Reviews for El Jimador Real Mexican Restaurant in Bardstown, KY

We stopped in at El Jimador Mexican Bar & Grill for a late lunch. There were very few people in the restaurant so we really... couldn't comment on the service. I will say the service we received was very good. Our waitress checked on us several timesduring our visit. We were served salsa and chips on our arrival. The chips were warm which we like. The salsa was served in asmall bowl, seem a little watery to me. My wife thought it looked and tasted more like ketchup. It wasn't a deal breaker by anymeans. The decor was very whimsical and creative. If you dine with small children I am sure you can make a game out of the decorwhile waiting on your order. I had the Burrito Jimador which was a large flour tortilla filled with shredded chicken topped withlettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and served with rice and beans. You can change out the chicken for seasoned ground beef if youwish. The serving size was good, not great, and the burrito I would say is on par with any Mexican restaurant you would visitnowadays. I had a frozen Margarita which was good and once again on par with any like Mexican restaurant. I will say I'm glad Ididn't order a large Margarita because the medium-sized one was large enough for me. My wife had the Burrito Spinach withshrimp. The burrito was stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese, topped with a house marinara sauce and shreddedParmesan cheese. The burrito was served with rice and steamed vegetables. My wife enjoy the burrito but was a little surprisedthere was only three shrimp served with the burrito. The upcharge for the shrimp seemed a little high to us. I'm in a dilemmahere between a 3 ½ star and a four-star review for El Jimador. Unfortunately, Google doesn't let reviewers give half-stars onreviews. I think there is more towards a four-star review than a three-star one. Therefore, I'm going with the four stars. Read more

Very busy it 3:30 Saturday afternoon. The portions were large, the salsa was bland, the hot sauce was very hot! The server was... busy, and he worked very hard. I would eat there again. Read more

Today the food was fresh and delicious. I had the new chori Pollo burrito. Comes stuffed with diced chicken, corn, black... beans, sour cream. And some vegetables that tasted like bell peppers covered with a slightly spicy cheese sauce. I had totake 1/4 home for lunch as it was too much for me to handle. Good nee menu item. Read more

Clean restaurant and restrooms. Friendly staff. No wait to be seated. Only waited about 10 minutes for our meal. Great food.

I got the grilled beef burrito and it was very good, except that it came with sour cream. The menu only mentioned lettuce and... tomato, guacamole by request, so I didn't know to ask for no sour cream. My wife got the ribeye. She always orders med rare andevery restaurant over cooks. This was no exception, but they made her another one and it was good. All in all the food was greatexcept for the salsa served when seated. It was literally only ground tomato. No seasoning, cilantro or anything. Flavorless. Wewere very confused and asked if that was the normal house salsa and was told yes. Oh well. Anyway, our service was good and wewill probably eat here again. Read more
