We eat there enough they know our drink order and my husbands order.  We went the other day and he brought our drink order without even coming to the table.  My daughter says it is embarrassing...I say good service!

Prices are good.  My husband and I can share a steak fajita and still have some  left over.  I like the taco del carne asada.  It is the steak fajita meat w/o veggies in three soft shells.  It come with beans and tomatillo sauce...ummmm...

Hubby and I have carry-out night every Thursday. Yesterday he decided he wanted enchiladas from El Jimador. I called in my order around 2:00 PM  and said I would pick it up at a little past 4:30 PM.

When I got there...no order and the waitress kept asking me if I'd called ahead. Apparently NO ONE took the order down when I called so she asked if I wanted to place an order then.

I politely said NO and walked out. After a long busy day at work and the disappointment of not having the meal ready when I got there I just did not feel like waiting so I ended up getting something from Kentucky Fried Buzzard.

Probably a glitch in an otherwise flawless call-in system so I will give El Jimador one more chance and if it's messed up again they'll get crossed off my "list".

Why would you call it in at 2pm? That would confuse any restaurant. Just call when you are on your way. Thats what I do. Takes about 10-15 mins even if they are busy.

I was also disappointed the last time Rick called in an order from El Jimador. They forgot two of our orders of chips but did include the cheese sauce and salsa. I know they get really busy but maybe they should implement double checking of the orders. The way they bag it up and hand it to you, it is hard to check it while standing in the check out line. I also use to love the steak fajitas but lately it taste like they have over seasoned and over cooked it. Not lovin it so much anymore.  :P

I had lunch there yesterday, and was a little disappointed in the taste of my food, but my husband said his was fine. It turned out that I was developing a sinus infection, so it wasn't them, it was me.

Last night I had a "fajita salad" and was very disappointed with it and will never order that thing again.  It was a big pile of very thinly shredded lettuce (like what goes on a taco) some shredded chicken some shredded cheese and a dollap of sour cream.  It wasn't very good.  My husband had some burritos and they looked good.  He said they were ok.  We did order bean dip to have with the chips and that was my favorite part of the meal.  The food doesn't seem as good as when they first opened.

I get the Popeyes (it's grilled chicken, spinach and mushrooms with cheese on it, comes with rice and beans) - OMG - I want some. It's a jalisco at El Maguey in Rolla and they put grilled onions on it too. I also get the white cheese with the chips.

I use a "spoonful" on something that's good and a "dollap" on something that's not so good.

I have to give El Jimador's a big pat on the back.  I was at a party there Tuesday night and there were about 40 people.  The server didn't get one order wrong!!  It was amazing to watch those guys carry 5-6 plates on their arms and get them to the right person and keep the drinks coming.  Wonderful!  However, my one complaint would be that we couldn't all sit together.  There has to be a better way to organize parties, or have a party room set aside away from the rest of the diners.  Other than that??  Super!
