El Mexicano Grill

We had never stopped to eat here before. Not for any particular reason. We just make a lot of Tex Mex at home. Our waiter was sweet and brought us all three of their salsas to try. We're big green salsa fans. The first table salsa had a fair amount of cumin in it. Not my favorite. The more piquant red was very good, very authentic and the green was muy picante! Delicious!We perused the menu; but ultimately we ordered simply. They have all kinds of wonderful combos; but I just wanted enchiladas. I did ask for salsa verde on the chicken enchilada; but when they came, they were all covered in chili gravy.My husband spotted a lunch special and so we asked if he could have it even though it wasn't lunchtime, and it was okay with a $2 upcharge. Happily, he ordered the tostada/soft taco, beans and rice plate and an additional two crispy beef tacos a la carte. My spouse enjoyed it all. It was just straight up Tex Mex; but good.So were my enchiladas. They were well filled and the meat was seasoned. The chicken was in chunks not shredded which texturally was wonderful.My only real complaint was that I found the music way too loud whether it was Country (and why Country?) or Mexican and they did turn it down when asked. It's also my hope that will get the plumbing fixed in the Ladies Room. To have to place all paper in a trash can that's across the room by the door means moving the trash can back and forth. That's totally unhygienic. There is plenty of parking in this strip center parking lot.

The food was great. This was our first time to the Midlothian location, we usually go to the Waxahachie location by the courthouse. We thought we would try this one out and we are happy we did. We arrived at had to change so service was a little slow at the beginning but overall they did a wonderful job. The atmosphere is perfect and there is a lot of seating.

My date and I really enjoy the food. I had the Taco Salad, and she had the Chicken Fajitas Salad they were both excellent. Our waitress was very nice and courteous, she checked on us at least 7 times while we were there for 1.5 hours. We were there about 12:30 Friday when there were about 8 policemen there. The food was excellent.

The carne asada is over price. The shrimp enchiladas lock flavor and they play country music!!!!! at best this place is well below average. Wht ppl don't have an idea of what they are eating.

Tried this place basically because we didn't want to drive any further than Midlothian. I had heard good thing but man, never expected it to be so good. Guacamole live was a perfect starter. I got combo fajitas. Steak super tender. Both it and the chicken were seasoned perfectly. Plenty of onions and peppers to go with it. Served with the traditional accompaniments. Hubby had the Super Cassandras. It has shrimp, beef chicken mushrooms topped with cheese and served flaming. He loved it. He also loves the charro beans - he could eat a gallon of those alone. Our server Hugo was perfectly attentive. The portions were big enough we don't have to think about lunch (or maybe dinner) tomorrow. It was truly wonderful!

Food could be better for the price. We paid $30 for chicken, beef & shrimp fajitas for two people. The fajitas meat was so DRY! The shrimp is salty. The tortillas are store bought & dry. The tortilla chips come straight out of a plastic bag. Nothing authentic about this place. We asked for sour cream and was charged almost $3 for it!!! We had a lot of leftover meat and wanted to take it home to feed to our dogs. Only good thing is that their margaritas are 99 cents on Tuesday. They also had a special on bottled beer, but a lot of their beers were out of stock!!! If you come here, stick to the burritos or enchiladas.

I've been to the Midlothian location a few times now and it's just as solid as the downtown Waxahachie location. Today is New Year's Eve and all the staff have festive headbands and hats on. The salsa came with some queso today. Not sure if that is a new standard thing or something just for NYE, but it was a nice treat. I've never had their queso and it has just enough spice and real cheese to keep it out of the "cheese sauce" category. I tend to stick with the shrimp quesadilla and cheese enchiladas, but my husband has tried several different things. He loves how the flour tortillas are come out warm and sometimes crisp from the grill (that's the way he likes it when he fixes them at home). Haven't gotten a bad dish yet! So glad that this location is so close to home :)

Thank you to the staff & to Stefanie for the amazing service today at El Mexicano Grill! Great food and drinks! He loved the sangria swirl! Happy cinco everyone!

This Mexican restaurant has been open for a while. This cafe was redone and the food has been very good. I have been here 4 times and my wife once this month.Only thing I dislike about El Mexicano Grill the waitress are slow and not very friendly. Lunch menu has a real good choose and price. Great food but needs work on the customer service! Thank you.

We have eaten here several times, but not recently. We arrived on Thursday night and only a few tables were taken, which was unusual. Service was OK but indifferent. Previously, food had been quite good. This time, everything was pretty horrible. The beans were dry. My wife and her sister ordered nachos which were on old stale chips with some beans and cheese thrown on them in the center. 95% of the chips had nothing on them. Beans were extraordinarily dry as was the rice. Waitress was disinterested and took the nachos off the check without s question. It's a shame. This restaurant has deteriorated so fast. But, it is what it is and we will go elsewhere.
