    Item number 1 on the lunch menu.  Wonderful.
    Gene H.

    Friendly, fun, good Mexican food, always leave happy ...what more do you expect? Been eating here for years and should have reviewed a long time ago. Hint, item number 1 on the lunch menu is wonderful.

    Hard shell tacos

    Nice hideaway spot, BUT it's not worth finding! The chips were stale and the sauce was spicy with very little taste. They brought a the wrong beef burrito but did change it out quickly BUT I wish they would have just kept it. It was so bad I only ate 1 bite. When the waiter saw that I hadn't eaten it, he just took it away and said nothing! What a waste of money! The chicken tocos were ok at best. I'm sorry to say that I will NOT be back! I was hoping to find a nice Mexican restaurant close to home. NOT TONIGHT!

    Food was delicious, service was excellent, and ambiance was fine. I would definitely recommend El Mexican Restaurant.

    Good food and fast service. We had fajitas, and a Mexican chicken quesadilla . Both were very tasty. Salsa is a little hot but we liked it.

    Food was very bland including the salsa. I had the taco enchilada and chalupa plate. I will probably not go back.

    The food, service, and Margs were great! Gringo tacos with the special margarita. If you're looking…read morefor nachos with cheese only, just order chips and queso

    The place was busy on a Saturday at 600 but on our first visit, it was below average. We watched a…read moreguy at a table outside up and leave as no one seemed to be helping him. Our waitress blamed the kitchen for every mishap. One mistake, ok two mistakes and more, not buying it. We tried ordering drinks but our waitress had no idea what kind of wine they sold so she had to go check. When she returned we ordered drinks and when the drinks showed up we ordered the small beef and cheese dip, they also brought chips and salsa that was very tasty. She ordered a fahita steak quesadilla, she said it was very salty and average at best. I had the enchilada supreme with no sour cream, I was very clear and even said it twice. Our meals showed up before our "starter" beef and cheese dip. Mine had sourcream on it so I asked them to fix it as ordered. Next the dip showed up and the cheese had a thick skin over top of the cheese, it too was average. My enchilada showed up and it appeared they scraped off the sour cream and re applied the lettuce, etc. The problem is by then, the enchiladas were not very hot and the fries were soggy, luke warm and not crispy. The manager did come over and asked about our meal, I replied it was just ok, that was as nice as I could be. He offered to make it good on our next visit, I told him not to do so, he said he could fix it, but our meal was over at this point. We will likely try other mexican restaurants in the area before we attempt to come back to give them another chance. On any day a restaurant can fail.
