    By far one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I felt very welcomed the minute I walked in the door. Very friendly greeting by everyone that worked there and to top it off the food was phenomenal. I felt as if Grandma had just whipped me up some enchiladas reminiscing of the good ol days. The enchiladas were simple but yet so delicious. Hope to be back again soon.

    We've eaten at El Minuto for over forty years. Family owned and operated for generations it is a popular local haunt. Highly recommend for lunch specials and local ambiance.

    Went there for the first time on 4th of July because where i live had no electricity so my wife and i decided we'd go here to eat and the casino after well we can agree and say the food was good but our service sucked . but we might go back one day . just saw them on the news as well . the little boy was adorable. Great food. Service needs help.

    Excellent service and kind staff. The food was perfect! I highly recommend the flat cheese enchiladas with beans and rice its vegetarian and a unique take on the enchilada (its like a thick cornmeal patty) which is hearty and delicious!

    This is probably the best Mexican food I have had in a very long time. I was born in Mexico and I have visited many Mexican restaurants, and nothing compares to the great food they serve here. It is better than my Mom's food (sorry Mom). The place is very nice, clean, the staff is very friendly, they even remembered my name the second time I visited. It is just fantastic!
