Competent. Not great but ok. Popular neighborhood restaurant but not worth driving out of your way to get there. The chips were cooked in old oil at too low a temperature for too long resulting in greasy off tasting chips. Salsas we’re a bit different with a heavy vinegar taste. Taco was tasteless. Enchiladas were competent.
The service was ok but no one had a smile, it was just a job. The one redeeming quality was the interior decor with it’s Mexican-funky vibe.
After weighing it all; We will not returning.

Went to El Vecino for the first time. Inside it has an inviting atmosphere. I was greeted immediately by staff. I placed my orders and service is very fast. Staff (Rambo) is very attentive. The food is great specially the sour cream chicken enchilada. I also ordered the prickly pear margarita and asked tajin around the glass, and it’s so good. Love it. Will come back again and bring my friends and coworkers.

El Vecino has been a staple in this neighborhood for many years!
I moved away from the neighborhood, but came back and thought I would hop in for a new experience of the place.
The restaurant seems tucked away, but once you enter through the front door, you realize how lively it can be!
I was seated very quickly despite it being busy and I met Yaz, an older gentleman, and a server that was very friendly and inviting. Despite it being just me, they gave me a booth of my preference. I’m usually pretty quick to order because I know what I want and I got the Big Johns Platter (See Photo).
I got chips almost immediately. My food came out so soon after that I was surprised.
The enchiladas were probably the highlight, although I do like my cheese enchiladas pretty cheesy and it had a long string of cheese when I ate a bite, which was amazing.
The beans and rice were very good.
The atmosphere was lively yet slightly dim, and although I don’t drink, I heard that their margaritas were fantastic.
I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable tasty place to relax with friends.

That was a very fun outing! I had never heard of this restaurant before, but it was a happening place! Great margaritas, of course! I got the Carne Asada y mole enchilada. The other dishes were Conchinita Pibil then enchiladas. Finished with coconut flan! It was really delicious!! I’d do that again! Definitely going back!

I had such a great experience here! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the service was super friendly. Their prickly pear drink was absolutely amazing — refreshing, unique, and perfectly balanced. I’ll definitely be coming back for that drink alone!

Great authentic Mexican restaurant tucked into the neighborhood area. We went on a Friday night, there was a 30 min wait but we were able to get a drink from the bar and sit and wait and time flew. The service and staff were all really friendly. The food came really quickly. I ordered the Taco Salad and loved it. It was very flavorful and it didn’t need the dressing. My drink was the Sangria Margarita and it was so good !
Overall great little spot to support. Will be going again!

We found El Vecino by accident after driving past another place that only had valet. I’m so glad we did! This place was amazing!
Our waiter Raul gave us the best service ever. He was friendly, fast, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you go, ask for Raul—you won’t regret it!
We had brunch and ordered the egg enchilada, queso, and chicken fajitas—everything was so good! We also tried the loaded queso and margarita swirls… wow!
The owner even came by to say hi and talk with us. That made it even more special.
El Vecino is a great place with amazing food and awesome people. We’ll definitely be back! Ashly and Larry

I was at a local photoshoot and hadn’t eaten all day so I wanted to pick a great place that would feed my hunger. Fortunately El Vecino Tex Mex rose to the occasion!
Thanks to a Google Maps search we tried our luck here and we were not disappointed.
I almost always get chicken fajitas in Tex Mex restaurants and this was excellent! The chicken was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. They didn’t skimp on the skillet fried onions or peppers. The rice, bean and fixin’s were generous as well.
I want to shout out the chips and the red and green salsa that was served before the meal. All were top shelf! I ended up getting the caramel churros and those were tasty too.
The service here was exceptional. We never had to wait for drinks, chip refills, or for our plates to be removed.
This is obviously a local hangout, with a vibrant bar- like atmosphere. Lots of pretty people were making an appearance. They do serve drinks and various draft and bottled beer.
We’re looking forward to going back!
