Knightdale still has a long way to go in with offering local restaurants. El Señor is your average Mexican restaurant. It's convenient to where I live/frequent. It does get busy on weekends. Staff are always friendly. Typically I get the half order of chicken or mixed fajitas. You get two flour tortillas with your meal. There's a special for an $8 medium house margarita on Saturdays. It was larger than expected! read more

The food was decent. However when the waiter tried to charge us 12 dollars more on top of our bill we inquired to why it was not 47 dollars but somehow 59. Instead of addressing the issue promptly he tried to guilt us by saying it's just 12 dollars. We told him we haven't received the receipt for tips yet but somehow got charged 12 more when he brought us the final receipt. Never in my life had someone charge us more than the receipt showed in any restaurants. Not sure how many other people this has occurred with. Be vigilant and pay attention to your bill prior to the tip/receipt. read more

The food portion was small, and the fajitas were served differently--not on a sizzling plate like at other Mexican restaurants I've visited. However, the service was good and welcomingThe ambiance was decent, and they have a bar. read more

I would recommend that you DO NOT go here... Honestly, the food is good so it's unfortunate that I will no longer eat here but here's my reasoning as to why.... I came in on December 31st 2024 and ordered $39 worth of food... when I got there and swiped my card I was told that my card was declined and the transaction didn't go through... so I ended up paying cash... Then I found out that I was actually charged on my card... so I paid DOUBLE... I have gone to this restaurant on 3 different occasions trying to resolve the issue and I was told the manager was going to call the credit card company and get my money refunded back to me, and I was told essentially a bunch of other non sense lies... also the manager himself would not come and talk to me they had the workers running back and forth from the back room as messengers to let me know what he was saying... VERY UNPROFESSIONAL... I got ROBBED from this business out of my money that I work hard for.... I paid $39 TWO TIMES and I've gone to the restaurant 3 different times trying to resolve the issues.... If my card was charged and I paid you cash as well then why would you call the credit card company? Why not just give me my cash back and the problem would be solved .... I left them my phone number and was told the manager would call me and guess what... HE NEVER DID!!! So I'm going to forever and always spread the word around town and to everybody that I know that this restaurant likes to rob people for there money and that they are very unprofessional.... If your going to steal my money then I'm going to spread the word to EVERYONE that this business STEALS.... read more

Great Food, awesome drinks at a respectful price. Staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. Love this place . read more

El Senor - Texas Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

Really good Mexican food. My favorite place to eat. Love their cheese dip and Texas Fajita nachos.

Poor customer service. So I ordered my food. I got a plate for me from my wife and got some chicken nachos for my son and there was an option with the chicken nachos. It was either shredded chicken or grilled chicken so I asked the cashier taking my order what's the difference and she just had one shredded and one grill I said OK I said well just give me the shredded then come to find out when I receive my order that's not, only difference there is onions and peppers in the shredded chicken and my son will not like that so I said I need you to swap this out so she did and she told me that would be an up charge for the grill so I said you were gonna charge me while the rest of my food is getting cold because you made a mistake because you didn't tell me The correct answer when I asked you the question what was the difference between the two and she still charged me and I told her I wouldn't be back and she didn't seem to care Pardon the grammatical errors in this post as I was using speech to text feature read more

Me gusta. La comida es muy buena y el ambiente era perfecto. I would recommended this spot as a good little spot to stop in, grab a marg, and fill your face with some chips and salsa. Service was always good and the prices reasonable. Give them a try! read more

El Señor has been in Knightdale for YEARS and has become an icon of the town. We eat here on a weekly basis and absolutely love everything about the business. The staff are friendly and personally connect with patrons; they'll even remember your name. The food is consistently great and always fast to the table. Cannot say enough good things about this place, it's wonderful! read more

Best Mexican food around! Staff is great, food is wonderful and beer is cold. You will not be disappointed with trying this one

Food and service are fantastic! We've been going here for years, and it's still hits the spot! Great job guys!

Consistently great food. Good portions. Fast, friendly and attentive wait staff. Always a pleasant dining experience.

By far my favorite Mexican spot. There are some authentic items and American Mexican items so everyone can get what they want. There are specials everyday and I have always had great service. read more

Service is good and food is just ok. It hits the spot if you want Mexican and isn't bad--it's just not amazing. The worst part was the music. The speakers sounded blown or something--it was just distracting and it really would have been better to have no music at all. read more

Fast and delicious. Have been here many many times . Even great for take out . They get busy but the wait is never terrible .

I've been here a lot and the food is great the service is amazing and has good appetizers and perfect lighting

My meal is always an experience of excellence & a tongue gasm if that's a word - the customer service is always outstanding , they never pause to assist with your needs & wants read more

There are many better Mexican places around town. My medium size margarita was mostly mix, very little tequila in it. Food was average, fairly bland. Good chips but the salsa was thin and watery. Place was packed for dinner and felt very rushed. From order to checkout was 25 minutes. Could have had a better meal at taco bell for a half the price. read more

Our only place to go for Mexican food. We usually do takeaway but the service is great at the front.

Always great customer service. Decent drink specials and food that has flavor as it has actually been seasoned. Glad that this place is in my little neck of the woods and while I haven't visited I'm a while, I look forward to an opportunity to frequent in the near future. read more

This is a great Mexican spot in Knightdale. Really great folks. Decent prices. My son and I go every Saturday for lunch.

