About El Jinete Mexican Restaurant

El Jinete Mexican Restaurant is a cozy and family-friendly establishment that offers delicious Mexican cuisine. The Lunch Fajitas are a crowd-pleaser, though the portion size may be smaller for lunch. The service is good, and the prices are reasonable, making it a popular choice for both lunch and dinner. The restaurant is ADA compliant, with limited handicap parking available.

The Texan Fajitas are delicious, and the customer service is great. The atmosphere is nice and clean. The restaurant is also hosting a Bengal tailgate party this Sunday under a tent outside with food, drinks, and games for all.

Customers praise the salsa as one of the best, and the waiters as great. The food is described as so good, and the place makes you feel comfortable. While the quesadilla had a lackluster amount of chicken and a fair amount of cheese, it was small and had no rice or beans, which is usually the standard. The fried ice cream was not deep-fried but rolled in corn flakes.

Overall, El Jinete Mexican Restaurant is a great place to eat lunch or dinner, and the prices are fair. Customers highlight the quick service, fresh and hot food, and inviting atmosphere as reasons to recommend this hidden gem.

Went to El Jinete for the first time. Ordered it to go as we had just bought fish next door. When we got home we realized that the food was made incorrectly. Called the store to let them know and the guy on the phone says to bring the food back in and he can help. I explain that I do live 20 min away and they close in 10 minutes is he going to stay open he says no. I asked if I can bring it in the morning then. He says no. I ask what can happen then as my order was $62.50, $67.50...read full review

My husband and I went there for dinner. We ordered the fajita for two without the shrimp, it was priced on the menu for 32.99. We received our bill they charged us 39.99. We would’ve been better off getting 2 separate fajitas for that price. When I asked the manager about the price she said it was an up charge because we were getting more meat, I said but we left off the shrimp. I asked her to show me any fajita on the menu for 39.99. She couldn’t…. They did nothing to honor...read full review

We have been eating here for year and use to love going in or getting take out. But it seems like prices keep going up and portions continue to get smaller. This past experience has made me never want to order from here again. 2 of our 4 meals were wrong. We were told oh nothing we can do unless you bring it up here. Also the guy answering the phone is rude and doesn’t say anything until you say anything so you don’t even know if you called the right number until you ask....read full review
