Very sad to see what's become of El Chico. This is one of the last remaining true Tex-Mex restaurants that I've been able to find. I used to go to El Chico regularly as a kid in Texas and was excited to find this one. The food was pretty good a couple of years ago when I first visited (not as good as when I was a kid but still pretty good). But I was incredibly disappointed last night. Many items on the menu that I went there for had a sticker on them saying "Not available". Ex. Nachos (chips, beans, cheese). How can that not be available at a Mexican restaurant? The chips were low quality grocery store chips (not the usual restaurant-made tortilla chips). There was no salsa available - no salsa at a Mexican restaurant??? Very sad to see but this restaurant can't possibly remain open much longer if this is how it's going to be.

Visited El Chico at World Trade Center location, barely any customers, but that shouldn't scare you away. The food is good with a nice flavor.

I made a second visit, unfortunately the place is empty and the food quality is less than expected.

El Chico is always one of my choice when I crave Mexican foods or a good affordable steak. They have narrowed down their menu now.

I always love the taste of their food, even the complimentary chips and salsa.

I'm not an expert in Mexican food, but the food tastes very good, and it's done with care.
Compared the Fajita with the one at Chili's, and this one was better.
The staff are very friendly and well trained, having the supervisor attends every single table a while after the food is served to make sure everything is where it should be, which reflects that quality and customer satisfaction here are high priorities. Price wise, I don't remember how much I paid to be honest.

I'm glad I've finally tried it.

I've been wanting for so long to try the restaurant, and tonight I've finally did it. So here it is the story of El Chico:

Even from outside you will feel that the restaurant is very warm and very cosy and it will allure you to go inside.
Do not struggle and surrender yourself, because for sure you won't regret it.
As you are entering the adventure will start: the smiling waiters, the warm and kind cashier, all will be at your service and ready to make you feel most welcomed.

Sit down, make yourself comfortable and make time to explore the diversified menu. I can bet that any choice you will make will bring joy and pleasure. Once you have decided, make your order and while patiently waiting for the freshly cooked meals to arrive, enjoy the crispy nachos, dunked in the amazing salsa.

When your order will finally arrive you will understand why you've reached the right place: large meals, nicely cooked with an amazing taste.

I had luck and at the time I went was not that crowded so the ambiance was quite intimate.
I really enjoyed my time and will definitely return here.
For sure it's on top of my favorite restaurants.

The food in the menu is not the same when it is served, the tenderloin is thick in the picture while they gave us very small and thin portion, we ordered medium well and they gave us well done. The quesadillas doesn't look cook either the cuts of the onions, bell pepper are too big.
