This is the best Mexican restaurant in the whole Branson and the surrounding. Service is excellent, food amazing,prices... reasonable ???? I have been to every restaurant in and out 9f town nothing compares to this place I think the only thing I wouldsuggest to fix is their bathrooms to small and outdated. Read more

El Lago is absolutely awesome! We went with 2 toddlers during dinner time and it was very busy, but we were seated quickly, and... service was fast and on top of everything. The food was tasty and the portions were large. I got 4 tacos with the Tuesday Tacospecial. I only ate 2 and saved the other two because they were quite filling. Best of all, it was very reasonably priced! Iwill definitely come back anytime I'm near West Branson. Read more

Having just moved to the area from KC, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find many genuinely authentic Mexican restaurants-... and maybe I won't be able to... but at least I found one. El Lago is legit. Seriously great food that's authentic, beautifullyprepared, and priced perfectly (the pretentious, overblown prices found in American-ized Mexican restaurants are nowhere to befound). First test of any Mexican restaurant worth their margarita salt - the chips and salsa -- light chips, perfectly doneand a really solid table salsa. Ask for the hot and mix with the og for the best possible experience. I had the Yucatan burritoentree on my first visit and it made me weak in the knees. It may seem an odd pairing - a burrito with a side of grilledonions? But once you combine the sweetish, creamy burrito sauce, the savory burrito innards, and one of those carmelized onions-- holy mother of pearl, get ready to transcend your banal, flavorless existence outside El Lago's four walls forever. It maywell ruin you for anything else in this life. One bite and an unbeliever will see the light and leave speaking in tongues. Thestaff was polite, fast, and even while running a million miles a minute to keep up with a packed dining room, attentive andaccurate. Solid staff and amazing food. What more could you people possibly want out of a hole-in-the-wall paradise of culinarydelights? Daily specials and cheap, strong margaritas? Well wouldn't you know it, they've got those too. What's the catch? OnceI find it I'll let you know, but for now El Lago towers so far above any other offerings in the area that they could all turnout to be homocidal maniacs and I'd still convince people to separate the artists from the art and support them withouthesitation. Oh! I guess I should mention - I really enjoyed my visit and I think El Lago makes good food. Five stars Read more

I thought the environment was nice overall. I ordered the Chile relleno and the sauce tasted odd to me. The chimmi was super... small. I asked for my margarita to be frozen but it came on the rocks. The veggies were plentiful. The salsa was good and theservice was good as well. Read more

Looked up this place on google and the reviews were spot on!!! AMAZING!! Fajitas for 2 for the WIN!! If you're not a big eater... I'm sure fajitas for 1 would have been plenty!! Very friendly staff and very quick service. If we come back to Branson we willbe back!! Read more

Food was great. Service outstanding. The server could speak faster than my ears could listen, but somehow he managed to... understand everything I said and my order came out perfect. Highly recommended. We'll be bank when we return to Branson West. Read more

Stopped for lunch while waiting for scheduled activities on Branson. My family all ordered something different and everyone... loved it. I had the chimichanga which I highly recommend. Great, fast service. Read more
