The place is aesthetically appealing, great atmosphere, but that was the best part about it. First of all the service left much to be desired.
It did not seem that the restaurant was busy enough for the servers to be so inattentive, but they were very hard to catch right from the beginning, the ones who try to avoid looking at you, so you literally have to catch them. When we finally got our food it was cold. Room temperature at best for both enchilada plates.
The burger on the kids plate was at least warm, but the fries were the only thing that was hot. Even when the food was heated up, it was bland and tasteless. I was very disappointed in the food and the service.
We went here because someone compared their enchiladas to Jacalas.
Wow, was that wrong.
We had to work hard to catch someone to bring us the check, even. Maybe we went on a bad night, but that was my experience.
Good luck.

We ate lunch there and were greeted by a nice lady.
Our meal came quickly and the food was very good.
The tortillas were especially delicious.
Our waitress was not great.
We waited for extra tea and water and she never smiled or seemed interested in us at all. When asked for a tea to go she brought me an empty cup with no straw and walked away before I could say anything.
Her tip definitely reflected her service.

They used to have one of these is San Antonio.
I remembering as a little girl having a few birthday parties at El Tipico.
This place is nostalgia for me and I STILL love their food.
