We Go here as often as we can the food is excellent. Fresh home made and priced right. The service is fantastic. I suggest if your looking for home cooked mexican food El largo is the place to go. If your looking for that fancy commercial type of place then go to one of the chain store mexican places like Taco Bell or On the Border or El Famous. This place is great For Breakfast Lunch or Dinner. It can accomidate large parties of people easily and has convient hours from 7 AM to 9 PM. Great for the whole family. El Lago is good food and good service at a good price. I would recommend it highly.

Very family friendly. the staff greets people like they knew them there whole life lol ive seen her sit down and conversate. I typically always get the Chile rellenos. the rice is good, average, nothing really pops out, but good texture and flavor. This is no "in a hurry" restaurant. This is more like the place where the seniors get there coffee and breakfast in the morning, relaxed, easy paced, but very very comforting :) not too shabby

If you want great food at a great price that you come back for again and again this is the place. This is a no frills mom and pop restaurant, If you want to pay for overpriced food just because of the surroundings you can go anywhere else and I prefer that you do so I can have a seat when I come to eat dinner. Sundays mornings are packed and this slows down the service a bit, but it is still great prices and to be expected.

For the area, this is as close to a specialty resturant as youre going to get. The food decent and the staff and owner are some of the most amazing and kind hearted people you will meet at an establisment. Its very quiet and well suited for get togethers. If youre in the area I dont think youll be disappointed so give it a try.

Been to quite a few Mexican restaurants, and really dont care for this one. A word of advise, stay away from the burritos. Got a burrito with green sauce, and the burrito was a soup, wasnt even solid inside. Couldnt finish it. Tried this place again, and the food was still less than mediocre. Would not recommend this place.

Was awful last time. Pork Verde tasted spoiled. Tried today. They burnt my 2yrolds chicken fingers. Served it without saying a word, walking away when I mentored they looked burnt. Then never came back to check on us or ask how the food was. I guess she already knew the answer.

Do not ever order burritos from here unless you love onions! Cheese, beans, meat, and lots and lots of onions. Steak has a funny after taste. Even though the meal was horrible and it was not eaten they still wanted us to pay. Needless to say we will not be back there.

Coming from Texas our hopes were high and the food and drinks were great. Half price margs on Tuesday and good service...we would eat here again. Authentic food and free chips, salsa and queso! The 4 is for stale chips and weak queso. But overall good.

The food at El Lago is grate and the service is excellent. After you have been there once you feel like family. Good combination of both American and Mexican served for breakfast. Easy to have a complete dinner for two for under $25.00

Amazing breakfast deal for only 4.99 you get 2 pancakes, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, and 2 eggs. The steak fajitas are amazing and you get chips with cheese and salsa with your drinks after breakfast time
