I have been going to El Carrizo for years now and I have ate at plenty of Mexican restaurants in town. While I wouldn’t say they have the best food in town, I would say they deliver the same quality food I expect each time and it is well worth the price. Service here is always extremely fast and staff are friendly. Would recommend to everyone.
My rankings of just a few Mexican restaurants in the area:
Sapo’s > El Carrizo > El Vaquero

They always have terrible service. Waited 45 minutes for my food and just walked out after it never came to the table. Party beside me got their food and to go boxes once they were done eating. I guess they only serve based on who they think will tip more. Always has been and always will be a mediocre restaurant.

I waited over an hour for take out. The lady at the country, grey sweater, today me it would take 10 mins, but when I checked again she said 20 mins. I waited over 50 mins, when she finally told me the order hasn't even been made.
