1.9.26 My friend and I are "eating the alphabet" so the was our "E" restaurant. Plenty of parking in the little strip mall. They have booths, tables and a bar area. Nice warm chips and salsa served quickly. My friend had a margarita (looked great) and a chicken quesadilla. I had the lunch special pick two Chile relleno and chicken quesadilla, which is also served with beans and rice. Everything was very tasty and my lunch, soda and 20% tip was only $18 total. #yum #ReviewsByRL read more

Always on the look out for a new place so used Yelp search. This place is in a small shopping area so plenty of parking places. They have a few tables outside. I sat at the bar, it has 6-8 seats. I had a mango frozen margarita, it was delicious I had brain freeze more than once! The pork tamale with masa was the best I've had at a restaurant. Of course there were chips and salsa as I sat down. The margarita choices were impressive. I left Very satisfied! read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner with some pals and this was was pretty great! The audio was fresh and hot, and our beers were nice and cold. The service was okay. Loved the food and all the options! What I didn't love was the margarita being super weak. No reason the 40 oz margarita only tastes like juice and not alcohol. read more

We love this place! Very friendly service, (& usually fairly quick), a nice atmosphere, & the food is always wonderful!...Oh, & they are also good about allowing for special requests! I really appreciate that, because I like to add pineapple to my pork tacos and they are always very happy to accommodate me, & without acting upset about it! read more

Every single time we've been to this place. They never get the order correct. The last time we were in to pick up a carry out order my wife was told by the manager "You Call In every time and tell us we messed up the order". We are not going to give you any credit towards what is missing". Bad service, food is OK, but more expensive than any other Mexican place within 10 miles!!! read more

I mean it was good but this was my "steak quesadilla". A little confused because it was the size of a literal taco. read more

Great local Mexican cuisine. Reasonably priced, tasty, quick service. Clean facility. Most of the staff has been there for years and are very friendly. Plus they are super generous with the chips/salsa, rice/beans and portions (I honestly think its less expensive for the amount you get than the leading fast-food corporate chain) read more

Stopped in here with a group of 9. We stopped in at 500 and my 530 it was very busy and 600pm there was a wait. Great option for groups. The salsa is very good and has a Smokey spice. The Mexican bowels are good and large Margs are perfect! read more

Service was terrible, Food was mediocre at best, Wont be back Not sure what else can be said

My wife and I stopped by after church for some good Mexican food, and El Lago did not disappoint. Wife had the Steak bowl and I chose the shrimp salad. Both were excellent. The steak was especially tender and tasty and I enjoyed the the shrimp salad greatly. The avocado special appetizer was wonderful. Excellent service and perfect ambience. Great quality. Our favorite Mexican restaurant for sure. read more

El Lago is my family's favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Fishers! We come here for dinner at least once a week, and the menu is so extensive that all four of us can get something different every time, without repeats. El Lago also has some of the nicest staff members who are very welcoming to customers and attentive to their needs during the meal. El Lago is best known for their flavored margaritas and cocktails, they also offer a pretty good selection of soft drinks. Most of the Mexican restaurants in our area serve Pepsi, but El Lago has Coke products (much to my Diet Coke-loving family's delight!) My family starts off every meal at El Lago with their signature chips and salsa, as well as a bowl of queso to share. The chips are always served hot, which I appreciate. I also love that each person at the table gets their own salsa bowl, which makes the dining experience much less messy and more convenient. Speaking of the salsa, it is probably the best salsa within a 10-mile radius! It's light, but the chunks of tomato and onion keep it from feeling "watery", and it has a touch of spice that isn't completely overpowering. My favorite part is that every vegetable and herb in the salsa tastes fresh, and of course the chips make a perfect vessel! The queso is pretty standard in terms of flavor, but it's very thin and does not stick to the chip. My sister's favorite dish is the arroz con pollo, which is served with a side of tortillas. The idea is that customers can make their own soft tacos using the rice, chicken, and queso mixture, but it tastes pretty delicious by the spoonful as well! Tonight, I had the chicken soft tacos, and I was really impressed with how flavorful and juicy the chicken was. I loaded my tacos up with cheese, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and salsa, creating the perfect balance of flavors. My mother usually enjoys the El Lago flautas, which are kind of like hard tacos rolled into a "tube" of sorts. They are served with guacamole, tomatoes, and lettuce. El Lago never disappoints, and it is the perfect place to enjoy a weekend dinner with the "familia!" read more

El Lago Mexican Restaurant - Combo: beef burrito, pork tamale, rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

I've been going to El Lago for years! I've never had a single complaint about the salsa and chips, the food , or the drinks. Every once in awhile yes they are busy and may be taking care of other customers which may put you to the side for a few minutes . I feel like that can be normal sometimes . I've been there when it's busy and I've been there when it's slower. Nonetheless I have never had a bad experience to where I've ever felt like I cannot come back. I believe this type of restaurant is the backbone of the type of restaurant you want in your neighborhood . I fully support them and I hope they always are here to provide great service and an atmosphere for your family to eat . read more

It's a great spot for weekday quick dinner with family. Parking is convenient since it's located in a strip mall. Staffs are attentive and food comes out pretty fast. Food is overall good but their skinny margarita is excellent. read more

We dined at El Lago last evening for an early dinner and I think we've found our new favorite local Mexican restaurant! We shared a variety of items which were all fresh and delicious: Guacamole El Lago, Arroz con Pollo and Tamales. I can also recommend the Margarita Texana while enjoying the complimentary chips and salsa! We really appreciated the welcoming and friendly service. You just can't ask for more than attentive service and tasty food in a nice, clean environment. On this visit we dined at the bar, but we're looking forward to enjoying their outdoor seating on our next visit! read more

