"Were there for the second time on Saturday. The first time as a couple everything was perfect. The last time with four adults and 2 children we weren't very enthusiastic: the drinks came first and my wife's glass had your big lip print... Aren't the glasses washed?? Then we waited forever for food, the children were tired and restless at the end, so I ordered dessert early. Unfortunately, we waited a very long time for this too. By the time the ice cream finally arrived, it had already melted and was more like cream instead of ice cream. It's a shame... it was probably ready for a long time, but the waitresses didn't get around to serving it?? even though they were running back and forth. But the biggest disappointment was that such a large restaurant with so many tables only had TWO children's chairs!?! We were told off three times that we would get one when “the guests downstairs” were ready… after almost 3 hours the stole still wasn’t there! Luckily, a family across the street had finished eating and put their child on their lap so we could use the chair and eat normally. 2 children's chairs for the huge guest capacity is a no go! please get 5 of the stackable IKEA children's chairs..."

we had asked for a delivery at 19:15 on the afternoon. the delivery came 20 minutes later without being notified. the eating was lukewarm and the pouletbrust was much too long budding - absolutely tough and hardly sauce, for that much too expensive.

The food is great and there is a choice. The service at the entrance and the boss are great. Service at the place is a bit slow, perhaps because of the Corona phase or because it is always very full. I would always make a reservation otherwise it would be difficult. I probably go there 2 to 3 times a month. Today at women's evening the food was 50%. As always, great food and great service. A lot of things have been added to the menu or taken away

Ordered a margarita for my wife (12 euros), it was around 90% ice blended, probably 8% sweet syrup and 2% alcohol. The worst and one of the most expensive she' ever had. Fortunately, I just ordered beer. Foodwise, we had nachos and chicken wings. No complaints about the chicken wings. The nachos came with three dips. Avocado, sour cream and salsa. The serving size of the dips could not have been smaller. Very, very poor value. Certainly would not go back or recommend.

I went to El Mexicano with my friends to celebrate my birthday, because on the day of your birthday you get the starter, main course, dessert and birthday drink for free. That's why the first star. The second star is for the nice service and quick serving of the food. However, the food didn't taste good. The sauces were all bought and the enchilidas' dough was soggy with sauce and the giant prawns tasted strange. The dessert was not at all like what was shown on the menu, with much less fruit. I also reserved seats on the 1st floor. It wasn't until I was there that I was told that the first floor is only open on Thursdays and Fridays, when the band is playing. So there was no birthday music....
