| - After seeing this place on Yelp with its impressive 5 full stars and seeing it mentioned in a couple articles about must try restaurants, we had to check it out. My husband and I are always in search of great Mexican food. We haven't found anything even close to the places we frequented in our hometown of San Diego. And we've been here for 15 years! We've found Mexican food here that's good but nothing that screams authenticity. El Fresco's is drowning in authenticity.
Let's start with the fresh made chips & incredible salsa verde that is brought to your table. We've noticed, recently, that free chips & salsa has disappeared at newer Mexican restaurants. Which breaks our hearts. Chips & salsa is like the ultimate precursor to a great Mexican meal. It's like telling your mouth & tastebuds, get ready! We're having a fiesta!
I opted for an al pastor taco & the much written about shrimp taco. There aren't enough words in all the languages in the entire world that can describe how fresh, flavorful and delicious that shrimp taco is. Literally bursting with juicy, delectable shrimp. Drizzled with a chipotle mayonnaise that packs a punch. The shrimp & the mayo were made for each other. And the al pastor? I could have eaten those all night long. Cooked to perfection, the flavor was out of this world!
My husband went for the super max burrito with asada. This isn't just a burrito, it's an experience. It's huge. Rice, beans, cheese, pico, asada, guacamole & sour cream served on the side and covered in an enchilada sauce that brings it all together. First of all you would never find this burrito at any Las Vegas Mexican eatery. And if you did, it'd be at least $15-$19. My husband let me try a generous portion of his burrito and I immediately starting hoping he'd be too full to finish it. The asada was mouth watering tender and everything inside complimented each other perfectly. It was easily the best burrito. Ever. Epic.
Service was excellent. The chef who is also the owner was super nice, gracious and modest. Our waitress recommended the perfect items and was very attentive.
We can't wait to go back. We will have to wait as we only have Sunday's off together and El Fesco's is closed on Sunday's. But the first chance we get, we will be there!
