I recently wanted Mexican and after doing a search on Yelp came across this place. Immediately upon pulling up you notice the place is very dark and you almost can't tell if they open. Upon entry we waited for a hostess who never greeted us and just grabbed menus and started walking to a table. Once there she just sat them down and walked off. She returned and we ordered 1 drink. After her barely speaking or acknowledging us, we decided to pay for the 1 drink and take our money elsewhere. Even when we said we weren't staying for food, she appeared to have an attitude and when she bought the check she just walked off. I will not return. read more

El Ximador - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Georgia

Great food, awesome service! We usually grab it to-go on busy nights and we have never been disappointed! The couple times we have dined-in we had a great time both indoor and outdoor seated. read more

We came here because we had heard all the high praise, maybe that made us have too high of expectations but, all in all it was pretty mediocre food. Service was so dull, it was as if they could've not cared less if we were there or not. I see no reason to go back , way too many other Mexican food choices in this area. read more

New restaurants sometime bring out the curious side of hungry people. Such was the case when my daughter and grandson got a craving for Mexican cuisine recently. Having been doing business in Springfield for a couple of years,we naturally noticed when this new place was built and opened recently. Early reviews were so good that many reported eating here days in a row! Such was the quality and variety of items. My daughter beat me to be first to taste the dishes. But...she remembered to bring me a tantalizing taste of what's in store there! I received two enchiladas to go. This review is based upon my personal experience with that dish. And what an introduction! Flavor-filled and tasting like it came from a caring kitchen, these were the best of my Mexican food experience, one that dates back to 1976, and includes having tasted this cuisine in Mexico as we as all over the US. These enchiladas, although to go, arrived hot, beautiful and beautiful. The cheese was not average but full flavored an with strands that pulled like taffy when you brought a piece to your mouth. The beef gravy was thick and rich, pooled around the enchiladas just so. I believe the corn tortillas forming them tasted close to home made. I didn't taste the salsa myself but was told it too, was different and unique and tasted as if it too was house prepared. Soon, I'll go for a far greater immersion in menu items as this newcomer deserves close examination by all who love well prepared Mexican food items. You'll have many to choose from! read more

El Ximador - Enchiladas with three exclamation points. - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Georgia

I was in the mood for Mexican food and thought that I would try this new place out! I decided to order takeout and when I arrived my food was ready! The inside is small but they have tables and a full bar. I was helped immediately and given my food quickly. The queso was good! The fajitas was a mixture of shrimp, steak and chicken and it did not have that much flavor. It was just a little flavorless. The beans, rice, pico de gallo, lettuce and sour cream were good. I may come in and try another dish or eat at the restaurant to have a better experience. read more

This is a hidden gem in Springfield. Food is always delicious and fresh. Fajitas and shrimp tacos are our favorites. It gets busy at lunch, but you can get in and out quickly. Full bar is available with lots of options, too. Try a raspberry margarita. You won't be disappointed! read more

This was our first visit since this location opened. Outstanding! When we drove up it was packed and debated on even trying due to the thought of a long wait time. Thankfully we did go in! We were seated immediately. They took our drink orders and brought out a fresh basket of chips, piping hot and incredibly yummy. As we waited I was incredibly impressed by the efficiency of the staff. There was almost zero wait time in between tables as they were bussed immediately. I was incredibly excited to see they had lengua tacos on the menu! They were super flavorful and tender. I'm so happy I finally have a place to get my lengua fix!!! My husband ordered the beef fajitas which were honestly pretty epic! I'm excited to try other items as we all agreed we will be regular customers. read more

Food quality and drink quality was great. Food service was a little slow but that is also due to how popular this restaurant already is even though it just opened. The staff was friendly and the decor is exactly what you would expect from authentic Mexican. read more

El Ximador - Delicious - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Georgia

Stopped in for a quick bite after a track meet. The outside made me question the reviews. The food was great. The service was awesome. The food doesn't come out as fast as other similar places but who cares if it's great?!? read more

