The best authentic Mexican food we have had in the USA
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!
My carnitas plate was the most flavorful I’ve had in a very long time. The tortillas are excellent and thick. Staff was very nice and helpful. Food came out quickly and hot.

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.
