Good food, large portions and polite service. However, two things restrain me from giving 5 stars: 1. Starters were served with main meal which does not make it a “starter”. We sat for 30 minutes without any food and then received all. 2. Drinks. Drinks were ok but I feel like they’re were not make from very good ingredients (e.g. cheap cranberry juice). Overall, good place to eat with your friends/family.

Great experience every single time! I've been going to El Chicos for over 7years and it has always been a pleasure. When I went plant based it was one of the only restaurants which adapted with the times a created a menu suitable for us to dine with our family and still leave with our bellies full

Open late, friendly staff though service isn't the fastest. Food is perfectly tasty but very expensive for the portion size (their fajitas tortillas are literally the same as their soft taco shells :') )
