I lived here about 10 years ago and el lugar used to be amazing. Best food in town. I'd wait how ever long to get food and pay any price. I just got my usual beef and chicken Tacos and wow this place is mid. Everything was dry and bland. The cabbage was dry and old tasting. The tomato's had that translucent look as if they were old...maybe my tastes have changed in 10 years. Maybe it's because I've lived in central tx for those 10 years and was exposed to some truly amazing food down there. Or maybe they have changed as far as their food quality. With how expensive everything is, eating out for even $15-$20 is a treat. We won't be back as a lot of times I don't have the extra money to eat out so if I do I don't want to Risk a bad meal. Maybe when the economy chills tf out I'll give them another try but until then I'll stick to places I know serve bangers.

Food was delicious love how they over stuffed the flautas and piled a lot of cheese on top. I highly recommend it.

The meat was not packed with flavor but reasonably priced for the portions. Overall it tasted fine. I wouldn't say it was a hit or a miss. I would come back for the taco's ? not the burrito ?. The torta did look like it was worth trying. Will try that next time

I grew up in Texas and the El Lugar family has been around for decades. In my opinion the #7 super quesadilla is one of the best quesadillas you will find ANYWHERE!!! The corn chip quesadilla salad is fire also. Plus they make your food from scratch right in front of you! I was in my teens when I first tried the #7. Hooked immediately. Back then there was only one location and now I think they have 5 or 6. Trust me waiting in line is definitely worth it. Do not let that deter you. I don't know their beef recipe but it is meaty goodness. 7 stars out of 5 stars lol. Very friendly service and cute waitresses. Watch out for the green sauce unless you are brave enough.

Don't pay in advance because it takes longer. I ordered a super quesadilla. I waited 30 minutes and no one came out. Just the cook came out to smoke. I left with nothing and paid for it.

The one on 5th St is way better. The food is better, the place is cleaner and the service is much friendlier.
