Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I love their salsa it has an excellent flavor. I have eaten here several times and I think the prices are fair and the portions are huge. The staff is friendly and efficient, margaritas are tasty and they often have drink specials. I also think the place had the coolest carved & decorated tables! I think this is a great place to eat and it's in a good location.

Have eaten here several times. The food is a little on the bland- under seasoned side so is just OK. The salsa is weak, very weak. The real issue is that they bring you COLD, STALE TORTILLA CHIPS! They do however make good margaritas and the staff is very friendly.

The food was pretty good, and you get a lot for what you pay for. The portion sizes are, like other reviewers have said, quite large. All of the staff were extremely friendly, but the food wasn't outstanding or anything. I'd eat here again, but I don't think that it would be somewhere I'd prefer to eat over other places.

Agree. Not a great representation of Mexican style food. There are better choices in Maryville to get your Mex fix. The people running the place are friendly always ready to help and it seems fairly clean. My experiences their have been mixed at best, but consistently not very good. The menu is standard. The prices are fair for what's intended, but what's served isn't worth it. The food seems to be from a can, not fresh. The preparation doesn't appear to done with very much attention. We eat with our eyes...well, the presentation is important. Can't recommend it.

I was told this place was a really good Mexican restaurant. I decided to take a little drive out to Maryville and give this place a shot. On Friday nights outside the old movie theatre which is now a night club called Fairbanks in Knoxville there is a little taco stand that sits. They arrive there around 10:00pm on Fridays and the tacos are truely amazing. A couple by the taco stand said, "if you think these are good, you should come try our restaurant, El Jimador." That is how it came about, the idea of trying out El Jimador. We were sat and began chowing down on chips and salsa. I have had better so the experience started off just okay. As I looked around the decor looked like the restaurant in Knoxville called Pelancho's. Eventually, I noticed on the back of a few of the chairs the name Pelancho's was carved in them. I wonder if Pelancho's and El Jimador are owned by the same people? We ordered the Enchiladas Rancheros and the Tacos de Carne Asada. The Steak in the Tacos was very chewy and not great. The Enchiladas Rancheros was not great either. As our food was brought out to us other than our server I waited around to try and get his attention to ask for some hot sauce. He did not come around to our table until we were practically done. Bad Service. The margaritas weren't bad. If I were looking for a Mexican restaurant in the Maryville area, I would go to Los Amigos in a heartbeat. El Jimador was not what it was cracked up to be and I will not be back unless a friend of mine wants to go there otherwise stay clear. Cheers and Enjoy!

Been eating here since it first opened. I must say it is one of the best Mexican resturants in Maryville.
