EL Mexicano

Great little Mexican joint. Food is consistently good, feels authentic, and is inexpensive. Service is quick and quiet. They do take out but don't have any printed up menus - I almost always get a chicken quesadilla and beans - the cheese they use is really tasty.I only ever come here for lunch - they do dinner, but I can't imagine eating that here. Atmosphere is lacking a bit... Miles ahead of El Paso or La Carretera!!!

It was too hot inside so that made me grumpy, but this place is so-so. The salsa was too spicy so I couldn't enjoy eating chips and salsa while chatting before the meal. Service was okay, mostly kept the glasses refilled.

We have been eating at El Mexicano for close to 30 years and have never had a bad meal. This family restaurant needs our support in a sea of chain restaurants.

I love this restaurant! The waiters and waitresses are very attentive without being too aggressive. The food is delicious and is prepared and brought to the table quickly. This restaurant is my go to Mexican place. There is a nice variety of items on the menu. I have never had a bad experience here.

Of the three Mexican Restaurants in LaPlace, El Mexicano is the most affordable and most authentic. Unlike the other two, the lighting inside is bright enough to read the menu and the temperature inside is comfortable. Restaurant to the east of this place is so cold all year round that I had to wear a jacket.El Mexicano has good food. The service is fast and friendly.

The El Mexicano is a restaurant in LaPlace. As you enter the place you are welcomed by beautiful Mexican art displayed on the wall. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious courses. We had lunch and the ingredients were fresh and of very high quality. Our waiter was a charming middle-aged woman. I had a pleasant lunch experience and recommend going to the El Mexicano restaurant.

Like most mexican places, El Mexicano has its special dishes. Their beans and enchiladas are really good. They use a mixture of white and dark chicken, so if you don't like dark meat, keep this in mind. The service is stellar, the building is just run down, but clean.

This was a surprising gem! Tucker away in a strip mall, unassuming appearance, but really good food. I read other reviews where one said the salsa was watery and one said it was spicy, I'm here to say yes to both. And it did t matter, it was pretty good with fresh made chips. I had the chicken chimichanga and it was great. The chicken was so flavorful. My wife had the taco & enchilada plate. The beef taco is really quite good. It was a lot more flavorful than you'd think, it isn't just barely flavored ground beef, it's got a punch of flavor. I didn't like the margarita but my wife did. On the whole it was a great lunch, very well priced, worth every bit of it.

Great authentic Mexican food. I got number 29, 30, and 31. Steak was cooked to perfect medium rare as requested. Beans and rice were delish.

This place should be named taco bell, the food taste is bad, I got sick after eating their food, place smells bad and they cook with other spices that Are not even used in mexican cousine.
