“ Best Mexican food in Stafford! We have been waiting for a great Mexican place . This place checked all the boxes ! Great atmosphere , great decor , great food and great service ! We will 100 percent be back :) ”
“ Amazing service, food came out in about 15 minutes. Ambiance was great too with nice music that our Spanish exchange student understood. Total rating from the group was 5 stars, would recommend. ”
“ I can't say too much because the friend I was meeting didn't show up. I had already ordered queso and guacamole. My server told me they were known for their guacamole, but I find that to be a damnable lie. I know the table side guacamole was probably better, but the regular guacamole was very bland. I like a lot of lime, pico and tajin in my guacamole, but too each his own. The queso was pretty good, so I sat and ate the queso before getting the check and leaving. Also awkward, a person got up from the bar and immediately collapsed and they had to call an ambulance! The staff handled it extremely well, it was impressive. My server gave me chip refills on multiple occasions, so I have no complaints about my experience. I took pictures of every page in the menu because there were no good menu pics. You're welcome! ”
“ The food was tasty, and the service was good. The restaurant is new and decorated nicely. We decided to give them a try for dinner and wasn't disappointed. The Fajitas were good. I think that the shrimp are too small, and that they cut their meat a little to finely. The steak would always be overcooked if you want anything that's not well done on that hot plate. Overall, this place is better than other tex mex places in the Stafford area. I would definitely return and try some different things in the future. 4 Stars ”
“ Super new place! Love the look of it. All open and inviting. Food was great as well. Love the service. Very attentive and bringing us everything we needed before we knew we needed it. Highly recommend them. ”
“ Although they had a rough start, with overwhelming demand during the first few weeks, they've definitely come around. They are still quite busy, but we were seated promptly and waited on shortly thereafter. The food came commensurate with a cooked to order meal and has been absolutely delicious every time. Oh yeah, chef Francisco's fresh made Tres Leche cake and flan are phenomenal ”
“ We love the El Jimador in the Celebrate VA part of Stafford, off of Rt17, so when this place opened (just a few days ago) we stopped in for lunch. Came on a weekday and they were so packed, the entire parking lot was packed too! We got a seat outdoors on their patio, which was nice. They definitely need to work through some issues associated with being newly opened and popular (so they're very busy), but overall they're on track to do very well. We opted for their mix fajitas for two and they were tasty, fresh, and served up hot. Overall, not a bad visit, and I look forward to returning. ”
