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 into a piece of Dallas history, and that’s part of what keeps us coming back. It’s a reliable spot for good food, fair prices, and a dose of nostalgia especially if you grew up coming here or appreciate classic Tex-Mex. Read More
The food was very good! The service was good as well. Went for my birthday and got the brownie served in a hot plate. The server, Henry, poured butter on the plate and it was a really good presentation and decadent (and rich!) A very nice birthday dinner! Thank you Henry!
