This is one of those restaurants you will miss when you move. I have been trying for a month to find a decent Mexican restaurant in my new area and nothing comes close. Amazing food at $15 a plate is a rare combination, coupled with near instant service, whoever is running this place is a genius. I cannot possibly recommend the Special Cielinto Lindo highly enough, ive never even seen that at another restaurant!

I attended El Jimador with a group of friends and was able to get a table right away. Staff was friendly and prompt while getting us our food and drinks. Friends and I enjoyed their street tacos which I highly recommend, guac, and pina coladas! We were also celebrating a birthday and they came out with a delicious ice cream dessert, sang and placed a sombrero on our friends head! Popular place to be! Would go back!
