El Norteno Mexican Restaurant

This place was excellent! Huge menu for a smaller size restaurant! Everything looked soo good! The chimichanga was HUGE and the beef wasn’t just run of the mill ground beef or taco meat, it was chopped up steak that was marinated in a delicious marinade! The chips and salsa was great and we also ordered a bowl of queso and it was excellent as well! The chips tasted house made, so crispy and corny! The owner was here on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm which seems unusual.. dedicated to this place! He was very friendly and attentive on top of having multiple waitresses helping each other to make the meal great! Can’t wait to come back!

We tried this place because the other Mexican food place was just to busy. Turns out it was a mistake. The salsa tasted like tomato soup with cilantro. The portions were small and my super burrito was more tortilla then meat. (Pictured below) The prices are high for the location and portion. I could go on but I think you get the point.

Today, Saturday 10/2/2021 was the first and last time we will ever go to El Norteño located on Gentry! We placed our order, then my husband realized his didn't tell the waitress he wanted chicken in his quesadillas. So, we called her back. These quesadillas were on the appetizers menu. They brought him a complete dinner plate. They put onions, bell peppers mixed with the chicken in the quesadillas Not good.. I asked for menudo with posol in it... Don't ever request it unless you ask for a sample first!!! When they brought it out there was no posol in it, first taste was GROSS! Tasted like Caldo de Pescado with pieces of menudo... We got up paid & asked to speak to manager, when he came in we explained that the menudo tasted like Caldo de pescado, he never denied what we said, but he was mocking my disabled husband. (the way he expressed himself) He said that the situation would be fixed he refunded our money. And never again will we return!!
