Disappointing

I used to really like El Centro back at their old location. This was my first visit since they moved to the Jalan Dewan location, and it was TERRIBLE! 1. The service was SNAIL PACE SLOW. Getting someone to even take our order was an ordeal i do not wish upon my worst enemy. And when we finally managed to order, we kept it simple by ordering only three dishes, and yet it took around almost an hour for us to get it. Saw the staff walking back and forth, seemingly for no reason. In the time we waited, we saw a table of people arrive, wait for someone to take their order but nobody did, so they left. All while we waited for our food. 2. FOOD QUALITY WAS NOT WORTH THE PRICE. The cheese used was cheap and rubbery, the sandwich was cold and hard (i waited for almost an hour, least you could do is make sure the food is fresh) and the pizza was underwhelming. And it wasn't cheap! Didnt take any pics cos well, why would i bother.

Solid Mexican food in Kota Kinabalu

Serve a good Mexican foods. The food was good and worth every penny. However, the service quite slow through only few people were there during lunch. It’s worth to drop by this place, if you crave for a good Mexican food.

Good food + lovely company 😌

You know the food is good when you don't say anything, you just go "mmm" 😌 One of my dear friend has been craving for super bad unhealthy food. So I suggested we go here and I did not regret one bit. I mean look at these glorious dishes, these might clog our arteries a little but yet we still went for it anyways 👀 1. Mediterranean Chorizo Wrap (right upper) 2. Philly Cheesesteak (left) 3. Chicken and Red Onion Quesadilla (right lower) I had the Mediterranean Chorizo Wrap, first bite into the wrap, OH YES! 🤤 The brinjal was pretty good with the beef chorizo. And the fries? I'm fucking sold. They perfected the crispness of the fries, right amount of seasoning, other places that sell fries could never. My friends love the food they had as well, I got to try the quesadilla damn it's good I might have quarter life crisis and I was pretty tempted to try their margaritas, but I didn't, so I think I'll return another time to try their margaritas and try other food on their menu

Been here for few times, service is good, food is yummy. It’s always crowded during dinner time and good for family/friends gathering.

Love the ambience of this restaurant

🔺 Classic Philly Cheesesteaks (RM 23) Food under the category of Grilled Sandwich, and you can choose either with beef or chicken. I choose chicken for my sandwich. The chicken wrapped with very thick cheese, and for me sandwich abit dry since it is sauce-less. I would prefer if there’s abit sauce for my sandwich 😬 I’ll rate 8/10 for this. 🔺 Grilled Chicken Kebab (RM 25) Main dish. My husband ordered and this is nice! I love it😋 Taste of the chicken is just nice, and I’m a fan of mashed potatoes. I’ll rate 10/10 for their mashed potatoes 🤤 It just that the portion might seems small for people with big appetite. You might need to order extra snacks or pizza😅 and it would be better if they served draught beer instead of can beer🫣 Overall the environment and food is awesome! Will definitely come again to try out their pizza and bruschettas. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Late lunch @ el centro

I had california burrito ( ground beef) and my friend had tomato & basil bruschetta. Burrito is amazing. Its stuffed with 3 bean chilli and potato fries. Cost rm28. Brushetta is really good too. The basil taste is strong. And very refreshing. Cost rm12. Environment is clean and open air. There's a small bar where you can have some drinks.

Great for takeaways

Visited El Centro years ago at their old address and I remembered how much I loved their food. Ordered it via Grab and it was still delicious despite tapau-ing! Love their tacos and sandwiches, tho the fries were a bit over fried. Value for money too as the portion is reasonable.
