" Finally got to try El Jimador, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Chicken Fajitas, and they were sizzling hot and seasoned to perfection. I was impressed by the speed of service, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance really set the mood for a great dining experience. Truly a fantastic spot for good eats in Hot Springs Village! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to El Jimador for months now, and each visit has been better than the last! From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with warm smiles. I usually order the Birria tacos, and they are packed with flavor—definitely some of the best I've ever had, and I've tried these in many places. I also love the fresh salsa they serve with their chips, always a fantastic start to the meal. The ambiance is lively yet cozy, making it perfect for both family dinners and date nights. Highly recommend if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I left El Jimador feeling disappointed. While the atmosphere was nice, the food was definitely not authentic. I ordered the enchiladas, and they tasted more like cafeteria food than anything you'd find in a real Mexican restaurant. The server was friendly but the food just lacked any real flavor, making it an average experience at best. I'm sad to give it a low score, as I've heard so much about this place.

" Had a birthday dinner here and was thrilled with the experience! The atmosphere was festive, perfect for celebrating. The food was very tasty—the shrimp tacos were a hit! Our server was efficient and ensured that our drinks were never empty. I was pleasantly surprised by the value for dinner as well. Will definitely recommend El Jimador to others!

" El Jimador – a staple in the community! I must say, I appreciate their traditional recipes. The flavors come through noticeably in every bite. Last time, I tried their shrimp soup, and I can't rave enough about its heartiness and taste. I recommend pairing it with a good margarita for the complete experience. Can't wait to try more from the menu! " (*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*)
