El Centro Mexican Restaurant

The fajitas and chorizo flameado were delicious, but the standout was the Raspberry Margarita. I'm glad there's an amazing Mexican restaurant just down the street from me!

Reasonable prices, excellent food, food service, amazing margaritas! I think I've found my new favorite Mexican restaurant.

My son and I came to dinner. We were immediately seated and served. The restaurant and staff are very clean and friendly. The food came out fast and hot. I had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and sour cream sauce, he had a grilled chicken breast with rice - great portions, prices and wonderful flavors.

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went there tonight. The ambience is great and they had a gentleman playing guitar and singing. Customer service and staff were very good. Upon opening the menu I couldn't help but notice that they use American cheese on most of there food. Really? A previous reviewer mentioned that the salsa was more similar to ketchup, which is fairly accurate. It was ok but I prefer a little cilantro which is just a personal preference. The tacos with ground beef had a good amount of oil dripping from the shell and I had to substitute American cheese from the taco. Maybe it's just me but the American cheese just really is a turnoff. Margaritas were average and a little on the sweet side. It's worth trying if you want American cheese on your food. That's just too weird for me.

We came for dinner as a family of four. I appreciated the open front patio space for my boys to impatiently wait for our tablewhich was not very long. The service was warm, welcoming and friendly. It os such a cool and relaxed atmosphere. The prices were great, the bathroom was clean and my most favorite part was that my food came out HOT! If I had to find one thing that I did not like it would be the cheese enchilada. But I ordered the #13 combo and had plenty of other food to eat. I will definitely eat here again.

This place is for people who like to play it safe with their food. You won't find a culinary adventure here. The menu selections are standard Tex-Mex and the overall flavor is kind of bland. The hot sauce was flavorful, but not hot, and the cheese dip was of the runny, straight out of the can variety. I had the Steak Curado which was actually tasty with a nice bit of zest, but the cut of meat left a little to be desired. My dining partner had enchiladas which she said were good, but just standard. Again, if you don't want your food to transport you to some exotic locale you may like the offerings here. I prefer a little more out of Mexican food. I won't ever return here because I can get what they offer anywhere and get it better.

They must make enough money where they can ignore people that come in, They sat me down never offered me any drinks, never came to take my order. later I had to walk out. Multiple servers walk by me for about5 to 10 minutes, none of them stopped and asked if I wanted anything. When I go out to eat I'm dropping $20 or $30 I expect better service then that! The food maybe good but I'll never find out, Because I'll never go back!

Tried this new restaurant today with some friends. Love the location and atmosphere. Chips and Salsa were great. Food came out quickly and hot. Wait staff was great. Food was a bit bland, needed some seasoning, especially the chicken.

First time trying this place out and I was very pleased. Food was really good, service was awesome and atmosphere was overall pleasant. Prices are fairly reasonable as you would expect at a casual restaurant. My only downfall is there was no menu for alcoholic beverages so I didn't know if they served mixed drinks or not. However, they do serve beer and wine. But I do recommend anyone to go here. Good place in downtown Rowlett.

Good vibe, ok service. Beef and potatoes were very greasy and salsa is very bland needs cilantro. My chicken dish was very good, but wife and daughter didn’t finish their beef plates because of the grease.
