Outside entrance.

Worst food I've had in a long time. We decided to eat here on a Thursday night because we wanted some Mexican food. All I can say is the food was so bad, like worse than Taco Bell bad. We ordered fajitas for two, and two kids quesadillas. The food lacked taste/flavor and the beans were almost the color of hummus. The guacamole had nothing in it, no cilantro, no onions, no salt no pepper. It was just horrible. And the really sad part is it cost $82.00. After leaving a tip we paid for the worst $100 meal I've ever had. Will never dine here again and if you choose to eat here...you were warned.

Does not taste authentic or flavorful. Salsa is awful and warm.

We've tried and tried and tried to give them a chance, they just don't care. American cheese, stingy toppings, slow service, frivolous charges, will have at least three people servicing you because the waitress is inconsistencies or doesn't understand you. Then you get the mean one who rushes you, pretends to understand and brings back exactly what you don't want. I hate the food snd the atmosphere.

Excellent staff and shrimp tacos. Love the salsa and guacamole. I ate it and forgot to take a picture. Next time. This is our second time here. Absolutely m favorite spot.

Menu and delicious cheese enchiladas

Cute Mexican theme with lots of outdoor seating...so important right now Service is excellent from hostess to waiter food was very good, cheese enchiladas...no meat in the sauce...important if you are a non meat eater...fajita's were excellent! Oh my, so happy that we ordered margaritas! Excellent! Prices are reasonable...clean and inviting We will definitely return

The enchilada trio.
Kristin R.

I went to El Jimador because a friend had mentioned it was good. However, I wasn't impressed. I ordered the enchilada trio so I could try multiple things. All three of the enchiladas lacked flavor. I wouldn't order any of them again. The salsa that was brought to the table was also very tomato heavy without much other flavor or heat. We also ordered queso which was just okay. It came with a side of jalapeños, carrots, and onions that weren't even mild in flavor. I wouldn't go back.

It's very hard trying to find a good restaurant in the Humble/Huffman area, there are not many restaurants that I care for the food. My best friend and I decided to give El Jimador a try and was not disappointed. Now I visit regularly with my bestie and/or husband. My go to dish is the Camarones A La Plancha. I have tried the Spinach Enchiladas, Beef Enchiladas & the Filete And Veggies all delicious. Today I decide to try the Mojarra Frita and it was good also, maybe a lil more seasoning could be used but nothing to complain about. The margaritas are so good!! The lime, raspberry & strawberry are all great choices. The staff is friendly and stay on top of things so that's a plus as well. Major points for having a patio area!

I have been here multiple times. Always good food, reasonable prices. Very accommodating. Imo this is the best Mexican Restaurant near intersection of 1960 & W. Lake Parkway/ Lake Houston/Kingwood area; IF u dont want to wait 1 hour for Fajitas at Lupe Tortillas. Also, price wise El Jimador is not nearly as expensive or crowded as Lupes Tortillas. So, if looking for great alternative, at great price, check it out. Great for kids too, as in they are very patient and accommodating. Gave it 4 stars for doing allot with what they provide. And margaritas are good too!!!

Summer plate. They make the best crunchy tacos.
Natalia A.

I'm definitely considered "a regular" here at this restaurant and eat here usually at least once a week. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. The waitstaff is awesome and I love their food. Drinks are great...service is fast... They have the best crispy tacos I've ever had at a restaurant. Their deluxe fajitas are delicious, though I wish they would put more mushrooms in them. I've had many things on the menu and enjoyed everything.

Food was not good at all. Chicken was way overcooked. Spicy beef fajitas had no flavor and no seasoning. Will not return.

We went to a geocaching event in Humble, did some more geocaching in the area, and as we were…read moredriving home, found we were hungry. About five minutes before we passed Sabino's, I opened the app and saw the reviews. Great timing! We entered, and there was a customer standing in the front. We asked her if Sabino's was good and she began to rave about their food! She was right! Firstly, the service was extraordinary. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. We ordered mixed fajitas for two. Yummy! Hot, seasoned well, and the tortillas...amazing. The guacamole was SO GOOD, I thought about ordering some to take home, but we live two hours away. We have a ton of leftovers, which I'm probably going to break out around midnight. Don't sleep on this place! We'll be back!

