    I get there and the girl up-front is talking to a friend and ignores me for about two minutes and then asks how she can help. I tell her I'm there to pick up an order and she says okay I'll check in a few minutes and continue talking to her friend. I then sit down and wait, I walk up to the front she not there. After about 2 minutes she comes back and she says "how can I help you" and I respond with "I already came up and talked to you and she responds with "oh, what's the name again and so i tell her. She goes to walk away and she says some bull about how she didn't forget that the kitchen probably wasn't done yet and that's why she didn't bring it to me. She then goes in the bank and brings me the wrong order, when only 20 seconds before I told her the name and then she asks for the name again and finally brings me my food. Extremely unprofessional, crappy customer service, at least upfront, great food and atmosphere though

    It's a good lil restaurant, but for me the portion size wasn't enough. I ordered the AACP with steak, chicken and shrimp and the flavors were really good. The home made corn tortillas were awesome and I felt the price point was good if just wasn't enough. To be fair I why for lunch so I'm definitely going to try dinner.

    We ordered lunch for our staff today from El Mexicano Tacos & Tequila, and everyone really enjoyed it. Our order included the Lunch A.C.P. with grilled chicken, Taco Salad with chicken tinga, Camarones al Ajillo with rice and handmade corn tortillas, and plenty of sweet tea. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made for a great lunch during a busy workday. It is always nice to have a local restaurant that makes feeding the whole team easy and gives everyone plenty of options to choose from. We appreciate El Mexicano taking good care of us today, and we will definitely be ordering again.

    It's small and a little bit out of the way the parking isn't phenomenal but it's well worth the wait my husband has been around the world and is a chef himself and he could not put down his fork. It's quickly and easily become his favorite restaurant as far as Mexican food on the east coast. Ver vibrant but professional environment, not geared towards families with small kids but, wonderful date night spot, fancy but still down to earth. Big fan of the Chicken Fajitas.
