El Chico in Tübingen

Very nice staff and a beautiful view.

Eif everything is good, you eat deliciously

Went there for dinner for the first time yesterday afternoon. Great service, we were served very attentively by a very nice service employee. Food very good and varied. Price absolutely reasonable. If we lived nearby we would definitely visit it more often. Keep it up 👍🏻

I have been to this place two times but i find their seevice very wellcoming

Very tasty food and great cocktails!

The food was bad. It tastes like frozen meals

Super nice view and very good food. The service was very nice and attentive.

El Chico serves delicious Mexican food, every dish is a highlight and the waitresses are very attentive and friendly. We always like to come here for our little vacation in Mexico 😀

Really good food and a wide selection. A short trip to Mexico in beautiful surroundings and with a courteous and always friendly team.

Tex Mex restaurant. Meat was well seasoning. Mojito was super sweet. Service was slow. Abit pricey. Nice view to the river in summer.

Very tasty, always with pleasure. Great with reasons

Great food in a great atmosphere 😊

The food was very tasty and the service was nice and courteous ☺️👍🏻 gladly again

Food was very tasty as always and the service was also very nice and accommodating 👍🏻☺️

Not Mexican food at all. It doesn't taste like Mexican food at all. Flour tortillas filled with bolognese-type ground beef and they say they are meat tacos or burritos or Don Miguel tacos, they are an insult!! The enchiladas seem like a joke, they put corn tortillas with ketchup-type sauce, chicken, cheese, another tortilla on top with "Bolognese sauce" chicken in pieces, cheese and the only Mexican thing there were the 4 slices of jalapeño peppers in vinegar.

Please indicate the vegan dishes on the menu

The worst meal of my life, every can of stew tastes better. Incredible and cannot be put into words. Don't come here!

Very very tasty food. You'll definitely get full :) Service is also super friendly and attentive. Mexican music plays constantly in the restaurant and the decor is appropriately Mexican, which creates a special atmosphere. I'd love to come back ☺️

Unfortunately, our visit to El Chico wasn't exactly great. Although we received our drinks unusually quickly, we had to wait half an hour before we could order our food and unfortunately only after being asked. Our starter came, but we didn't receive any cutlery, so we had to request this separately. The main course was quite tasty, but we were surprised about the rice, which looked and tasted 1 to 1 like good and cheap microwave rice - just a guess... The usual question from a professional waiter as to whether everything was OK or if you needed something else unfortunately it didn't happen. The bill was moderate. There were no paper towels in either the women's or men's toilets and unfortunately the soap was also empty. Too bad. This is a nice bar for drinking cocktails, but not recommended for really nice food.

Very tasty and very nice service! Very good chimichanga and the cocktail was very tasty! Gladly again

I've been there many times with friends and I'm always so pleasantly surprised by the crispy chicken burger.. in general I'm of the opinion that there is only good food there and the selection of drinks is actually very large.. prices are good and I would come back every time

Very accommodating, quick service

Good food, good ambience, good service

Went back to El Chico today after two years, Unfortunately my experience was again disappointing. The food came cold and the cook was overwhelmed and very unmotivated. I hope the cuisine and service can be improved.”

The enchilada grande, burrito and the fajitas were a good portion. Not the best we had but ok. Even if the place was empty (apart from us and 2 more tables) the staff wasn't really paying attention to us. Due to the few options you have in tubingen it is a restaurant to consider.

It was really tasty and the service and staff were very friendly, we really liked the atmosphere and the atmosphere was great :)

Upon entry my girlfriend and I were not greeted or seated by anyone. We stood around for 5-10 mins and finally asked if we could sit. We did. It took around 30 mins to order and when we did the food came out incorrect. We then just asked for the food to go. After waiting another 45 mins for just the box we were met with no apology or empathy from our waitress. She just told us the amount owed and wished us a happy weekend…. While thanks for the wishful weekend a simple sorry for the service due to lack of staffing or my simple forgetfulness would have been nice. To top this off we were given our “to-go” bag for free!!! Thanks El Chico. :/

Top service, super nice and fast! Food was flawless and just as you would imagine Mexican. The ambience is pleasant and very inviting and cozy El chico can only be recommended.

Ate well. Nice service that draws your attention to offers

Super cool place, nicely decorated, great location. However, the food was not very convincing in terms of price-performance ratio. Main course very tasty, the churros weren't that good. Very friendly staff. Spicy dishes are not marked.

very nice service and super delicious food!

