Pick up order...when I went in they pointed to pickup where in the window were several people eating goofing off handed me a bag with no customer service skills Shrimp po boys were dry.. didn't have any sauce or condiments on them nothing special about the taste Won't be back 😞
The shrimp is never de-veined, so you are eating poop from the shrimp. We have tried this place a couple of times. Watch your ticket because they charge extra taxes. I think the extra tax was bringing the food to the table.
Full disclosure I have visited this place since late 1983's while here for college. My routine favorite orders, El Con Deluxe, Taco Plate, Fajitas, on cold days always Carne Guisada, and how can you not order the Ted Special. You all remember seeing him seated at the from at the Waco Dr location, greeting the regulars by name. Those were the days. You can even order tacos and fries and a cold beer for Taco Tuesday. Nos vemos pronto El Con!
I ordered chicken fajitas and they were chunks of chicken, no seasoning at all and only onions, no bell peppers. Worse fajitas I have ever eaten. Their guacamole was only avocados, tastes very bland all of it. Will not go back. This used to be my favorite place to eat mexican food.
El Conquistador: Family favorite for years! I always order the regular Mexican plate and it's always deliciously perfect. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Takeout is fast. Price is great. Tortillas are free with meal and the best.
The food at El Conquistador was delicious as always but the service, not so good. We arrived at a time when the restaurant was nearly empty. It may be that that they are shorthanded but we waited twenty minutes for our meal to be served and once served, we never saw our server again. We had to ask another server to find her so we could have more iced tea; when she brought the check, we asked for a " to go" box and we waited another ten minutes until she finished visiting with customers at another table. It was frustrating to wait but for the price of the meal, we would have just walked out without the Leftovers. I think take-out is the best way to go here.
New remodel looks nice. Same Tex-mex food (chili and cheese). The remodel makes for a great atmoshere.
This place is one of our favorite's. We love the chips and salsa! The rest of the food is good. They have pretty good lunch specials. Service is always good and they seat you right away. Your order is usually delivered promptly so be ready. If you want a good sit down meal and you have a limited amount of time, this is a great option.
