Food came out fast and hot. I thought it was pretty good. The green sauce was way better than the red. The chips were thick but ok. I got the chili rellano stuffed with chicken it came with one enchilada rice and beans. The tortillas were homemade and wonderful. The inside was nearly renovated and nice. I would come here again. read more

This is the second time in a row my family and friends wanted to go to El jimador, it is also the second time I have explicitly explained that I have Celiac, asked questions, and explained everything possible. That said it is also the second time it has made sick before I even made it out of the restaurant. I do not recommend this place to anyone with a food allergy considerations or for anyone who has decent taste in food. Fifteen of ten do not recommend el jimador to anyone. read more

Parking is so easy and so close to the entrance! The service is fast and the food as well! I got the texas plate. Rice and enchiladas were so good the guisada as well. The ambiance/ place is small but spacious! Seating is great and I loved it! read more

We love this place. I'm definitely a Mexican food snob! Highly recommend! Don't understand why anyone would give this a lower rating. Margaritas and food are ON POINT! read more

Good Presentation and quantity,,,,However taste of food was terrible! Not authentic Mexican at all, no good spices..... So called Mexican restaurant with no homemade flour or corn tortillas.... Waitress was soooo slow,,,,never came to check up on us, we had to get up several times to ask for something... Would definitely NOT RECOMMEND!! read more

Don't go there ! Worst Mexican food I have had For over 66 years thumbs down.,I ordered carne Guisada and they brought me pulled pork, it was terrible. My mother who I took out for lunch ordered enchilada's and wasn't able to eat I was so gross I don't understand other higher reviews, guess if go there your rolling the dice. read more

Met my BFF for an all important brunch catch up. Our usual place was closed so we checked out El Jimador. Fairly busy; most tables were occupied or not bussed. Had to ask for a table to be cleaned in fact so we could dine. Bartender/server was attentive; he was also the one that bussed the table. We arrive around 10am so I couldn't decide to go lunch or breakfast..why not both! Migas taco to start which was the best bites of the day at least for me. The next dish is a personal favorite if done right. My love affair with shrimp enchiladas started early in life in a now long closed Mexican Louie's in Drippin' Springs. They used ranchero with government cheese. Strange combination but it worked. Other contenders for best in the area is Mamacita's in Fredricksburg/Kerrville. That's a scampi cream sauce with cilantro added. Well, EJ's won't be adding to that dreamy creamy list. Tough tortillas! Not enough sauce and cheese; ample application would have made it a better dish. But it wasn't meant to be for this visit. Three stars for the brunch taco offering but I'd never go back for that shrimp enchilada plate. read more

El Jimador - Shrimp Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

Excellent food and prices! My husband and I had #34 on the menu. It was 4 enchiladas, (chicken, hamburger, cheese and bean), plus moist rice and great refried beans for only $9.99! Which is great with our economy right now! We also ordered cheese dip and they brought a bowl of white quaso that was super yummy! The waitress was very attentive and had our food to us very quickly. The restaurant was clean and had a bar, too. The parking lot was full of cars when we came in and when we left. You won't be disappointed with the food here and the prices are very reasonable. read more

El Jimador - 4 enchiladas, rice, beans, salad, guacamole and sour cream. - Mexican Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

While waiting for my car repairs at Colonial Auto, I was looking for a place to have coffee. After reading mixed reviews of El Jimador, I decided to give it a try; primarily due to its close proximity. I ordered the Omelette and coffee. I found the staff friendly and my coffee cup never went empty. The coffee was hot (not McDonalds hot but hot) and I enjoyed several cups. Breakfast was good and I loved the green hot sauce. More food than I could eat (that's saying something for a guy my size). I look forward to trying the lunch menu on my next visit. read more

The Diablo Shrimp salad was superb! Sooooooo yummy. Staff not overly friendly, but the salad was 2nd to none. read more

Food was fine but the chips were horrible. Thick and hard. The salsa was fantastic. I'm a thin chip gal.

good breakfast and lunch.we love the beef enchiladas they serve there.the decor is nice with plenty of room for large groups.the restroom are a little below standard.they can and should make them user friendly.Food menu are pretty clear,with lunch and breakfast item listed and priced.They also serve fish and other item for vegan.They do have a bar if you prefer something else to drink. read more

One of favorite places locally to get Mexican food. Very reasonably priced and good margaritas!

