We had a good time. Our waitress was great. The food was good but a bit salty. We would definitely give this place another shot. The shrimp quesadilla was good Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Cheese Dip, Shrimp Quesadilla

Excellent quality. The chicken soup is superb. I also had the shrimp quesadilla and the cheese dip with chorizo. So yummy!

One of the few decent dining options in Green Hills that is not a chain. EP has been open for many years and is consistent in its menu and flavor. It is small and can get crowded during peak lunch and dinner times, but most times one can grab a booth and get down to business. I like the host of lunch and dinner options available through number and varied food selections. However, the standard fajita, enchilada and taco options can stand alone. The prices are a bit high in relation to other Mexican establishments and the food is no better than many of these. The service is always lackluster but the kitchen churns meals out in a timely fashion. These issues should not deter one from trying the food, which is tasty, and in this part of town, there are no other options for Mexican fare.
