"Great place, but a few things could make it even greater. Pros: + Diverse menu (chicken, pork, beef, veggie); + Delicious food; + Very friendly and prompt staff; + Quick service; + Nice atmosphere; + Free tortilla chips and hot sauce as appetizer. Cons: - A bit expensive; - Some dishes are rather small (see pictures for differences). Neutral: = The atmosphere would have been even better if they played some traditional Mexican music, rather than radio or whatever playlist that was. All in all, we liked the food, and we'll go there again to try more of their traditional dishes. If you don't mind paying a bit more for a dish than at your regular burger house, then I definitely recommend it."

"Authentisches mexikanisches Restaurant in Emmendingen! Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich und farbenfroh, das Personal freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Speisen sind frisch, würzig und perfekt abgeschmeckt – besonders die Tacos und Enchiladas sind ein Genuss. Preis-Leistung stimmt, Portionen sind großzügig. Ideal für einen entspannten Abend mit Freunden oder Familie. Absolut empfehlenswert!"

"Zuerst das Ambiente. Nicht super fancy oder stylisch. Einfach, aber ok. Jetzt das Essen, die Tapas super lecker, besonders die geschälten Garnelen. Die Hauptgerichte sehr lecker. Wichtig hier! Auch hier ist die Aufmachung sehr spartanisch, aber deshalb um so leckerer. Einfach ehrlich, gutes Essen. Preis/Leistung sehr gut. Und dann noch der mega nette Service. Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man es einfach und ehrlich mag. Gerne wieder."

"Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Abend im El Mexicano, wir haben vorher versucht telefonisch einen Tisch zu reservieren doch leider gab es kein Netz, sind dann einfach spontan vorbeigefahren und bekamen freundlicher weise noch einen Tisch für zwei. :-) Uns wurden ein paar Nachos mit hausgemachter Soße zum Snacken hingestellt, die Soße war sehr frisch und fruchtig. Zum Hauptgang haben wir uns einen Burrito und 2 mit Käse überbackene Tacos bestellt. Als kleines on Top habe ich mir noch die gegrillten Jalapeneos mit 3 verschiedenen Soßen bestellt. Das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker, da ich sowieso ein totaler Fan von Käse und leicht Scharf bin war das, genau dass richtige für mich. Meiner Frau hat´s aber natürlich auch geschmeckt die Schärfe beim Mexikanisch ist nicht so dramatisch. Das Ambiente ist sehr angenehm man fühlt den Mexikanischen Flair, die Bedienung ist auch sehr freundlich gewesen. Alles in allem kommen wir gern nochmal wieder :-)"