Very peaceful ambience but unfortunately a bit too loud. Delicious food Despite that, I'd love to come back!

I noticed the shop and decided to enjoy my dinner there. The ambience is very nice and is authentically accompanied by the excellent music. The mocktail was very tasty and delivered what was promised. The burrito wasn't bad either, but I don't have a good comparison yet. I definitely got very full and overall it was a nice experience. The service staff were also nice and attentive. If I lived nearby I might go there more often.

The furnishings were really great, the food was okay too, but we sat there for ages without drinks, it also took a long time to clear away the place, and the staff didn't seem interested in making money.

Very nice atmosphere. Fast service🥰 especially thanks to dear Jenny, who always shines with her kindness. Happy to come back here :)

They were out of guacamole, not sure how that’s possible at a Mexican restaurant. Our food was just OK.

The "El Chico" in Tübingen is a typical Mexican restaurant, but with a special ambience thanks to the wide window front facing the Neckar. The restaurant is on the first floor of a brewery. The food is always good and cheap, but we have had different experiences with the service. Sometimes more trying than professional (I expect clean glasses), but at least always friendly.

+ • Great atmosphere (with a view) • Large restaurant • Fairly large portions • Mega delicious food • Vegan options • Super friendly staff (we moved around without asking because it was practically empty and didn't know that it would be a problem... ultimately the waitress apologized endlessly and we gave an extra big tip and reassured us again that absolutely we are guilty) I would love to come back! Particularly recommended: - Homemade lemonade and iced tea (not too sweet) - Anything with jackfruit (my first time having that... very tasty) - The best guacamole I've ever had

Great ambience, great food, great cocktails 👍🏼

Great ambience, nice Latino music and excellent food. Highly recommended

Always worth a visit! Delicious food, very courteous and friendly staff, great atmosphere, clean sanitary facilities. Always happy - also possible spontaneously.

Amazing Food / Authentic Mexican / Must visit in Tuebingen

Nice place, good music. Big portions, good food but quite high prices.

Was great the veggie and vegan options were wonderful even for the hardest to please. Had a fun vibe and everyone spoke really good English

Good service and delicious dishes I can only recommend it :)

Food was good but everything took a long time.

Just had fun from start to finish :)

Great facility and nice service! Highly recommended :)

I ordered a medium-rare stake and it came well done. The chimichanga was cold and very dry. The food took more than 1 hour to come although the restaurant was almost empty. The view is nice

Very nice and courteous staff. Food was very tasty and was served warm. Gladly again!

Being completely ignored by the waitress - but serving drinks etc. to others who came much later - I found it strange at the beginning. When I tried to talk to one of the waitresses and she just walked past us, we immediately got up and left the restaurant. There were really few guests there, so it wasn't that... definitely one less restaurant that I will visit and recommend in my hometown. 👍🏻

Good food and a good view offer a meal that you won't quickly forget. I'd love to come back.

Service, ambience and food were really very good. We felt very comfortable here.

Very good but it felt like I had to wait forever for the food

The food was good, but unfortunately there was always a bit of alcohol in the cocktails. Service was very good!

Great start to the Tübingen evening. Nice waiters

Very nice service and nice atmosphere! Highly recommended! Great start to the evening and nice staff

Super great, attentive team! Mega good food and a great view are guaranteed!

Chris is amazing was very good!!! Food was huge definitely worth the investment!!!

Delicious food, service actually nice, maybe a little slow.

A wonderful place with a view of the Neckar. The food is very tasty, the prices are reasonable. We'd love to come back!

The food took a while and was only lukewarm. Taste ok but nothing special. Service very nice and friendly.

We were there for a drink. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, although there was a long wait before we could order a second time.

The burgers we ate were super tasty 👍👍

Best restaurant I know, good food and friendly staff!!!

Actually everything is very good. Unfortunately the burger bun wasn't really warm. But it was also quite busy when we were there. The waiter was definitely really great.

Very friendly and fast service. I can only recommend El Chico. With a beautiful view of the Neckar.

I've waited twenty minutes on my simple drink. Then I went to the bar and he didn't reply. Waste of time.

