Stopped here and got lunch while working in the area and was pleasantly surprised. El Especial looks like a typical strip mall taco joint from the outside and for the most part it fits the bill. The inside however is clean and vibrantly decorated and just exudes a very pleasant vibe. Everyone raved about the food especially the chicken. I ordered steak quesadillas and the steak was kind of tough but it tasted good and the taco sauces were excellent. Also the food was very affordable.

Fantastic food we’re so happy we found it. Clearly made from scratch delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. Wish we lived closer we’d go every week! The taco and Pozole were fresh, delicious, top notch. Muchas gracias El Especial!

Someone recommended this place and I'm glad they did. The food was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. I went alone the first time and it was so good that I took my family to eat there the next day and they loved it too. We had beef, chicken and ground turkey tacos/nachos. Good portions and clean establishment.

Everything was awesome. Great rice and beans. Burritos were excellent with or without sauce. Fajitas were enough for two.....or my leftovers! A hit with the whole party!
