Large combo
Ronnie B.

This will always be a MUST stop restaurant for me when I come home. In mind, I tell myself I'm going to try a new spot, but I always end up here. I usually get one of two dishes, a large combination (carne asada) or a torta (carne asada). I moved to Dallas, Texas, where Tex-Mex is passed off as authentic Mexican cuisine. So, when I come home, I truly enjoy a solid meal at one of my favorite restaurants the QCA has to offer. Ronnie's pick

What can I say, we probably get this place to-go at least a few times a month. It's consistently great! Our kiddos love the beans and rice. My husband gets the al pastor tacos and I get the carne asada tacos. The guacamole and chips are a great add on. YUM!

I love the food, but wish they had regular salsa. Very clean, fast service. Chimichanga was awesome.

Their carne asada is the best hands down, their pastor is my daughter's favorite too.

El Mexicano - These chorizo tacos were fantastic. And you can purchase chorizo in the attached grocery store (which has very good prices)

El Mexicano is such a fun place to visit! I want to return and purchase about a dozen items from…read moretheir grocery store which carries a variety of fresh cheeses and a hot case full of food I'd like to try, along with a gamut of other Latin American products throughout. We ate lunch at El Mexicano recently and while I enjoyed my huarache, I had serious food envy over my companion's carnitas. They looked and tasted very good and, as I later learned, are a restaurant specialty. I'll definitely come back to El Mexicano! Not only to check items off my shopping list, but for another cheap and tasty lunch (and carnitas).

This place lived up to the reviews. We came in for lunch and ordered our fill of tacos, tamales,…read moreand horchata. While the parents were a little put off by the somewhat divey style (it's a little place attached to an equally small market), we were invited to sit down in a warm, sunlit booth, and they immediately loosened up. First, the service was friendly and prompt. Second, the chips and salsa (served in squeeze bottles) were crunchy and warm; the two salsas were fabulous. Some of the group thought that the verde was too spicy, but I thought it was just right. The horchata was sweet and delicious, and we were offered a refill, to my delighted surprise. We ordered three of the taco platters--3 tacos each with rice and beans--and two of the tamales platters--3 tamales each also with rice and beans. We tried the steak, chorizo, and carnitas. These came quickly and they did not disappoint. The only negative thing I could say is that the carnitas, likely due to being prepared in large quantities for the daily special, was a little dry. I suggest getting it topped with the cheese. The chorizo was my favorite, topped with cilantro and onion. It wasn't excessively greasy, but was still moist and incredibly flavorful. The tamales were topped with gooey cheese, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. I don't want to overlook the rice and refried beans. I usually don't touch these ubiquitous items, but here it was hard to resist. The beans were creamy and topped with mini-morsels of queso fresco. And the rice was well seasoned. Everyone was blown away with their meal. For entirely too much food (we ordered five entrees for four petite people, and we took a full meal home in leftovers) and two horchatas, we got out of their for $25 plus tip. So this was most assuredly worth the price. In a nutshell: fantastic food, underpriced, with friendly service.
