I LOVE this place!! The food is fresh, their service has always been fast and very attentive, the restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and they have the best margarita in town! Unfortunately, no one in my family likes their ground beef - they all say it tastes strange - so I only get to dine here when I'm on my own or meeting friends for lunch.

Great Place, good prices and the staff is always friendly. The food has always been hot and fresh. I go a few times a month. I would recommend to anyone.

My husband and I ate here for the first time on date night. It was our first time eating here. The service was decent, although a little slow, but we were dining without the kids and didn't mind taking a little extra time. : ) Our server was very friendly-- food was delicious. Another factor we considered is that El Jinete is one of the only Mexican restaurants in the Dacula area that consistently gets good health inspection grades! Will definitely go there again.

Wow...I've been a customer at El Jinete since it opened. The owner has always been pleasant. The food...wow...I really do not like alot of Mexican food. I've tried plenty in the area. El Jinete has always been consistently the best. Food has always been hot, fresh and tasty. The service has always been good...the owner always asks me about the wife and kids. I am glad El Jinete is always busy. It means there are plenty of people who share my view of this eatery and that they will stay in business of a long time to come.

Bad! Went twice trying to give them a second chance but it was as bad as before. The food is really bad, the chicken is tasteless and dry. Also the food is always cold and the service couldn't be worst. Do not recomend to anyone.
