Best Tex-Mex in Lewisville. My husband took us out to eat the other night and we decided to try El Chico. I sure am glad we did! We started out with chips and salsa that they give to each table " on the house " and we ordered top shelf queso to go with it. It was wonderful !!! They didn't let us run out of chips , we had to tell them not to bring more or the kids wouldn't eat their dinner. Renee , our server , suggested we try the top shelf fajitas and my husband did. I had the Chicken and mushroom fajitas. It was Thursday night and the kids ate off the little amigos menu , which was only .99 cents and that included a drink ! We were pleasently suprised when we recieved the bill and with the friendly service and great food at affordable prices we have decided to make this our place to have our family night out every week .

Best Family Style Tex Mex in North Texas!. I use city search constantly to find the best there is in Texas. I have never felt compelled to write a review until tonight. We took our family of 5 out to eat and by chance found El Chico. We were greeted at the door by both manager and staff . They were genuinely happy to see us and the other customers who arrived. The manager was especially personable and came by our table more than once to make sure we were enjoying our experience. He did this with each and every customer . Our waitress Ashley was the best quick and efficient , she anticipated all our needs. Also personable and never stopped smiling! Our sons ages 1,4,9 were cranky and impatient , Miss Ashley supplied them with crayons and color pages,and some tortilla dough to use as play dough. They cheered right up it was the first fun meal we have had with them dining out. The food was excellent ! I recommend the enchiladas platter the chicken spinach was top notch. The chicken fajitas are terrific as well.They have a kids menu as well as one for big amigos. If you get the chance try the chip and dip appetizers. The portions were large .Our dinner was served fast fresh and hot! The menu prices are very reasonable and within the budget of even large families. We were surprised to see that their wasn't more customers there . Maybe it's the location . If you like Mexican and you havn't tried it your missing out.

Serving up heaping portions of Mexican favorites since 1940.. In Short
This Southern chain serves Tex-Mex and Mexican staples to large groups and families who come to gab over unlimited chips and hearty food staples. The Southwestern decor features bright colored walls and thick terracotta-tiled floors. Classic El Chico combinations, around since the company started in 1940, heap tamales, cheese enchiladas and refried beans on one plate. Tex-Mex items represent tastes for fajitas, soft tacos and enchiladas verde.
