About El Chico

A Mexican food tradition since 1940 has grown
into more than 75 restaurants, including more than
25 franchise locations. The El Chico story began
when Adelaida Cuellar's homemade tamales drew
huge crowds at a small county fair in 1926.
Her sons opened a cafe in Dallas,
following their mother's
recipes for enchiladas
with chile con carne
sauce. Today, El Chico
is still serving top-quality
Mexican food favorites with
fresh new specialties of today.

I have eaten at this restuarant several times, and every experience has been GREAT! I love the authentic mexican dishes, and the service is wonderul. The servers are pleasant and friendly and are always smiling. This is a good place for a date night or family dinner out.

El Chico is my favorite restaurant in Lexington. I have been eating here since the doors open. It's a friendly place for the family to sit down and eat.
