The Mexican food at El Nido is terrific! Our table had several different orders of fajitas and they were all (steak, chicken, shrimp) great. The salsa and guacamole with chips were also excellent. We found the waitstaff to be lacking even though there were only a few tables being used in the main dining room. Took 20 minutes to two margaritas and a glass of wine. That was a big negative at the start of dinner. However, definitely would go back as they serve what I would call high end Mexican food.

El Nido was a quiet summer Season experience and all we could think is how noisy it could be in Season. Service was great from a hospitality major at Gulf Coast University. Food was very good and we thought very large portions. My husband does not care for plantains but loved the maduros served with the meal. We should get back here to eat again before the crowds arrive.

The food was absolutely delicious, everything was so flavorful, even things I don’t normally love at Mexican restaurants (like beans)! This place is highly underrated and probably one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve eaten at. Our service was also excellent, everyone was attentive and friendly. If we lived here we would come back, unfortunately only here for vacation!
