El Chico Caf is a restaurant chain that specializes in Mexican cuisine. Its story began in 1926, when Adelaida Cuellar's homemade tamales drew huge crowds at a small county fair. In 1940, her sons opened a cafe in Dallas that served enchiladas prepared by using their mother's recipes. Since then, the group has grown to a chain that owns, operates and franchises more than 100 restaurants throughout the South and Canada. The chain s menu includes a variety of fajitas, tacos, burritos, desserts, appetizers and salads. Its restaurants feature a selection of wines, including cabernet, chardonnay, zinfandel and merlot. El Chico Caf s signature line of products, The Top Shelf, offers a variety of enchiladas, quesadillas and margaritas. The chain provides catering services for business meetings, family gatherings and wedding ceremonies. In addition, it offers gift cards for various occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Mother s Day and Father s Day. The chain is a part of Consolidated Restaurant Operations, which operates more than 90 full-service facilities and over 25 franchises in nearly 10 U.S. states. El Chico Caf maintains several locations in Shreveport, La.

I was there for lunch Sunday Nov 11th. I haven't been there in over 20 years since I was much younger. Not only do they have the favorite things I always ate but a few new dishes I hadn't tried. Wonderful dinner. I ended up taking home the rest of mine and other people's plates but an extra to go plate. Only one thing wrong... needed a bigger chips and dip to take home. Best experience with a restaurant in years for me. Now if I could get it delivered that would be awesome.
