I took my party of 15 to El Mexicano in Denville for my wife’s birthday. It was my first time going to the restaurant. The decore is cheeky Mexican and full of various Mexican paraphernalia. They accommodated us into a semi private area off to the side. It was more that spacious to seat all of us.

Great food, very reasonably priced! My friend and I enjoyed a couple meals for under $30 total. I ordered the four taco meal, and my friend got the chicken quesadilla. Both meals came out very quickly, and even though we took our time we were easily done in less than an hour. Had we been in a rush, we could have been done in about 20 or 30 minutes (we arrived at 1:00 which is just after the typical lunch rush).

The food was immaculate, I ordered the fried quesadillas with shredded chicken and no lettuce. I will definitely be returning with some friends, but I do feel like the environment itself could be adjusted, with the music being a little too low for my liking, personally. The service was straightforward, and I enjoyed that aspect about it. Overall, a great experience and worth visiting again.

Very nice food with very good service. Food is savory and tasty. I gave 4 stars only because the menu is typical of most Mexican restaurants that offers standard fare. Try the tex-mex and enoy.

My clients wanted Mexican for lunch so they picked this place for lunch. They called in all the orders and I picked it up. When I got the items things started to spill and didn’t get better when I left. I ordered the shrimp fajita lunch special and it came with a drink. When I got in the platter was jumbled because it spilled a bit. I dug in and the fajitas were just ok. I wasn’t feeling the flavors. The rice was the best part of the dish. All in all I had a decent experience.

My chum and I impulsively decided to mosey over here for an early lunch this past Friday. Neither one of us had been to Denville in ages, though I definitely remember frequenting Carver’s next door back in the day. The interior has a Mexican kitschy vibe – a lot of bright colors and festive decorations all over the place. The place was pretty empty when we got there, and we had our pick of seating options; my chum is used to the finer things in life and immediately went for one of the booths.

I’m tempted to tell people not to come here out of greediness. We don’t want people finding this gem. We’ve eaten here multiple times and the food keeps getting better and better. Why people aren’t lined up out the door is perplexing. Every dish has been excellent; it’s all so fresh and flavorful that we can’t pick a favorite. Service has always been great. We’ll see you there soon!

Fabulous! We ordered the catering menu’s taco bar for a teacher luncheon at my school. Easy to order, on time delivery, set up. Plenty of plates, utensils and serving utensils. The food was amazing. We will definitely be getting this luncheon option again. I highly recommend El Mejicano. It is also one of my family’s go to dinner spots for dine in or take out.

They never disappoint. My family and I have eaten here many times and we are always happy. We just recently had a surprise 40th here for a family member and Jesus was great at helping us make everything they way we wanted. From the shrimp to the stake, it was all delicious!!!

Been here before. Usually good! Came for Cinco De Mayo (5 people), noticed they were understaffed but they were hustling. Also no music on at all. We ordered a margarita pitcher and food. Nothing special. We waited an hour for our food that never came. They lost our order. Management made our wonderful waitress come and break the news to us. The manager let us leave with out an apology. Shocked by this I went back in to have a chat with him. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED. We like the food there also, please learn from this management and give that nice young girl a raise!
