El Jimador

Delicious Mexican food! Visiting from Hawaii, we always talk about finding authentic Mexican food. I don't know what a chimichanga is and what Pollo means, but it's flavorful. The chimichangas came with rice and beans, and the beans were like a paste. It went well with the salsa, sour cream, and rice. The Pollo Monterrey came with thin chicken strips covered in mozzarella cheese and tender vegetables on the side. This was as authentic as we could get to real Mexican food. Highly recommended!

We stopped on our way down on a road trip. Food was good ,service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.

One thing is for certain, Bardstown has no shortage of restaurants. Among the local gems, are several Mexican restaurants. This particular one is my favorite Bardstown Mexican restaurant. So why only four stars you ask? They aren't consistent, and I've been overcharged on multiple occasions. Admittedly, I've been here countless times, so fluke experiences are bound to happen. The grilled beef that they put in the burritos,etc, is phenomenal. Literally the best beef that I've had from a Mexican restaurant. The beef chimichanga is also the best I've had anywhere! The house margaritas are strong and tasty, even on happy hour. On Wednesdays they offer $.50 chicken wings. Those used to be hearty, but they've shrunk over the months and I don't recommend them at all.

I've had two meals here and don't care to go back. The atmosphere is full of cheerful color with the sports bar feel: big screens in all directions. Tortillas have added flavor if browned over a fire and theirs aren't. The rice and beans were bland: I tasted them as sides off my son's plate. There was White Rice in my Burrito instead of Spanish Rice. The Burrito was okay, covered with a thin white cheese sauce. Tortilla Chips were good but we mixed the hot and mild sauces together for a better flavor. Two items I wanted to order off the menu were not available at 3:30pm in the afternoon. I asked for lemon with my water and didn't get that either. I love Fried Ice Cream but I didn't care for theirs. My kids took me one time for Lunch and Dinner another time during a visit. They said they frequent this place because they have "the best" Hot Wings! Ironically the restaurant that boasts hot wings is next door.

Good food, waiters/waitress is friendly, has the feel of an authentic Mexican restaurant.

When my husband and I moved to Bardstown every restaurant we were used to was too far away but we found this gem and we love it! Their menu is very big so it was overwhelming at first but you can never go wrong with the food you order from here!

Our favorite restaurant after moving into town. We have never been disappointed in our food service or the quality. The waiters are always prompt on refills and bringing our food out hot and delicious. The pollo chorizo is one of our favorites along with the fajitas. Always plenty of food for each meal and the price is fair. Good fresh flavor that's different from other Mexican restaurants. Will continue to enjoy our new favorite! Happy hour all day Thursday's

The food and service and El Jimador are HARD TO BEAT. Both are consistently top tier. We have been dining there for years. They are consistent and reasonably priced.

Service, food and margaritas were excellent. Was our first visit and was curious after seeing the previous ratings but didn't take long to be glad we came. Will definitely be back.

The best Mexican Restaurant in Bardstown Great food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. Drink specials were also available!!!!
