They're actually always pretty good, for my experiences. I have nothing bad to say. Thank you. The restaurant is always clean, the service is usually great, and the food has been great for years

The original chips were your staple now there bland stale chips. Grew up going there every Wednesday. Not any more. New owners are only interested in money

We only eat there if Marco is there, we sit in the bar area. Marco is one of a kind! My daughter and son-in-law Glen and Jenna Bradshaw took me there 1 or 2 times. We sat down & Marco makes eye contact with Glen he nods like, ok I got you & Glen nods back. He started bringing our drinks, chips hot sauce, the queso with beef, avocado, sour cream. A hot thick flavored appetizer, and it's a big soup bowl... Marco ask Glen, the usual on drinks, meaning, the alcohol drinks! Glen nods yes, it's for my daughter, Glen doesn't drink & I don't anymore. He already brought out tea, water, ECT. The drinks are special by what all he can remember!!! He brings the drink back, Glen gives it to Jenna, she tasted if it, thumbs up! He knows I like onions a taco, my enchilada w)cheese queso & extra onions on my plate. Know you take Marco, he can remember all our likes/dislikes down to onions! Now multiply that with about 50 people a day? Great mind....
I've been so ready for Tex Mex food, get there, no Marco? Glen opens the door to leave. Yes then ask what do y'all want to eat now. Anyway, Marco is friendly, professional, and the mind of an elephant! He knows if you like top shelf, or extra strong to a ligh weight on your liquor!
Ok People, you either like or dislike EF! Those that like it, give Marco a try! He's the waiter you definitely wanna leave a good tip for! If the bar area is full he will seat you right out of the bar area and make his magic happen!!!
Remember the elephant I mentioned? Marco has those same horns, You'll See... Enjoy... Sherrie (mother-in-law)

Mother & I stopped in for lunch to see if EF still had it's recipe touches as we remember from the 80's. The beef enchiladas w/ carne sauce & crispy taco are still a hit! Original Chips n' Salsa are still crispy and lightly salted; salsa flavor is the same as when I was a kid. Mother ordered the new TX Brisket Enchiladas (pic) that match really well with the savory black beans. They are topped with red Ahaheim Chili sauce which has a kick btw. Chad was our courteous waiter & went above & beyond to offer substitutions for sauce toppings which was very nice of him to suggest. He was still very attentive as the busy lunch rush progressed. We had to end the meal with the good ole Sopapillas w/honey (pic) & even added a bag of Chips to go which Chad took right off the shelf for us. The pricing is very reasonable compared to other Tex-Mex establishments which was another nice surprise. We will be back sooner than later, so thank you EF for not losing your touch after all these years....
