Hands down the best restaurant in Lake Elsinore. I’ve been eating at El Unico for years, before the pandemic and glad they were able to reopen after the pandemic. Great family owned local business with amazing food.

First time visiting. Red chilaquiles were delicious, came with rice and beans. The beans and chilaquiles were almost like my moms, the only thing missing were the freshly diced onions on the chilaquiles. The rice was okay. No refills on drinks, served canned soda. No indoor seating and it was cold and damp today. Sat outdoors in patio area which was very nice. In the summer I’m sure it’s lovely but today, not so much. The restaurant shares bathrooms with the park that is right behind it. There’s no hot water and air blower to try and dry your hands. I thought that was a little strange but oh well. I’m going to visit again and try something different from off of the menu. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes Mexican food. The prices were reasonable too.

Something wrong with that one star review. We have ordered from here at least a dozen times and the food is excellent and portions are generous. Maybe they were looking for American Mexican food (Taco Bell).

I’ve been a fan of El Unico for many years! I was so glad to see they reopened so I could eat my favorite tacos again and have my boyfriend try it! We went for dinner. He loved the patio! We ordered fish, shrimp and carnitas tacos and french fries. The tacos were so tasty! I’ve never had the carnitas there. It was so fresh! After we ate I asked him if he’d like to come back. He replied “Yea! I want to try more!” I showed him the menu and he was excited to try several different tacos next time! We will be back!

Highly recommend. We got the Shrimp Ceviche Tostada, make your own tacos (asada and carnitas, half pound each), and pistachio cake. Very dog friendly. In fact, our dog got the protein dinner and they gave him a bowl of water. The outdoor seating was so nice and lovely! All the food were delicious! The service was great even if it technically wasn’t a sit in restaurant. On top of that, the food was super cheap for the quality and quantity we got. Definitely going back.

Food was very good and service fast. Outside sitting just beware that there are lots of mosquitoes due to season. Other than that they offer you fans to use to make sure flies are not on the food