Stopped in for the first time today to eat and support this local restaurant after seeing locals…read moreshare that the business could use some community support. It's located right off 1960, which is currently under construction, but it's definitely worth the stop! Satisfactory food, friendly service, and it feels good to help a local spot during a tough time. It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Sabino, also they have ample seating to compliment large parties inside & outside. Do not let the construction detour you. Stop by & give them a try #SUPPORT your local business owners.

We ordered pupusas, barbacoa, and a burrito. The pupusas were AMAZING (we got the kids' one), and they came with rice and beans that were also really good. The barbacoa came with two tortillas and was flavorful without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated since I'm not a fan of sweet barbacoa. My mom had the burrito and felt it could've had more flavor, but overall the food was still solid. The staff was super friendly, the bathrooms were clean and nice, and it was a comfortable spot to grab lunch. Definitely a great place to stop if you're hungry and want a satisfying, casual meal. Would come back again!

Waited about 15 minutes for Freshly made pupusas that come with tasty curtido and salsa, included. ( bean and cheese), and an order of platanos fritos that came with black beans and crema; portions large enough to share. The pupusa is one of the largest I have gotten, and the consistency and flavor were exactly the way I remember them from my time in El Salvador; authentic and delicious. Cost was $20 total, but would easily have fed two, and I have enough leftover for lunch, tomorrow, so a good value, for good food! Don't miss this spot; they have juices, and bottled and canned drinks, too. Will surely be back to enjoy more good food from their menu!

Serving tacos in the Humble TX area since 2022, Nando's Tacos (not to be confused with the chicken…read morerestaurant) serves up delicious full size tacos. My brother and I stopped in for carryout breakfast tacos on a Sunday morning. Alas, they didn't have brisket breakfast tacos, but had some good alternatives. Their flour tortilla is the choice here, and I believe it is Sonoran style: good enough to just eat by itself. My absolute favorite was the barbacoa ($3.25), very tender stewed beef with added onion and cilantro...not meant to be a breakfast taco I think. The other 3 tacos I tried did have egg. The potato & egg ($3.25) had big chunks of potato and plenty of egg: very filling not particularly tasty. The chorizo and egg ($3.25) was was prepared together, with the small chorizo pieces mixed in with the egg. And the fajita and egg ($4.79) used two slices of skirt steak flavored with fajita flavoring...for my preference, works better in skillet fajitas than in a breakfast taco. They also have menudo on the weekends, and both their corn and flour tortillas are homemade. As mentioned before, the flour tortillas are really good, and the barbacoa is definitely worth a visit.

Nando's Tacos is truly a hidden gem, quaint, homely, and full of heart. We stopped by on a cooler…read moremorning and grabbed a table outside, which made the whole experience feel even more cozy and welcoming. Between the family, we tried the barbacoa, chicharron, chicken fajita, and a fajita quesadilla. The fresh homemade tortillas really make a difference in every bite. I'd read reviews mentioning they were huge, but honestly, I didn't find them particularly oversized. Not a complaint at all, just not what I expected going in! My daughter loved her quesadilla and especially the cheese pull, which passed her personal "cheese test" with flying colors. The chicharron in salsa verde was a standout for me, perfectly seasoned, with no need for extra salt or salsa. Personally, I'd ask for the onion to be chopped just a bit smaller but that really is the only "complaint" I have. I also ordered the charro beans based on earlier reviews, and they were every bit as flavorful as promised. I'm already looking forward to trying their fresh-squeezed orange juice on our next visit. The staff was wonderfully welcoming from start to finish, and my husband, who went in with low expectations, was blown away by how delicious everything was. We're both so glad we gave this place a try. If you're looking for comforting, well-seasoned food in a warm, inviting setting, Nando's Tacos is absolutely worth the visit.
