" I had high hopes coming to El Jimador but left feeling lukewarm about the experience. The tacos were decent but not the best I've had. I felt like they could use more seasoning. Also, it took quite some time for our server to provide us drink refills. On a positive note, the environment is welcoming, and the furniture is well-kept, making it comfortable. I'm unsure if I would return based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The environment at El Jimador is very inviting, and the food is pretty good. My experience with the service was mixed, as it took a long time for someone to take our order. However, the food arrived quickly after that. I don’t know if I would call it truly authentic Mexican food, but it’s filled with fresh ingredients, and the salsa was delightful. I think it’s worth a visit if you're craving a nice atmosphere with decent food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Jimador is a must-visit if you're in Hot Springs Village. I have dined here several times, and every experience has been enjoyable. The enchiladas are bursting with flavor, and I love that they use fresh ingredients. The ambiance is always warm and inviting, and it feels like a great place to unwind after a long day. However, my last visit had some issues with service timing, as my drink took quite a while to arrive. Nevertheless, the food is consistently excellent. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I came in for a quick lunch, and the service was prompt. I ordered the chicken tacos, which were served with fresh salsa and creamy avocado. The flavors were on point, and the portion size was generous for the price. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing with unique decor throughout, creating a great vibe. Will definitely return to try more dishes. Highly recommend their house margaritas too! " (*Curated Review*)

" The nachos were delicious! Definitely one of my favorite dishes here. The cheese sauce is the real deal—so creamy and rich. However, my main course was rather bland. The environment was nice and cozy, which made for a pleasant dining experience despite the food setbacks. I would give it another shot, as they may have just had an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although my experience was mixed, I can appreciate what El Jimador offers. The atmosphere was bright and lively, which I enjoyed. The food was hit or miss—I ordered the steak and found it a little chewy, but the sides of rice and beans were fantastic, making up for the main dish somewhat. The service was very friendly and quick, but I wasn't overly impressed with my meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)
