As always the food was incredible. Especially for the price. We got our food crazy quickly on this visit. Andy wife has leftovers for lunch today. We were out the door for 30 bucks til included. You can’t beat this bang for the buck here.

We ate at El Jinete in Cleveland, Tennessee last night, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
It began with warm chips and salsa, which were already great—but when I asked for something hotter, our amazing waitress Tatiana brought out their homemade hot salsa. Wow. It was spicy, full of flavor, and easily one of the best salsas I’ve had. Pure heaven.
For my meal, I ordered the Birria Tacos: three corn tortillas stuffed with tender beef birria and cheese (no onions or cilantro), served with a rich birria broth, lime, and salsa. Every bite was incredible—deep flavor, perfectly cooked meat, and that broth took it to another level. My daughter had the cheesesteak tacos, and they were just as awesome.
As great as the food was, the service truly stole the show. Tatiana went above and beyond in every way. She checked on us regularly, kept our drinks filled, recommended the best hot sauce, and made us feel genuinely welcome. I had honestly started to believe great customer service was a thing of the past—but she completely proved me wrong.
Because of Tatiana’s exceptional service and the amazing food, we will absolutely be returning as loyal customers. El Jinete is doing it right, and Tatiana is a true gem. Highly recommend!

Stopped at local hotel and walked over because of reviews. Service and food were spectacular. Only surprise was bean dip appetizer on right in picture. We are used to refried beans with cheese and onion. This was a queso with some beans in bottom. Flavor was excellent and ordered a combo that had beans and rice. Used dip on burritos and used refried beans as chip dip. My wife got tacos and could barely bite them they were so full. Will definitely save in phone for future trips.

We were passing through and planned to stop at Culver’s across the street only to find it still under construction. We had a car full of hungry people so we Decided to eat here because we all like Mexican. Glad we did! The food was great with sizeable portions (we all had to have a take home box) and everything was so clean, wish this place was closer to home we would eat here all the time

The establishment is very clean and great service. We ordered appetizer chorizo dip and spinach dip. They were on the salty side for my liking. Food came out quick and efficient and the presentation was beautiful. Our waitress was very friendly and enjoyed having her as our waitress. Salsa isn’t chunky homemade and very good guacamole is some of the best I’ve had in cleveland it sits right off the exit so convenient for travelers looking for a good meal and authentic Mexican food.. great menu and kids meals also.
