The chips are made fresh in house so they come out hot with a salsa and cabbage sauce. So are the corn tortillas which went well with the queso fundido. I also enjoyed the enchiladas de camaron, and my wife liked the pollo jalisco. The staff were friendly and service was pretty quick for a Friday night. read more

I have this affinity for small family Mexican Restaurants. Los Jimadores fits that bill. Firstly, the waitress we had was very friendly and delightful. When I asked her for opinion for the Birria tacos vs. the Sonoran Tacos, she said I picked to the two favorite things not the menu and she couldn't decide. But I am getting ahead of myself. Firstly, the chips and salsa. They really set the mood for the meal, although not having them is something I can live with if the meal is extraordinary. Los Jimadores has chips and salsa - and they add a kicker. Mexican slaw. A vinegar based slaw with a spicy kick. This was one of the better ones I had. The salsa was good and chunky, but we agreed it was a little sweet. The chips are the flaky crispy kind. We also ordered the house margarita. I was prepared to be disappointed because their drink menu was filled with those sugary 'tropical' drinks that were more popular 15 years ago. Their tequila menu is a bit lacking. But the house margarita was good, not too sweet and had that familiar feeling. I decided on the Sonoran Tacos. They had strip steak, a roasted Anaheim Pepper and a grilled Mexican cheese. They also came with a very good, very spicy salsa. The roasted peppers and the salsa made this dish. My wife had the carnitas, because she has been on a carnitas kick as of late. They were moist and crispy on the outside with a good green chili on top. If I had to find fault, it would the salsa with the chips and the tequila selection. The salsa with the Sonoran Tacos was fabulous - but I get that there is probably a cost difference. And the menu is a bit long. But if I am in the area, I will be back. And I will order the Birria Tacos. They looked really good being brought to a table next to ours. read more

Friends took us to Los Jimadores this past Sunday and wasn't disappointed. Some people might call this place a hole in the wall, but if it is the food is still very good. If you're looking for something fancy this isn't it. A good meal is what you get here. The shrimp tacos were really good on homemade flour tortillas. My dining companions all took their meals home since it was so much food on the plate. The meals were packed with flavor. The margaritas were really good and if you have two make sure you have a driver that's not drinking. My final comment is regarding the service. Pamela (Pam) was our waitress. She alone is a reason to come to Los Jimadores. She's a super waitress and full of sass in a good way! read more

Loved this place had a great mariachi plate and shrimp cocktail the food was a cheaper place with exceptional food the shrimp cocktail was a little more spicy than it sounded but it was overall a delightful experience read more

The second I walked in the door I knew this was the place to be! The restaurant was very busy for being so early in the evening. We were quickly greeted by a very friendly hostess, and we were seated promptly. Our waitress was very attentive, and she always had a smile on her face. Now, for the food part... The menu reads like a novel; it has absolutely everything imaginable. Fresh tortilla chips, salsa, and a Mexican slaw were placed on the table. We ordered house margaritas which were on point, and they were huge! The main courses were beyond plentiful and exploded with flavor. There were three of us dining, and we ordered: chicken quesadilla, chile relleno, platter, and carnitas platter. UNREAL! Can't wait to return!!! read more

My First Visit Here, I Dined Inside. Me & My Husband Were Disappointed at How Long it Took The Waitress To Attend To Us. We Were In The Center of The Restaurant, You Couldn't Miss Us. What Made Us More Disappointed Was How Disgusting The Oysters Were. They Were Not Throughly Cleaned & Full Of Dirt/Rocks. That Was it For Us. But, Several Years Later, We Decided To Give Them Another Shot. We Ordered To-Go on a Sunday During Lunch Hours. Food Was Good Although They Messed Up On One of the Orders. I Was Disappointed Once Again Once I Looked at the Receipt & Realized They Don't Give Lunch Hour Prices on Weekends. What The? That is Absolutely Absurd. Never Coming Here Again. read more

First time at this place and it was pretty empty for a Friday night I understand being understaffed and being busy but they weren't so I was confused a little on why our service was slow the waitress seemed kinda annoyed taking our order. The food on the other hand was delicious props to the cook! The water was nasty. But the pepino margarita I got was good my friend got a mojito and it was good as well! read more

I love this place. The food is good and it's VERY affordable. The staff greets you promptly and are always kind and accommodating.

