The people here are just plain awesome and only their food outshines their awesomeness!We have lunch here at least once a week and El Fresco has never failed to deliver.It is Tex-Mex food made with the absolute freshest of ingredients. We swear you can taste the sunshine in the tomatoes used for the many varieties of salsa. Salsa that comes free with a huge helping of the best chips anywhere.We can vouch for anything shrimp having had both the shrimp quesadillas and the handheld shrimp burritos. Both of these are stuffed with fantastic shrimp and the very best of ingredients. (The burrito the winner of any we have ever had and we have had dozens!) All the proteins are of exceptional quality; pork, chicken, steak, etc.The nachos are in a category by themselves -- A delicious monster size helping which we swore we could not finish but oh, look -- we did!There is a terrific lunch menu which runs until the unusual hour of 4:00 p.m. which accommodates us workaholics who will suddenly look at the clock and realize lunch time has passed!We have not had anything of less than stellar quality in the dozens of times we have eaten here.The restaurant is always found in pristine condition as the manager personally takes the time to clean up on a regular basis; you can tell he takes pride in both the facility and the food.NVCC students take note: El Fresco is directly across the street from campus and it offers a 15% discount for students. Such a deal; we wish we were still in school!Please give El Fresco a try as the food is the best Tex-Mex to be found anywhere in the area.

Fantastic mex food. Ordered via the app which was incredibly simple, they had the order for 2 ready in about 10 minutes. Love the salsa bar for some to-go tomatillo salsa and pico and EXTRA onions. Main course = OUTRAGEOUS BURRITO PLATTER. Very amazing, easily one of the best burritos I have ever devoured. And that Salsa/chips combo is really good. And then for dessert, Apple Churros. Muy bien. Literally everything we ordered was so good.

Chorizo and eggs are the best! Extremely fresh food and probably the best Mexican food I have had in the area. Growing up in El Paso, TX it's difficult to find anything comparable but I was happy to try this little gem.

I have eaten there 3 times so far, the food indeed feels and tastes fresh and there has been carefully crafted. There is a salsa bar with average salsas and they give you chips with your meal. My first visit there was good customer service, real plates and utensils. Good spot for some slightly different Mexican dishes.
