Great place in temple – Great overall restaurant. I've always enjoyed myself here and recommend this place to everyone. They are always coming up with new things on the menu, and they haven't disapointed me yet! I've even used them to cater a family get together. Those fajitas were awesome!!

Serving up heaping portions of Mexican favorites since 1940. – In Short This Southern chain serves Tex-Mex and Mexican staples to large groups and families who come to gab over unlimited chips and hearty food staples. The Southwestern decor features bright colored walls and thick terracotta-tiled floors. Classic El Chico combinations, around since the company started in 1940, heap tamales, cheese enchiladas and refried beans on one plate. Tex-Mex items represent tastes for fajitas, soft tacos and enchiladas verde.
