El Jinete Mexican Restaurant

Always good food and nice waitress
Apr 8th, 2024

My family and I were looking for a place to eat on our way to Kentucky to visit the Noah's Ark Encounter and happened upon El Jinete. They are located in strip mall type place. The outside looks according, but is just as nice as a stand alone building. Inside is nice and decorated well. They had a packed house...for a Friday night I expect this was probably normal for them. We walked in and they immediately sat us even though they don't have much room (tables very close together). They quickly served us and kept good attention on us without too much. Food had a good flavor, especially for AmeriMex (American Mexican) food. The chips and salsa have a good flavor, not overpowered by the tomato. My wife had the Nachos Fajita Jalisco, my little girl rice and beans, boy chicken tenders and fries and I had the Choriqueso (cheese dip with jalapeos and chorizo) and salsa tomatillo. Most places don't charge for the spicy salsa, but they did here ($1). Decent value for the money. Only drawbacks for my family and I is that it also has a bar and the closeness of the seats. We were basically sitting with another family. We'd most likely return here again if we were in the area. Apparently, others think so too. They have 2 other locations. No military discount offered.
