I lived in Sherman for about 7 years and can honestly say there's not a better place for Mexican food. La Mesa is popular in the area, but seems to be nothing but cheaply made tex-mex that could easily be made in your home kitchen to me. El Chico definitely offers up more creative and flavorful entrees. From their queso and nachos, to their fajitas and carne asada, everything is good. I've had just about everything on the menu (minus the ribeye, which I hear is the best in town) and love the chicken fajita nachos and chicken fajitas the most. Another thing that sets it apart is the management. After being out of Sherman for a few years, the GM, Ray, still recognizes me and makes sure to some by my table and catch up whenever I'm in town and stop by...
Pros: Something good for everyone's liking/Cheap XX Beer
Cons: I don't live five minutes from there anymore
