El Norteno always exceeds expectations! The food is always hot, and always delicious. The service is commendable. We have never had any complaints! El Norteno is the best Mexican food in the area! They have a "Taco Tuesday" which is always incredible and the staff has been great too. The waitresses are wonderful! I highly recommend the restaurant!

Clean and friendly. Food was ok but I felt was too overpriced. Portions are nice but the grade of chicken they use isn't the greatest.

I drove here to pick up dinner for my family and when I got home, I saw that my meal wasn't in the bag. I called the restaurant back right away to tell them it was missing and that I was going to come back to get it. Instead of offering me a simple solution, the employees decided to argue with each other whether the dinner was in my bag for several minutes. I finally had to get the attention of the woman on the phone because I was just sitting there listening to them argue. When I got back to the restaurant, the women employees were laughing at me (how very professional of them) and the man who brought my food out snickered and insisted he made the dinner the first time. They would rather accuse a customer of being a liar and a thief than admit they were wrong. I will not be returning to this restaurant. This is one of four Mexican restaurants we order carry-out from and this one is by far the worst. Plus, it's more expensive than the others. My dinner was ice cold as well, which proves it was left behind the first time.
