El Chino Mexican Restaurant

Been a long time since we'd been there. Still delicious. Service was quick and reasonably priced. They have great lunch specials.

Now that I think about it after the dinner with my ex-coworkers I realize the acoustics in there are really good because there was a lot other people in there also and I didn't really hear anybody at the other tables and was able to hear All the people of my table.

I made sure to eat here on three separate occasions before leaving this review to ensure my experience wasn’t an outlier or luck of the draw. I love El Chino. Each of my visits have been excellent. I have ordered a variety of items, including different types of enchiladas and tacos. The food has been consistently delicious and fresh. I cleaned my entire plate every time. Keep in mind that I visited El Chino for lunch, so I cannot speak to the service later in the evening, but I was happy to be seated and served very quickly on all three visits. The prices are fair and reasonable. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. There are booths and tables to sit at. This isn’t the most fancy restaurant you will ever visit, but you can expect a tasty meal and friendly service. The food arrived to my table hot and well cooked. Pretty good chips and salsa. Full Bar available, beer served in pint glasses. I will be returning to El Chino regularly. The front parking lot is small but you can access more parking in the back.

I was working an event at One Plant and needed a bite and was delighted to find a la carte enchiladas on the menu here! It was perfect- the shredded beef was tender, full of flavor and they put plenty of it inside. The sauce was delicious and I was really happy- for a person with a small stomach the portion was perfect. I'll be looking forward to my next visit to Soquel when I'll try the enchilada Verde!

Excellent food. The waiters and waitresses are so Kind and friendly. They make sure you are comfortable and happy with your meal. I've been coming here since I was a kid. I really love the food here. The 1 1/2 pound borrito is my favorite.
