Best Mexican food in York County!
I've always enjoyed ordering food from here for years but got a bad case of food poisoning from their bbq tacos the other night. All of the food seemed off like it was sitting out for hours enough to be spoiled and go stale. Will never order here again.
Everything was delicious!!! 10/10 food
It’s not Tex-Mex (which I’m used to), but for Maine it’s pretty good!
The chips were fresh and warm, the salsa was fresh and had the perfect amount of heat (both red and green tomatillo). We ate the whole bowl lol
My husband had a steak taco salad and a Baja fish taco on the side. He loved the taco salad but said the fish taco felt like a frozen piece of fish in a tortilla (despite being in Maine where there is fresh fish everywhere!).
I had the special which consisted of two chile rellenos and a crunch taco. The taco had plenty of ground beef and I was happy the shell was fresh. I was also happy that the chile rellenos wasn’t dipped in batter and fried. It was just the cooked pepper stuffed with cheese and I really liked it.
The food was good (despite the fish taco) and the service was ok. It did take awhile for the waiter to come to our table to ask for our drinks and it also took him awhile to check on us - we had to flag him down for more chips.
The prices are reasonable and I felt like we didn’t overpay.
Overall it was a good little find and I know we will be back.
Very good food at a fair price
The food was amazing and such a great price!
I used to love this place but now they appear to be under new ownership. The salsa is bland, the tortilla chips aren’t as good. The food is generally just tasteless and bland now.
Bummer.
They made my food wrong. I patiently waited 20 minutes for somebody to come back to the table. Nobody did so. I left the money for my meal on the table and left. I’ll never be back.
I have tried many different restaurants, Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish, Mediterranean . El Mexicano was one of the best, homey, delicious . We love it and highly recommend it!

Delicious Taco Plate: you choose two types of soft Taco's. I choose Hongas Taco with Mango in it...so good. The 2nd choice was with Haddock in it but after eating eating the Hongas......I wished both my choices had been Hongas. Also they made a delicious virgin Pino Colada.
Their music was up too loud for us. The chips n Salsa was also pretty good.

I don’t usually go to Maine for Mexican food but now I know if I do I’ll be coming back to this joint.
Chipotle burrito was top notch. Don’t ask me what was on it but by god It made me wanna go to Mexico and run for president. Servers were very polite and place was clean.
