The chips and salsa are fire, and the beans with cheese are better than most restaurants I go to at home. I go for the carne asada tacos on corn tortillas. If you like heat like I do, ask for the hot sauce! I tend to stick with tacos, but I've done the enchilada and tamale combo before too, also great. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Everyone who works here is just super nice. They also carry Coke products, and the Diet Coke is perfectly crispy! Service is super quick. No waiting, food comes out fast. Perfect for a quick work lunch. I love this place and start looking forward to it the second I get on the plane. See you next time!

It took a while to get our order taken. One kid had a corn dog and asked to substitute rice and beans for the fries and they were very willing to do so. Another child just wanted refried beans. The third child had a hardshell taco with her rice and beans. Hubby had Carnitas and said they were good. He took home about half of them. Daughter had El Pastore chimichanga. There is an up charge of two dollars for the El. Pastor I had chipotle chicken based on the recommendation of others and it was good. It was a bit on the spicy side, but I didn't mind. Portions are so big that we all took something home. Kids meals did not include beverages. The service was good and the place was clean--a nice little place to have lunch.

I guess this location has been a number of restaurants throughout the years, but it has been nicely transformed into a Mexican motif. Chips and salsa came quickly and we declined additional options of guac or queso. Our server came quickly and got our drink orders, and then we placed our food orders. The food came out in a reasonable time, with the typical 'hot plate' All the food was what you'd expect, and had good, fresh flavors. My wife's dish came out with beef instead of the chicken she'd ordered, and wasn't as hot as the rest of the dish, but otherwise was good. Communication with our server was a bit hit or miss, but she was attentive and checked in regularly. All in all I'd recommend it--we liked it much more than the other similar competitor in town.

Let's just say I was hangry when I arrived and I was super excited to see they were offering a limited menu due to RAGBRAI and that they were churning out orders FAST. I went with three tacos - one of each offering - and they were all delicious. My favorite was definitely the steak and bacon taco, but I would 100 percent eat this exact meal again and again if I lived in Denison. If you happen to be passing through (or, perhaps you're local and looking to try out a new spot) El Paisano is a gem and totally worth it. Cheers to supporting local businesses!
