The grilled Chicken with salad (very little tomato, onion and avocado) needed some flavor, again no salsa. The refried beans were excellent. The fajitas needed salsa and sour cream, and guacamole would've been nice (even a little). The waitress was pleasant.

The red "salsa" was so watered down it was thinner than V8 and had no taste. It's like someone dumped a cup of tomato sauce in a gallon of water and stirred in some chili powder for kick. Seriously, buy some hamburger, a box of Old El Paso taco mix and it'll be 10 times more flavorful than the food here. The manager needs to hire a new/better cook.

This was our third visit to El Familiar. Today was Father's Day 2026…read more First, my daughter had made reservations for 15. They didn't hesitate. We showed up at 12:30 pm. We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.

It's not the kind of spot you'd notice just walking by, but clearly people know about it. Loved the vibes too, crowd was a great mix of ages and the whole place just felt inviting.

Staff were super friendly too, quick with suggestions whenever we needed them and kept checking in on our group to make sure everyone was taken care of. Definitely would go back for some more.
