The quesabirria tacos were the best item I ordered and came with chopped white onions and cilantro. I would definitely try that again. All the enchiladas I ordered were Verde, and they were kind of bland. The meats inside were good, though. I got cabeza, carnitas, and adobada. I had to use salsas from the salsa bar to help with the rest of the enchiladas. Next time I would try the other kinds of enchiladas with different sauce flavors. I didn't like the smoky or spiciest salsas, but the green salsa and mild red salsa taste good enough to drink. I wish I could pack the pickled carrots myself because they're kept in small baggies with only a few inside, and I need a ton of those, especially to make up for not getting free chips.

We walked right into the bar and snagged a table. The restaurant didn't appear to be busy, but the…read morebar was empty. The bartender was quick to bring us chips, salsa and menus. After giving us a few minutes, he came back and took drink orders. Upon delivery, he asked if we were ready to order. We were. The menu is large in size, bright in colors and offers familiar items. The pricing appears to be reasonable and for the most part, is. When the food is delivered, it is also bright in colors, especially with the contrasting colors of shredded lettuce, yellow cheese, red tomatoes, guacamole and sour cream. If we stopped there, I could easily give 5 stars. But we come to eat, and that counts a lot toward the score. I got a combination that came with a Enchilada (I got cheese), Taco (I got hard shell Chile Verde), Tostada (seasoned ground beef) and Chile Relleno. I also paid $4.50 to make my meal "deluxe". That adds one small scoop each of guacamole and sour cream. The Taco was okay but the pork was on the dry side and lacking any fat. The Enchilada was also okay but nothing special. The Tostada was the best item on my plate with the crispy corn tortilla, well-seasoned ground beef and a ton of lettuce, some cheese and diced tomatoes. This is where most of my guac and sour cream got used. Some old timers might remember Taco Bell's Beefy Tostada from days long ago. This was like an upgraded version of that. The Chile Relleno was terrible. Dry, hard cheese, no egg flavor, this made me think of something I might get out of the freezer and put in the microwave. My meal also came with beans and rice. She got a Chile Verde Burrito with a Chile Relleno, no beans, no rice. Her feeling on the Chile Relleno was the same as mine. She ate 1/4 of her burrito and stopped. Inside appeared to be nothing but dry Chile Verde. On top was guac and sour cream. Our friends each got a Tostada. She got Chile Verde and managed to finish 1/2. He got Chicken and finished his meal. For drinks, one of us got a beer, two of us got Diet Pepsi and one got Ice Water. I was not offered a refill on my drink. The portions are reasonable large, but the value is not there. Flavors are not strong. Service was mostly okay but that alone can't carry the meal. My wife and I would not return.

Very disappointing experience. We pointed directly on the menu to a margarita clearly listed at $9,…read moreordered it, and were later charged $15. When we questioned it, staff told us we were supposed to say "special margarita" to get the $9 price--even though we ordered by pointing at the exact item on the menu. That's not how menus work. If a drink is listed at a certain price, customers should be charged that price--no secret wording required. When we asked for the $6 difference refunded, they refused. This felt misleading and unfair. I won't be returning, and I'd caution others to double-check their bill carefully.

It was curious to me why despite paying online for two cubanos with tax & tip, there's an additional service charge. There is also an automatic 8 cents bag charge, despite that I brought my own bag. My focus has always to support local indie businesses whenever possible. I appreciated the time and transparency given with regards to my service charge inquiry. My original online order was cancelled and charged directly instead. This removed the added service fee and the business retained more of the final transaction. Pro tips: *Look at their website to decide what menu items you're interested in. *Avoid food apps which inflate costs and not much return back to El Cubano. *Call El Cubano directly to place your takeout order. 206-629-4443
