El Jimador is unique in that they offer cuisine that is not like every other Mexican restaurant in the surrounding area.

El Jimador is a staple to Clemson and the surrounding area. Very nice atmosphere inside, super chill to have a drink after work or enjoy a nice first date with. Lovely patio area if the weather is right. Always a lowkey place to enjoy food and drink. Not very nice in any specific standard but overall good quality in general.

We were seated immediately. The manager Rafael was helpful with our questions. Our server Federico was very attentive. To our surprise, the food came out very quickly and it was very flavorful! Would highly recommend! Will be coming back when in town again.

One star for this place is generous. It was our first time here as we were wanting to try something different. The customer service was alright but the food was something else. The chips were okay but the sauce did not taste good as all that you could taste was cilantro. When we received our food we were in awe for such small quantity with high prices. The steak quesadillas barely had any meat. We asked a waiter about it and he said “oh, what, you want some more?” Yes, please… But we didn’t ask for more. You can judge for yourself in the pictures (by the way, they were not off the kids menu). Two steak quesadillas were $9.50. The ground beef tostadas had barely any lettuce and had an odd taste. The shredded chicken tostada didn’t taste bad but again had barely any lettuce. My husband got the “Los Alambres -Texan” dish which had chicken, steak and shrimp. The dish had three shrimp and very little steak for $13 dollars. We will not be returning to this place. My recommendation is for anyone to go to a different Mexican restaurant other than this one.

The food was descent. Staff was friendly. The reason for two stars was that they charge extra for everything. Things that are normally included like guac, side salad, choosing flour tortillas over corn, etc, were extra charges. For instance the small amount of guac my wife got was $4. They also charged $11 for a medium margarita when the menu says its $9. With a $5 tip our bill was $60. Normally we get the same amount of food/drinks etc, for $40 – $45, sometimes cheaper depending on where we are. It was not worth $60.

I haven’t been here in awhile. Not sure if it’s under new ownership or what. However, the food was good the service was horrible. I honestly felt hahy because I am Black they did not take care of me as well as I am use to. I was ignored and even forgotten about. I have ask for everything. And was very insulted, due to being told it would cost me extra any time I ordered something else. I am very disappointed because I have always enjoyed coming here

Pretty good meal overall. A little twist on some of my favorites in which some worked and others I wasn’t a fan. The salsa had a slight chipotle flavor that was great. The atmosphere and service made me forget the things I wasn’t a fan of. Definitely going again if I’m back in town.

Food was all mixed together. The sauce made it inedible. The food in photo was actually 3 different items all squished together. Food was thrown away. My dogs wouldnt even eat it. All that was able to be eaten was rice and beans. The tacos were mushy. The quesadilla had very little meat. Lettuce on tostada was wilted and brown looking. Chips were stale. Will never eat here again. If I could leave a No-star review I would. I recommend Monterrey’s of Clemson as they have great food everytime we eat there.

Wonderful service! Our server was very attentive, and she immediately greeted us when we came through the door. I had a steak quesadilla, and it was delicious. Very cute and quaint atmosphere. The bathroom was really clean too. We will be back. Sorry, I was so hungry, I neglected to take photos of my food lol.
