        Lord, I thought the reviews on how good this were all exaggerated. Oh no this food was made by the Gods themselves, I have never been so made I was full I just wanted to keep eating.

        Moved here from Austin, Tx a few years ago and thought we'd never find a decent Tex Mex restaurant in East Tn. While there are several very good places in town with certain dishes they do well, El Chico does it all very well. From the quality of the chips and robust salsa to our favorite chicken fajitas for 2 with a cold Tecate' it doesn't get any closer to Tex Mex in Austin, TX than this.



        Prices are great and for The Best Service ask for Enrica (EnnReeKha) Awesome server!
