However, when you go inside, tastefully decorated with nice booths and tables. More spacious than it looks like from the outside. Very clean. Even the bathrooms are clean. Now to the food. What impressed me was that everything is freshly made. The salsa was some of the best I've had and of course homemade. The tortillas (both flour and corn) were so fresh and good. I had the Fajita plate and a side order of street tacos. The beef was very tasty. My wife had the Chile Relleno plate. She happens to be a connoisseur when it comes Chile Relleno. She was quite impressed. We'll eat there again as we go that way from time to time. The service was good. I recommend this restaurant.

In the heart of historic downtown Ennis, Texas--on the corner of W. Ennis and S. McKinney--sits an…read moreawesome Mexican restaurant. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the look and feel of true authenticity. There are two dining areas, and we chose the street-side patio. Here's something I've never seen before: they have a section on the menu specifically labeled "Tex-Mex"! Our waiter, Enrique from Ecuador, was amazing. The chips were fresh, hot, and crispy. They brought out two salsas--one was your classic red, and the other was a warm salsa that was absolutely divine. We finished both! We ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and the Camarones Momia (bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese and jalapeños). Hands down, the most flavorful I've ever had. Everything was piping hot and delicious. We ended with a flan for dessert that easily made our Top 5 list. Comfortable, delicious, and amazing. And get this--it's only 1.2 miles from our home. That could be a problem!! Highly recommended!

Sometimes you cant let the reviews dictate your experience!! It is clear that El Mexicano has been around for quite some time and i think that says enough. They have certainly made some changes throughout the years, they no longer have an open outdoor patio like they use to but instead it's an enclosed patio now so you are still kind of outside but not really. That is also where the entrance is, can be misleading a little bit because it doesn't quite look like the front door. The menu is extensive with several pages of drinks and food. The prices were great, the service was great and the food was fantastic! My tacos tasted like they were straight out of the taqueria and were packed with so much flavor. The drinks were made to perfection.

Walking in everything was clean and the set up was nice for a small place. Tuesday is dollar taco day your choice of meat, I ordered birria res, asada and lengua with a side of beans. While waiting they brought out some small tostadas with a side of pickled onions carrots etc. and two hot sauces, everything put together and by themselves were excellent loved the flavors. Waited a bit for our tacos even though we were the first there and a few people showed up after us and got their food before us. Finally after getting our tacos and waiting for them to serve everyone else we finally got to eat, the tacos were small but very flavorful loved the flavor of all the meats as my co worker did also but the corn tortillas the meat was in felt like they forgot about them or waited they were not warm like the meat. The beans were very good but way too runny, but back to the meats my favorite was the lengua some of the best tasting I've had in some time besides my grandmothers I can get that by itself and get my own tortillas and be good amazing taste in the meat choices I do not know about the others but wouldn't mind trying them possibly at another location or maybe this one just to see if it was a fluke visit just an off day. So we got water with our food and the service wasn't really service they took our order at the table and brought our food drink and appetizers with our drink so they only came to the table 3 times, I had to get up and ask for more water once and even after finishing that glass they did not step in and ask if I'd like more they sat there talking to one another. So with all this being said I'd give the meats a 4.5 out of 5 the service a 1.3 out of 5 and the rest of the experience a 2.5 so my over all score of this place just this location like I said I loved the flavor but everything else was poor. They do have other locations. But this location gets 3 stars.

What I liked was the quesadilla and the tortillas were hot and fresh but I wish the food had more flavor and spice. I must mention, the service here is great!
