Granted I'm a Mexican Food aficionado, so I am probably not an impartial reviewer. Being from…read moreTexas (Tex-Mex country), living in California and traveling to Mexico often, I am definitely picky about my Mexican food. El Jinete is a side of the highway joint in Cumberland, Virginia...and being that it is not bad. Good chips, yes. Good salsa, ok but cold. They would do better to warm it a bit. Good refried beans and Spanish rice, yes. Good beef fajita meat, big NO. Over cooked and dry. Chicken quesadilla, ok, but not outstanding. Service was great and prices were low. Place was clean and not crowded. Since there are not a lot of options in the area it was good enough to get us by. In the future, we will drive a bit further for a better meal. Take away...go vegetarian and have bean and rice tacos!!

We made our way to El Mariachi for an early dinner. My squad and I had been hiking all day and had…read morea king's thirst. Luckily the big beers were flowing and that turned out to be the exact remedy we needed. The chips and salsa were superb and it was clear the salsa was freshly made. Our meals were delivered all at once which is always convenient. There is really nothing like that fajita sizzle sound getting closer and closer to your table then placed right before you. Personally I opted for the fajita quesadillas, which I found to be a tasty blend of all the good things I love about fajitas placed in a crispy tortilla. The portions were generous and we were able to replace those calories we burned on the hike in a most delicious way. Don't sleep on the gift shop section of the restaurant either, we found some very interesting items including a sweet blue alpaca cardigan that was very well made. We will be back.
