Just moved to town, trying out one of the few places listed as open on a Sunday. When we walked in, we were greeted immediately, told to sit anywhere and the server came over to take our drink order. We got the drinks quickly and some chips and salsa, we ordered some queso for it as well, I enjoyed the queso, my fiance said it was missing something and scooped in some hot salsa and said it was better. I was complaining about lack of pineapple earlier in the day and low and behold they had a Hawaiian fajita on the menu so I ordered that and my fiance ordered a steak one. I asked for no beans, just the rice and it came out exactly as I ordered. The meal itself was good, the pineapple hit the spot, there was some good char on the meat giving the perfect amount of flavor addition. At first I was questioning why only 3 tortillas, as there was definitely more than would fit in them in the cast iron skillet it was served on. But I probably could have stopped at 2 and been fine. But I will admit I ate all three. My fiance liked her food and she saved enough for dessert of fried ice cream. Fried ice cream isn't my normal cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. We will definitely come back to try some other menu items, first time out the food and service was great!

We have been coming here twice a month or more for 6 years. That will no longer be the case. We had the worst experience with the rudest manager (Elizabeth) over a price complaint we had. We have always ordered the ribeye plate which used to be $17.99 (great price)! Then it increased to $22.99 (pricey but good steak). We ordered it today and the price… $38.99! I asked to see the menu because maybe I missed the price. The menu price shows m.p. Which I asked Elizabeth what that meant and to which she responded “well All of our customers know what that means and that’s market price”! “I would understand your confusion but you had the menu”! Well I have been a customer for 6 years and that is super deceiving! What you need to do is educate and train your servers to better communicate Your Price Gouging techniques so All customers don’t feel robbed!!! By the way your online menu still has the price listed at $22.99 so you are Falsely Advertising and that could get you into a lot of legal trouble Elizabeth, but All people know that! We will NEVER eat here again! Elizabeth, you lost some loyal customers with your Rude and Condescending attitude! Owners of El Mexicano grill, you really need a retraining of your entire staff.

We had such a great experience at El Mexicano Grill! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the space was clean, comfortable, and spacious — perfect for a relaxed meal. The live guacamole was a fun touch! It was made fresh right at our table and completely customizable. We asked for no jalapeños, and they happily adjusted it for us. The burrito was massive and packed with flavor — definitely come hungry! The chicken and steak fajita combo was another standout, with both meats cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Plus, it’s a protein-lover’s dream. And let’s talk about the chips, queso, and salsa — hands down the best I’ve had in a long time! The chips were warm and fresh, and the queso and salsa were both bursting with flavor. We’ll definitely be back!

This was my first, and last trip to this establishment. I have worked for years as a server and have the utmost respect for the work that they put in, I start with a baseline 25% tip barring very bad service. It is no exaggeration to state that this was some of the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. First, ordered a bowl of queso and Guacamole as an appetizer. We received the queso, and when the server came to take our orders I asked if the server had heard (because of the noise) that we had ordered an appetizer of Guacamole to which our server simply nodded in response. By this point, all of our drinks were empty, but the server had brought the table waters in place of the beverages which we ordered. We never received another refill. When we received our food, we still had not received our Guacamole appetizer, one entree came without beans, one came with charro beans despite having ordered refried, the fajita skillet came out cold to the touch, same as the meat on the platter. There were no tortillas delivered with our fajitas. After our food was dropped off, there was no check in to our table for over 5 minutes, at said point I had to go to the server station to ask for tortillas wherein I expressed we needed flour tortillas, afterwards we were brought corn tortillas to which our server tried to tell us they were flour which they were very clearly not. At this point, I decided it was worth bringing to the attention of the manager. I waited at the bar for a few minutes (completely understandable on a Saturday night) and the moment I attempted to explain to the manager what all had gone wrong I was told "no, you're wrong that never happens - which table are you at?" I gestured to the table and then the manager went to our table and proceeded to tell us that we didn't order the things we did and that all of the mistakes were our fault and were offered nothing further. Upon receiving the ticket, where a lemonade was ordered it was charged as an aqua fresca which was $2 more than a soft drink. We asked the manager about this and were told that the prices for the drink were the same and once again we were mistaken. At this point we felt the two dollars was lost and the best course of action would be to never patronize this establishment again and...

This place here I have to say is by far the best mexican food my taste buds have appreciated me for letting them experince this. The Supper Cassandra Molcajete is awsome. It comes in a LARGE Molacajete abvious the name, it has shrimp chicken beef topped with veggies like onions bellpeppers mushroom as well as cactus YES cactus the one with thorns but this dish has no thorns just tons and tons of layers of flavor. The best part its covered in cheese melted pepper jack and Monterey cheese, and when they bring it out to you its in flames its such a wonderful presentation! My favorite dish they have is called Camarones Enmomiados about 8 jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon cheese jalapenos with a bowl of wing sauce I get mine with rice and fries so damn good. Iv never had shrimp this delicious prepared this way so simple yet so good (expect for mine lol) but to have someone else make them by far the best here iv had. Another dish iv had the Bistec Ranchero with peppers and onions the jalapenos give a kick. They come with rice beans tortillas and a small lettuce wrap with sour cream guac and pico. I love this dish because it's another version of fajitas mixed all together. The service is awsome there on top of your table making sure your doing good, cups full of drink great place for family even tho its small its big enough for partys of 10. Deffinitly recommend if your around the waxahachie...
