El Mexsal

Hands down the best margarita I ever had and the food was really delicious also !

My Fiancé and I really enjoyed the guacamole, beer and entrees. Services was very nice and attentive as well! We will be back!

This is a hidden gem and I found it by chance on Christmas Eve. The restaurant has a sign inside that it is under new management.

I was greeted upon entry by one of the friendly staff members. My server, Brenda was very efficient and friendly. The inside is quaint with a few booths, several tables, and a decent sized bar. Chips and salsa were provided. I like the cilantro in the salsa. My food came out fast and hot! I ordered Texana fajitas with steak, chicken & shrimp accompanied with rice, salad. The food was seasoned very well. The rice could have been a meal by itself— delicious. I ordered a side of guacamole which was perfect! The portions are generous and prices reasonable. I have leftovers!

The restaurant was clean. The bathroom was clean and fully stocked with paper towels and soap.

Quite empty really. No latin atmosphere. We ordered la cena salvadoreña y una carne asada & we were fully expecting the steak to be juicy & flavorful. That’s not what we got. It was dry & not seasoned at all. Like I had to add salt & pepper and it still wasn’t enough. The horchata was okay & the service was okay. The carne asada portion is big but the cena salvadoreña wasn’t. Mine came with a lot more steak than my husbands. I offered to share but neither one of us liked the steak. The tortillas were handmade but really thin. Usually in a Salvadoran restaurant you get thicker tortillas. With this being a “new” restaurant you would think the owner would rebrand it and make the atmosphere warm & inviting. It’s really just a big open space with tables surrounding a small dance floor & that’s it. There’s ALOT of competition in the area & if this restaurant doesn’t change then you’ll fade into the background. The server was nice but forgot to leave us silverware or napkins. Everything could use a refresh especially when we’re paying 53$ for 2 dinners & there wasn’t any white sauce like the other review said. Chips came with salsa & sour cream.