The food was really good. It's an old building and could use some updates. The service was just ok.

The beans are not good here and taste like they come from a can. I had the mole enchiladas with chicken and they are good. The rice is good and the service was good read more

I found this place by driving around the area couple of times and was blown how much traffic it gets. Finally decided to try it myself to see what it was about and was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. To start my fiancé and I wanted a beer but what we wanted they were out. The food was not appetizing at all, the rice looked like it was reheated, beans were dry and unsalted. The meat (shredded beef) was nothing but fat. I don't know what the hype is but this place is disgusting. My fiancé ordered ceviche, the shrimp had pieces of peel on it and he had to squeeze his own lime on it and seasoning on it (s&p). Don't let the 5+ reviews and traffic fool you. read more

I don't leave reviews, however when I sit down to dinner and find rodent droppings on the table you can be damn sure there will be a review. The chips were stale, the salsa was flavorless, the queso was literally melted string cheese, the food was bland and DRIPPING with oil. Definitely not worth the $75. I only gave 1 star because it won't let me give no stars. People were nice, food was horrible. read more

My family and I went here on Valentine's Day. We went a little early and were pleased to be seated right away. The food was delicious, the service was quick, our waitress was kind and we got everything just how we ordered it. The salsa was really good, with just enough spice! We will for sure be coming back to Los Jimadores soon! read more

I have been a customer of Los Jimadores for a few years and absolutely love the food and service. The limited store availability and dine in was a bummer due to COVID...but I was so happy to see them open for dine-in service a couple of weeks ago. My first visit went well...tables sectioned off for social distancing and all employees wearing masks. Also, all customers seemed to be following mask regulations by having some kind of face covering on until they were seated as well as when going to and from the bathroom. But, the second time I visited today...the rules seemed to have faded. Several groups/families were packed in the small entryway into the dining room without any masks. Parents taking their children to the restroom were without masks walking very close to the tables along the wall. A few people came to pick up take out orders...once again waiting at the door without masks. This is all next to the clearly placed "Must Wear A Mask" signage. The servers didn't seem to mind or feel the need to enforce the rules. I understand that enforcing mask rules can lead to conflict and potential issues...but we need to be following and enforcing these mandates to keep the community safe. It is a lesson learned for me that although I love dining out and enjoy the atmosphere of Los Jimadores...I might have to wait until there is a vaccine or the servers start taking the mandate seriously/refuse service to those that cannot wear a mask when entering. This isn't a knock against the service or quality of the food...I just think it is unsafe to dine in at this restaurant. Especially those that might be particularly at risk for COVID 19. read more

This restaurant in Brighton, CO on 4th street was terrific!! The grown up beverages were strong and delicious, and the food was absolutely delightful! I have been searching for a stellar Chile verde and I have finally found it! The ground beef chili rellenos were awesome. Plus our waitress was a pleasure to talk to. We won't go anywhere else but here for Mexican food from now on! read more

Probably one of the best Mexican restaurants in Brighton. Good food, large portions, great service. Always a treat!

Great service, margaritas to go = really good. Ordered shrimp ceviche, taquitos, and steak nachos. Food was ok, needed more seasoning. The salsa however top notch. I actually ate the entire container by myself! Looking forward to having the margaritas and chips/salsa again. read more

Craving some good Mexican food, we decided to try this as it had decent reviews. The service was great but the food was just meh. The beans were flavorless and a little cold. The salsa was predominantly cilantro flavored but that's it. I ordered the Carne a la tampiqueña and it was thoroughly underwhelming. The steak was basically a chewy flavorless thinly sliced cheap cut of meat. The rice was decent and the chicken flauta was tasty. The cheese enchilada was completely bland and undercooked. My daughter had the tacos Rancheros and they were tasty. Nothing here to bring us back. read more

Really good margaritas! The mango chamoy margarita is fantastic and quite possibly the best margarita I've ever had. The food was also really good. Homemade tortillas on Friday-Sunday and they are absolutely delicious. Overall a nice restarting with quality food for a decent price. read more

Los Jimadores is a Great place with delicious meals. The staff is always friendly and good service. We always stop here when in Brighton.

