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, chimichangas, burritos with shredded beef, and a variety of sides including some of the best rice ever—moist and flavorful. The restaurant also 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, and the servers are often new and could be more attentive. The restaurant's music and decor are described as fun and vibrant, adding to the lively 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.
