The Mexican food here is authentic, and the flavor is hard to match compared to other Mexican restaurants. My favorite dishes are the sopes and al pastor; I've enjoyed them since I was a kid, and the taste and quality have remained consistent over the years. This place is a great hidden gem in Plainfield.

What Mario Alvarez dislikes about El Gitano:
The prices are completely unreasonable. There should be more consistency in pricing. One day it's one price, and the next day, I’m charged 30% more. There’s really no need for this kind of inconsistency! View all feedback.

I typically enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, and this place did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the staff were very friendly. It's a small restaurant, but that adds to its charm.

The food was excellent, and the service was very good. However, the music was too loud, and we couldn't hear each other.

Absolutely amazing Mexican food! It's incredibly authentic, and everything is always delicious and fresh. The prices are great, the portions are very generous, and the service is fantastic. Some of my favorites include the guacamole, rice and beans, and seafood soup, but honestly, everything on the menu is excellent. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
