Always great food, prices and service. Welcomed as soon as you walk in and sat immediately. Food is made quite quickly as well. It's not quiet but it's not loud with just the right amount of music and talk. read more

The restaurant is a gem. Very clean (They bus the tables, clean them well sweep under them between each guest) we had the chimichanga with chicken and refried beans and the carnitas tacos. Both were delicious and served hot. Their hot salsa that goes with the chips is so good. The real treat is the staff. So pleasant and attentive wishes we lived closer we would be here more often read more

One foot in the door you realize that you just found a hidden gem. It's almost like you've stepped back in time, when service stood out and people were welcoming and friendly. I'm not kidding... your first time in, you'll feel like a local regular. Food is fantastic and staff is amazing! I give it an eleven!!! read more

Amazing service, the food was magnificent. Chili relleno was perfect. Positive vibe in the restaurant.

The service was quick and we were checked on frequently. Our server was very nice and helpful. Cool vibe in the decor. And the food was good. read more

The service was excellent - speedy and very friendly. I love when staff greets me with " hello my friend " - love that. The quality of the Texas fajitas was fantastic. Because I try to stay as close to Keto as possible, I had to pass on rice, bean, tortilla chips - but the protein and veg was awesome. This is a nice place to visit. Good Job El Tejano. read more

Family friendly, busy little place with great food. Fajitas and quesadilla were great. Kids wanted to make sure that I left a review "My tummy is so full but the food is so good" read more

Walking into El Tejano , I was greeted with such a heartfelt joyful greeting, I thought I was being greeted by my grandmother. That was Rosie, and let me tell you, she is overjoyed to see everyone who comes in or calls. All of the staff, honestly, were happy and attentive. This is the kind of place, I would drive an hour to eat here. Just experience Rosie's joy in my life. "But what about the food?" Everyone gets a basket of fresh fried chips and homemade salsa. I asked for the hot one. It wasn't overly spicy and I loved the fresh flavor! The menu has plenty of the standard options you see In Mexican restaurants, but they also have a few new things. I decided to try the shrimp stew. It was absolutely delicious! The the sauce tasted like it was allowed to simmer long enough to really develop those flavors, and yet the shrimp were tender (not overcooked). The stew was served with seasoned rice and refried beans. It also came with a small crispy tortilla bowl filled with lettuce, fresh guacamole and sour cream. If I'm in the area, I'm definitely going to eat here again! read more

Found a great Mexican Restaurant in Simpsonville. The service, atmosphere, and food were excellent. Rosie is wonderful!

Sitting here now. Brought us our food within 5 minutes of ordering it...no one came back by after that. Got the super dinner and my daughter got the Mexican cheeseburger kids meal. Nothing on it besides the hard shell taco and her fries tasted decent. It was just filled with lettuce beans and tomatoes. There was no pepper in the chile rolleno. The soft shell taco came out cold. The plates were hot but the food was like warm. I'm not sure if they're having an off day because the other reviews are great but I did not enjoy my experience at all. read more

Our favorite place in South Carolina for Mexican food, as authentic as in Mexico. Service is outstanding, friendly, and very very helpful. Place is small but there are two rooms and it's usually full because the food is so darn good! read more

We ate here and were disappointed. They have a hand written sign on the door, when you stop to read it the cashier will bang on the door and rush inside. Just so ya'll are informed... the sign says... There's a 2$ surcharge on all entrees, 1$ surcharge on all appetizers and 1$ surcharge on all sides. They are friendly here and it's a busy place. Maybe they are having supply issues or it was just an off night. I was not impressed with the food. Weird brown gravy on everything, a lot of the same processed cheese on everything. I had a chile Relleno. Which was a pile of gray ground meat mixed with velveeta. No chile, not a chile Relleno. The Stale taco and tostada shells were disappointing. The ground meat was unseasoned and dry. I also had a tamale, which was just a hard lump masa. No meat in it, covered in weird brown gravy. The rice and beans weren't very fresh, hard rice and dry beans. I left almost all my food on the plate and declined a box. I didn't complain, but I really expected someone to ask if it was okay. I wouldn't recommend this place, they don't seem to care about their guests. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant of all time! We eat here weekly and have never been disappointed. From the friendly greeting when you walk in, fast service and delicious food - you can't go wrong! They make you feel like part of their family! read more

I'll start off with the service. Absolutely incredible. Everyone was very friendly and they all worked together. The food and drinks came out extremely quick. The food was delicious. We had fajitas and quesadillas. The store itself was very clean. The only issue we had was the sign on the door that said cash only and we do not carry cash so we went to a machine near by. But it was a fun experience to do with a group of friends read more

Place was packed which is always a good sign. We were seated quickly after a short wait. Wait staff was fast and attentive. Prices were great. Excellent food read more

This is a true family environment the way the staff works together. Been in Simpsonville for probably 20 years. You won't find a nicer person than Rosie. read more

Perfect, rice is awesome, service is incredible, time is amazing. 5/5 would come back.

