    Shrimp Enchiladas
    James F.

    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.

    4 enchiladas, rice, beans, salad, guacamole and sour cream.

    The service- by Guadalupe - was wonderful. She was pleasant, always at the ready without being a nuisance. The food was delicious.

    Tried this for a lunch place, in part from fellow Yelper reviews (haven't been steered wrong yet,…read morethanks Shannon G!) Service and quality of food were great, better than most places we've tried. Our server stayed on top of things, even as the lunch rush started. The menu has several unique offerings, and lots of options depending on how much you want to eat. (One mistake - we both ordered a cup of tortilla soup, and were surprised at how much we got with that! Some rice, pico, sliced avocado, tortilla strips, it would have made a complete light lunch by itself. So we were full by the time the main plates arrived). I got the Super Tucan combination plate (taco/enchilada/flauta, w/beans and rice), and the Hop Queen got the Chimichanga. Both were very generous portions of tasty, fresh food, nothing tasted like it had been sitting. With the tortilla soup, this pretty much would have fed us the rest of the day. Plenty of seating, also tables outside. Downtown has lots of parking on the street. Highly recommended!

    Being a tourist sure does make you hungry…read more First I want to say how wonderful everyone was. A cheerful greeting when I walked in. I sat at my table and immediately someone came around the corner with chips and salsa. Someone else came and asked if I wanted to order a drink. Uhh, ya I do. I ordered a peach daiquiri. So girly I know. Peach daiquiri came with whipped cream and a cherry. Was a great peach flavor. Loved it. Chips and salsa were great. . The chips are thin, warm, and lightly salted. The salsa was a mild spice. Enjoyable. I ordered the shrimp tacos. Comes with 2 street tacos and double the tortillas on each. Purple cabbage, cilantro, tender shrimp. I liked the sauce they had on the side. Also had black beans and rice. The whole meal was pretty filling. Service was pretty fast. The drink came quick. The meal itself was quick. The chips and salsa came like seconds when I sat down. They also have outside seating as well. Although it was warming up, I wanted to be inside. There's a small free parking lot kitty corner to the restaurant. Also free street parking too. Everything was great. And would love to come here again next time I visit Marble Falls.

Again, the reason I gave 4 forks rating is that they really need to get a liquor license to service beer, wine, and especially margaritas. Their food is too good to not have this.

    Came here on the recommendation from a friend who said it was the "best" Mexican food they have…read moreever had. I don't live close, so it was a bit of a drive to try this place out. The parking seemed to be pretty full but I was still able to find a spot. I was seated immediately even though they were pretty full. I will say they are very clean and the staff is very friendly/attentive. The chips and salsa come out pretty quick. The chips are just okay; taste more store bought than anything else. I am used to chips that are a little saltier. I know I can add salt, but it isn't the same as putting salt right after they come out the the fryer. The salsa is really just a red sauce. It is a bit spicy but not like having a good salsa. Checking the photos, the "Flag Plate" seemed to be a good idea. It's three different enchiladas with rice and beans. And when they say "hot plate" you really need to heed that warning. I don't think my plate ever cooled to a point where I could touch it with my bare hand. But this I did appreciate. Most places, the plate goes cold so quick and the food does as well. For the Flag Plate, one enchilada is cheese, another is a sour cream chicken and the third is "Beef Spanish" whatever that means. I tried the beef and chicken and really wasn't impressed so I just ate the cheese. But speaking of cheese, there certainly is no shortage of that for the entire dish. I'm not not used to enchiladas with the amount of the cheese that goes into theirs. When I have had chicken enchiladas, all my life it has been shredded chicken in a red sauce. This was chunky chicken and some sour cream sauce and again, the heaps of cheese. I was disappointed to find out when I arrived that they are "cash only" and did not see that before. I see now some people did comment on that, but it very rare to encounter a place that is only cash. They do have an ATM inside, but of course, you have to pay a service charge for using the ATM. All in all, it was almost $30 for one person with no drinks (I only had water). For that price and being forced to pay using an ATM I would not come back here. Even had I known the cash only policy up front, I prefer to pay with a card. Less hassle than carrying cash and if you have a card that awards miles or rewards, it's always nicer to use the card. The food was okay but nothing I would go out of my way to eat as I did.

My mother in law used to tell me if it looked like it was…read moregoing to be shit down soon it's gonna be good... she hit the mark with that statement on this one! For sure. Let me begin by saying that I truly believe those of you who say this place is not good either just want free food, or you're tastebuds are not werkin'! The flavor in everything.... We had the menudo, the burrito con steak plate, and the beef enchiladas... to drink we got a pina. The flavor in all of it was superb... I mean it was giving me a food orgasm the entire time! I wish I would have taken pics, but alas, I did not. This is one of the most authentic Mexican spots I've ever had, and we have had a lot. If you aren't the type who likes, or can handle, for that matter, seasoning and flavor, stay away! The service of the guys that work here was also just as good. No doubt we will return!! Probably tomorrow... haha.

The green posole was just the right amount of heat with the fixens (cabbage, lime, onion, etc.), was delicious. Ordered the flautas and that was amazing-6 chicken filled flautas with lettuce/cheese on top. 2 types of salsa to pick from-red and green. Service was good. Have no complaints other than why didn't I try them sooner? Very good and authentic food for this area.
