We tried this cuisine for the first time, food was good 😌, service was quick, they even prepared guacamole 🥑 live with all the fresh ingredients 😍 . Just Delicious 🤤 loved the cheesy fries 🍟
The food was really good and the whole experience felt extremely authentic. It's the first time we tried it and honestly we can't wait to come back - the "Top Shelf Fajita Quasadillas" were out of this world, would definitely recommend.
The waitress was also so sweet and helpful.
You also get 3 hours free parking so that's always a plus in JBR
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽🥑
Love this place ♥️
Based on various lunch experiences
Ambience
I quite like their seating booths on the ground level and the bar by the entrance, however a bit pointless since it's not licensed. Outside seating is very basic with plastic seats.
Food
Like most mexican places you get free chips and salsa at the start, I love that.
I keep having Fajitas and really like it, but have rarely gone wrong with that at any mexican place.
I would like some better hot sauces as they only have Tabasco as supposed to mexican sauces.
Price
With zomato Gold this becomes a really good place to go as a couple.in terms of value for money
THE FOOD IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD. please come and try the fajitas, they are such a hit. So highly recommended by myself and the party of five with me.

If you are craving for great fajita El chico is the place.
We tried a mix of two fajitas, beef - chicken and chicken and fish both were awesome with great sides and perfect in taste.
Definitely recommended.
The restaurant is very nice with cooperative staff and excellent food specially guacamole
El Chico is a wonderful place with high professional stuff, food really tasty and fresh..special thank for Ethel for her kind hospitality..
Good prices too ;-)
Highly recommend for friends and families. .they have also free parking at JBR :)
Food was awesome! Definitely going back to this place. Staff were nice and friendly plus they had huge serving for the food. Fajita is my favorite also the complimentary nachos. :)
First time to eat at El Chico. We ordered the smoked bbq ribs and refillable. It was good. We were hoping to try their stuffed potato sides but it wasnt available. The staff were kind enough to give us other options too like mashed potato and vegetables.
Overall, we liked the experience especially the super polite and friendly staff. 🤗
Came here twice, with my friend and my family. Great staff and really friendly, great ambience and definitely great food. I loved the chicken quesadilla it's definitely a must try. Will definitely go back
After such a long time came across a mexican restaurant which looked authentic by decor. You can excuse the serving staff for looking philipino rather than mexicans - however they were extremely courteous and understanding.
Ordered a main course - Chicken Enchiladas. The portion was quite big with 3 enchiladas. Requested for mexican beans to be replaced with mash which they willing obliged. Requested a mango daiquiri which was a bit low in flavour maybe because it was a mocktail. Finished it with a brownie skillet sundae which came sizzling with melted butter (yes, thats quite a change from the usual hot chocolate sauce).
Casually asked the manager why no complimentary nacho and dip was served before food. He politely apologized for a delay in receiving their shipment and also offered to do the dessert complementary in return. These gestures sometime go way beyond the food and festivities a place comes to be known for.
Good chips and salsa! Sometimes that’s all I want
Good complementary nacho chips while you enjoy your choice of food. I was craving those chips (not the same as nachos). Their fajita is also good and has fresh guacamole:) ok value for price
Wow for everything. They are superb in terms of food quality. Very polite staff and excellent ambience. I and my friends enjoyed el chico like never.
Cheers guys good work.
Dining with a friend who loves Mexican food well that went well at this place loved the ambience good decor staff were very friendly. Outside sitting was the best choice here. About the food well it was spot on veg great mashed potatoes great meat well 5/5 I like my meat well done and it was spot on will dine again for sure
On one weekend, I just woke up and I had this sudden craving of eating Mexican food. So we headed to El Chico for it's famous Mexican food! When we entered...I found the ambience quite colourful and appeasing to the eye..with light music in the background...it seemed perfect enough to brighten the mood. We happened to order Taco's and Enchiladas (Vegetarian). We were greeted with Tortillas and warm Salsa sauce and they were absolutely tasteful! Then came Enchiladas! They tasted exactly what I craved for but Tacos weren't all that great. I was expecting them to be tastier but Nonetheless I was happy with enchiladas and it quite made my day! Servers are very warm and pleasant here! I am surely coming again for Enchiladas ! 😋
Good location, friendly service , average Mexican food, the classic chicken fajitas lacked flavours, the beef tacos was good.. the complimentary nachos with red salsa at the start was not bad.
Portions were generous. The live guacamole making at the table was a clever idea. Very fresh. Decor was charming and appreciated as the authentic history of over 70 years was documented in pictures. Mexican rice dish was tasty. Also sauce with brisket beef burrito. Service was a bit slow as it was a busy Friday night. Good value. Will definitely come again :-).
Their mexican beef bacon burger was tasty and very well cooked. Having a delicious beef burger at jbr is honestly a treat. Highly recommended!!
