I first went to an El Chico when I was a kid in the 1970s. It was one of the early Mexican food chain. For many years it defined what I thought Mexican food should taste like. I went to this El Chico somewhat out of nostalgia. While there are now many other styles to choose from, eating here brought back the taste memory of my youth and I loved it! I got the “South of the Border Combo” which includes a beef enchilada, chicken enchilada and chicken taco. I enjoyed every item.

Wow… what a disappointment… grew up eating ElChico…I don’t know if food quality got worse or my taste improved. Seems like one step above frozen tv dinner. Started with 3 for 2 meal…. ordered Chicken Jalapeño poppers… its some weird mush of chicken and Jalapeño….odd thing is you’re sharing so the amount.. in my mind should be 2 equal portions, but no its 5 poppers.

I signed up for their newsletter/promotions emails and was nicely rewarded with a BOGO entree offer. That made me excited to go and see if I could find a new favorite dish!

The food was excellent . It sits on the outside of the mall but you don’t get the mall feeling in the restaurant.

It was very nice and i just love the lady that cleans up the food off the table! I know this is super off topic but she would talk to us she was nice and I think she deserves more money than she gets because she is very good at cleaning and very nice to the customers so this is to the owner, tell that woman I was the child with my father and mexican grandmother! I think this place deserves 5 stars! Also i got cheese quesadillas.

Had three cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, a tequila sunrise, and chips and salsa. The tequila sunrise was ok, probably would have been better if I ordered a different tequila instead of the cheap stuff. Cheese enchiladas were a bit spicy, but I don’t tolerate spice too well. Everything else was spot on! Staff was super friendly too, which is always a plus and a factor if I return at a restaurant again. Would eat here again.

Okay, honestly… the food is decent. It’s just that, the rice tasted so off-putting. I could not for the life of me figured out what the bad taste was but could only compare it to a wet grass smell or dirt or you taste some really weird sink water. It just tasted horrible. Other than that, their sopa pías are bomb.

I usually get there fajitas I love the beef they use a good cut of beef it has a great taste. And the red sauce is pretty great too. The service is always fast and friendly. I have only run across a few bad waiters or waitress but they never last.
