This was my 2nd visit. 1 month ago had a great meal and good service. Seamed to have the right amount of servers. This second visit. Food was good, not as great. Plates were extremely hot and shrimp a little overdone. probably still cooking on the plate. Service is a different story. The server almost seamed annoyed to offer service. Very annoyed that I asked for more tea.Perhaps it's an off day. 1 unpleasant visit doesn't automatically condemn this restaurant. We shall see what the 3rd brings.Dining right now.

You must try the bacon wrapped shrimp. Absolutely delicious. I had a huge tasty shrimp cocktail with plenty left over to take home.Comfortable family restaurant.

I absolutely love this place. My go to for mexican food. I recently moved here from Tulsa Ok where there's an abundance of great Mexican food. Being it's my favorite, I was worried coming to a new place. But no more. 88As soon as I walk in, they know me. They know my table I like outside, my drink and how I like it (amazing mojito"s of all flavors!), and so far everything I've tried off the menu has been great! Service is always top-notch, especially the lunch and late afternoon group of servers. If you haven't been there yet, what are you waiting for?!?!?

This place is the most amazing place we have ever been! Liliana is the best bartender! The food was beyond great! And the drink pour was beyond generous! We can’t wait to come back to Georgia to see our Lili! If you’ve never been here, we are glad to drive back an hour to always see her!!! We’ve never met a more generous and deserving of woman!

Of all the Mexican restaurants in Effingham County, this is by far THE BEST! We've tried them all and this is our favorite. The staff is always friendly. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. Laid back atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining available. If you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend you come try it out!
This place is always packed, and yet they always manage to provide the best service! The food is amazing. Simply amazing. Been here a few times and have yet to get something that’s not delicious and authentic!Highly recommend if you’re looking for a nice place to eat whether it be lunch or dinner.
Stopped in for a quick bite after a track meet. The outside made me question the reviews. The food was great. The service was awesome. The food doesn't come out as fast as other similar places but who cares if it's great?!?

Our family tried El Ximandor for the first time last night and we were all very impressed. The food was all amazing! We can’t say enough about those churros, just wow!! This will be our new go to for Mexican!

My husband and I both thought our food was way too greasy. There was so much leftover oil in the skillet when we'd eaten down to the bottom that it made me feel a little queasy to look at it. Overall the food and service was decent, but I don't really understand all of the rave reviews. We've only been once, so maybe the person cooking was just a little heavy handed with the oil?

We've been eating here since they first opened. Great food and service. The only Mexican restaurant to eat in Effingham, absolutely the best! Can't say enough about this restaurant. I give this restaurant 5 stars! It shows I gave it a 3 star, that's wrong! It's a 5 for sure.
Loved it!
