" Best experience ever! El Jimador perfectly combined vibrant decor and delicious food. Our group loved the carne asada and shrimp nachos. Portions were generous; I had enough to take home! The server was attentive without being overbearing, which we appreciated. This is the Mexican restaurant we've been waiting for in Knightdale. Highly, highly recommend to anyone seeking authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading several reviews, I was excited to visit El Jimador. The interior is delightful, with colorful decorations. The food was fresh and tasty; I enjoyed the carnitas greatly, though I would have liked more spice. The service was friendly, but we had to wait a bit for refills. I plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jimador is the place to be for authentic Mexican food! The decor really sets the mood, and we felt transported to Mexico. Our meal started with freshly made guacamole that was divine! I had the carne asada, and I must say the steak was cooked to perfection. The servings were quite large, definitely enough for two meals. The atmosphere was bustling, and staff moved quickly to keep things flowing smoothly. I can't find anything I didn't like! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great addition to Knightdale! I visited for the lunch special, which was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is vibrant and makes you feel like you're in Mexico. The refried beans were top-notch! I ordered two tacos and they were perfectly seasoned. That said, I would have loved another drink refill during the meal, my server was a bit slow with that. However, I'm looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by El Jimador after hearing so many good things, but my experience was mixed. The decor is vibrant and welcoming, and the chips they served were warm and fresh. Unfortunately, the food was a bit hit or miss. My fajitas were tasty, but my wife’s veggie tacos were lacking variety. There were only peppers and onions. Service was friendly but could use a little more help during rush hours. I would try it again, but I hope they can improve! " (*Curated Review*)

" So I finally tried El Jimador and was really looking forward to it after all the buzz. The food was generally good, but I've experienced better. My enchiladas were a bit dry, though the flavors were there. On the bright side, the service was fast, and our server was sweet. The ambiance felt lively, which was engaging but a tad noisy. Overall, it was a good experience and I would give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place to enjoy Mexican food with family! El Jimador impressed us with their colorful ambiance and friendly service. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were delicious, but a little on the smaller side. However, I appreciated the warm chips they served at the beginning. Overall, it's a solid choice when craving Mexican! " (*Curated Review*)
