El Centinela Mexican - League City

Very reasonable prices. The food was great and big portions. The staff was also friendly and attentive.

Had a great night out with the family and decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. Arrived a few minutes before 8pm on a Saturday and there was only two other people in the restaurant. I was like ok, a bit weird but we are going to give it a try. After being seated we had our drink orders taken and chips and salsa hit the table. For the people that like a bit more normality during these times then this is right up your alley. Salt and pepper on the table, it was like a breath of fresh air. The chips are slightly thick with a good crunch and the salsa has a tad bit of heat, decent taste as well. Decided to try something different and we ordered the Chimichanga Ranchera with chicken. 5/10 Served with rice and beans. The chimichanga was decent but the ranchera sauce needs some help, it lacked any real flavor. The rice is your basic restaurant rice, nothing special and the refried beans were bland as well. It was not horrible but not something I would ever order again. Chili Con Queso Chimichanga with chicken, peppers and onions. 6/10 Served with rice and beans. The queso is really good and gives the chimichanga a decent flavor. The peppers and onions need a bit more time on the flat top. Cozumel 6/10 The dish is pretty good, the only complaint is a lack of flavor. The tilapia, shrimp, and cream sauce kinda meld together with the melted cheese on top. Served with charro beans and rice. The charro beans are decent but seem to be on the same boat as everything else, more flavor. Tortillas are homemade with a decent flavor. Fajita Flameada with Chicken. 7/10 This dish is pretty good, the chicken was a bit overcooked but overall not too bad. The chorizo was ok but like everything else lacked any real flavor. This place is definitely not the worst place to eat but overall could use a flavor lift. The customer service was good, maybe a bit more attention to empty chips and salsa but still good. Give it a try, it might be up your alley.

El Centinela restaurant is located on the corner from 518 and Highway 3. Great selection of Mexican dishes and the Staff are Super nice and friendly. What I like the most is the grill shrimp is Amazing Delicious! If you in the area go check it out if you fancy Mexican food.

My family loves to eat at El Centinela. The people are really nice, good and attentive service. They have good tea. The food is excellent. We love the fajitas, combo plates, and nachos. The chips and red sauce are so good! The margaritas are great!

The service was great, excellent red salsa. The enchilada plate was delicious. The jumbo burrito was tasty and filling. Only got half way through it. The refried beans were fantastic. The rice was okay, a little dry. The green sauce was decent. Not the best. But the red sauce definitely made up for it and was the bomb. Nice, quite ambience. Good experience.
