El Olivo Mexican Food & Cantina — Restaurant in Sherman

I genuinely can not believe this place has 4.5 stars. They must be offering people discounts on their food for reviews or something like that. Because there is absolutely just no way. Especially the one that says best fajitas around…. I chose the chicken enchiladas and it was a literal crime against humanity. No way they mastered fajitas. The chicken was literal flakes, that’s the only way I can describe it. And 1000% unseasoned. The beans were literally liquid. Not a single bean was involved in the brown liquid either. The queso tasted like velveeta with some green chilies in it. Still the best thing we received out of everything. My husband got the fajita beef street tacos and omg... Literally packaged tortillas you get from the store, not even warmed up, with MORE unseasoned meat. For everyone who rated this place higher than 1 star, please contact me and I’ll make you WAY better Mexican food and I’m not even joking 😭 I make better street tacos at home with kinders seasoning. I have never in my life been so disappointed while eating Mexican food. And the fact that we paid $100 for 2 orders of enchilada, 6 tacos, and a burger with frozen fries makes it hurt even worse. Will never ever have the chance to do me like that again. I hope when this place closes down they bring taco casa back… and yes I said WHEN this place closes cause if something as good as TACO CASA can’t survive there, neither can this...

So the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful I think that they should continue to add more decoration but as far as a new age look goes, they've got it down for the most part. The very presentable professional and beautiful waitresses matched the already very clean scenery. The food, I will admit though, if you're looking for bigger portions this may not be the stop for you The food is very beautiful it is what you would call "instagram-worthy" My husband and I ordered the quesabirrias tacos which comes in an order of 3, added rice and beans, for each of us, and then for dessert we had a sopapilla with a scoop of vanilla ice cream each, The total came to $43. Personally I feel like it is very moderately priced I wouldn't necessarily consider it cheap. And I wouldn't even go as far as to say that it is a bang for your buck. If you're looking for a moderate amount of food, and to spend a moderate amount of money this is the place for you.. In my opinion this place makes a great first date location for a female especially because the portions are smaller and presented very "sleek" And it has a great wall with a cute grass backdrop with neon lights for a cute...

My family was dissatisfied. This is way overpriced. One pretty small request for sour cream, and I was charged $1.06 for it. The enmoladas I was served seemed dry and did not have a lot of mole. I asked for more and they said they had no more. Then a few minutes later they brought me more. The girl told me they come with rice and beans and they only gave me rice. Then later on,she said it doesn't come with beans.The flavor was not the greatest and my family was not pleased either. My son had the cream chicken enchiladas, and they weren't that great. He's usually easy to please, and this time he was the first one to say that he won't come back! The food seems to be better at Cielito Lindo, the Mexican restaurant a few blocks away. Their green chicken enchiladas with rice and beans are the best! They are better and less expensive than this place.

As it was the place was completely empty when we came. We should have known better. We do not recommend this place at all. Sorry. The are trying to place themselves at the level of ERNESTO'S Mexican restaurants when it comes to the price, but they're far away from getting there. I suggest lowering...
