What alan likes about El Tipico Mexican:
This is a lovely casual spot. We had a great night out with my wife. The food was delicious! It was quite busy, so our meals took a bit longer than expected, but the singers kept us entertained in the meantime. Overall, it was definitely worth the drive from South Chicago. View all feedback.
What Anthony A doesn't like about El Tipico Mexican:
1. The front door is in disrepair, which is the first thing patrons notice and it's not inviting.
2. The host was less friendly than I would have liked; a proper greeting goes a long way.
3. We had to request silverware and napkins, then waited a long time to receive them.
4. There’s a hole in the tile floor that definitely needs repair—this is a potential lawsuit waiting to happen!
5. Who decided to put large-screen TVs in the dining area? It feels more like a sports bar, which is quite tacky.
6. The menus are stained and look cheap, which is unappealing.
7. The worn-out chairs from the 1990s need to be replaced.
While the food is still fantastic, the front-of-house experience lacks the necessary attention to detail. If things continue to decline, I could only rate it 2 stars.
