We have been to El C twice now, so time for a little review!
The first time we ate here, we had the basic guacamole (just okay) and the pineapple salsa (good). We skipped both on our second visit, deciding they weren't worth the cost. My husband had beef-based tamales and taquitos between the two visits and I had the verdura taquitos each time. We both have really liked our entrees.
For sides, we have done the jicama and watercress salad, the white rice, and black beans (all good, although the first time we had beans they were really salty). My husband stuck to draft beers and I tried a pomegranate margarita, which was tasty. I rarely drink, but I can't wait to try the other flavors here!
The space is great and I love the whole vibe of the atmosphere - it is really large inside too. The staff is really nice.
We both really like El C, but agree it is slightly overpriced. Sides of beans and rice should come with the entrees for the current prices. Two good veg entree options for the vegans (along with a few sides) and even more options for the vegetarians.
