“Shrimp tacos was awesome“

“I am very disappointed in writing this negative review. We normally love El Jimador and always eat here for date night or family dinners out. On Saturday 2/17 at 12pm I spoke to someone at the restaurant to reserve a table for 4pm that day for a party of 13. It was confirmed by the employee no problem. The party arrived at 4pm and apparently the young lady wrote the reservation for the wrong date. We were told our table would be ready shortly. Twenty minutes later I went and asked again and the rude girl said "I told the other lady it would be ready in ten minutes". She didn't say that. She then proceeded to stare at me rudely through the glass doors. A man said the customers at the only area for big parties was finishing up and he couldn't make them leave. Finally at 4:45 we were seated. Six members of the party received their food within a decent time. The child's food finally came towards the end (a cheese quesadilla and fries). A simple meal for a child should always come out first. We had one kid eating and two waiting. When we were all done eating and after asking several times the last two party members finally received their food. Then someone decided to give our waitress for a table of 13 another table of about 20 people so we didn't see her for awhile because she was so busy. She did great, considering. We never received an official apology. This was a terrible experience for our out of town guests. Update: manager reached out to me via pm. Very apologetic and would like to make things right. Thank you!“

“? El Jimador is our go to restaurant for sure considering it is the BEST Mexican restaurant around in our opinion. From the time we enter the doors this restaurant is amazing. Upon arriving we are always greeted with smiles, a cozy atmosphere, fast seating and fast service. After being seated the waiter/waitress starts everyone off with homemade chips, salsa and white sauce. The white sauce is like nothing I have ever seen at other Mexican restaurants. It is so delicious and pairs well with the salsa. Their sweet tea is another one of my favorite things about this place. I definitely need their secret recipe. Their menu has a wide selection of delicious choices for everyone including the kiddos, but some of my personal favorites are the fresh guacamole, burrito jimador, pollo charro, fried Baja shrimp tacos or mushroom quesadilla. The kids like their acp and chicken tenders with Mexican rice off the kids menu along with their large candy selection at check out for an after dinner treat. Keep up the good work! We will be back to dine with you guys soon! ? ****photo of our baby boy celebrating his second birthday there****“

“Fast service ,delicious food and a good variety of food and drinks!!!!“

“My co-workers and I love Chicos. We enjoy the patio especially bc we love to just look out at the river. It's very relaxing. The bartender is a very nice man. The service he provides is on point and the drinks are superb. He has to dual roles at times bc they can be short on staff. But this does not hinder the service that is provided. So I give Chicos a thumbs up. Stop by for a House margaritas. It's my favorite.“

“Food and services 10/10 I can eat it every day 😩😋“

“Sweet ppl! Service & food is always great“

“This place has the most awesome food!! The tamales and chile rellenos are to die for, the Carne asada and camarones al mojo de aho are wonderful. I have not tasted one thing that was not excellent.“

“To be honest the nicest drive through pickup experience. It’s little things. Being from north east littlest thing southern folks do makes me happy as I’m not used to it. I happened to ask some extra packs of hot sauce, the lady at the window happily handed me a handful of them. Never had that happened in my life.

Amazing staff and amazingly made food.“

“The barbacoa was super good and the conchas were delicious. The owner/employee was very kind—will definitely be back. La barbacoa estaba deliciosa y las conchas súper ricas. El dueño/empleado fue muy amable—definitivamente regresaré“

“The young lady helping us was great.But they stopped playing Christian music and the guys working on the line making food was cussing,loud enough for customers eating to hear them.The tables were absolutely nasty. Used to be good but now I believe Sunset Ave is way better for me and my family.“
