It's my fav mexican restaurant the food is excellent and it doesn't take long at all to get ur food.I recommend everyone to try their food you won't be disappointed :)

Food is usually good, but DO NOT buy a FRIEND El Mexico Gift Certificates. I used a $20 gift certificate to pay a bill totaling $17.34. I expected $2.66 change and intended to add to this and leave a tip. The cashier put the certificate in the register and closed the drawer. When I asked for the change he LAUGHED and advised that they do not give change. I asked him to give it to the waiter. He gave me the impression that he would not. Most Gift Certificates come in the form of a Debit Card and any balance can be used later. All other Gift Certificates that I have used, and there is a small balance, I received change and usually left as a tip. Also, the El Mexico certificate expires in 6 months. A very short time for a gift certificate. I believe a new law requires a 5 year life. In thsi case El Mexico charged $20 for a $17.34 dinner. If the certificate had been $50, they would have charged $50 for a $17.34 dinner.I bet they do not count as a sale or pay sales tax or federal income tax

They just moved in a new facility and it is still the best Mexican in Shelbyville, TN

my favorite place to eat. good food good service
