Normally I get enchiladas or something I've had many times. Decided to try the Shrimp A La Diabla and I was shocked. Best "BBQ" sauce on those shrimp ever. I could've drank a pint of that stuff. Will definitely try again some day.

My favorite Mexican restaurant. I brought 3 guests with me, and each of us was very pleased with our selections. I had the Hawaiian Bowl. I ordered the chunky guacamole and queso for appetizers.

3/12/24. We currently enjoy eating at EL Jinete. Conditions and the food won't disappoint ? Don't ask for anything for your birthday unless you enjoy a whipped cream pie in your face.

The food in general tasted good, the horchata water was very tasty. The only detail is that the salad that came with the dish I ordered came with a hair. I didn't eat it. The service was very good, the staff is friendly.

I give this place a 5 star n9 doubt. Im not gonna lie I was a lil worried coming here cause I didn't know if I'd like anything. My husband took me here on valentine's day, I got the chicken quesadilla & oh my gosh it was sooo good. The service was awesome & the place looked clean.Great Job El Jinete keep up the good work!!!

The food always comes out super fast, incredibly hot. The servers are so incredibly sweet. Everything is delicious. They have the best chorizo dip I’ve ever had.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible! The door is a little heavy but that was the only problem i had.

Great Mexican option in the area. Love the atmosphere and the staff are very snappy to provide service. If you like it spicy, I recommend you try their hot salsa. Unlike most Mexican restaurants in the area, the hot salsa is not just about the heat, but it has a great flavor as well. El Jinete has become a regular spot for my family and myself.

Been here 3 times so far, every time it's just meh.First time I had the Birria Tacos, they were soaking wet in grease, and not crispy like they should have been.Got fajitas last time that were just okay, really lacked seasoning, and again, it was just so greasy. Never seen fajitas be greasy before.Will not be coming back.

Casual dining, not really loud. Service was very good and so was the food - I got another meal out it, the portions (lunch fajitas) were so big.
