I went to eat lunch. I had the beef nachos. They were seasoned well and the garnished was great. My server always checked on me. My server was kind and generous. She kept my drink full. She offered dessert. Which I had the sopaphilla. It was warm and delicious. I visited the location in Rockwall Texas.

I’ve had literally the hardest 2 weeks ever and really needed my mom. She passed 5 years ago.. so me and my kiddos were hungry and decided let’s go to el Chico for dinner! Just to be close to her.. this was her favorite restaurant. We get there and go inside and it smells like my childhood! All I wanted was the kids Mexican pizza. I was informed that they had changed it and it wasn’t the same… of course I was bummed. But the waitress went and asked the staff how it was...

This has been my favorite restaurant since childhood. I have been saddened to see the restaurants close down through the years and the only one left that is near me is Rockwall, however it is always a treat to go there. The last few times we've had a waiter named Ash and he is PHENOMENAL.
