El Especial is a Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall, known for its authentic atmosphere and delicious food. The interior is vibrant and clean, providing a pleasant dining experience. Customers have praised the food as truly authentic, with many noting that it is clearly made from scratch. The chicken has received high marks, while the steak in the steak quesadillas was a bit tough. The taco and pozole are fresh and delicious, earning them top-notch reviews. The taco sauces and affordable prices have also been highlighted.
The restaurant can get very busy, which may lead to slow service and longer wait times than expected. The burrito dinner plate remains a popular choice, served with rice, beans, and a small salad with Catalina/French dressing. The beans are richer and creamier than standard fare, and a unique side of boiled potato and beef in broth accompanies the burritos. The tortillas are light and delicate, and the pozole is a warm and comforting dish, perfect for those in need of recovery. While the radish in the pozole was not fresh, overall, the food at El Especial has been well-received.
The restaurant is also kid-friendly, with fun decor and space for kids to move around, making it a welcoming dining experience for families. The kind and hardworking staff contribute to a pleasant atmosphere, ensuring customers feel at home.
