Our first visit here. We had an excellent experience a very friendly server who helped us both decide on selections. We had requested a spicy or salsa and she suggested the green Verde sauce, which was outstanding. We did not know there was an extra charge for it, which I believe was only $.95 but it was worth it. Both of our meals came out hot and were absolutely delicious. It was a very homey cozy style restaurant with a separate door for pick up orders. We will certainly be back and be trying different items on the menu really can't say enough about the service here. It was just absolutely wonderful. read more

I ordered a burrito, chips and salsa for pick up. Everything was delicious!!! Thank you!!!!

THE BEST ASADA FRIES in town! Hands down, we have been obsessed with them since we moved here. My daughter loves

Last week my coworker said her beans tasted sour and yesterday I ordered the grilled corn tortilla tacos. I thought I bit into glass but it ended up being a tiny rock. Almost cracked a tooth. I know stuff happens and things aren't always perfect back in kitchens but a ROCK!! I'm done.. never again read more

El Norteno 2 - A tiny rock - Mexican Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

Me and my husbands go to spot at LEAST once a week! Maybe more lol I love their enchiladas,breakfast burritos and the nachos! Yum! read more

Great food! One of my favorite places to eat in Wichita Falls. I usually eat there at least once a week. The burritos are HUGE and worth the price! read more

Food is good when they make it right last couple times I have called in or went in to order they always mess up potatoes are hard half the time. read more

Food is good, can never get an order right though. That last three times I've ordered here the order was either wrong or the bacon was very undercooked. read more

The service is some of the most disrespectful service I have ever recieved. I recommend going somewhere else because the waitresses complain and are rude. I was not served by a waitress because I don't "tip". Why would I tip when the service is absolutely terrible. I've had Mary and Kennedy the past two times and I can say they need to be fired immediately. I have never not been checked on because I looked like I wouldn't tip. Absolutely terrible do better El Norteno 2. Male workers are probably the best thing about this place. read more

We ordered our usual, House plate number 3, on Door dash. My first complaint is the take out containers. The guisada leaked all over everything in the bag. I know they have deli containers with lids because they use those for their salsa.My second complaint is the stale chips. All were stale and some were very dark, almost burned. The guisada was awful. Gristle and fat pieces. One piece of meat that a round tube thought it clearly visible, a vein perhaps? I don't know. It literally turned my stomach. Fed most of this meal to my dog. Refried beans were cold and the fried potatoes were cold too. For reference I live about about 100 yards away from this restaurant. So disappointed in the food quality today. I wish I had taken a photo but I was too busy trying not to throw up. read more

El Norteño 2 is superior to El Norteño 1. You won't be disappointed by anything on the menu- my personal favorites are the Breakfast Supreme Burrito and any combination of Quesadillas you like best. read more

The food was okay but service was tough. The chips were hilariously over salted. Our server acted like we were crazy for wanting chips that weren't ridiculously salty. When I asked for the checks the server brought them to the table. We sat around waiting for 10 minutes for the server to come collect our cards, but she was looking at her phone with the other servers in the corner. Eventually I brought her the credit cards at which point she said, "You pay up front, as always man." At which point I informed her we'd never been there before. I'd give this place a 4* if that girl had been better at her job and thought more carefully about the way she's coming off to customers. read more

Manager Manny is absolutely the best server I've ever had and I hope he stays here at El Norteno 2 for life.

The food was very tasty and delicious. The service was very will timed mannered and asked plenty of questions to what our needs were. Overall atmosphere felt very cozy and comfortable. I'll definitely will bring back my family for breakfast read more

I ordered the burrito stuffed with a beef chili relleno. It was very delicious! The chips and salsa were very good too! The service was excellent. I strongly recommend that if any is traveling through Wichita Falls, Texas to try El Norteno! read more

I walked in and the place was a disaster dirty tables, everywhere The service was horrible the lady didn't act like she knew anything I explain to her exactly what I wanted when it came out it wasn't anything that I ordered. The food is horrible. The homemade chips tasted like they left them in grease to long and they were Chewie Their homemade tortillas are thick and clumsy The burrito that she brought me was nothing but tortilla the queso isn't worth the amount they charge for it I will not be coming back and anyone who's thinking about coming here I would think twice I would go to the Mexican restaurant down the road. I'm sure it's better read more

Always amazing! Taste like my grandmas food! One of our favorite authentic Mexican food restaurants in town!

I started eating at El Norteno 2 when I was a night nurse. I don't like "breakfast food", and this restaurant would serve me green chile chicken enchiladas with refried beans and Spanish rice... at 7 am. Restaurant is ALWAYS busy, service is average. Interior is bright, with cafe tables and chairs. read more

The food is always good. This time we ordered and paid for 10 burritos and only had 9 in the bag. When I tried to call to get it fixed the phone was on a perpetual hold and I never was able to get through to a real person to let them know about the error. read more

I love this place! It's very close to my job. They are a bit militant, but I respect order! My only complaint is that they are stingy with their hot sauce. Otherwise, food is great! Fresh. Never tastes old. It equals two meals (talking about the burrito) . Glad they are near!!! read more

This was not memorable at all for me. Food was similar to every other small family owned mexican style restaurant I've ever been to. Fine, but that's it. Food came out quick. Chips and salsa get all the credit. Basically, it's not "fun" go to. The cafe style dining, sticky everything, flashy dated decor. Not an ideal lunch date spot. It's a place you can go eat by yourself and it looks normal. Like a sandwich shop. read more

Food is authentic Mexican and the portions are big. Definitely worth a shot if you're looking for great food.