This place is as good as you can get to California mexian food. Everything from the ambiance and music to the service was amazing. The food! Wow, what can I say? I was pleasantly surprised with the food it was delicious. I'm fro. San Diego and I can say that this place hits like Cali! read more

The place is pretty good But always inconsistent with service or what we order. We use to go Weekly but our food Quality is Always different we decided to skip last few months. Hope they can be more consistent in future. read more

First time I came in, I wasn't expecting much. It's certainly not fancy but it was spotlessly clean so I decided to give it a try. For the last year, I've been eating there several times a month. The food is good. Not fancy or "gourmet" but just good basic Tex Mex. So many choices-very big menu with full meals, light entrees, and a la carte selections. I usually have a chili relleno or enchiladas. Portion sizes on the entrees are very generous. AND, this is the shocker, their Margaritas are good! They too are very generous size. A regular size one is more than enough for me. A friend ordered the large and couldn't finish it. The waiters are friendly and kept the chip basket, salsa cup and water glasses full Now the most surprising part. My regular order of a Combo Plate and a regular Margarita is about $13 every week. You can't do better price-wise anywhere else. read more

We finally found the good Mexican food in Marble falls for dinner. The gringa quesadilla was greasy and decadent, enchiladas verde on point, carne asada was a great stew. The fajita chicken was a little dry and we had beans spill liquid over one to-go plate, otherwise 6/5 Would appreciate chips & salsa with to-go read more

We are locals and really didn't give this place enough of a try when it first opened. However, we find ourselves there several times a month now for their fajitas and margaritas. The fajita meat is great, but the homemade tortillas make it even better! Parking is a pain because they are well liked, so we usually have to circle a fee times or park down the road. I also appreciate them not beating me down with covid protocols like some of the other local establishments- personal preference. read more

Fast and friendly service. A great way to start the weekend! The skillet breakfast is one of my favorites. read more

El Jimador - Skillet breakfast, fast friendly service. A great way to get the weekend started. - Mexican Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

I waited 10 fucking minutes for a damn drink I'm only giving it 1 star because I can't give it zero read more

We dine here occasionally. We like the carne guisada. All the chicken dishes are full of oregano. The salsa too. We don't care for oregano in Mexican food. We waited 20 minutes after our drink order was taken. We did get our drinks but the staff walked by our table multiple times, looked at us, and kept walking. We left. We'll never go back. Terrible customer service. read more

This family run restaurant is a great value. Because it is so popular, their service can be a bit slow on a crowded Sunday. But the food is hot fresh and tasty. It is a different flavor than most Mexican restaurants in this area. The prices are very reasonable. Have not tried takeout. But look forward to going back. As I bought a gift certificate there, I will give take out a try soon. read more

When we arrived it was Like no one saw us waiting for a table. Then after 5 minutes, they placed us in the booth, then after 5 more minutes they asked Is to move to another place, which I refused. The food took awhile. I order puffy tacos and I got what looked like fried bread tacos. Food was Ok, service is awful. Then we waited for our check. Don't know if I come back. read more

Great food great service. Getting tire changed at Discount Tire so great place to wait in the AC. Pepe was awesome.

EXACTLY what it is supposed to be. Everything on the menu is good. Had the carne guisada, steak asada, margaritas and special guacamole. Prices are more than fair. We eat here a lot and will continue to. Only minor criticism is I wish their corn tortillas were in-house made. read more

Cold beer, good food. I like the fajitas de molcajete. The seating isn't anything fancy but I think that's fine.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Terrible service had one cup of cold coffee and our waitress disappeared waiting on everyone but us. Food was cold after waiting 30 minutes for it. Just don't waste your time. read more

Love the food, Service is good most of the time. Love they have TVs and allow you to change the channel on request, so love to come during Football games. Love the set up and alway feels clean. read more

Everything was great. The atmosphere, the service, the food and the value. Fast friendly and clean.

