We went to this restaurant due to positive reviews on Yelp, but were very disappointed by the experience. Â The atmosphere is dreadful--dark green walls, black ceiling, no windows, like being inside an avocado. Â The food was even worse. Â My friend had shrimp in garlic sauce, which was edible, but not appealing. Â I had seafood enchiladas in green sauce, which supposedly had scallops, crab and shrimp. Â I have never had a worse Mexican dish. Â There was no crab or scallops (there was ample fake crab) and the shrimp were microscopic and rubbery. Â The sauce was sour and also not very appealing. Â Service was fine, but it was the only redeeming quality. Â I had hopes--the menu is big and reviews I saw were good--but I will never go back. Â Avoid this place.
Review Source:As far as I know, this is one of two El Reparo restaurants, the other being in Brookville. Â I was surprised at 1 p.m. to be the only customer in the place. Â Later, a few other people arrived.
The lunch menu seemed very much like El Rodeo, down to the Speedy Gonzalez and the #3 Enchilada with rice and beans that I often order.
The chips weren't very good--the usual cook-them-once-reheat them-many-times kind of chips. Â The accompanying salsa was good. Â I know that they don't have time to cook the chips in individual batches but it would certainly taste much, much better.
The enchilada came with ground beef--I forgot to specify the filling--and the sauce was good. Â I'd almost think it was the same kind that El Rodeo and so many others use. Â The rice was particularly tasty and the beans were good.
The price wasn't bad, especially considering the lack of customers. Â You'd think that they'd have to charge more to keep it open for lunch.
They had two tvs mounted high on the walls, so I would imagine that they have a great after-work crowd and during sports events.  The décor was amusing with little cactus figures on the partitions and paintings on the walls to remind you of Mexico.