The food is pretty good, but be careful when it comes to billing. I ordered the shrimp al ajo and they brought me shrimp jalisco instead. I assumed the waitress had misunderstood my order since they sound similar and the jalisco looked really good so I decided to just eat it instead, assuming that was what I would be charged for. A few minutes later a guy from the kitchen brings out the correct entree, sets it down and says "sorry". I said, "So I get them both?" He didn't react and walked away. So we start dividing up the extra food amongst ourselves and then the waitress comes over and says "I know it's his mistake, but you will have to pay for both entrees." I explained that I knew the order was wrong but decided to eat it anyway, not knowing that they were going to bring the correct entree. She said, "but you want both, right?" I said I guess we have to now because we have eaten half the food. We decided not to make a scene and go ahead and pay for both, but I have never had a restaurant do this to me before. When they bring the wrong item by mistake, they usually say "that's OK, keep it" and bring you the correct item at no charge. If they intended to charge me for both, they should have said so when they brought the 2nd entree and given me a chance to refuse it. If they can't afford to absorb the occasional mistake like this, maybe they shouldn't be in business. read more

It's still a stand out restaurant. The food is always good. The price is right. The service is exceptional. My wife and I always enjoy eating there and I do recommend! read more

Went here yesterday for the first time. Are on the covered patio area - very nice. Wait service was good, but kitchen service was on the slow side. Understand they just recently opened and are learning, so I will allow for that. Food was pretty good, comparable to the other Mexican restaurants in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed the tamales, which came in a corn husk - not seen anywhere else in the area. We will definitely be back, hoping the kitchen service steps up. read more

We came in last Friday at 928pm and they were super friendly and sat us even though they close at 10pm. We recently moved to the area and have been on the hunt for great Mexican food - I think we have found our new favorite spot. The house margarita is good and strong especially for a 'house' - the queso dip is delicious and the salsa seems house made and spicy, which as a Texas native, I love! I ordered the Arroz Xalisco which is everything you would love about nachos without the chips and it was phenomenal. My husband got the chimichanga -he said it was great; he would have loved more queso on top but other than that, it was fried to perfection and delicious. The restaurant is clean, staff is super friendly and attentive, and we can't wait to try more items from their menu. read more

The food is very good, service is good, and the atmosphere is nice, but the dining room can get loud when crowded. I think it's the best restaurant in Springfield. read more

Definitely the best Mexican restaurant in the area. The food was amazing, the inside is clean and welcoming. There is a huge outdoor seating area and it is beautiful!!! Can't wait until the weather breaks to enjoy their delicious Margaritas out there. The servers were attentive and entertaining. Definitely recommend! read more

They have a great food and service. They also don't water down their drinks so that's a plus.

Springfield now has 3 Mexican restaurants. This is by far the third best. The portions are unnecessarily small. The service was poor. There were 4 waitresses and 7 tables and I had to wait for the waitress to quit talking among themselves to get and service or drink refills. If you are looking for a bar than this is your place. If you are hungry go else. We left hungry and regretting our visit. read more

The food I got was really delicious. Good size portions I ended up taking a lot home which I had for dinner. Definitely go there again.

My wife and I get their Tamales there every Tuesday. In fact we started to call Tuesdays, Tamale Tuesday because El Ximador delivers consistency every time. The atmosphere is very homey. Very cozy and very friendly. read more

Okay so this place is awesome. Best Mexican place in Springfield. Lilliana, the owner, is so friendly and you can tell they put a lot of work into the place. You can tell they really take pride in the food they cook. I highly recommend the Birria quesadillas. All in all this place puts out great food and a great atmosphere. If you're looking for a great place to take your family for some great authentic Mexican food in Springfield, then El Ximador is the place to go! read more

Burrito was very good with lots of white meat chicken. Great sauce. Service was friendly and prompt.

So glad they finally opened. Food is delicious and customer service on point. Wish the dining room was bigger.

Ordered a Texas fajita and a a side of guacamole and chips. The guacamole was turning brown - as it was busy I would have expected the guacamole to be fresh. The fajita was small in portion size and not worth the money. It came with 3 tortillas and a side of salad. The salad had a teaspoon of cheese, a teaspoon of sour cream and a tablespoon of lettuce. I should have taken a picture of it. Really was hoping for more as the atmosphere seemed nice. But with this being the 3rd restaurant with the same menu selection as others near by it isn't worth the visit. If I want food and great service I will stay with going to a different restaurant closer in town. read more
