El Chicos Mexican Cantina - Lambeth

The restaurant had a terrible smell inside, the toilets were unclean, the food had no taste, and it was not Mexican at all. I recommend avoiding this place. We wasted 110 dollars for a group of four people and it was the worst work lunch ever. We ended up with stomach pains for several hours afterwards.

Worst restaurant in Streatham. Waitress didn’t understand our order. Starters and mains all came out together and rather tried to blame it on computer Food ULTRA salty and tasteless. Manager or person in charge on the floor very rude, no customer service.

We came here for Mothers Day. The staff took over 10 minutes to bring out drinks mind you there was only 2 tables occupied. They didn’t have some of the items on the menu. I wish they would of said when we ordered as we had to wait even longer for food to come out as it took them at least 20-30 minutes to tell us they didn’t have item on stock. Starters came out with the main. I wouldn’t visit again. Very slow service.

I am a big fan of El Chicos; they consistently serve delicious food and provide a fun evening out in Streatham. Litza, the friendly German host, was attentive and helpful. Thank you.

The fajitas were fantastic and absolutely delicious. I had the vegetarian option and it was amazing. The only thing that could have made it better would be if they had beer on tap. This was my second visit and I can't fault anything about this place. The vibe was great and it was an overall excellent experience.
