Was RichardL at El Tradicional Mexican Cantina a mag?
The restaurant was really hopping when we arrived. Our reservation was honored within five minutes of its scheduled time. We were pleasantly surprised at the quick service considering how crowded the place was, especially with a large party in the separate party room. The food was excellent — two orders of enchiladas, one order of tacos and one combination meal. Looking forward to going back soon. View all feedback.
What KimberlyL dislikes about El Tradicional Mexican Cantina:
Although the location, ambiance, and capacity of the restaurant were pleasant, I found it to be overpriced compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area.

The service was excellent, but the food was mediocre. Unfortunately, the chicken was overcooked and dry, so I had to send it back.
Although the location, ambiance, and capacity of the restaurant were pleasant, I found it to be overpriced compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area. Additionally, they lacked sufficient vegetarian and allergen-friendly options to entice me to return. Unfortunately, the chips are cooked in the same fryer as seafood and chicken, making it impossible for us to enjoy tortilla shells or chips. Despite calling ahead, we were incorrectly informed that the beans and rice would be suitable for us, only to discover that the rice contained chicken stock. This limited our dining options and left us hesitant to trust their recommendations in the future.
I have visited this restaurant many times in the past, but was disappointed during my most recent visit. Three out of four people in our group ordered fajitas, and we all found them to be lacking in flavor. It seems like there may have been a different chef in the kitchen, as the fajitas definitely needed more seasoning.
As always we had a great experience. Food and service excellent. They have some specials you can't find at any other Mexican restaurant as they are the owners Mother's receipe Pajaitos! DELICIOUS! I heard they opened a second location in the Glen BRAVO!
