While it is an order-at-the-counter type of fast food place, the decor and atmosphere overall is quite lively and energetic. Once you get past the plastic plates and bowls, the food was very good. My wife ordered the Texas Rice Bowl (see picture) and found it delicious. I ordered the Carne Asada & Carnitas Tacos (see picture) and was impressed with the double corn tortilla delivery and generous portions fillings, including the guacamole. If you are ok with the fast food type of delivery and plastic bowls, plates and silverware, you will find the food to be very good! We will definitely stop again the next time we stop here for gas.

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.

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!
