Walking in, I was very skeptical that the food would match the hype of other reviews. It did; the food was great. The chicken wings were quite good.

They serve Doritos not tortilla chips, the guacamole, salsa, cheese, and pico de gallo are all not fresh. The chicken of the fajitas was acceptable but the peppers and onions were mushy, possibly boiled. The prices were expensive compared to the quality of food. The waiter never brought anything we asked for after our initial order, water, extra salsa.

Reasons why El Racho is good - the staff was very friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere is good, it is very family friendly, and while not necessarily "authentic" the food tasted good.

There is nothing Brooklyn about this place, there is nothing Tex Mex about this place. We stopped in for a cold beer as we were walking around on Day 1. We ordered 4 pints of beer that were all on draft and nothing crazy (Edelweiss and Desperado). We got a second round. 2 beers for 4 people. 75 Euro. Really? It is now Day 8 and we constantly joke about how much that place was ridiculous. (Sure we had a fabulous 3 course meal with a bottle of wine for 3 people at Express De Lyon but why do that when you can get 8 beers at Indiana). Avoid... there is much better options for everything they have. Trust me.

Ok, I have to confess that, after 10 days in Paris eating complex, rich, wonderful food, i was…read moreready for a hamburger. Do you hate me for that? I mean, I know it's Paris. How could I muck up the works with a friggin Hamburger? I don't know why or what came over me. I was just ready for something, well, basic. Little did I know what was in store! We came upon this place whilst simply strolling (as one does in Paris) near the Bastille. The place looked good (whatever that means), so we gave it a try. The main attraction, if you must know, was this gorgeous, gleaming burger-and-fries on a plate that somebody ordered as we were walking by. Between that and my burger craving, I knew I had to try it. So all four of us ordered a burger. a couple were "cheeseburgers" (because it sounded weird to say that in French). They came to the table and were just as glistening and gleaming as they were on the stranger's table where had first seen them. Our waitress was a lovely girl from Iceland. In France, nobody will speak English to you (or they will and then curse behind their back), so we had been getting along fine with our "fairly conversational" French. Well, this girl picked up our probably lousy accent and jumped right into English, explaining that she had been dying to practice it. She had come to Paris to work and go to school, and she made the experience even nicer. In Paris they don't just throw a frozen patty on the grill. Nope, this was freshly-ground sirloin or mignon, hand-formed and cooked to absolute perfection. It was almost transcendental to take that first bite: while I knew this WAS a hamburger, it didn't taste like the drivel from Carl's or In-and-Out. This was prime beef, fresh and perfect. The cheese was typical French: fresh and full of flavor and bite. No American cheese here- thank heavens. Big ol honkin' buns, with lettuce, pickles and tomatoes on the side. A quick word about the produce in France: Forget what you've tasted. The produce in other countries tastes amazing. You know how tomatoes don't have much flavor? Well, they do everywhere else! So THAT'S what tomatoes are supposed to taste like! (the bulb went on). That added to the wonderful flavors mingling in our mouths like star-crossed lovers in an orgy of taste bud nirvana. They topped this whole conflaguration with this velveeta-like stuff they termed "cheese fondue." Ok. But it worked! Great burger. Different than here, but just amazing. One final word about the pommes-frites (french fries). French fries in France are to die for. I don't know how or why, but they are. You're just going to have to believe me on that one. I could eat these all day long. They're light, delicate, rich, potatoe-y, salty, thick, crunchy, soft, oily, flavorful, yummy creations from heaven. This place hit it on all counts. What a great accident. If you're in Paris and need a burger fix, get yourself over here pronto. It's right across from the Bastille monument. Can't miss it. Thanks for the memories!

disappointing Mexican food in Paris near Eiffel tower…read more Thought that given Paris is a big city, we can find reasonable cosmopolitan food. The veggie burrito was ok, overall small and greasy without much veggies or beans The nachos were outright disappointing Will not recommend this place

Let me start by saying that this place has potential. And also, the prices pretty much can't be…read morebeat in this neighborhood or anywhere else in Paris, for that matter. Now for the nitty gritty. I came to meet a friend for lunch at noon. The place was crowded and it was hard to squeeze in between the two tables to get to my seat (mostly because they weighed two tons and I couldn't slide mir over one inch). The restaurant has terrible accoustics, it was so loud for lunch I had to practically read lips when having a conversation. Ambiance is a bit cold but hopefully they'll work on that.. As for food, I ordered a burrito. And it was only 6€!! I added a supplement of guacamole for 1€ and a supplement of spicy salsa for 1€ as well. The guac was freshly made, and a solid serving. The salsa, however was not spicy by any TexMex standard. I would not have paid extra for that, especially since there was a bottle of free Tabasco sitting on my table. My second biggest gripe was that the burrito was not folded so that it could be picked up and eaten by hand. I was obligated to cut it with my fork and knife and I found that somewhat burrito blasphemy. Taste-wise it was OK. I got the veggie option and it was a bit lacking in flavor. The tortilla hadn't been warmed and was a bit tough as well. My friend got the tortilla soup which came with chips, cheese and sour cream for 6€. It looked tasty and was a hearty portion. All in all, I'd be willing to retry this place in a few months but I'm not dying to get back right away.
