Food is consistently good. Some of the servers are not friendly. They do have lunch specials that are affordable and delicious.

Bill Magee

Employees are rude on 2 go orders . Food is okay nothing special.

The service was incredible and fast. Extremely friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. A breath of fresh air after a recent encounter with another “Mexican” restaurant in town that was extremely disappointing and quite frankly, disgusting. Will most definitely be eating here again!

I haven’t been here since June 2024 because of bad service and bad food but I thought I would give it another chance. $16.99 for Carne Asada and half of it was fat. A Gentlemen set me, same gentlemen got my drink he was vey friendly. Waitress named Vicky took my order and brought me my food and brought me the bill. She never once came back and checked on me. The service in this establishment is subpar at very best and the food has become disgusting, when this place first open it was really good, but it has gone downhill.

I don't normally write bad reviews but our experience was so bad here, I felt I had to.

We accidentally ordered from this location instead of the Nixa location and instead of cancelling our order, we decided to do the right thing and drive to pick it up. I wish we'd just have bailed on the food.

When I arrived, I found our takeout order in a bag, sitting on a counter by the checkout which was also by the front door, unattended. After paying, the worker handed me the bag and said "I guess they put everything in there." While making sure there were 3 dinner size containers, the cheese dip we ordered and salsa and chips, I noticed the cheese was barely the size for 1 person. I asked if that was the large that I ordered and they said yes, that it's only 8 ozs. So I said, I can't believe that's the biggest size you have (because that's what I was told on the phone when ordering) and they told me it wasn't. So I had to pay an additional $6 to get the larger size and wait for them to fix that.

Then we get home to find that they didn't put the sides in with one of the dinner meals, and all of the food was very cold. We also only had 1 bag of chips and about 6oz of salsa for 3 people to share.

Now maybe we're spoiled but at the Nixa location we get 2 bags of chips and 1 - 8oz salsa per dinner meal every time. So to say we were let down is an understatement. I will never make this mistake again, we will always be going to the Nixa location.

El Puente is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Springfield. We love their salsa. Our favorite dishes are Oaxaca Special, King Burrito, and Pablanos.

I was looking for lunch one day and noticed it off of Republic Rd. I thought I'd try it and I couldn't have been more impressed! I had the enchiladas and they were great! The portion was large, price was fair and the service was perfect! Highly recommend.

This place used to me more authentic. The food was bland and the tortillas weren't very fresh. I ordered the fish tacos and it looked like they just put two fish sticks in a dry tortilla. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for authenticity.
