The food did not live up to the expectations. The food also did not look like the pictures. I do not agree with the 4.5 stars and the award winning margarita title. Worst of all you could smell the grease trap.???

So I have been here many times I started to realize the water taste like the worst tap I’ve ever tasted like seriously like iron and their bathroom smells so bad I think they have a very bad water system. tonight me and my friend ate and our food tasted like the after taste of iron/blood/minerals just disgusting we both tasted it and I swear it’s the water I won’t go here again ever

My chicken fajita salad would have been much better if it didn't have a half inch of water in the bottom of it. My friend's salad was the same. I don't know if it's because the lettuce was wet or what. Not your usual standards. I would be reluctant to order it again because of that.

My husband and I have been coming here since 2017 when we bought our home. We were new to Plano and needed to find a replacement for our favorite Mexican restaurants from the Lakewood area.We tried practically all of the options in Plano and El Norte became our absolute favorite. It’s been a staple of our weekly date nights ever since. ?Now, this is Texas so there is only great Mexican food and on up from there, in my opinion. However, El Norte isn’t just great. It’s *excellent*. It really is heads and shoulders above the other options in Plano.Their chips and salsa are made in-house. The chips are thin and crispy (a sign of good oil being used to fry them), yet substantial enough to hold the salsa properly. The salsa is hot enough to register, but not so hot it burns your mouth off. It’s a really good compromise if you have differing heat preferences in your dining group and it has a really balanced taste between heat, tangy, and earthy.They have really good atmosphere, super fast and friendly service, and excellent food.I highly recommend that you try the sunset flautas. They are to die for.Give them a shot if you’re looking for a new favorite. You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious!!! Delicious!!! Delicious!!!The stuffed jalapeños are the best anywhere. The combo plates are huge and provide great variety.Justin and Adrien took such great care of us. Our meal was fabulous and the service incredible.

I've been a Plano resident for 35 years, driven past this place a thousand times, yet never eaten here. We decided if it's been here this long, it must be decent. Food was good, staff were friendly, and there was practically no wait despite a crowded dining area and seemingly few staff. Great place. We'll be back.

My husband and I visited this restaurant last night. The service was excellent. If you're looking for Tex-Mex, this is the spot! The queso blanco is so good! I definitely recommend the sopapillas. There's also a very large selection of drinks to choose from. We'll be back!

Every Tuesday with friends. Good company, conversation and good food. Service always always good

Our favorite Mexican restaurant for almost 20 years. Tonight, we felt like they were kicking us out early because they got busy. We were offended. Teach your waitresses better!!!!!

I have eaten here before and used to be decent. Today I ordered 1 chicken enchilada with rice. Wrap was dry like paper and the rice were also dry like stones. I would never eat here again
