Me and my wife split the steak chicken and shrimp fajitas and they were on point. Everything was tasty and well cooked. The only problems were the bartender was our waitress which made it hard for her to stay on top of empty drinks and such.

Our server was Luc who was very attentive and great to chat with about the Mexican apple pie that is made in house. We did not try this as we were full from our meals but we smelled it from the table nearby and OMG it smells amazing! Food was delicious and had plenty on our plates.

Extremely friendly and attentive staff, from hostess to servers. The table side guacamole was very good. My wife enjoyed her fish tacos which was made with grilled Mahi. I had a combination plate which was very good. Even in the outdoor seating area, the service was great. Don't forget to check out their hot sauce station. Will definitely be back.

It's a great restaurant. Family friendly. The kids are offered crayons and a coloring page menu to pick their meal from. The drinks are delicious as is the food. It's a clean restaurant and the staff is always kind when we visit. It's a great spot for taco Tuesday!

I am an El Chico aficionado. We took the short 1 hour drive down from Orlando, and wow am I glad I did. This location is the BEST El Chico I've ever had. Large portions, super fresh ingredients. I literally sought out the manager to brag on the food quality. He'd been there since 2001. Please make this your go-to Mexican restaurant. This is what all El Chico's should strive to become. Great job everyone!

El Chico is our favorite Mexican food place to dine and has always been a 5 star experience. Today, we feel compelled to comment on the atmosphere due to the volume of the female bartender's voice behind the bar and while taking orders at the surrounding booths. We sat in the bar area mid-afternoon in one of those booths. There were 3-4 patrons dining at the bar engaged in a friendly discussion with her. She was SO LOUD we were unable to have a discussion. Once they left, we discovered that she is just a VERY LOUD talker.
Please be mindful of other patrons by moderating your voice to the inside volume by reducing it 75%. We are sure she is a wonderful person but it was just TOO LOUD.
Thank you,
Staying Loyal

Felt forgotten at times. Did not come during the busiest time either. Finally received a condiment asked for when we were done eating. Long times between waitress asking if we needed anything or more beverages. Not typical of the restaurant but not my favorite visit. Will try again we love their food and service is usually much better.

Enjoyed the food and it was still good later when I went to reheat it...tried something different this time (Chimi Combo) and wasn't disappointed!

Dinner meeting at El Chicos - perfect atmosphere for drinks, dinner, and conversation. My only challenge was the limited menu options for keto diet. I choose the Burrito Bowl (steak) and tried not to eat all the yellow rice. And it was delicious!
