About El Cajelito Mexican Restaurant and Bar

El Cajelito Mexican Restaurant and Bar offers filling fajitas with flavorful chicken, as well as traditional Mexican dishes like tacos de lengua. The service remains excellent, with staff providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Prices are reasonable. The building may not stand out, and the decor is dated but still charming. The food has been noted for its solid flavor, with the Pollo Loco grilled to perfection. The Texas fajitas and steak fajitas are also highlights, along with the loved carnitas and steak tacos.

Guests can enjoy a large front and atrium dining area, and in the rear, there is a cantina. Live music is featured on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The restaurant offers a decent selection of Silver, Blanco, and Reposado tequilas, enhancing the dining experience. Customers can choose individual dishes or request a buffet, providing flexibility in meal options. El Cajelito has become a must-try dining experience in Cherokee, especially with its tasty food and live music on weekends.

our bill was $75....when we got to the car the bank text and said they had charged us $90 and some change. the exact amount for a 20% tip and we left the tip on the table. they refused to accept responsibility and said to contact our bank. imagine the bank knowing what to charge for a tip or that we were eating in a restaurant. I have spent way more than the $15 they stole from us. but I hope my experience costs them way more for stealing from people.

We did take out as we were traveling. We ordered the highest price mixed Fajitas and we got to our destination it was a mixture of ground beef with chicken. I’ve never had ground beef fajitas before. If you do take out check your order before leaving the restaurant.

I love eating here! Their tacos are out of this world with fresh corn tortillas made in house. The lengua, carnitas and asada tacos are bomb. Taco salad is good!