I came in around 3 PM, not dressed nicely at all. I was glad to find a place where I could come in and dine like this. There appeared to be several tables of regular patrons. It is a cozy family restaurant with Tejano music playing. Bottom line, the frozen margarita was tasty and the daily special chicken fajitas were delicious. The queso Blanco was not on the menu but they happily served it to me when I asked. read more

We heard this restaurant has a few good food options and came highly recommended, but we wish we would've eaten elsewhere. We waited 10+ minutes for our drink order to be taken, 10+ minutes later we received our drinks, and after about 45 minutes of total wait time we received (partially) our food with no forks. We waited another 10 minutes to get forks so we could begin eating only to find our tortillas were dried out and the food was not as ordered. Service is very slow and there is a lack of communication between staff members to allow things to run smoothly in the restaurant. In addition to the slow service, stale tortillas, and lack of needed supplies, the restaurant feels to be approximately 80 degrees inside in the middle of the Texas summer. We would not visit again and recommend to others to try nearby restaurants. read more

The food is very consistent and has great flavors. The salsa and margaritas are very good! Prices are extremely reasonable. Good service. read more

We ordered takeout & the restaurant even read the order back to us. My husband drove from Buchanan to Marble Falls to pick up. The to-go boxes were counted & they were short an order. They reread it & missed the nachos. They not only got our order wrong but the food was horrible. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to Mexican food. The lettuce was wilted, like it had been frozen then thawed. The beans & rice were bland. The supreme nachos were dry, like they threw lettuce & chunks of cheese on some chips with very little meat. The burrito meat was dry & overcooked. We ordered 2 Durango Chicken with Cheese & Shrimp & got some kind of fatty meat mixture. See photo. The taco salad shell was burnt & tasteless. It was too late & too far to return this order. Will not eat here again. read more

El Jimador - Mexican Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

See all

Coffee poured all over the table and waitress walks away and says sorry. I go get my own clean coffee mug. No silverware. Go get my own. Ordered no cheese and cheese all over everything. Food is bland and unremarkable. read more

My daughter, grandson and I met in Marble Falls for lunch, she's eaten here 3 times this week and highly recommended..I agree! She had cheese enchiladas, he had enchiladas supreme and I had a chili rellano and a puffy taco and we all shared a small bowl of their cheese dip.. delicious.. only complaint and being knocked a point was the ridiculously long wait to pay..took forever for a guy to finally come take payments..but will be back!! read more

3 stars for the win. This place is way better then 3 stars. The salsa tells you all you need to know about the rest of the menu. Highly recommend. read more

My favorite Mexican place in marble falls. Always good very consistent. I have liked everything I have tried. Fast service. Clean and abiding by the COVID restrictions. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Was my 1st & LAST TIME at this place. Had to ask for chips & hot sauce AFTER meal arrived. Again, AFTER meal arrived had to ask if I could please have 1 corn tortilla. More waiting. Drink was HOT, didn't dare ask for ice, I'd still be there Took forever for someone to pay. NOT a pleasant dining experience to say the least. Food was NOT exceptional, worst dining experience. Really wish I would NOT have tipped. BETTER yet, wish I would have left the penny their service merited. read more

Fabulous array of items on menu, but you have to try the homemade puffy taco. Ig has so much corn flavor married with the beef, lettuce and tomato. Crunchy, yet tender inside. Super friendly and humble staff. FULL bar for excellent margaritas! read more

Food is good but the customer service is terrible, this is our go to spot and we've never had a server so disrespectful . From the moment we sat down she gave us attitude the whole entire time . Maybe we will have better luck next time ... very disappointed. read more
