El Conquistador - Waco

This place is so much better than Trujillos Mexican Restaurant; El Conquistador did more than make it up when I took my GF here after our visit to Trujillos some weeks ago. At El Conquistador, the staff are friendly, attentive, helpful with the menu, patient, and actually just pretty cool people. The food and drinks are stellar! I was actually very surprised by the speed, quality, and portions; very much worth it to dine here. Lastly, the restaurant is clean, well-lit, and actually looks presentable. In summary, I strongly recommend El Conquistador, and I urge you to not waste your time with a crummy establishment like Trujillos.

Great little gem! The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Our orders were perfect without her writing anything down. Food was tasty and well presented. Con: unannounced fee for credit card use and having to go to cashier to pay.

I've probably eaten here 1000 times, and they never disappoint. My go-to meal is the satisfying Student Special. I love the rich, spicy gravy they serve over their gooey cheese enchilada, and the crisp, fresh tostada balanced the meal perfectly. I load it up with the table salsa, which also compliments their excellent tortilla chips. The family that owns this business has created a local gem that offers warm hospitality and great food. Don't miss it!

Excellent service and enjoyed our meal. All of the food was good, although a bit bland for tex-mex. I took advise of another reviewer and asked for spicier salsa. Brought out a green salsa that did the trick. Guacamole was great; queso was so so; enjoyed a variety of enchiladas. Charro beans may have been the highlight of the meal. Loved our sweet waitress.

Really good fajitas!! Came on a locals recommendation and we had delicious beef and chicken fajitas!
