El Jimador Mexican Restaurant

Great service. Food was fresh and tasty.

I got the carnitas dinner and it is always so good! My husband got the steak fajitas dinner and my daughter got the kids taco, rice and beans. Overall the food is always excellent. This is our 3rd time going to El Jimador since moving to Dahlonega. I had refrained previously from leaving a review because I wanted to give this place a chance with the staff/waitresses but the service is pretty bad. The waitress we had was Torial M per the receipt and she got snippy and an attitude when she hadn’t checked on us for a while and my husband was fed up. A. She didn’t give us a small bowl on the side like we’d asked for the large queso we got. B. We got no silverware or napkins. C. The menu was smeared with sticky queso and wasn’t wiped down. We got our food and still had no silverware or napkins, so we just sat there and waited. After 5 minutes I asked a different waitress for silverware and napkins. Never got the extra bowl we asked for either. We were checked on 2 times during the hour long dinner. She had another server bring us the check and we had zero interaction with her again. She was completely unprofessional and despite all of that my husband felt bad and said, “we don’t know what she has going on in her personal life.” We still left a small tip for the 5 minutes of her time she gave us. To management, get it together with your staff. The food is great but the service, not so much.

Neat little Mexican restaurant 😋

Excellent food, large portions, great value. We sat outside on the front patio- had a great time. Highly recommend!

Normally love this place but tonight on Halloween what looked like maybe the owners wife and her friends were so loud yelling and cackling it gave me a headache and caused our kids to be extremely uncomfortable. This went on for the entire time we were there. Server was great though.

Rachel was the BEST!!

I got texano loco and it was pretty good. But the waitress Savanna who was “taking care of” us ruined my dinner. I asked her if the food has onions and she IMMEDIATELY said NO which was a lie, it did have onions. If she hadn’t answered my question that quick or she at least went to the kitchen and check the chef then I would have been like “at least she did something”. She didn’t even do either and didn’t come check on us AT ALL. Onions make me sick. Imagine I had onion allergy, she could have caused death or something. For this, I’m giving 1 star but I’m sure the other waitresses should be fine and the food is divine so it’s just the experience I got from her.
Also, queso was $5 which is ridiculous. Why would SAUCE cost $5???? Is this supposed to be a fancy restaurant? I don’t think so.

The home made chips are worth the visit alone. Super service as the wait staff works as a team. The food was fresh hot and delicious. A sure stop for anyone who is in Dahlonega.

Been here many times, and I am in shock about how horrible the food is. Only reason for my most recent visit was because it was a friend’s birthday dinner. Go to pueblos instead!

Me and my family come here often, but today will be the last as the owner is so rude! If someone makes you upset don’t take it out on your customers:) not how you operate a business

Very good place, if you're in D Town check it out.

We waited at the door for quite a while with no acknowledgement. When we asked the wait staff if we should seat ourselves they we are busy and walked away. I have never even left a review before but they really rubbed me the wrong way. Very negative experience. Two thumbs down
