I love the food at El Niagra. The service is excellent always. Tonight we ordered tacos - Al pastor for me and regular tacos for my husband. Amazing, simple, good food. Flavorful!! Great ambiance. Their flan is almost as good as my mom makes it! 🤣🥰. Manuel is great, very accommodating and make good food recommendations.
We visited on Saturday, October 11, 2025. It was my second time here but the people I went with love this place and come frequently. Only a few minutes right outside Woodstock Square, I really enjoyed my tacos. Our server Manuel is really awesome and friendly and overall I just had a really positive experience. Will definitely be back again. (Written 10-19-25)

Typically I have a great experience. Tonight, food quality was low. I had kids with me that ordered grilled cheese. In the past, it’s been well toasted, on large slices of bread (think Texas toast). Tonight it was white bread, and still white and soggy.
We had them remake them, but it took so long, the rest of the table had finished eating and was waiting in the car. I took the remakes to go, but they had the same problem. We never left the parking lot, I gave one of the orders back to the server and showed him. We had already paid, and we went home to make the kids grilled cheese. Easy enough to do it yourself, so no reason to wait around. The rest of the experience was alright.

It's literally one of my favorite restaurants! I look forward to coming here, and I'm NEVER disappointed. Manuel is amazing and is the friendliest and most personable guy ever. He always remembers what I order, and that speaks volumes. In fact, the entire staff is friendly and engaging with patrons. My entire family loves coming here, and we rave about this restaurant to everyone!

This place has been my favorite for over 20 years now. I'm a foodie and have tried several places and this is the best around, by far. When you walk in, you are treated like family. You can seat yourself, if there are booths or tables available. They get busy fast after 5:30 pm. They bring you warm, homemade chips that are incredible and the salsa is perfect...thick with just a little bit of a kick. I have tried the majority of their dishes and everything is absolutely delicious. They have the best Margaritas, too...on the rocks or frozen. Their prices are great for the portions you receive. Most nights our bill is $25 bucks for 2 people. You can't beat that! I can't recommend this place enough. Go, go, go!!

Always a great meal and attentive staff. We enjoy the atmosphere as well as the food.
Solid Mexican-American food and been here a long time. Good, quick service. And very decent top-shelf margaritas. No problems upgrading the tequila either. What more do you ask? I ordered my standard Mexican-restaurant-tester-dish, Chili Relleños and it was quite decent, 7 on a scale of 10 with a real fresh-stuffed chili. The service is with a smile, too. Chips are freshly made and crispy, albeit a bit greasy for me. And flan is good and creamy ?

First time visit with family and really loved the food. All had taco salads and will definitely try something different next visit. Great atmosphere too! Service could’ve been a tad bit better meaning being more attentive. Other than that it was amazing! Definitely recommend to all. Thank you!

My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary with lunch at El Niagara in Woodstock, and it exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was outstanding. We enjoyed flavorful margaritas (mango for me and strawberry for him) that paired perfectly with our nachos appetizer and burrito entrées—my husband added jalapeños to his for an extra kick.
What truly made the experience memorable was the exceptional service from Natalie. She was incredibly kind and attentive, and her personal touch made our celebration feel special. She even treated us to a complimentary dessert of our choice, which we happily chose as fried ice cream with churros. During our conversation, Natalie shared that her cousins own the restaurant, which added a lovely personal connection to the experience.
We were so impressed that we’ve already talked about making El Niagara a tradition more than once a year. I don’t write many reviews, but this one felt worth sharing. Highly recommend!
