I really enjoy my time here..and the food…and the beer taps! The food is always very thoughtfully presented and consistent flavors. The variety of salsas with your chips + beans, just for snacks?! Who does that?! Only El Chicano. Seriously, I have traveled the country and have never gotten beans to snack on too. Plus, they are delicious freaking beans! Clearly family run with love, I really dig that since I come from the same life in an Italian restaurant. BEER TAPS MATTER! and El Chicano does NOT disappoint!! When those beautiful taps are running they are the most crisp and clean taps in town. They even serve Sierra Nevada Celebration!! My holiday favorite (especially on tap). I wanted to make it a point to come home and write this review. Well deserved. Try El Chicano.
I’m not vegetarian, but my husband is.
Vegetarian options: several
Quick points: instead of meat there are added vegetables to popular Mexican dishes such as; carrots, baby corn & mushrooms and zucchini. No complaints. He definitely appreciates the efforts of providing great efforts for added vegetables! Though beans are a renowned source of protein, it would be great to see some added vegetable proteins in addition to the veggies or instead of the veggies to the menu too. Items such as possibly tofu or (preferably) pea protein crumbles that can be used similarly to ground beef.
P.S. try the chilaquiles with a fried over medium egg.
@americasbestrestaurants you missed a spot when you came through!!

Amazing food and service was quick and courteous. One of the best Mexican restaurants for sure. They give complementary chips and salsa like many other places but they give pinto bean paste too which along with the 3 salsas tastes so good. Their entree portions are huge. Everything tasted delicious esp the chicken mole. I requested them to make it spicy and it was on point. We also ordered veggie and chicken fajitas. Everyone loved it.
Do stop by at this restaurant when you are in town.

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Loved the chips and salsas especially the refried beans to dip. The chimichanga was fabulous and so were the tacos and burritos, which we unfortunately didn’t take a picture of.

Hands down, best Mexican food I’ve ever had. If you like saucy food, made from scratch, tons of flavor, and authentic, this is the place.
Totally impressed by the multiple salsas and bean dip, and fresh chips.
The mole was outstanding, my green enchiladas were killer!!! I love that we can choose black beans. The portions were huge! Service was great.
Only downside is cash only tips, and we didn’t have any cash!!!! Bring cash!!!

The mole chicken enchiladas are truly the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. The flavor is incredibly unique! rich, complex, and unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Every bite was absolutely unforgettable. The pollo a la crema was also amazing!! creamy and full of delicious flavor.
Another huge plus is that they’re open late, which is honestly one of my favorite things about this place. It’s so nice to have a spot that delivers such high-quality food even during late hours. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t wait to come back and try even more dishes!

I always pass through willits instead of by adding the small town to enjoy the charm and it’s been along time since I stopped here to eat and I did with my mother last night and it was delicious! The atmosphere was comfortable, nice big booth seats and great service. My mother got the grilled veggies soft taco, very good. But let me just say the mole is so good! I got the super mole chicken burrito and it was huge and the left overs were even better today. I would absolutely recommend this place and will be back when I pass through again. Thank you for reminding my palette how good door can be!

This may not be the best Mole I’ve ever had, but if you like mole, you’re going to walk away happy and full. Possibly with leftovers! Pollo Creama was top shelf as well.
My only warning: Cash Only Tipping. You can pay with debit or credit card, but I ended up shorting my poor server because I’d tapped out my cash earlier on my trip. All I had was two fresh $2 bills. Those mean a lot to me, but he deserved more for his service. So when you go, be sure you’ve a $5 or a $10 for your waiter!!

This restaurant was wonderful! There was an abundance of food served on our plates that was well-seasoned and so very tasty! The service was kind, quick and efficient. They serve beer and wine as well as water for the pups on the patio. It’s a very friendly, tasty stop to make!

I make better omelettes than 100s of places I’ve tried…. this one has been on my mind since having it a month ago. It’s amazing!
Chicano omelette with chicken. It’s two meals worth of food and super delicious.
The place was almost empty in the morning, not fancy but clean and nice. The server guy was very nice person.
I’ll send people here as a destination breakfast.

These guys rock! Juan and his family are great and always serve big delicious portions with a smile! They also have one of the best craft beer selections on tap in Mendocino county!! I also used to work with them for another company, so I know they care about their foods & brews and it being served clean & fresh! Definitely must stop by if in WILLITS.
