El Jimador

El Jimador
3200 Penn Terrace (back behind Golden Corral on Clark Lane)

Oldboy: 4 stars
This is just another of the typical pseudo-Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurants that seem to abound in the U.S. Not that it isn't decent food, it just isn't REAL Mexican food. Average price and decent decor, but seen it all before. The food was ok, nothing outstanding. Typical chips and salsa to begin with. The margarita had a goodly amount of alcohol in it. Enough food for some leftovers, if we had wanted to take any of it home. Again, average food, average price, same as every other place.

Give El Jimador in Jefferson City a try. I think they're still working the kinks out at the Columbia one.

Is the menu any different there? The point I was trying to make was that the overall menu & food isn't really "Mexican" but what we have gotten used to as "Mexican." Fancied-up sit-down Taco Bell food. That doesn't mean it isn't ok food, just that it isn't "real" Mexican, i.e., food that is actually more traditional (such as the meats, the tortillas being homemade, and the like).