The food is awesome, the restaurant is a little rundown, but it was clean. Our server was great too.

fue una experiencia horrible, pésima comida, y el cóctel de camarón estaba espantoso

Had the most delicious carnitas I've had in a long time. They were perfectly prepared, and the portion was quite large. Maria was our server and was very attentive, and took very good care of us. Even the iced tea was delicious. You should really check this place out. It is worth it! read more

Los Jimadores - Shrimp Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

I met a friend here for lunch yesterday. The restaurant has a very large interior with typical Mexican restaurant decor. I was greeted and seated promptly. Chips, salsa and a relish were brought out right away. When my friend arrived, we each ordered a mojito. They were very bitter, even with the sugar around the rim. My friend ended up sending hers back and getting a margarita. I ordered the chicken molè off of the lunch menu ($7.50) with rice and beans. She ordered shrimp tacos off of the dinner menu ($15). The food was very good. I ended up asking for a box, because the portions were substantial. The waitress delivered our ticket. We sat for at least 20 minutes, trying to attract her attention after that, but she just passed by us. Even though it was approaching 2 pm, the restaurant had become very busy and she and the host seemed to be the only employees there. Finally, I got her to take our bill and card and we were able to leave. Good food. There is a parking lot, but it is small. Plenty of street parking. Good lunch specials. My monitors and entree set me back $15, exactly. Ordering from the main menu is slightly more expensive. Full bar. Good for groups. read more

This restaurant was an awful Italian place back when I moved to Brighton in 2003. I think the bad taste left in my mouth from the Italian restaurant kept me from trying El Jimador when it moved into the space a few years later. The store has since evolved into Los Jimadores. The food: The chips are always served warm with cold salsa and another cabbage/jalepeno salsa that's pretty good. I've had the fajitas and Mexican Paella which are both very good, althought he fajitas are a bit light on the meat portion. The guacamole is served fresh. On the weekends, Los Jimadores makes fresh-made corn tortillas - they're delicious! I've not tried the desserts but they have a good selection at very reasonable prices. The service: The service is friendly, but a little slow sometimes. The price: Competive to lower than other Mexican places in the area. My verdict: Los Jimadores has taken the lead as the best sit-down Mexican restaurant in Brighton. read more

This is great Mexican food in Brighton! Good prices on pretty authentic food. The seafood (mariscos) here are great. The salsas are incredible! Mole is decent for America. The wait staff is normally pretty amazing and friendly (Thanks Pamela!) The parking is a little awkward. Fresh made tortillas and empanadas on the weekend along with a fresh mocajete salsa! Great Mexican beers and cocktails. We usually stop here once a week. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for many years and finally leaving a review. This is honestly one of my favorite places to get Mexican food! My top pick is the Carnitas, huge portion smothered with green chili, rice & beans, and fresh tortillas. The staff are all hard working and provide excellent service. Love supporting local quality establishments! read more

This is a well run traditional Mexican restaurant. On arrival you pass a lady making fresh tortillas for each patron in the restaurant. The restaurant has the feel of a joyous family run operation. Each table gets fresh tortilla chips, fresh tortillas, salsa, and two small bowls of amazing vegetable/pepper based option is to use with chips. The food service is amazingly fast and the portions are very large. You can tell that this is a well respected favorite location for the Latino population in the area. It is certainly the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. The prices are amazingly reasonable. Many of the selections are 8 to 9 $. read more
