El Mexicano

"I really enjoyed this place. I went for the first time with a group of work pals and there was plenty of room. The service was great and the food was outstanding!!! I hope to come back again soon. ♥️"

"We moved from Texas and heard that this was the place to get the real deal. I didn't expect it given the generic red sign out front and being in a sort of strip-mall place... I was wrong to presume. Its really really good. When I surveyed my born and raised TX wife, she says its not as good as TX but its EXTREMELY close and it's good as it gets. The food was excellent, servers were friendly, I could tell right when I walked in that several of the patrons were frequent flyers and that was a good sign. The waiters conversing amongst themselves in Spanish was also a good sign. The fresh ingredients and great presentation was obviously also a huge plus. A lot of the food on the menu is Tex-Mex but there's a few true MX dishes on there too like your birrias and al pastors, things like that. They have fresh made corn and flour tortillas, a staple down south that's pretty rare up here. Usually you're eating something made by Ortega. Not here! Anyhow we don't live too far away, we'll be back. Don't bother with any other TXMX food in ME if you're close enough to El Mexicano."

"Food and prices were good, what a typical Mexican restaurant has and tastes like. However our waiter was very chaotic despite his good intentions. It was over 20 minutes to get our bill and then Togo boxes. It wasn’t busy at all either."

"El Mexicano is a wonderfully refreshing and authentic Mexican restaurant. Their fajitas, tacos, queso, guacamole, and salsa are all delicious. Everything is fresh and tastes genuinely authentic. The atmosphere is super cool, with bright pink walls and art throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend and will be back!"

"Decent Mexican restaurant in Sanford Maine. Family owned, giving great service. Food quality is middle of the road. Some selections are very good and others are just blah. Rice and beans were overcooked and bland, but the salsa, queso fundito and margaritas were excellent. Worth a try."
