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. Additionally, they lacked sufficient vegetarian and allergen-friendly options to entice me to return.

My wife and I live nearby and decided to try it outI asked the waitress, if the guacamole, which is 8.95 was made fresh at the time of order.
Not that great. Service is slow. Food is lackluster. My review is short. Deal with it Yelp.
The food was excellent but a little pricey for the portions received. Service was challenging as the server didn't speak / understand English very well. When asked about the cork fees we were told $ 55 ... So we went with the Shiraz (Copper Moon) house and that was $ 55 for a bottle of wine that retails for about $ 7 ... Everything So in all good food, WAY past the price!
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.