Recommended to us by a friend and all I got to say is this - THE BEST I'VE had in a longtime! Food, substantial portions, service was very good, and the margaritas were phenomenal! Place was busy for a Wednesday but not too crowded, everyone was having a good time too! I will be going back for my monthly Mexican night out with my wife...Thanks! read more

The food is fabulous!! We go at least once a week. We went last night and the service was beyond awful. There was a party 11 of us. It took forever to get our drinks (mostly water) a couple of beers. Then forever to place our order. The place was busy but then the food came out a couple st a time and the kids food was last!! Kids should be served first! All that being said, best Mexican food around!! I'm sure it was just a bad night! read more

I came here with my Parents coming from Florida and I have to say this restaurant was spectacular! There were some downsides like with the chips tasting flavorless (I recommend the Salsa if you're getting chips) and how long the we waited for the food to come out! We sat there for 30 minutes!! We did come on a Friday night so they could've been short staffed or there was too many people. Overall I rated this 4 stars because their steak tacos were amazing!!!! read more

We love El Lago. Been there several times over the years and the food is superb. It's been a go-to for us. However, the service has become untenable and tonight I experienced the peak of bad service. El Lago was short staffed and could not keep up with the flow of customers. That is understandable. It was Labor Day and the crowd was probably bigger than expected. What is not understandable is not greeting people when they enter, informing them of the situation, and estimating a wait. This is base level restaurant stuff and it's incredibly disappointing that El Lago couldn't manage the effort. We eventually left after being totally ignored for 10 minutes. Several others left too. The people in front of us had been waiting for 20 mins and were only given two updates which is how we knew they were short staffed. (They must have REALLY wanted an El Lago fix) Unfortunately I'm left worried that the downward trend in service will ruin the experience to the point it's not worth going any more. The people who left tonight were disappointed but Fishers has a lot of choice and El Lago should be striving to keep their clients. Hoping it gets better soon! read more

Used to be our favorite place we always would invite friends to come. No longer so. Very rude Manager, was a quiet Monday night and they couldn't get our order correct nor were they flexible. Do yourself a favor and check out Verde in downtown Fishers next to target. Exceptional experience every time! read more

Tried this place for the first time. The wet burrito is all you need in your life! Nice area!

I've never regretted coming here it's a hit everytime my wife and I come here every couple months cause it a little far from where we live

Food is good. Service is very slow, Waited over 30 minutes for my order of street tacos. Had to wait for more chips and salsa. Good good. Poor timeliness. read more

Terrible, really terrible. Would not recommend this restaurant versus any other Mexican restaurant in the fishers/McCordsville area. The salsa and the house margarita were not good. The queso was fine. The camarones al mojo de ajo, which is my usual order at Mexican restaurants, was creamy and seemed to be made with jarred minced garlic instead of fresh garlic. Will not be back. read more

My recent to-go order experience at was a testament to their commitment to quality and service. The food is exceptional quality and unique preparation, they save some items for prep until after your arrive which is really nice. From the well-seasoned dishes to their thoughtful customer service, including designated pick up parking and swift resolution of a missing item order mishap, they've secured my loyalty. This place is a must-try for anyone craving delicious Mexican food and outstanding service. read more

Since we live roughly an hour away, I like when a restaurant delivers on taste and service. This was our first visit to this restaurant and my wife and I enjoyed our lunch. We were greeted and because there was so much room inside the two indoor dining rooms (one has the bar) we got to pick our own booth. They offered the scan with your phone menu, but because they have such an extensive menu of ala carte items, we asked if they had printed menus (I carry my own hand sanitizer just in case). Menus made it easy to check out ingredients as well as names and photos...the phone versions are too small for me to see much. Thank you for offering the real menu option. Before long we were able to place our order including my wife's strawberry daquiri. She likes them frozen and said it was good, but just a little tart (sour in her words) and fairly strong in ABV. Didn't stop her from enjoying it! She ordered the lunch Chimichanga with chicken and the tortilla unfried. Seemed tasty. I went with the El Lago Bowl with steak. Nice flavoring on the steak strips and plenty to eat when combined with the rice and avocado and black beans, pico de galo, and sour cream. The steak strips were just a tiny bit dry on their own, but when mixed with everything else, were pretty good! There was a decent sized crowd for a lunch, but because there is so much space, we felt comfortable dining inside. While there, take time to notice the beautiful wall mural by Nekoda Witsken in the dining room (non bar area). We are not in the Geist area often, but I would gladly return to El Lago (the lake) for lunch or dinner. Review #3878 read more

Update of previous review. This time they had beer on tap, which seemed to surprise the waiter! The last time they didn't have any beer on tap, so that is an improvement. Limited choice to just Bud Light, but close enough. The last time I was here they didn't have ANY pork left for any pork related dishes. I had to order something else. So I marked them down for it, and wondered about the next time I come, if they would even have Chile Verde, or disappoint. SURPRISE! They had Chile Verde with plenty of pork! It wasn't bad, but lacked flavor and heat. Both were solved with some green Habanero sauce! Rice was excellent. Beans good. Red Salsa for chips was bland and very little heat, but still munchable. Chips were crisp and warm; excellent start! Service: They were hustling and very attentive to us needing something. Just like last time; The service could not be beat! read more
