The photo of El Chico’s interior and food

Located on Brownfield Hwy, El Chico in Lubbock serves Mexican cuisine to its patrons. This restaurant features moderately priced dishes and operates every day from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it a convenient option for both lunch and dinner.

It's worth noting that the only available visitor feedback dates back seven years, provided during a time of transition to new ownership. At that time, several patrons expressed dissatisfaction with slow service and incorrect orders, which remained unaddressed by management. Due to this lack of recent customer experiences, current dining standards and service quality are unknown.

El Chico has been a venue for family celebrations for many visitors over the years, accompanied by fond memories tied to milestone events. However, potential diners should be aware that updates or changes, possibly affecting the dining experience, were not reported. Guests seeking updated information may wish to contact the restaurant directly to better understand their current offerings and service approach.

So DISAPPOINTED! We have been going to El Chico for 2-3 family celebrations a year for the last 30 years. It is my Mother's favorite place to eat. This time was rediculiously disappointing. The owners have passed away and now under new ownership.

We waited an hour for our food (never ever waited that long ). Keep in mind they do not accept reservations or allow call early seating. Three out of ten plates came out. The waiter pivoted before we could even tell him our food was wrong and COLD! When we talked to the waiter the first time he tossed one of the cold plates on a nearby dirty table and came back literally 2 min later with a new plate. Then he brought the other plates and two of them were wrong. When my sister told the waiter her plate was wrong because it had onions, she is allergic, he got very upset walked by a trash can on the way to the kitchen and threw the plate and all in the trash, making a very loud boom literally scaring a near by custmer.

The Manger just kept saying we are so busy.... Busy and bad attitudes are two different things. Cold plates, wrong orders, and we got up and filled our own waters and teas.
RIDICULOUSLY DISAPPOINTED!!! Next event it will NOT be El Chico.

I had to make a profile just to rate this place. You are much better off going to Abuelos or a better Mexican joint in town. Came here the other day and the food was terrible. Frozen food, velveeta queso, canned chili, and nothing authentic at all. I don't know how this place has been open for so long because it's obvious no one cares about the look of the place. The building is horribly outdated, smelly, and visually appalling. If they can afford to be open so long, wouldn't you think someone would put money into their business to make it look decent and use real ingredients? I will never return here. Their prices are ridiculous for the frozen bland excuse of Mexican food they serve. There is a really strange atmosphere here because I can tell the employees aren't happy at all. Just what is the deal with this place? Someone's old money must be keeping it standing.

Nice, quiet, affordable place to grab some Mexican food. I like that there is never a large crowd and the food tastes as good as most of the other places in town. The white queso is my favorite.
$$$$ Price range per person $10-$25
