El Chico Mexican Restaurant Melbourne

🗣️ If you're looking for a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine, El Chico Mexican Restaurant on Evans Road in Melbourne, FL might be worth a visit, especially for lunch. Despite a few hiccups, I would give this restaurant a solid 4 stars. To start with, the restaurant has a rich history that dates back to 1940 in Dallas Texas. The interior is nicely decorated with traditional Mexican themes, which adds to the overall ambiance of the place. During lunch hour, it would be great if they could plan for some Mexican music to further enhance the experience. Now, on to the food. The prices are reasonable, and the menu offers a variety of dishes that are sure to please any palate. However, I did notice that some of the dishes seemed more like bulk cooking than individual plates. Nevertheless, the flavors are delicious, and the spices are spot on. If you like your food spicy, then you should definitely try out the fire bar. But be careful, as I experienced first-hand, you don't want it to land on your lap! Unfortunately, my order was mistaken by the waitress, and she ended up spilling salsa all over my business outfit. However, the staff was quick to apologize and offer to have my outfit cleaned. Despite the mishap, I appreciated their prompt response and willingness to make things right. Overall, El Chico Mexican Restaurant is a great place to enjoy some tasty Mexican food. With a little bit of improvement in individual plating and adding some music during lunchtime, it would definitely earn a 5-star rating from me. Follow at AshleyWeis4 on Twitter.

Our food was very unique and tasty. The service was good. We had lots of left over food to take home with us. We had the quesadilla salad, tortilla soup, and chicken burritos. Our server Kaitlin L was very friendly.

Happy Hour Rocks! Food was great! Service was good.

Great Place ! Ambiance: the place was nice, clean and decorated there is a central bar and tables all around the restaurant. You can get in your own booth and have a party. Service: service was good. The waitress knew the food pretty well and was able to provide options and solutions which is always appreciated Food: the food was good and with big amount. Overall I would say that we enjoyed it. The margarita felt diluted but other than that everything else was on part with good taste. We will be back !

I am an El Chico aficionado. We took the short 1 hour drive down from Orlando, and wow am I glad I did. This location is the BEST El Chico I've ever had. Large portions, super fresh ingredients. I literally sought out the manager to brag on the food quality. He'd been there since 2001. Please make this your go-to Mexican restaurant. This is what all El Chico's should strive to become. Great job everyone!
