suck, but will do the job when mom decides to stay for two weeks. read more

Always amazing service. The food is legit Mexican food and is made my legit Mexican people. It's very cost friendly and always fills you up. If you want a really good ban for your buck then this is the place. It's not a 5 star restaurant but for what it is, it's amazing. read more

More of a true Mexican food place than your usual Tex Mex. Very affordable too. Brush up on your Spanish as they speak broken English here

The food and service here are always great. The food is very reasonably priced. If you want to eat authentic Mexican food, not Tex-Mex, this is the place. read more

Been coming here for the last year since moving to Angleton from Houston. I have to admit I was worried I wouldn't get my Mexican food fix in Angleton. This place was a nice surprise. Good food, nice staff, and real Mexican sodas and aguas frescas which make me happy on a hot day! The salsa and queso are good, fresh homemade flour tortillas, fresh beans what more could you ask for?! The price is reasonable, a little higher than most spots in Houston but still very affordable. Atmosphere is good on Friday nights they have Mariachis which is fun. Bathrooms don't look the best but they do keep them clean. Parking lot looks big but can be tight especially on the weekends. Overall, this place has given me the ability to get my Mexican food fix :) read more

I usually eat at a different Mexican restaurant but I wanted to try somewhere else. Glad I did because the food was great (NOT Tex-Mex!) and the service was very attentive. I'll definitely be back. BTW, I discovered this restaurant used to be hidden by McD's but now it's in a much larger, stand-alone building right on Velasco, across from where it used to be. read more

Best Mexican food in town. This is the most authentic in the area, not your usual Tex-Mex. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, take-out, it's all good. We eat hear or take out several times a week. If you want a gringo experience, go somewhere else. If you want the real thing, this is the place. read more

This place is probably the best authentic place you will find in Angleton. The food is far better than La Casona which caters to the "Gringo" style. But not El Jimador, you will get very good Mexican authentic food here at very reasonable prices. read more
