    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.

    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.

    Skillet breakfast, fast friendly service. A great way to get the weekend started.

    See all

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

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

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

    The gringa quesadilla was greasy and decadent, enchiladas verde on point, carne asada was a great stew.
