El Mazatlan

They have great food I'm from Florida came to visit my dad here in North Carolina we went to eat there and the food was great

I haven’t even left the parking lot and feel the need to write a review. We moved here 8months ago from Texas. Some of the best Mexican food you can find is there. We haven’t been able to find anything half as good as what we ate back home. UNTILL TODAY. This is the closest thing to Mexican food back home It’s so delicious! Everyone was so nice and even though we live an hour away, we are absolutely coming back. We are really confused as to how this place has anything less then 5 stars.

The food tastes good and I've never gotten sick, but, you know how you feel iffy when food arrives too quickly? That's this place. I've always noticed my meal arrives way too quickly IMO, especially since they say on their menus "Fresh Food Prepared Daily"...

Case in point, today I decided to actually time my experience from walking in the door to receiving my food. Took 10 seconds to be seated, that's good, no wait time. 18 seconds from sitting down to get a drink order in, again good. One minute later receive drink. One minute later to look over menu and place order, so far so good. I ordered the Texas Taco Salad, that's going to have steak, chicken, and shrimp in it. It took less than four minutes from placing the order with my waitress to it arriving at the table with a piping hot plate.

There's efficiency, yes, but this screams to me that even if they do cook everything in house daily, they must make it all first thing in the morning, scoop it out as needed and heat it back up. I don't see any way for a taco salad to be made in such a short period of time otherwise. On the plus side, it's way faster that most fast food places.

Talk about super fast service. You can't even get the Americanized drive thru restaurants to get your food to you as fast as this place can. If every manager would shadow these guys for a few hours the food world would be a changed game but that won't happen. So in the mean time your best bet is going to be to just go here and keep coming back for the fastest service and amazing food you can find. You won't be disappointed.
