We did a group of five on a Sunday evening to check out their margaritas. We sampled three other Mexican restaurants that night and this place had the best margarita in town, by far. The server said they make their mix homemade. Their salsa wasn't the best, but I still can't wait until the next time I'm there so I can try more drinks. The picture shows a small margarita that was $2 and the regular that was $4ish. The table next to us was having a birthday, they did the whipped topping on nose thing while you wear a sombrero. read more

First visit here and our food was really good! Our service was great and the waiter was friendly. Only thing that was odd is we weren't given drink menus. Maybe they forgot? I have enchiladas Leon I think it was called and it had a really unique and tasty poblano pepper sauce. My husband got molcajete and really enjoyed it. read more

Always a safe bet you will enjoy your meal here! My favorite is the street tacos and I always mix it up with steak and pork. Super good! Corn shells are the best. Cheese dip is a bit runny but still really tasty! Recommend the margaritas, large tap beers, fajitas and crispy tacos as well. read more

El Caballo de Oro - Combo fajita nachos $1.99 Margarita! - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, Kansas

I have been coming to this place for quite some time now and tonight was the first time I had a negative experience. I was over charged on drinks and when trying to talk with management about it they said I was confused all because I ordered a non special day. Very rude and unprofessional, will not return to this restaurant. read more

Great service with smiles! Food was excellent and a surprise to find in Pittsburg, KS.

Since I wrote my first review in 2013, the restaurant is now in a new and larger location. I don't especially like the interior/exterior, but the food is excellent. I highly recommend the Pollo Tapatio, which I get every time we are there. Service is usually spot on, especially when the owner is there. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Pittsburg/Fort Scott area. You have to go to Joplin or Springfield to find better. There is another restaurant in Lamar by the same name, but the food is not the same, way too salty! read more

Still just a 2 star place. Having lived most my life in CA, i know what good mexican food tastes like. Not sure what the deal is in Kansas but the mexican cuisine here is just bad by comparison. They wouldnt last a year if they served this food in CA. A little salt and in the case of mexican food, a little spice/heat would take the food from mediocre to good. A very cheap fix. Its not just these guys, its a standard among most places around here read more

The #1 Mexican restaurant in the Southeast Kansas area! My husband and I frequently visit and it's always delicious. We have tried several Mexican restaurants in the area and El Caballo is by far the best! The chips and salsa are great and the cheese dip has a spicy kick to it. They have a large menu with so many tasty options. You can't go wrong - fajitas, chicken & rice, burritos, tacos, molcajete, everything is yummy! Portion sizes are huge, too. I always bring home leftovers. They have specials on food and drinks every day. Their margaritas are the bomb - strong and not too sweet! Service is ALWAYS fast even on very busy nights. We highly recommend giving El Caballo a try if you're in Pittsburg! You won't be disappointed. read more

Try the mexican chili , ample serving equipped with their signature crispy chips, my only beef is -calling ahead doesnt expedite my carryout order read more

Awesome place the food is delicious for small town Lamar I eat a lot of Mexican and it's one of the best in the area

This place even after being away from the area for 4 years is still my favorite go to place for great authentic Mexican cuisine. Staff are very friendly and are very prompt and professional. The atmosphere is very relaxing but also a place to have a great time for drinks with family or friends. You always get plenty of food on your plate. The refried beans are smooth and creamy. My personal favorite is the Leon cheese steak. Comes with three tortillas filled with streak meat and grilled onions covered with white queso cheese on top served with lettuce shredded cheese sour cream and Mexican rice. The prices are also reasonable and they have specials everyday. Also they have great salsa and fresh chips that always come out nice and hot. The salsa itself has a great flavor and has just the right amount of flavor and heat it is very mild. Location is in a good spot. And there is plenty of parking in and around the building. read more

Amazing! Always my go to restaurant when I'm craving food. Service is great and food is amazing.

The staff here is AMAZING!!!!! the Food is great too. We are regulars at this place. :)

Great service and quality food at a good price! Tex-Mex is hit and miss these days but I highly recommend this place

We were in town for a recruiting event and received a recommendation to try this place out, so our group decided to stop in for dinner! Our table shared the chips, salsa, and queso, (the queso was excellent). For dinner, I had the steak fajitas which were reminiscent of visiting the river walk down in San Antonio. The food is definitely more of Tex-mex, but still quite delicious -- I would definitely recommend stopping in! read more

Went here with my family. Our waiter was attentive and the food was served fast. Very yum

I miss working in Pittsburg because I came here once a week and only ever spent around 20 bucks on a couple beers -usually shock top which they have on sale often-, my meal and tip for the bar. Great staff (if you sit at the bar, someone is always around to help you) and the good is great too. read more

Not sure I'll ever be back in Pittsburg KS, but if I was I'd come back here. We were in town for my nephew's college graduation from Pitt and brought a large group over for dinner after the graduation ceremony. My sister had made a reservation and the place was super busy (probably with other graduates and their families). We had to wait a little bit for our table to be ready, but not very long for such a large party on such a busy night. The food was good, prices are really reasonable (maybe that's a northeastern perspective, but still seemed cheap) and the service was quick and efficient. They even had a live musician. Go check it out if you're in the area. read more

The food here was just okay. Large portins, decent service but not the best food I've had. The lunch specials come out fast which is a perk if you are on a short lunch from work. I just don't think I will be back anytime soon. read more

This was so much better on this visit! I highly recommend asking for the hot salsa to mix in with what they bring to the table - when they tell you to be careful, take heed! Mix in a little at a time because it is spicy for sure but delicious! The chips were hot and fresh and kept coming! Margaritas were ok - we got the .99 special and should have gone with something off the regular menu but at .99 and after 1 - you don't really care. The food was really good. The taco had a crispy shell and the beef was perfectly seasoned. The chili relleno was perfection - the pepper was tender and not overpowered with cheese or batter. The cheese enchilada was good - my least favorite of the 3 but still good! Next time I will try it with the cheese on top as well. Service was excellent and our food came out quickly. Our server was attentive and kept us supplied with water, chips, and salsa. Can't wait to go back! And we are back again June 2016 with a large group - we were seated and served quickly. I couldn't resist the chili relleno again - it is by far the best I have ever had - a friend tried it too and she agreed! Excellent Mexican food in Pittsburg! read more

Best staff in town. Food is consistently good, the owner is there working his tail off every night. We've been here at least once a week for a year or better and yet to feel like we weren't welcome and appreciated. The live music and support of local musicians is just icing on the churro! read more

Good mexican food, it's not the San Diego style I grew up with so I might be biased. Never had a bad meal, we've tried amlost everything on the menu. Their bar pours strong, so no worries there either. read more
