El Jinete Mexican Restaurant

Service and food was good. We had a party of 9 and they were very accommodating. The portions were big and everyone really liked their meals. This was our first time there and we will be back.

Not sure if they were swamped, but I had to ask the front desk multiple times to retrieve our waiter for the patio. The food was delivered hot and was tasty, but we also needed drink refills, salt, salsa, etc. all the things that make a Mexican meal. We didn't get a how is everything check-in that waitstaff normally does to ensure a satisfactory snack, nor did we get the chance to request refills After waiting a while, that's when I had to start asking for the finishing touches for our lunch and then our waiter swoops in with more chips but no salsa, had to ask the front desk for salt and salsa after waiting about 10 more minutes for him to return. Finally the salsa comes, finally we get more water, finally can really start eating everything. Overall, the food was good, but it's really slow to get any follow-ups for foods. Otherwise, make sure you think of everything when placing your food order, including extra salsa, sides, salt, etc. A bit more frequent check-ins and delivery of sides would help...

I've read a lot of negative comments but I was treated good and the food was perfect

Local Mexican cuisine but will not be returning due to a variety of issues. 1. Bugs in the house margaritas. 2. Appetizer Cheese and Chorizo dip arrived room temperature. 3. We had a visitor “cockroach” come crawling on the table after our food arrived. After discreetly confronting the front desk of the issues and opting to receive a shot vs replacement margarita and having the cheese dip removed from the bill we resumed dinner. Upon receiving the bill the “replacement” drink was charged in full. Attempted to have it removed; however the rude and unyielding manager refused to adjust or acknowledge any of the problems. FYI there are company’s who spray for insects I will be happy to send a referral. Really hope this place improves soon. But that was my third attempt at a decent experience.
