My app and dessert were pretty good but my entree was overcooked and bland. Overall this was more of the same old Tex Mex most... places in the area serve. Waiter pretty much ignored me the entire time. My drink was empty most of the meal. Overall a sub parexperience. I won't be back Read more
Food was good and service was nice. Some plates were very filling and others a little less. I got a chicken dish and my chicken... was thin and small but my son got a steak dish and seemed to have more meat. Both were on the lunch menu. My daughter's dinnermenu dish was huge though. I would probably pick something else next time but I think we would eat here again if we were in thearea. Read more
I ate the shrimp tacos. My husband ate the steak fajitas. They were both good. The restroom was very clean. Staff very... professional. Read more
Is it possible to have negative stars? I'll apologize upfront because I don't like leaving very negative reviews but... the... waiter took a while to even take our drink order, then didn't even know what they had on tap. He just pointed over his shoulder.Took forever to take our order. The salsa came right before our meal. My wife and I both had to send our plates back becausethey were horrible. They made a new order but it was even worse, like they just added more salt. Horrible. Read more

Another road-trip between Knoxville and Atlanta, another craving for authentic Mexican food. Good reviews guided us here and it... certainly didn?t disappoint. A couple pints of ice-cold Modelo Especial and warm crispy chips with salsa as we perused themenu. Tacos Birria and chicken tamales hit the spot. Served up quickly and piping hot. Delicious and filling ? more than enoughfor the two of us. Excellent and attentive service from our waiter, the rest of the staff lacked in the smiles/friendlydepartment but we were there for good food, not good feels. If you?re in the area and craving Mexican, give El Jinete a shot.We enjoyed our meal and think you will too. Until next time? Read more
