About El Jimador

El Jimador is a lively restaurant that offers delicious Mexican food, featuring well-seasoned rice and high-quality dishes that are hard to find elsewhere. The menu is extensive, with many items like mole poblano chicken, chimi sampler, and burritos with shredded beef, as well as sides that include some of the best rice ever—moist and flavorful. The kitchen is also known for its outstanding mole sauce, which can be paired with various dishes. The restaurant serves a giant drink in a bowl, made with tequila, grapefruit soda, Mexican squirt, lime juice, and slices of lime, orange, and pink grapefruit, which is both beautiful and fun to share. The ambiance is bright and friendly, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

While the food consistently impresses, service can sometimes be limited due to staffing issues, although the staff has been described as very attentive. The music is better than most Mexican restaurant playlists, adding to the fun and vibrant atmosphere. However, there are some issues with parking, and the music occasionally stops. The location is less sanitized than other branches, which might be noticeable to some guests. Despite these minor issues, El Jimador remains a popular spot for quality Mexican food and a welcoming environment.
