Food is ok, nothing special, but the prices are stupid! Why would you charge $12 for a mushroom quesadilla at lunch time with NOTHING else on the plate?! Salsa was bland so I ordered cheese dip. Please actually put cheese in your cheese dip! No refills on my tea. I had to find the server to check out. Now I remember why I haven’t been there in so long!

The first time eating here, it started out pretty good with warm chips and good salsa. The waiter took my order and that was the last time I saw him. They brought my plate to the table and didn't even ask if I needed anything else. My plate was all one dish, no division between the food, a soupy mess. I had to ask another waiter for my check two separate times. I was over charged for the meal. The ticket was for $20, and my meal (with water) should have been $12-$14 at the most. There is a really good chance that I will NOT return.

I believe I've rated El Mexicano before and rated them 5 stars for their Food, Service and Atmosphere. However yesterday was a complete turnaround from 5 to a 3 in the food category. It should have been a (2.5) rating.To be fair I should let you know it was near 3:PM when we arrived. And I'm sure the cook's were very tired or there was a shift change taking place while they were preparing our 2 beef burritos lunch special. It was in my humble opinion not cooked/seasoned right. Very bland and undercooked. I'll keep going back because everyone deserves to be off sometime. Love you El Mexicano.

Prices are reasonable, food is ok. The chips are a bit overcooked though. Water tastes like it was filtered with dirt. Waiter kept making errors.
Excellent food and great service. Staff checked on me several times during my lunch. Would

Let me preface this by saying it has been at least 2 years since the last time we were here because our first visit was so bad...but we decided to give it another try today and were just as disappointed in this visit. The first time, there was a sewage smell right when you walked and at least that is gone...but our server came to us while he was eating and food was literally spilling out of his mouth as he spoke to us...I'm fairly certain my mouth was hanging open because I was so repulsed. My husband liked his fish tacos, but my bean and cheese nachos were so bad that I didn't even eat most of them. The cheese was so thin and watery that when I lifted one up, it was dripping onto the plate. I did really like the chips and salsa, though

Waiter argued with us about our order. Ordered cheese enchilada bought a beef one, and said that's what we ordered. Never said that at all. Waited long time for the food.
