Das El Chico in Tübingen gibt es seit über 10 Jahren. Direkt über der Neckarmüllerei in der Gartenstraße gelegen, mit einem sehr netten Ausblick direkt auf den Neckar und das abendliche Treiben auf der Neckarbrücke. Im Sommer überdachte und beheizte Terasse. Gemütliches Ambiente, allerdings etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Nachdem das El Chico vor ein paar Jahren nach meinem Empfinden einen Durchhänger hatte (Essen so lala und schlechte Bedienung) ist es inzwischen wieder zu alter Form gekommen. Leckere Tex-Mex Gerichte und Cocktails und wieder nette und schnelle Bedienungen.
Jeden Tag Happy-Hour (17-20:00 Uhr) für Cocktails (50 %) und wechselnde Aktionen. Mehr Infos auf deren Website unter http://www.el-chico-restaurants.de
Tip: Für das gemütliche Abendessen einen Platz am Fenster reservieren.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 10 Nov 2016
Soul Food of the Mexican Dishes. Ooooh my goodness...it's like grandma's cooking from her soul. The foods are so flavorful. This is a notch up from the regular latin dishes or Mexican I've ever had and we have plenty of Mexican Restaurants in the USA. I'd like to take this place back home where we hrew up on southern soul food. 6 stars and a Hooray for this place. Best food I've had in Europe!

Very dark atmosphere. Service was a little slow. The burrito was good though. Someone at my table got the nachos and they were huge. Definitely my order if I ever go back. In general it's what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant in a smaller German town.

Die Mitarbeiter des El Chico haben leider nicht verstanden was Dienstleistung bedeutet. Ich habe mir ein Bananenweizen bestellt und bin nach circa 20 Sekunden hinter der Bestellung her um mich umzuentscheiden. Daraufhin sagte sie mir schnippisch: "Ich habe es bereits ins System eingetippt." Das Getränk war aber noch nicht zubereitet, also fragte ich: "Können wir das nicht noch ändern?" daraufhin Sie: "Wir servieren Cocktails sowieso erst ab 17 Uhr." Also fragte ich noch einmal ungläubig nach: "Also wäre es nicht möglich, dass man das noch ändert?" Woraufhin die Bedienung den Barkeeper anschaute und dieser total entnervt erwiderte: "Nein kann ich nicht machen!" und von der Bar die Treppen hochrannte und dann die Tür im Obergeschoss zuschlug.
Eine enttäuschende Erfahrung!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rebecca S.Birmingham, West Midlands937843430 Dec 2015
I like the food here, it's not original Mexican food but I thought it was alright and not very expensive (they have a take away nearby too). It has a lovely terrace with view onto the river and the cocktails are nice during the summer too

Ok went on a Sunday. Fajitas were good. The tortillas were cold and fajitas warm, not sizzling. The drinks on Sunday are only beer and wine till 6 pm. Not sure why. Tacos were soft flour tortillas. But they put some chili sauce on top of them. Only grilled chicken inside no cheese, diced tomatoes sadly missing and no lettuce???? Someone needs to take s class on Mexican food. But the food was good tasting and better than no Mexican food.

Not a good option of a traditional Mexican restaurant however the food is decent and the setting is also nice having a sweeping view of the Neckar River valley. I guess its good Mexican food by German standards, but if you come from California, probably steer clear.

For anyone who has ever tasted real Mexican food, or even Tex-mex for that matter: Stay away! This place is terrible. The food is Mensa quality at best and too expensive to even think about. Why do places like this stay in business? Lack of competition? Lack of original food ideas in Tübingen? Maybe people just don't know the difference between what is real Mexican food and what is just a poor excuse.
