Enchilada platter
Chuck M.

What an awesome visit we had to El Chicos. My group, around 22 of us gathered for our monthly Toastmasters meeting. Our server handled all the orders with military precision. We requested that we be served our entrees before our monthly meeting started. The staff complied and brought an "army" of servers to deliver each and every entree to the proper individual hot and perfectly prepared. Our server and El Chico's staff didn't fail us. Everyone enjoyed the food. My wife had a taco plate, and I ordered a plate with 2 enchiladas. We ended our meal with chocolate nachos. Wow, everything was SO good. Thank you El Chicos for a wonderful time. Our group will see you again soon.

Howdy, Y'all! Woo hoo! Fall at long last. 100° is gone, and you better get outside before winter hits. Enough Youtube. Wife needs nachos. Haven't been here in decades. This place is still awesome, so it isn't their fault. To dang many options in the DFW. Can't eat at all of them and still get a chance to cook at home. The raod construction at this exit made it a huge hassle to get here and back home. Now the exit is open, and I'm here for nachooooos (Say it like on Nacho Libre, and it's way better.) Greeted through the door, so that was quite pleasant. The restaurant is super nice and has the right feel. I need to come back to sit here. For nachos, though, they carry out. Took my order in minutes, so the wait for to-go is easy peasy. Fully stocked bar for those who indulge. I wish I could drink, but I gave up trying at 19. 40 years and just can't start now. Well, I got the food home, unpacked, enough for two adults in the order. Nachos packed with ground beef, cheese, on top of crispy chips. Not slopped together, individual nachos chips each made with care. Side of Rice and beans. Rice was fluffy and light. Airy, seasoned. Beans were nice refried beans that complimented the rice. Ordered Queso with chips for dipping. This is the light queso I try to make at home, but just miss, so Youtubing their recipe. Don't judge me. Food was a nice temp to say I had to drive home. Didn't have to nuke it. Just a nice amount of spicy heat to make the nose run a bit, but not such that it will be hot the "second time." Cannot do hot out. Let's keep it real. All in all, I'm already planning a sit-down experience here. I love my small adjoining town of Richland Hills. This spot is a great little hometown spot that deserves growth. I would love it if they had a patio to match the food. I can imagine sipping tea, enjoying their grub outdoors on a night like this. All of you reading this far, again, thank you for bearing with my novella's. Honestly, I love sharing when an experience went well almost as much as I love reading of your experiences. I read them from California to Georgia, Ohio, Florida. It connects us across this land. It is like a mini vaca to share in your travels. You ladies and gents are truly some interesting folks leading interesting lives, and I appreciate you taking the time to share a bit of it with me. Be well, take care, get and give hugs as often as minutes alive allow you. Come here, know you matter that you took time to show up even if you never share a word. You just read a word saying thank you from me, and the truth that you are a part of everyone else. Peace.

Walked in and greeted with a smile. Hostess sat us quickly for a Sunday brunch hour. Service was quick and attentive. Manager came by to check on us and our cups were never empty. Let's move onto food. It's texmex. Queso was good. Enchiladas were good.. not authentic enchiladas but Def texmex and filling. Dessert are AMAZING

Steak Fajita
Marli M.

We have been to this location many times and continue to be impressed. Is it absolutely amazing? No. But it is dependable and tasty food for some of the best prices around! You seriously can't beat the price for the quality. We love to go Saturday's when they have fajitas and margaritas for two for only $23. They have great service too and never overly busy. Their margaritas are tasty but not strong but they are dirt cheap. It's one of our favorite places around.

Update: they have decent tortilla soup and tamales. That absolutely saved this place from being a 1-star.

So, buddy asks me if I want to go have a drink at this bar across from Bell Helicopter one night…read more I'm like, "are you kidding? No!" He says it's a nice place, about as divey as where we were at the time, and after he said he'd drive, I said "sure, why not" Get there, walk in, and he's right. It's not bad at all. It's old inside and the last remodel looks like it was back in the 70's, but I never really care about that stuff. It was a weekend night and there were quite a few people there. Bartenders were quick and friendly. No draft beer, but a pretty stocked full bar so no complaints. One thing I really ended up liking best about this place, was it's a mostly older crowd. Majority of people, I'd guess, 40's and up, maybe upper 30's in the least. I'm bad with ages. Everyone was friendly. Looks like a big regular crowd, seemed everyone knew each other. People doing Karaoke in the corner. Everyone was having a good time. Didn't see any people having drama or walk in misfits making trouble. Bit of a drive for me, but might make this more of a first stop on the weekend place. Drinks were reasonable.

Nice smaller club with pool tables, a stage & dance floor. They have reasonably priced drinks…read moreserved by some of the nicest folks around. The regular crowd is friendly. I usually stop in for Friday Night Karaoke. Great K J with large song collection who is very easy to work with. The sing list is not overly long so it's a good laid back evening.
