I saw 4.8 stars and 1500 reviews and thought it was a safe bet. This was a really disappointing to go experience. This is their quesadilla. It’s a soggy mess.

Our visit could have been great. But the food was under-seasoned and every dish was a bit bland.

I got the molcajete alegre, amazing. Spicy! I'll get at leadt a few meals out of it. Also got the original margarita, it was very very good, 10/10. The restaurant is big but doesnt feel crowded. No blasting music, harsh lighting, no loud sports on the TV (it's there to watch, but not playing loudly, thank god). The service was fast and servers were attentive. Can't wait to go back!

We really enjoyed the meal, the chips and salsa before dinner and the lovely atmosphere. Our server was hard to find most of the time. Trying to get a check so we could leave took a while. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place.

We always see El Muchacho with a pretty packed parking lot so decided to finally check it out. They have a great variety of entrees and their alcohol selection was nice as well. Good portions of food and the drink was way bigger than expected which was a nice surprise. Free chips and salsa as well so really don’t have anything to complain about. If you’re in the mood for Mexican and you’re nearby, give it a try
