El Jimador Mexican Restaurant - (Near Dahlonega, GA)

1 /5 Chris Hill: Have lived in Dahlonega for a while. The food here has never impressed. Service is worse. Honestly havent ordered food from here in well over a year. My daughter suggested we give it a shot. Nope. Same ol garbage. Just had my daughter return home with less than half our meal. After almost an hour of being ignored, she finally received the remainder of the order w/o an apology or refund. She was told she could come back tomorrow for a refund b/c they didnt currently have a way to void the sale. If there is a f/u post tomorrow you will know how the refund part went. Should all be a simple process. Unfortunate. Lesson reiterated tonight. Spend the extra money and go to Hacienda. Way better food and service. Get what you pay for. That was the last time for me and El Jimador.

1 /5 Shiori: I got texano loco and it was pretty good. But the waitress Savanna who was “taking care of” us ruined my dinner. I asked her if the food has onions and she IMMEDIATELY said NO which was a lie, it did have onions. If she hadn’t answered my question that quick or she at least went to the kitchen and check the chef then I would have been like “at least she did something”. She didn’t even do either and didn’t come check on us AT ALL. Onions make me sick. Imagine I had onion allergy, she could have caused death or something. For this, I’m giving 1 star but I’m sure the other waitresses should be fine and the food is divine so it’s just the experience I got from her. Also, queso was $5 which is ridiculous. Why would SAUCE cost $5???? Is this supposed to be a fancy restaurant? I don’t think so.

4 /5 Mae: Nice place. Chips and salsa were great, nice and spicy. Beans and rice were fine, not as flavorful. Fish tacos and shrimp nachos were both very yummy. Bathroom was pretty bad.

5 /5 Joe Horne: After living in Dahlonega for 2yrs, we finally got around to trying El Jimador. Our bad! This restaurant blows the doors off the other Mexican restaurant in town. We started off with a large chunky guacamole, which was perfect, my wife had 3 Street Tacos: chicken, beef, and pork which she loved (they’re so big she only ate ½ of each, which provided great leftovers), and I had the Camerones al Chipotle which was delicious. The margarita my wife had was fantastic as well. When considering Mexican food in Dahlonega, don’t hesitate going to El Jimador. You won’t be disappointed!

2 /5 Denise Sensing: Service was slow. It took several minutes to be seated and even longer for anyone to take our order. Appetizers came before drinks, and food took about 30 minutes. They also mixed up our taco order, soft shell tacos came out as hard shell instead. Once it was fixed, the food was actually very good. Kitchen did great, but the service really needs improvement.
