El Chico Cafe

My boyfriend and I have been coming to this El Chico location for years, and it holds a lot of nostalgia for him. He has fond memories of going with his uncle and dad when he was younger, and every visit still carries that same comforting, familiar feeling. The food is cost-effective and consistently satisfying. Especially the chile con carne enchiladas, which are always a standout. I usually like to mix things up and often go for one of the combination plates, which never disappoint. On our most recent visit, I ordered the enchiladas with a chile relleno, and it was excellent. The cheese had the perfect pull, the chile was just the right level of heat, and everything came together exactly how you want a classic comfort dish to taste. Beyond the food, the atmosphere feels like stepping

I absolutely hate when the staff is super nice but the food is disappointing. We have lived in the area for many years and finally decided to give this place a try. For starters their salsa is very bland. I ordered The Caballero Combo. Like most other reviews, my food was literally room temperature almost cold. You can tell by the unmelted cheese. The enchiladas were okay. The burrito was just a cold tortilla filled with ground beef and topped with cheese. Reminded me of school food. The boys got steak fajitas. The steak was tender and flavorful however the skillet was not hot. It didn’t char the onions. I say “onions” because it was mostly onions with 2 small pieces of green bell pepper. Their pico was also mostly onions. We ended with a “fried ice cream”. Imagine soft serv

I've been to many Mexican food restaurants all over and I have to say I am SO glad we decided to pop in to El Chico and check it out. The place is super clean, the service was excellent and the entire staff was friendly. The selection was excellent and everything in the menu looked good. The prices were great comparable to most any other place. I had the two-burrito plate with taco and my wife had the enchilada plate. Nice presentation on the food. I have to say the burritos were amazing and it was the BEST taco I've ever had. I've had thousands all over the place and these are top of my list. And the deciding factor for most Mexican food fans....the salsa was excellent! I hate that it's across town from us, but we won't hesitate making the drive for their food again! A+++

Our family has been dining at El Chico for over 50 years, starting in Shreveport, LA. It was so fun and nostalgic to eat there today. The food and salsa was just as we remembered. The carrot, onion and jalapeño relish was a treat too!!! Karen, our server, was the best!! We will be back!!

Wow! Hadn't been here in thirty years and everything is still as great as it was then! We came tonight and had great food, and really great service! The Thursday Mucho platter was all you can eat and an excellent deal. Our server Achel was fantastic! We are so happy to be back and look forward to coming again soon!
