It's been a while since I've been to El Chico, I used to go to the one in north Arlington every now and then but it's been quite some time since I've been to the Richland Hills location.



I ordered the "cinco burritos" with charro beans and rice, consisting of 5 mini burritos (one guacamole, one bean, two beef and one chicken). I didn't realize how spicy the dish was (I wish that they had marked it as such on the menu) and after the fifth or sixth bite my mouth was on fire. I am not a fan of spicy food, and aside from the spicy issue the taste was very good The waitress, Maria, saw that I was in distress and came over to offer me something else. I decided on the cheese enchiladas and they were delicious! Maria also showed up promptly with iced tea refills and that's always appreciated.



The prices were competitive and the restroom was spotless, so I will be back!

Unpleasent meal

. 4/2 about 830pm. Party of 4. First we seem to have gotten a unconfident waitress from very start. My daughter ordered a Shrimp meal. She had to tell her 3 times even when we could understand her fine. Then food came staggered.The tables are so small for 4 it seemed for sure something would be knocked off when all plates arrived. I was not happy with my avacado enchlata,not enough sour cream to even taste..I ate only half. Simular with other orders.COST $32 with avcado apptizer for our 2 meals. I left no tip.

I eat at this reasturant at least once a week and have never had a bad meal. I would eat here every day if I could afford it.
