El Chico Menu and Prices

4.7 (334 reviews)97 menu items · 17 categoriesUpdated July 13, 2026

El Chico is one of the oldest Mexican chains in the United States. It tastes more Tex-Mex-it's a modified American version with plenty of cheese and meat filling. There are classic enchilada, taco, and fajita on the menu. The portions are not small and suitable for those who want to eat spicy food but don't want to be too exciting. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can have a family dinner or have a casual meal with friends.
