Single dinner at in the bar area.Sever was top notch and food was on point. Salsa was also great with a nice thick consistency not watered down. 10 out 10 recommend.

My family and I were looking for a place to eat on our way to Kentucky to visit the Noah's Ark Encounter and happened upon El Jinete. They are located in strip mall type place. The outside looks according, but is just as nice as a stand alone building.Inside is nice and decorated well. They had a packed house...for a Friday night I expect this was probably normal for them. We walked in and they immediately sat us even though they don't have much room (tables very close together). They quickly served us and kept good attention on us without too much. Food had a good flavor, especially for AmeriMex (American Mexican) food. The chips and salsa have a good flavor, not overpowered by the tomato. My wife had the Nachos Fajita Jalisco, my little girl rice and beans, boy chicken tenders and fries and I had the Choriqueso (cheese dip with jalapeños and chorizo) and salsa tomatillo. Most places don't charge for the spicy salsa, but they did here ($1). Decent value for the money. Only drawbacks for my family and I is that it also has a bar and the closeness of the seats. We were basically sitting with another family. We'd most likely return here again if we were in the area. Apparently, others think so too. They have 2 other locations. No military discount offered.

Delicious! Better calling in an order than ordering online though. Sometimes the order gets messed up through the system.

I had the shrimp burrito fajita, and it was amazing. They were able to sit a party of eleven very quickly, and service was great. Drinks full, food was out fast. Highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu with lots of options for even the pickiest eaters
