“ We went to El Mejor again last night. This has quickly become a favorite of mine! I had the Padrinito, which is a gin based drink and my husband had the El Mezcalero. Both drinks are perfectly blended and extremely delicious. The chips this time were stale, which is unusual for them. We asked for a fresh batch and it was equally as stale. I even thi k they may ha e changed their chips because they are the really thin chips. But the salsa has great flavor and was a little spicy. I had the Mazatlan Bowl with blackened salmon and it was wonderful. It was on a bed of grilled veggies, rice and beans. It had so much flavor that was so well blended. My husband had the brisket tacos, which were good, they had a good taste and lots of meat. I love this restaurant and the variety of the menu. It's not just tacos and enchiladas, but if you like that, they have it too and it's fabulous! You can't go wrong with this choice! ”
“ Great atmosphere. Food was excellent. Hidden Gem off the square. Highly recommend this place. ”
“ On of my favorite spots in Downtown Mckinney! They have a bunch of options to choose from and they also have pan dulce. Definitely worth a visit ”
“ This place is an almost hidden gem right off of the square in historic downtown McKinney. It's spacious and well appointed, featuring a full coffee bar in the back in addition to normal restaurant operations. On our visit, I selected the chile rellenos with chicken tinga and ground beef. This netted two fairly good sized peppers with a nice battered coating, stuffed with a LOT of well seasoned meat. Each was moderately spicy, leaving no doubt that you're eating peppers, but not too hot that you'll be reaching for the water. Accompanying sauces were delicious as well. I also chose the El Mezcalero cocktail, which was a delicious margarita adjacent drink featuring smoky mezcal. My wife's Attitude Adjustment cocktail struck a nice balance between savory and sweet with chamoy and mango puree. Table salsa strikes a good balance between smooth and chunky, and chips are crispy and fresh. Overall, this was a great meal and worthy of return visits! ”
“ Best matcha in mckinney in my opinion! The customer service in here is so great too. Definitely check this place out if you haven't yet. ”
“ We love coming here! Great food and great staff. The atmosphere is usually quiet when we go and the staff is super helpful. Had asked for tequila recommendations and the bartender was happy to talk with me about his favorites and other popular ones. ”
“ El Mejor is a cafe in the morning and a restaurant + cantina at night. Situated in downtown McKinney, it's a great spot to grab a morning coffee or pick me up bite as well as a good spot to grab lunch or dinner. We came here twice, once for the cafe and once for dinner. Both times were pretty good! For the morning treat, I got the matcha latte and a concha. The matcha was okay and my friend, who got a mocha, said that her's was okay as well. It wasn't the best we've had but it gave us enough energy to get through a big day as we were heading to Dallas. On another night, we ended up dining here with some friends. We all got our own entree. I got the Fajita tacos and it was filling but was, again, just okay. Overall, a pretty good spot to dine at but nothing too outstanding. ”
“ The food was delicious. Cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive. I had a quesadilla and chicken tortilla soup. I would definitely eat both again. The soup was flavorful. The quesadilla was cooked crisp and was great. The house margarita was tasty. ”
