“ This is a wonderful place! The food is taste! The service is excellent! And the ambience is very pleasant! If you wanna try some real good Mexican food! I really recommend this place! There is a lot of options! From tacos to carné asada! and it's was all worth the price! I don't understand why this place isn't a 5star restaurant! It definitely deserves a 5/5 stars! ”
“ Great service from JJ with extra attention to my needs with food restrictions. Made a suggestion no server has ever thought of before. Good food with decent portions. Guacamole was good with no heat but has cilantro, in case you are adverse. Sorry, no food pics this time. ”
“ Wonderful food. The crispy rellanos were some of the best we ever had. Fresh homemade chips and salsa were excellent. The wait staff was amazingly attentive and wonderfully kind. It's a family restaurant, so don't expect slick modern decor...but it is an amazing place for authentic Mexican food! Highly recommended! ”
“ I'm so surprised to see the mid range reviews of this so authentic restaurant. I had dinner out on the small patio. Very attentive server. She provided great details. Started with the Cadillac margarita on the rocks. Best I've ever tasted. Served with free fresh chips and excellent homemade salsa. I had the combo plate with chicken enchilada with tomatillos green sauce and a side of sour cream. Outstanding!! Also a beef taco. It came with lettuce, tomato and refried beans. Good too. Lots of options to add on. The prices are very reasonable and haven't been jacked up as they have in other restaurants in Estes. (Using the economy as an excuse). I'm not certain but given that the food style comes from N Mexico, which borders Texas, it may be Tex-Mex? But don't quote me on that. I do know my first sour cream chicken enchiladas with tomatillos sauce was in San Antonio and I've never had it until I found El Mex-Kal. Lots of parking behind the V across from the American Legion. From hwy 7 turn in front of the restaurant and go past it. Then turn right into parking. ”
“ We were in Estes park for 3 days and had dinner there for 2 of those. Fajitas were spot on - fresh vegetables, seasoned meat, and homemade tortillas. The tortillas really finished it off and the man working there was very friendly as well. It reminded me a lot of Mexican food you will find in Monterrey. ”
“ The BEST! I got a chimichanga and shared it with my fiancé (on a budget). We are both full and it was delicious!! Highly recommend! The service was amazing and very fast. ”
“ So I must say at first I was really Leary if this place and didn't have high hopes for it, boy was I wrong. It's a very small establishment w 20 or so tables inside and another 10 outside. Service was amazing. For our appetizer we got this fried cheese with chorizo on it and omg it was to die for. It came w corn tortillas so you could make your own little cheese roll up. It was so good I ordered it the next night. For dinner I got just a taco and tostada and my husband got the carne asada and the flavor on that steak was mouth watering and so tender and juicy. This place over all was great CANT believe I almost passed it up because it didn't look good. Wont be doing that again. ”
“ Must stop in when you are in Estes, the food atmosphere and people are out of this world. I was get the enchiladas with a chimichanga. You will not be disappointed. The owner comes out from prepping salsa in the back to check on everyone. Absolutely love everything about this place!!! ”
“ I am from Texas and think I know better than most what good Mexican food tastes like. While El Mex-Kal isn't as good as some my hometown options, it's really really good for Estes Park. I won't name any of the other spots I've tried there, including the one that's almost across the street, but these guys really know what they're doing. Food was spot-on. Queso (or cheese dip as they call it) was really good. Carne asada was cooked perfectly and came with excellent homemade tortillas. They didn't have a Poloma to drink but their house margarita on the rocks is really good. I will definitely be back! ”