El Chico has now become synonymous with mouth watering Mexican dishes! Absolutely amazing! It’s a bit expensive but worth the money! Hey, money is never wasted on good food, right? so head to El Chico! The lady who served us was super sweet and suggested a variety of dishes to us! The ambience is perfect to spend some quality time with friends, family and good food! Would love to visit again! 😍👌🏾
Glaucamole is amazing.
They served me grilled chicken for the main course, it was cold had to send it back. The ambiance in the evening is nice.
One of the best Mexican joint. Coming for several yrs now and they have never disappointed us. Must try all their chicken preparation. Big portion and quality prep to taste authentic
The food was delayed due to some problems with our order, So the staff got us a complementary brownies with vanilla icecream cake was nice of them though we didn't get upset at the late order or required any compensation but they did anyway. Thanks elchico! :)
What to say about this Mexican place "El Chico". Not only amazing food but ambience as well. We ordered almost everything from the menu and was not disappointed. Wish they could have many more branches in Dubai. Not to forget their serving size is huge.

This restaurant is located in JBR..this food is good but our experience was little disappointing as everything served was cold no idea why ?!?! Upon complaining the manager took the food and warmed it up in microwave oven lol anyhow the food tastes good i just hope they start serving hot !
Be a Mexican and njoi being one...njoid the food with the place...family gathering, with good music around and appetizing Mexican food in town..
Have tried almost all their mouth watering dishes and each dish had its on unique flavor. The Mexican music in the background further enhances the taste buds. The biggest issue is lack of parking so would recommend to take tram.
Amazing food, best Mexican food in town...
Good seating place, friendly and cooperative staff, they guide you through the entire Menu
BBQ ribs were way too good, and the Signature Chimichanga
Best best best Mexican food so far
Over all Excellent
Great food, complimentary tortilla chips, unlimited machine drinks (coke, iced tea, etc.) and a decent price. Definitely a favorite of mine.
one of the best Mexican food i had. All the food we ordered was real delicious.
Should try : Mexican Fiesta Rice, Grand Brisket Burrito and they have awesome peach flavour ice tea
It was the second time I went for dinner at El Chico. I had combo dinner each time.
I had the rancho combo which included a chicken breast, one burrito and one enchilada, all three were good and had good flavour.
I had the Caballero combo which included three different enchiladas and one burrito, the burrito was nice as were the enchiladas but they were a bit repetitive in the end.
My sister had brisket beef tacos which she really enjoyed.
We enjoyed the little basket of thin nachos with spicy tomato deep.
The refillable ice tea is nice with the liquid sugar provided.
My only complaint is the fact that they advertise diet sprite on their menu but it is not available...
A unique Mexican restaurant with a good ambience and service offered.
Along the walking bay with a good view of the super cars that are parked along.
Offers a good variety of Mexican delicacies and drinks to indulge in after a walk along the bay.
Will definitely treat your taste buds when you get bored with Arabic food.
The ambience is really good with the decors like that of a typical Mexican joints. Ordered the crispy mushroom chicken and veg fajitas. Both were right up to the mark with taste and presentation. Slightly expensive but it goes with the type of setting it is in. The staff is friendly. Special mention to the nachos and salsa they give as starters.
El Chico is one of the best Mexican food in town . As I enter the ambience itself is so good , as the staff people guide you to your table as they serve the menu and you have a look at it , it's pretty interesting . At this place I had ordered for Chicken Fajita & seafood platter . In the mean time they had served tortilla chips with the dip to me . The food was freshly prepared and served to me within 15-20 mins of time which is pretty decent . Honestly speaking the food was tasty , delicious and worth the price I had paid . Pricing wise this place is decent not expensive at all .
Decided with family to go for Thursday dinner, wanted Mexican food for a change . El Chico was a choice, service and food good .
Only down fall is the chicken on fajitas tasted like processed meat with a lot of marinate .
In my opinion chef need to change the chicken apart from that all was good.
loved the food. abit crowded and noisy when we went but the food was amazing, great service and the staff friendly. definitely visiting again.
Friendly staff and good location in JBR, but they need to explain better the menu to know more about ingredients because not everybody wants spicy and if you request something about you need it will be better repeat and confirm your order . We appreciate the complementary nachos that were delicious.
It was in general fresh food with good mexican taste, really good atmosphere. I tried asadas y enchiladas that is New in the menu but was disappointing because beef quality was not really good. Also we tried El caballero that was really good and also a large chicken burrito. You can be able to use Entertainer to save money. Only last comment I ve been several times but i am feeling the quality is going down for some plates in my last visit.
مطعم مكسيكي مرة لذيذ وجلساته مرة حلوة على الجي بي ار
وقف بعيد وتعال تمشى على رجوالك لنه المكان بطل ومنها تهضم بعد الاكل)))