Went to lunch here and their salsa is terrible it is just like pureed crush watery tomatoes. Ordered a cheese nachos and got about a dozen tortilla chips treading water in a queso pool. Will not return the customer service was minimal and no masks or gloves. read more

For months now this has been our go to when craving really good Mexican, tonight we placed our online order as usual, upon arriving home, my meal, the Quesadilla Mexicana, was wrong. I called to let them know, the staff were giggling and playing around before putting me on hold. The young lady returned and told me it'd be ready in 10. We hang up and the restaurant calls back. Gentleman says he prepared my food and he placed all the toppings on the side and the tortilla and steak in foil. He said I didn't ask for no guacamole though the receipt and online order confirmation says differently. The online description is farthest from what they presented me tonight. The shrimp tacos were a bust as well. read more

The service was overall ok. It was a bit slower than what we are used to. They brought chips and salsa and then took drink order 5 minutes later. The food was just ok. This is our second time eating from this restaurant. The first time was takeout and I was disappointed because the food was so bland. Today was no different. We sat near the kitchen area and my son saw an employee draining the remnants of a beverage from a serving pitcher. Unfortunately, I'm sorry we will not return. read more

Had some of the best margaritas here . Great environment for everyone. And the menu had so many selections to choose from

Been coming here since 2014. Came here tonight for date night and got the Arros Tejano and my boyfriend got the chicken and steak tacos. Our waiter Manuel was super friendly and checked in on us to make sure we were ok. First time for my boyfriend coming and he fell in love instantly. We will definitely be back again. read more

Great food! I always get the Pollo Fundido lunch size is enough for me and comes with salad and rice- love the rice. Dinner size is double! I love their fresh warm chips and salsa. I could make a meal from them. The staff are always friendly and quick to refill your drinks. Great decor and clean. Love this place! read more

I ordered nachos and received what I now call "chip soup." Watered down Nacho cheese with soggy chips floating in it. I thought it must be a mistake, but other diners were drinking their chip soup with gusto. I have to conclude this restaurant doesn't know what nachos are. read more

I've only been once so far but the chicken fajita was amazing. I will definitely return!

Horrible experience.. texas strawberry margarita reminded me of a snowcone with food coloring and no liquor.. my husband got the fajitas and it taste like curry seasoning or brown sugar was in it either way a little weird to me. i asked them if i could switch the margarita for a tall beer and they said no i still had to pay for it.. I ordered the simple chicken enchiladas and they were so bland, no veggies included at all! The rice and beans were blah. I am used to a high caliber Mexican food and this was disappointing. I will not be back! read more

I was very disappointed tonight, ordered the half ACP disappointment never had it with corn in it and tortillas were not included. Also ordered 2 tacos, Hard shells were soggy once I made it home and I only live 1 block away! Will not be visiting anytime soon read more

Nothing fancy here, just no-frills standard Mexican cuisine. I say that like it's a bad thing, but if you're looking for the real deal, look no further than El Senor. This is the closest I've found to authentic Mexican home cooking since I was living out in east LA. A little extra heat really brings out the flavors for most of the dishes, and if I had to level a single complaint, it's that there's not a lot of spice in the food straight from the kitchen. Don't hesitate to ask for a bottle of red or green habanero sauce on the side if you want the best culinary experience and can take the heat. If not, don't sweat it: My girlfriend has a low tolerance to spicy food, and she loves the food here just as much as I do. El Burro De La Roqueta is my favorite dish, and the fajitas are always excellent too. I love that you can also get 1/2 orders for many of the menu items if you're looking to eat light (or cheap!). The staff are always smiling and very helpful. Sometimes they're slow to collect your payment, but you can always pay at the counter up front if you're in a hurry. I've been eating here regularly for years and have never had a bad experience! read more

Their salsa, chips and guacamole are delicious. We ordered tacos, burritos and Chile rellenos. The rice and beans lacked salt, the Chile relleno was a stuffed pepper with ground beef inside not a Mexican Chile relleno with cheese. It seems the food has a Central American vibe. I'd come back for the chips and guacamole read more

What an experience!! Me and my friend went to El Senor for lunch the other day and really enjoyed our food. I got the fajitas with chicken and beef and it was totally worth it. Also because it was on a Tuesday their lunch special was $6 fajitas. $6!!!!!! You can't beat that. The only negative I will say is I only like mild salsa with my chips and theirs tasted like watered-down marinara sayce. Other than that I highly enjoyed my food. read more

I love this restaurant whether we are dining in or ordering for delivery The food is always fresh and so good. Our favorites are the Texas Nachos full size with lots of meat and a few chips. So not all filler. Pollo Fundido is perfect, just love the lightly fried tortilla and the moist flavorful chicken. Another family favorite is the banana dessert and fried ice cream. All travels well when we have it delivered and arrives at the correct temperatures. A must have at least 2 times a month! read more

El Senor is good in some ways, not so good in others. I like them for the most part but I have had trouble getting ground beef that isn't still pink. The last time I ordered something with ground beef and I sent it back because it was still pink, they brought me another plate (supposedly) that was cooked more but the beef was still pink. I steer clear of the ground beef and I'm good now. My husband loves the pork fajitas. They're a little dry for my taste but I love the chicken and beef fajitas. So I'd skip the rare ground beef and then you should be great. read more

Currently live in the Knightdale area and this was my first time visiting this restaurant. I enjoyed everything! Waiter was amazingly friendly and even helped with what to order. Food came out in a timely manner. Overall enjoyed the visit and I will definitely visit again. read more
