Delicious food. The fajitas came out on a steaming plate. The beans and rice were exceptionally good. Restaurant is a little hard to find, though. Just turn off of highway 89, and I think if you use google maps you shouldn’t have too much trouble. The servers were very attentive and accommodating. The prices are about average for a sit down Mexican restaurant. It is the best Mexican food in town.

Looking at the reviews they are great or poor. It seems to revolve around service. We went in during COVID-19 yellow where they just opened for inside dinning. They were staffed. Seating, water, chips & salsa, and order taken quickly. The food was Abit delayed, but it was Saturday night and they were busy. Many were waiting for pickup. My wife had a veggie buritto, I had the carne asada dinner. Plenty of food, good flavors.

The food here is excellent! Very good portions and good service. I only wish they would update the dining room, a lot of the seats are worn out and torn and the carpet is always dirty making it really difficult to relax and eat, if they would replace the flooring and the seats I’m sure it would be easier to keep clean and would be more comfortable.

My wife and I live in Texas and have traveled all over the country. El Mexicano is the best authentic Mexican restaurant hands down. The service, and food are excellent. You won’t regret driving out of your way for it I promise. Free chips and salsa to. In Salina and Mt Pleasant. Wish we had one in San Antonio.

We love this place❤️. The interior isn’t 5 star so if that’s what you’re looking for then skip this place. BUT if it’s good Mexican food you’re looking for and quick and VERY polite servers then this is your place. It’s a small town, not NYC folks. They work hard and cook good food. We love to spend a Saturday drive going up there. (65 miles). Their Salina location is great too!

This was not the worst food we have ever had, but it wasn’t good either. It was just okay. Our overall experience however was not great. We had to ask for a refill on the chips and salsa and they only refilled one table (we had a big group). Some of the orders were wrong, some were cold. And the worst is that our waitress never came to check on us. We never got our water filled and we were there for almost an hour and a half. It took an hour to get our food and that was when it wasn’t busy. We planned on ordering dessert but had such a terrible experience we left after having the hostess get our check because our waitress was no where to be found.

I don’t know about the other reviews but service was excellent. They kept asking us if we needed drinks, if the food was good and hot. The food was delicious and I’m glad there’s a Mexican restaurant in Mount Pleasant that is not far from home. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to satisfy their Mexican food cravings!

In the area from Salt Lake, visiting family in the area, we stopped here for lunch recently. When thinking about a sit-down Mexican restaurant in a rural Utah town of around 3,000 people, I can’t say I had terribly high expectations. The reality was quite different, though. It was surprisingly tasty food, and everyone in our large party enjoyed their meals. I can’t say that it’d be much better than about average, if it were in Salt Lake. But given the location, it’s really not a bad option and has got to be one of the best sit-down Mexican restaurants in the area.
Who am I kidding… it’s probably the ONLY sit-down Mexican restaurant in the area. It’s worth a lunch stop, if you’re in the area.
That said, the food was good, but the service was lacking. I don’t generally have high expectations for service in Mexican restaurants (food service standards must be a cultural difference), however, this place seemed particularly slow at times. Not so much the food prep time, as much as waiting for drinks to be topped off, waiting for the check to come, etc. Still not a deal breaker, just worth noting, in the event you’re on a tight time schedule.

Usually very good! Today they were just OFF. We had to tell someone that we were waiting for our drink order after we gave it. Then we had to tell them we were ready to order thirty minutes after they got us our drinks. Then we waited and told them a second time that we were ready to order. Twenty minutes later, a hostess comes and takes our order. The visit went very smooth after we finally got help.
