What People Are Saying About El Chico
Featured Review

In Short – This Southern chain serves Tex-Mex and Mexican staples to large groups and families who come to gab over unlimited chips and hearty food staples. The Southwestern decor features bright colored walls and thick terracotta-tiled floors. Classic El Chico combinations, around since the company started in 1940, heap tamales, cheese enchiladas and refried beans on one plate. Tex-Mex items represent tastes for fajitas, soft tacos and enchiladas verde.

Great Food and Service

I lived in Sherman for about 7 years and can honestly say there's not a better place for Mexican food. La Mesa is popular in the area, but seems to be nothing but cheaply made tex-mex that could easily be made in your home kitchen to me. El Chico definitely offers up more creative and flavorful entrees. From their queso and nachos, to their fajitas and carne asada, everything is good. I've had just about everything on the menu (minus the ribeye, which I hear is the best in town) and love the chicken fajita nachos and chicken fajitas the most. Another thing that sets it apart is the management. After being out of Sherman for a few years, the GM, Ray, still recognizes me and makes sure to some by my table and catch up whenever I'm in town and stop by...
- Pros: Something good for everyone's liking/Cheap XX Beer
- Cons: I don't live five minutes from there anymore

Great Food - Great Fun - Great Atmosphere
by missme at Citysearch
My party of 4 and I had been out and about most of the day......we wanted to just take a few minutes to have a bite to eat and go home. We stopped at in at El Chico where our few minutes turned into three hours. The food and service were great. The Manager (I think his name was Ray) even came by to see if there was anything more that he and his staff could do to make our visit more pleasant. This was definitely a plus for us and we will definitely be return customers. Spread the word.....
- Pros: A Fun Place
- Cons: Didn't find Any

Greatest Hangover Cure Ever
by AJarvis at Citysearch
I can honestly say that I have had there fajitas just about every week for three years and they are amazing. The cooks know who I am because they always are nice enough to grill me a jalepeno and red peppers to go in the mix, and have even made extra hot hot sauce for us a few times because they know how we like to prefer it.Don't think that I am a creature of habit either, there chicken monterrey is a great lunch when i get out of the office and my buddies and I have watched quite a few monday night football games here for nachos and cheap beer on mondays. Can honestly say its the best you are going to find in Sherman.
- Pros: Fajitas and Dos XX on Tap
- Cons: I can't have fajitas for breakfast
