Best Staff, Best Salsa, Best Location! Staff is knowledgeable, kind, and quick! Location is clean & has a great atmosphere. Queso, chips & SALSA… OH MY WORD. SO YUMMY! We recommend The Mama or the El Caballero if you want to share! Ask for the relish for an extra treat!
Best in town! Great people - best bartenders and wait staff ever! Karaoke adds a fun flavor to the place and entertainment for the whole family.
Stopped for lunch while traveling and I’m glad I did! Best El Chico I’ve dined at by far. Our server was fantastic, friendly and quick. Definitely recommend stopping for lunch.
Great atmosphere and we got seated quickly. The waitress we had was awesome!
J T was my friendly wait staff. After a long drive across AR headed to my home in E TX & needed a break so I pulled into my favorite Mexican restaurant. J T brightened my weary mind & soul with her sweet personality & attentive service. Thank you J T for the great service!
Great Mexican restaurant here in Texarkana! I'd say the prices are decently priced and they also have a children's menu which is great. Our server was very friendly and the place was comfortable and not too rowdy. They also have a bar available and great complimentaries. A great stop for some food!