They lack many Mexican dishes and flavor been there twice and not appealing. We took guests and they didn't like as well. I have tried other Mexican cuisine in the area that are so much better read more

Rosie and her family are the best hosts anywhere I've eaten around this entire country. Service is impeccable, they remember you and that atmosphere makes you feel as though you are part of their family. Their food is amazing and consistent. Coldest 32oz XX Amber on tap anywhere I've been. One of the few places around and proprietors around that is grateful for their patrons and the community is loyal to them in return. Also has huge selection of tequilas and more read more

Great food, great prices, fast service and super friendly staff!! They make you feel like you are family. Highly recommend.

the salsa was the only good thing. The meat had definitely been pre cooked and warmed up! on top of the warmed up meat there was absolutely no seasoning on the fajitas. very disappointed read more

Sangria good. Unsure if it was the one with or without alcohol. Jumbo House Margarita. Should have asked how big the jumbo is. I'd say at least 32oz if not 40oz. You could tell it was a mix with some alcohol. Kinda tart. Shrimp: garlicky. Which was good. Beans had no flavor. Overall a good dish. I will return if in the area again. read more

I'm incredibly impressed with El Tejano! We allotted an hour & 30 mins to eat dinner to make sure we had time for hour movie. We got seated within 30 seconds and got chips, our drinks, and our ordered in within 3 minutes. We got our food within 20 minutes.i am kidding you not, a table of 5 got up and by the time they were out the door the employees had the table clean. The restaurant was super clean too! The service was the best service I've ever received at a restaurant. Not to mention... ROSIE! She's amazing. A literal diamond of a human with a smile that's infectious. Will be back! read more

Ate here last night! Service was very fast and on point! Chicken enchiladas were very good and so much chicken. The wife had chicken fajitas and plenty leftover. A little pricey but really tasty read more

Usually love this place But not today Didn't get the chimichanga I ordered The cheese wasn't hot and it was chunky Chips tasted like old grease. Might be awhile before I'm able to come back. Gotta wait till the bad taste in my mouth is gone. Love the lady on the phone and front of restaurant but the food today was pretty bad. Please change the grease you are using to fry the chips, they tasted foul today. read more

Kind, friendly and attentive service, outstanding food, very reasonable prices! This was our first visit, after completing a number of errands. This will become one of our "go-to" restaurants. read more

My wife and I have been here numerous times in our 30-ish years in Simpsonville. Never had a bad experience. The food is always great and the staff is very friendly. I'd like to post some images of the dishes I've had but I don't realize until I've finished eating that I didn't get a picture. Oh well, that just gives me more reasons to come back. read more

Excellent service, probably the best service I've had in a couple of years. Very friendly and attentive to our needs. Party of 4 , we had queso & guac for appetizers plus the free chips and salsa they place on the table as you sit down. We had fajitas & burritos, tea water and margaritas. Everything was good and i would go back 100% just because of the sweet lady that greeted us and the service we received. The Restuarant is a step above a taqueria, casual, average noise, definitely crowded. This place was hopping with locals, most families that who had children hugged the hostess and she treated them so kind and was thankful to see them again. A rare find, go visit this place and you'll agree. read more

Made a first visit based on high recommendations from our fellow Yelpers. Food was good, but we received entrees In piecemeal fashion. Ordered fajitas and received the rice and beans, waited 10 minutes and the fajitas arrived. 15 minutes later the store bought tortillas arrived fresh off the freezer shelf. WTF! When I inquired, the response was "the chef got backed up". There were only three tables seated in the whole place. I let my frustration be known. But do you think these folks would acknowledge the less than stellar service or try to make things right? No way. Their attitude; "We don't care if you like the service or not". I proudly award this place 2 stars. And that's being generous. read more
