We love El Mexicano in Sanford! Been going there for years! Not sure why this photo is of the Waterboro restaurant. Food is delish and drinks are spot on! Try the shrimp quesadillas!

Had an awesome time with my family. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Fajita Skillet and it was great. You could hear them bringing it to the table sizzling away!! Haha

My family loves going here or getting takeout because of the great food and drinks. The various bowls are delicious and you get a lot for the money. I recommend the Barbeque or Pollo as my two favorites, my wife loves the Quesadilla del Hongos. Margaritas are also on point. Can be a little noisy during peak business hours, but otherwise a great place with outdoor seating in warmer weather.

It’s not Tex-Mex (which I’m used to), but for Maine it’s pretty good! The chips were fresh and warm, the salsa was fresh and had the perfect amount of heat (both red and green tomatillo). We ate the whole bowl lol My husband had a steak taco salad and a Baja fish taco on the side. He loved the taco salad but said the fish taco felt like a frozen piece of fish in a tortilla (despite being in Maine where there is fresh fish everywhere!). I had the special which consisted of two chile rellenos and a crunch taco. The taco had plenty of ground beef and I was happy the shell was fresh. I was also happy that the chile rellenos wasn’t dipped in batter and fried. It was just the cooked pepper stuffed with cheese and I really liked it. The food was good (despite the fish taco) and the service w

Fantastic burritos. We've traveled all of Mexico and these are some of the best we've had (although we hardly saw burritos anywhere in Mexico). Lots of flavor!! A very spicy picante salsa is available if you ask for it. Recommend the burrito Sanford and the burrito tomatillo. Friendly and quick service. Beautiful restaurant. Beyond impressed.
