We go here about once a week. They have a wide assortment of food. Their drinks are great also. And the service is always fast.

Saturday evening at 6:00; they don't take reserveations so we had to wait 10 minutes for a table for six. Bar limited to margaritas and beer. Reasonably prices and very generous sized drinks. Chips and salsa were good and disappeared reapidly Wife and I had the chicken mole enchiladas. Good food but nothing special, mole was OK but not the best I've had. Came with Spanish rice and a small pot of beans. Small bunuelas for dessert. Elizabeth was our server, very efficient and prompt.

Used to come here regularly before moving out of state. So when we come for a visit we make it a point to eat at TWE. Tacos are great and so are the enchiladas. Service is always crisp and friendly. Pretty good margarita. Love the salsa. Had to wait because of capacity issues during the pandemic but it wasn't bad.

The food was cold when served.. the lemonade I ordered had no real flavor. Just real disappointed overall with my meal..

The food was good, but a wee bit pricey for lunch. Polite help, classic ambiance but could use an updo.

This time was a better experience. Prices were higher than I remembered....however it was enough for 2 meals so I guess that helps. Near shopping area in Placentia so a good place to eat and shop in one stop.

We took our friends here for a good lunch. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It is decoratorate with roosters and a big fish tank and cheerful atmosphere. The service was good.and so was the food. I ordered their toastado and two others ordered burritos. The burritos are just about the right size. My husband and I went back another time for lunch and enjoyed the same good service and food. We would recommend this restaurant but it is a small restaurant.

We live in the area and eat here usually a couple times a month. For the most part the service is quick and friendly and they do a good job of keeping the place clean. The Chicken Enchiladas are my favorite and its hard to go wrong with that choice.

I have been here several times and I started out really craving the Cheese Enchiladas, then tried the Seafood Enchiladas with fruit instead of rice and beans, and that entree is my new favorite! The Seafood Enchiladas are filled with shrimp and imitation crabmeat (surimi), Colorado sauce, lots of melted cheese, and a dollop of tasty sour cream! The fruit consists of juicy watermelon, sweet honeydew melon, and tasty pearl sized grapes. The service is fast and friendly, and their chips and salsa are also fresh and delicious. At the end of your meal, they also give you complimentary dessert tortilla chips that have cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.

There are a lot of good Mexican restaurants in So Cal. And some truly transcendent ones. Whole Enchilada falls some where in the middle. Food is always good, prices are moderate, and the help is friendly.
I have missed a restaurant in Fullerton called Anita's, so I was very happy to find this place. For me, it's all about the cheese enchilada's. Their enchilada's are gooey, melted goodness. Very flavorful too. I also really like their chicken tacos!

We come here a couple of times a month. I love the Chile rellenos just right amount of spicy cheesy goodness. Family goes for the red chili and the carnitas. Plenty of warm chips, fresh salsa.

Having lived in Mexico for 8 years, we're always "picky-picky" about authentic Mexican food, from-scratch ingredients, that are true to legitimate Mexican cooking. Their fresh guacamole made at your table is a must-do. Recently, the owner came in with family and grandchildren, was seated and served like any customer - which speaks highly of their both management and staff. Hint: Go early if you possibly can.

Our family eats here every week. It's not huge like El Torito but just big enough to make you feel comfortable. The food is delicious! They have a sample appetizer platter that you can order that's really good! We tried there Albondigas soup, Menudo, Enchiladas, Tacos. Combo dinners, everything's great! We like getting the Chile Relleno which is the best! Better than El Farolitos or El Cantarito. The complimentary corn chips and salsa are the best too! The chips are thin and crispy but strong enough to scoop up the yummy salsa:) BTW: When you first walk in your surprised to see a beautiful aquarium too!
