Went here for a quick Mother's Day lunch. Great food - lots of attention to salsa, seasoning and such. Ambiance is very casual; service is friendly but not overbearing. Good place.

Excellent service, pleasant, colorful surroundings and a wide open dining space just a short walk to Congress Park and downtown Saratoga. The three of us enjoyed our entrées from the extensive and varied menu. As another reviewer stated, the meal was good but not exceptional. The chips and salsa, additional quesadilla, tasty dessert and complimentary shot of tequila raises the... More

Decided to stop here while visiting Saratoga Springs because my daughter loves Mexican food and the reviews were glowing. The interior is vibrant and lively. The service was kind and attentive. We received small free plates of yummy extras both before and after the meal (cheese quesadilla and apple flautas). Tasty salsa with free chips. The entree was good, but... More

Service was excellent and food and drink were great. After the meal, server came with a complimentary fried banana desert, said it was included, then discovered there was a b.d. at the table. All the servers came back to sing, had me where a sombrero and brought a free desert. During all this our server realized we did not get... More

We had SUCH a great time yesterday at El Mexicano. I wanted to take my mom to dinner for her birthday tomorrow, and she wanted Mexican but most of the Mexican places in Saratoga have been disappointing. Needless to say, this is our new favorite place. First: food quality. My mom and her husband tend to not really like anywhere... More

We find ourselves coming back again and again. The food and drinks are good, the service is fast and friendly. Even on a night with a packed house you get the consistency we have come to rely on. Chips and salsa included, always a plus when you are hungry and want something to snack on right away. Plenty of easy... More

North end of Broadway location is nice in that it is a little off the beaten path. Food is always good and served fast. Staff very quick to get whatever you need.

The setting is fun, the servers are very friendly, and the food is great. There honestly is little more to say about this place. The prices are fairly reasonable and they shower you with free food, tequila, etc. A great place to eat.

What a find if you like Mexican food! Huge menu, lots of choices for both adults and kids. Great service and genuine hospitality. This is clearly a local's spot, with great Mexican food, big portions along with complimentary chips and salsa, cheese tortilla and dinner comes with a fabulous dessert. We enjoyed a picture of Margarita's and lots of laughs... More
