    Great Mexican food and atmosphere! I started coming here during my move to Texas back in 2008. I first has the Stuffed Avocado which is stuffed with fajitas meat and cheese and then deep fried...yum! It does take long to prepare to be ready to wait a bit. Don't worry, while you wait there will be hot tortilla chips with free salsa (green or red). And don't even think about your drink, it will be refilled again and again before you know it. Prompt wait staff and kitchen make this place one of the best local Mexican Restaurants in this part of Texas. My family's favorite items to order: Burrito Verde Kids quesadilla Fajitas any stlye Stuffed Avocado 3 Tacos meal

    Found in received beans

    We love El Bosque and have loved it for a long time. But today one of us found a pushpin in the beans. I called, and they apologized and refunded that one meal. I know things happen, but this is a pretty big thing. Thankfully no one was hurt.

    Pina colada! Yum!

    Wonderful service! Staff is very attentive. Great food that is ready fast! Salsa served warm, which I love! And great mixed drinks!

    Dinner for four. The Fajitas Pablanas (at bottom (chicken) & also on the left steak)) are delicious!

    Excellent lunch menu, lots of options. The queso is not my favorite because it's just warm cheese but the salsa is pretty tasty.

The Pico de Colibrí was the perfect starter--bright, fresh, with just the right balance of sweet corn, cilantro crema, and cotija cheese. The Costillas de Res con Frijoles Arrieros were incredibly tender and packed with rich, savory flavor, and the hearty black bean stew paired perfectly. The Filete de Pescado Campirana was another standout--the sea bass was flaky and moist, and the tomatillo, serrano, and epazote gave it a delicious, authentic flavor without overpowering the fish. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and every bite was outstanding. We didn't have a single dish that disappointed us. We'll definitely be back!

Everything was even better than expected. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They provided explanations and recommendations. The decor and neat, comfortable and cozy. Finally, the food. Man was it great. We had the Pico appetizer, Jamaica for drinks, the green Chili enchiladas and a shrimp dish. I would order any and all of them again. We also added a half dozen empanadas to go. The apple one was the I only one we tried as we were stuffed! Overall, spectacular experience. Will return and bring others.

The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.