STEAK WAS MEDIUM ORDER. 4 YEARS AGO

Rarely have I experienced such rude service. We arrived and had to point out to the waiter that the table was dirty and there were stickies everywhere. Even after he “cleaned” it, it was still dirty. There was obviously a shift change during the stay, but things didn't get better - on the contrary, they got worse. We had to ask for our drink several times (there were maybe three or four tables occupied), and people at the neighboring table even asked loudly whether anyone was working there. POW: the group of four then left the location. After repeated questions and a subsequent discussion with the young woman from the service, we finally received the drink including an inappropriate comment. Back at the bar we heard her loudly gossiping about us (I assume in Croatian, I also understood some of the words). This is absolutely not possible! A simple “I’ll take care of it right away” or something else would have been enough. Instead you were insulted. Keep your eyes open when choosing a career - or instead of the operator when selecting personnel. The food, however, was okay, there was nothing to complain about. There were displays on the tables saying that they would show their appreciation if there was a recession in exchange for an espresso or something similar. I thought it was a bad joke - but it was probably meant seriously. One thing is for sure - it was the last time I was there. The restaurant expects money for its services. But this should also be provided in return... Anyone who visits the restaurant should therefore be really sure whether they are in the right place or whether they would rather go to Reutlingen or Stuttgart, for example.

I had a mojito, a bit strong for my taste, but after the ice melted a bit, quite good again. For dinner I had the taco salad con queso, it tasted good, a decent portion, nothing to complain about.

A wonderful stay at El Chico. Beautiful view of the Neckar and Neckar Bridge, great food and best of all: the service from the first minute to the last, simply fantastic and exemplary

Great ambience, patient and entertaining service, delicious food.

Great food and nice service. Was delicious

The food is very good! Service is fine too! Nice to sit above the Neckar!

I found it very nice. I would love to come back

Very good food and very nice waiters

The service is very friendly and accommodating! You have the option of sitting directly on the terrace with a view of the Neckar, or making yourself comfortable in the beautifully furnished interior. The food is also very tasty and there is something for everyone.

The service staff were very friendly, nice atmosphere and good food.

Very nice to sit outside by the water.

Super delicious food and great atmosphere

Very nice staff, nice and pleasant atmosphere

Always very good food, friendly atmosphere and service Can only be recommended

The outside area was great with a view of the Neckar, but unfortunately the food was absolutely mediocre. At least everything that isn't Mexican.

Top service with a good selection and a nice location

Very good food, really fast service. Gladly again and again.

The food was very good! As always!

It was good, the diligence was a bit too much but still within limits. Service and ambience are top -> view of the Neckar

The food is of very poor quality, the waiters are rude and it seems that the manager is not very happy with his team. Bad vibes in general, nothing to do with good Latin vibes

Nice service and nice atmosphere. Very tasty food

Fast and friendly service. Food was good and well portioned.

Unfortunately it can no longer be compared to a visit a few years ago... Nice location right on the Neckar, you received a friendly welcome, the service was a bit clumsy and clumsy, the food was tasteless, didn't have the ingredients as described on the menu, the rice was dry and not seasoned, the enchiladas were held together by unseasoned tomato paste. The best part was the homemade lemonades, which would make it worth coming back for.

Food came quickly, looked very tasty and tasted exactly the same. We'll be back 🤞🏽🍔

Wir hatten keine Reservierung, wir haben einen Platz innerhalb des Restaurants zugewiesen bekommen (gleich mit der Option, sobald was frei wird, dürft Ihr in Richtung Balkon/Neckarblick aufrücken, was keine 10 min. später erfolgt ist) und dann einen schönen Abend mit sehr nettem, höflichen Personal und gutem Essen genossen. Jederzeit gerne wieder - da kann sich das Lokal darunter mehr als nur eine Scheibe davon abschneiden!

it’s great, the food is very tasty, i really enjoyed churros

My favourite restaurant in whole Tübingen. Loved Sweet potato and Churros. I'd also really recommend Burrito. 10/10.

Super chilled atmosphere, great cocktails

the food is awesome and so is the service, loved it!!

Taco salad very tasty, as well as very refreshing homemade lemonade. Very friendly service.

Usually not that bad. Today the service was unfortunately very overwhelmed and we waited 45 minutes for our food because the kitchen was probably understaffed. A wrong drink, the enchiladas weren't good either (old tortillas were obviously too hard despite the sauce) It's a shame otherwise it's better
