EL CHICO has been serving top-quality Mexican food favorites since 1940. Today we offer two exciting concepts. EL CHICO CAFÉ serves delicious, freshly-prepared tex-mex dishes. The strength of EL CHICO CAFÉ comes from the fact that we have been in this business so long that we know how to improve traditional favorites and how to introduce our guests to the next level of great Mexican food. Our other concept is CANTINA LAREDO, which serves authentic Mexico City-style dishes in a sophisticated atmosphere.