Food was made wrong and owner came out and said he wouldn't remake it because everything is made with no egg. Terrible service. Won't ever eat here again read more

Great food...we even eat breakfast at El Norteno. The breakfast quesadillas are awesome!

I will pick El Norteno for breakfast 9 out of 10 times. Today they let me down. I ordered a breakfast combo burrito for carry out, with ham, eggs, beans and added (and paid extra for) rice, cheese, and sour cream. However, they failed to add the rice, and refried beans were a little firm, not fully cooked before mashing them. The rest was tasty, I'm just disappointed it wasn't what I paid for. read more

well one word ! Disgusting ! spoiled lettuce and tomatoes sour to the taste. Bad quality of ground beef,runny nasty beans and the flavor of the food had a dish soap taste to it . I am very disappointed in this place. 30.00 dollars thrown away for tasteless sour food. Plain nasty. I will never go back read more

The food is great. The service is the worst in town. We had a party of seven. Six open tables but had to wait another half hour because they cannot push two tables together. read more

We are from central Texas. It's been hard to find a good breakfast taco here. They call them burritos up here. This place has the best. Very large tortilla with lots of filling. So good, especially with their sauce on top read more

Not near the same quality as the original downtown. I'm always disappointed when I go to this location. While it is more convenient in the middle of town it's not worth it. Go to the one downtown it's way better and the food there is amazing. read more

We had menudo and breakfast burritos. The breakfast burritos were huge and super cheap, but with lots of potato, not much egg, and hardly any bacon. The menudo was perfectly seasoned with a rich broth and lots of meat, but it was also very fatty (see picture) with lots of floating bits that even people who like menudo would not find appetizing. Service was unenthusiastic, to say the least. On the plus side, portions were huge and the freshly made tortillas were excellent - both flour and corn. read more

I ordered A shrimp cocktail for lunch and found out that the shrimp had the tale on all. The last time I ordered we're all peeled which makes it easier to eat. The flavor still was good. My recommendation is that shrimp should be peeled in cocktails. read more

What a great restaurant! Generous and well prepared portions, exceedingly fresh and mouth watering ingredients. The staff is great, and the chef's crew is outstanding. When I go to an eatery I am there to eat, not to critique the ambiance, or the decor. I go to have my appetite whetted and fed, and this place more than accomplishes that job in a spectacular manner. There are some franchise Mexican restaurants in this town, as well as Tex-Mex. They have a food truck as well, and it is mt GO TO for Breakfast Burritos. The Bacon, Chorizo, Pico de gallo with Queso and potatoes are very filling, and for a great price. My stomach is full, and my wallet is not empty. That's a great bargain. Muchas Gracias mi Amigos! Su comida esta muy delicioso! read more

Lunch at 12 this Saturday. Place was dirty, help seemed to be disoriented and service was marginal. Had to ask for eating utensils and refills on drinks. Requested a salad plate for my chips. Never received. Food was cold and way too salty. Local paper gave it 5 forks. Just a terrible lunch. When asked how was lunch, paying bill, I told the women my concerns and she immediately broke eye contact, no further concerns. Got my change and will never return. read more

Waited 55 minutes for a table for 7. With numerous empty tables. They refused to put tables together because "they are in two different waiters sections". They said they were waiting on one table to be emptied to put it with an empty table - when the table emptied the sloth like table bussers started cleaning a table that had seated 12 rather than the one that had 3......long story short.....it sucked. Food was mediocre. Waitress was good. 2 hours after we walked in - we walked out happy to say we will never return. read more

Heard good things about this place and figured it was time to give it a try. It's located in a shopping plaza very easy to get to with plenty of parking. Well I've never had grilled tacos before and that's what I've been told is the food to eat. So I gave it a try and it was excellent. You get large portions and the food is priced very reasonably. They have a green verde sauce that's amazing its hot and spicy but amazing. I will be returning again to try other items on the menu. read more

2 stars, because nice staff. If it was just based on the food, it would definitely be 1. I gave this place another chance today, after ordering their quesadilla the other day. At the moment, I am feeling sick to my stomach and nautious after having the super nachos. The meat on both entrees are horrible tasting, as if they're recycled/old, or not real meat. While eating the nachos, I had that feeling that I could possible be sick later, so I stopped eating it. I wanted to try this place out because someone recommended it to me, saying it was authentic Mexican food, and good. That person has a low bar for good food. It was not only bad meat, but the cheese was the cheap, shredded kind that you buy in bulk, and both platters I tried literally had a pool of grease under all the food (not the normal amount with Mexican food). Needles to say, I won't be returning. All roads lead back to El Tapatio! :) read more

Coming from Cali I had high expectations, but every expectation was meet and surpassed during my stay here. The asada, flautas, tortillas, and horchata were all delicious. It won't be long until they recognize me here. read more

A bright and shining star in an overall dim and sullen village. Visits to EN2 are always the high-point of my forced visits to The Falls. The menudo is first rate. read more

The service is horrible. Waited over 25 minutes for a check and the waitresses refused to clean off one of the eight dirty tables for a line of 10 people waiting at the door. The food was great, I just wish the service matched the good food. Update: I have come back a few times since my first review, and I've definitely had better service. I guess I may have come on an off day or something, but I'm glad the service is starting to improve, and I feel like it's starting to match the great food for an incredible value. read more

This restaurant was actually OK but the problem I had was with the salsa it was way too hot I couldn't even eat a whole chip with salsa on it it was burning my mouth and I have eaten Mexican food my whole life so I think if they would maybe offer a mild salsa that would help out a lot read more
