Wow, a million stars to El Original! Best Mexican food ever. We’ve been here a ton and have consistently received EXCELLENT food, EXCEPTIONAL service, and it’s always super clean. It’s a wonderful environment. We’ve had the owner as our server many, many times. He’s always super happy and genuinely kind and attentive to our needs. All the servers are wonderful. Fair prices, EXCELLENT excellent food, gluten-free options like nowhere else. I highly recommend frequenting this restaurant. I’ll see you there! Photos are of the David’s Special (chicken) & Tito’s Special (shrimp). Yum!! Best queso, salsa, & chips you’ll ever have!

The service is easily the friendliest I’ve encountered on my visits to restaurants. The atmosphere was so really neat. The food was ok. It was salty and the salsa was one of the blandest I’ve had. I will say the people there were so sweet and accommodating that I will go back one more time to see if it changes a bit. Definitely lots of potential.

Alright, this place is legit. We got a bunch of items and they came out great. Free chips and salsa too, alot places don’t give that out for free anymore but this place still does. Our waiter was awesome, he gave a few different salsa to try and kept our waters full.

The food was absolutely delicious! It reminded me of my dad, which tells me the cooks put a lot of care into their food. I had the fajitas, and they were the best fajitas I have ever consumed. I was so full I thought I was going to vomit, the food is that good!

I adore this place. I had gotten carry out before but never had the time to go in and sit. I’m so glad we finally got the chance. There’s so many choices on the menu and absolutely all of them look so tasty. The servers were super attentive and any beverages that were emptied were filled almost immediately. We will definitely be back again.

Went for my birthday. Upon arrival we were greated by a fun and friendly staff. They were very attentive throughout the meal and while also letting our group celebrate. The wooden bench backs were beautifully carved and painted and lent to a fun atmosphere and gave lots to look at. All of the food was amazing and everyone in our group had ordered a different item. Easily the best Mexican I’ve ever had. Will absolutely go back for every reason!

Great food, fun staff, an amazing menu. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. It was fun to have our waiter make our guacamole fresh at our table to our request with several ingredients to choose from. We really enjoy going here for a meal.

I came to this resturant when it was just opening and it was fantastic. Tonight I came for a second visit and I have to say I was compleyely disapointed. The Margarita was way sweet and tasted like there was no taquilla in it. I love a crispy fried chimmichanga, especially when it is available with steak filling. This one was filled with fajita steak that tasted like it had been warmed up for the third or fourth time and there is no way it went anywhere near a frier. I would have been better off ordering a burito to save the kitchen the (lack of) effort and myself the expectation. I would no longer recommend this place. It is just a standard run-of-the-mill tex mex place that uas quit trying. It is a real shame too.
