Food was so good. Can't wait to go back. My fiance goes almost every week. It's her favorite place in town

love this place food is excellent.

I’ve ordered delivery from El Olmeca multiple times in the past 12 months. They serve very large portions at a reasonable price. Everything I’ve ordered has tasted great. My delivery was through a food delivery service app and not the restaurant directly.

Food was good but manager did not address very, very loud group that spoiled the entire meal by yelling and screaming while we were trying to have a quite peaceful meal. We were not the only ones that were annoyed. Rabled behind us complainedd twice to no avail. Needless to say this was a bad experience I will not be back. There are more customers than a loud group. I ended up with a headache by the time I left. Management should think of all customers not a few.

Incredibly rude owners and staff, blaming us for ordering the wrong thing, when in reality it is an issue either with their POS system or their delivery system. We ordered twice, both times the bean burritos came with red sauce. Fine, easy enough to fix. So I call, and am met with "you ordered the wrong thing" and kept deflecting to grubhub being the issue. If you choose to work with Grubhub, make sure your menu system is accurate.

Food was good. Loud table spoiled the whole experience. Several customers complained, but know one asked them to hold it down. Poor management to allow other quest to be disturbed. This was 4:00 in the afternoon not normally a rowdy time.

beautiful inside decor. music. friendly staff

If I could leave Zero stars I would. Last night my experience was terrible. When I informed the server who I’m pretty sure is the owner/manager that he got my order wrong, he decided to go back and forth with me about it. I knew my order was incorrect. He stated no that’s not what you said or ordered, I knew I never order steak anything at a Mexican restaurant. I was there two weeks ago he was my server I ordered the same thing with ground beef. Instead of easily fixing my order and making things right he wanted to argue about it. I decided to keep my plate since it was such a big deal. Even then the chips on my nachos were stale, the steak was cold. I literally left the whole plate of food on the table only ate 2 nachos. Did he even come back to say I noticed you didn’t eat the meal I can discount you or take it off. He’s very rude and his patience is very thin.

The food was amazing! It was unlike any Mexican place in the area and it was like a proper Mexican restaurant like somewhere in San Antonio, Texas! 10/10 would recommend if you live around here or just came to visit! P.S. the burrito el olmeca steak burrito is a must!

Super good food, and a very nice atmosphere. I will be back when in Huntsville
