Been going there since I was a little kid. Never disappointing, always the same good tex-mex. The top shelf quesadillas are the greatest thing on the menu. read more

I have been eating here for YEARS! The remodel is great -- the restaurant has a more clean, modern feel now. The service good, the food is great, and they have great drink and dinner specials every night of the week! This is definitely a regular spot for my husband and I when we want some great Tex-Mex! read more

I've had more meals at this location than I can count. Yet no matter what time of day it is or how busy they seem to be, I still receive excellent service. Very impressed! read more

We had a great dinner at El Chico . Love the top shelf guacamole done table side. attentive staff and good service as well as affordable.

I was sad when they closed the one off of I-35 near Carrollton. I went to a few others and they were not as good. So decided to try the one in Rockwall. The food was delicious and service was great!! read more

My family came here (note that my sister has multiple disabilities and uses a wheelchair) and the hostess treated us like freaks. She tried to seat us in corner away from other people, and then got us a table for four when there were five of us. Obviously she didn't consider my sister a person just because she has special needs. Never going back. read more

I am very unpleased by how long I had to wait just to sit and get drinks; a couple walked in 30 minutes after we finally got our drinks and they got served in under one minute and they ordered their food way before us. Half of my wait was waiting on a waiter and the El Chico wasn't even packed there was probably 10 couples in there with their food already. I am so furious with my wait and won't be coming back!!!! read more

I have enjoyed the Fajita special on Tuesday.nights countless times. Maybe it was just me I thought when I asked our waitress, at our visit tonight, if the special had been reduced to the size of a lunch portion. Her reply was that there was portion control. Didnt sound right so I took a tour around the restaurant and it appeared without a doubt that portion control was not the reason our order was so pitiful. The inconsistency was evident as other diners received more than adequate portions. Disgusted we left without notifying the manager who was nowhere to be found....Tasted good....but not worth it like it used to be. read more

Went there tonight with my family. We got to the front and the man who seats people was hitting on some girl at the front stand and did not even acknowledge we were there. After about 5-8 min. we got up and left. When he saw us leaving he just looked at us and walked away without saying anything. We went to another mexican place and got seated immeditaly. Will not go there again. read more

I recently went to the El Chico in Rockwall and ordered the Chicken Monterrey Dinner. I was completely disgusted by the presentation of this meal. The description was completely misleading. First of all, the "grilled" chicken" was charred as to be almost unpalatable (I was only able to eat the center of the cut). The sauteed vegetables were served in a soupy, globby mess of a sauce. The plate looked like someone had cleaned out the fridge and used leftovers on the plate. The only item that was edlible was the bowl of charro beans. I would have sent the meal back to the kitchen, but I was afraid of what might happen in the kitchen if I did. The new decor is boring and lackluster and the food seems to be following in the same mold. (I was forced to give this a star rating--I think even one star is too high.) read more

Average Mexican food...not the greatest and not the worst. Service is a 1 star. Waited on the food, limes, and salt. Waiter was out of it. Only good thing was lunch portions are better than the dinner. read more

Good food. The waiters and waitresses are friendly and very attentive. On Sundays if you bring a church bulletin you can get a discount on your bill. 5 stars here! read more

Food tastes great and gets here real quick. Probably the best Tex-Mex restaurant I've been to in a while.

We went to El Chico because we hadn't been to one in years. The service was exceptional and so was the food. The restaurant was clean and the decor was very pretty. Live trees growing in the center of the restaurant. When we're in the area we'll eat there again. read more

This place by far has the best fajitas and enchiladas in Rockwall. I judge a TexMex resataurant by it's chicken enchiladas, queso, chips, sauce and fajitas. Hands down this place is the best. Service is always top notch. read more

I love good tex-mex. El Chico delivered.

I have eaten at El Chico's for over 30 years. I love the addition of the variety of tacos that they offer. Rockwall has great service plus the best homemade tortillas. When I want Mexican food, there is no better place. It rocks. read more

Always dependable and good service. Not best Mexican food in town, but no real complaints.

Been here lots of times, Juan is our fave waiter. We r regulars and recognized by the staff. Good hot food and easy in and out most of the times. If anything is wrong they make it right and apologize. read more

Great place to come! Good food, not pricey. Love the ambience.

Love to eat here and usually service is great but today was so SLOW!!! Food wasn't as good as normal. Not coming back any time soon.

Best Food on this side of town. I have been to many tex-mex places in the Rockwall are and by far El Chico delivered!! The food was very tasteful and the service was great. I went in there with my four kids last night and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they have kids eat for free per adult entree on Thursdays. The staff was very friendly, Anna our server was super friendly. The manager came over to check on us and we had a good laugh! I felt at home. I will definitely be back.!!! read more

I've never been a fan of chain restaurants but El Chico has legitimately good food with good service. I've honestly never had a bad meal there. I love the guacamole that they make tableside. read more

Love El Chico's, took my daughter there for her 18th birthday and she ordered the Quesadilla Salas and it was great. I decided to try the new chopped salad. It came out dry, had no bacon on it, a few pieces of corn and tomato. Had to ask for the dressing. Horrible excuse for a salad especially for $10.00. Me and my daughter both at salads and both had soda, it was 25.83, what a waste of money. Waitress was lacking. Did not check on us for some time after our food was delivered. Almost sent it back which never happens for me. Next time I will stick to the enchiladas. read more

well I usually go on wednesdays , I usually sit at the bar (although I drink water) and I usually order the same thing , Cheese & Onion Enchiladas , rice , and charro beans (pinto beans in a bowl , really good pinto beans) ... anyway , Juan and Mary Ann the bartenders are good workers , fast and helpful , the food is really good especially for the special price on wednesdays , and I'm always full when i leave !!!!! lol .... Sure beats that Blue Goose I ate at today in Plano !!!! See ya NEXT wednesday Juan !!!! lol ..... Their Charro Beans are killer , better than i can make at home , BEST "restaurant bowl of beans" I've had , and everything else tastes good too .... I used to eat El Chico Chicken Enchiladas w Sour Cream , use to love those , but they've gotten a little "not so great" the last few years ... Used to be the best chicken enchiladas anywhere , but those days are gone I guess .... pity , hard to find good chicken enchiladas nowdays (with that good shredded chicken meat and great sour cream sauce) read more

Holiday shopping is hectic as we all know, so I decided to run into El Chico to have a beer and ended up eating. It was an awesome experience. A lady named Christina seated us and our waiter was Ocscar. I had chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce and had chips, salsa was awesome not for sure what all was in it but it was good. I think I will ask next time for the recipe. Oscar asked me how my day was. I thought that was great for my waiter to ask how my day was never had that before. He was very incentive to what we needed. Christina, I think she was the manager that evening. Well any way she asked how everything was. I told her it was awesome even told her she had a good waiter. I really never had a guy wait on me before so I want to think El Chico for hiring good waiters. I will go back again and again cause I loved the service I got and the atmosphere was awesome. Want to give thanks to the great service. Mrs, Tommy Watkins. read more
