El Chico - Rockwall

Last night we were on our way to Rockwall to keep two of the grands (Precious and Lil' Bud). So we decided to eat in one of the restaurants along Hwy 30 in Rockwall. The final decision had us going to El Chico. Of course I was accompanied by Chipper. But she was not in full form tonight. We ate only one basket of chips.

Speaking of chips, these are basically the standard fare at most Mexican restaurants. They are nothing special but still pretty good. Giving the chips a 6.5.

The salsa was spicy and a good consistency. I enjoyed the salsa tonight. Giving salsa a 7, not salsa lessons.

Chipper ordered the Tortilla Soup, which is one of her staples at Mexican Food restaurants. El Chico is her favorite Tortilla Soup of all of the options. She would give it a 7.

I ordered the Juarez. I am just glad I don't have to go to Juarez to get it. I hear that Juarez is a cartel capital. The Juarez comes with a beef taco, cheese taco, cheese enchilada, beans and rice. I enjoyed the beef taco. It was pretty good size, spicy beef, lettuce and cheese. Now I have never understood why there is a cheese taco and a cheese enchilada. There isn't much difference. Here the tortilla's were a little different and one had queso on top and the other had chili.The queso topped enchilada tastes similar to the cheese taco at every other Mexican food restaurant. The cheese enchilada is topped with a chili. The chili is pretty spicy, which it adds to the flavor and points. The re-fried beans and rice were re-fried beans and rice, pretty decent but nothing special. Giving the whole plate a 7.25.

Overall, tonight El Chico scored a 7.0. Way to go guys.

Next time, Mitcho
