El Presidente Bar & Grill

There are two great Mexican restaurants in De Pere and this one has the most options on their menu. Prices are fair, margaritas are good, and service attentive.

My favorite place in Green Bay/​De Pere for mexican. There is something about El Presidente that made me fall for it. I am not a fajita person normally (Chimichanga all the way) BUT, the El Presidente Fajitas have the most incredible flavor. I highly recommend that, you get plenty of food for $ 13.99. Second recommendation is the Gordo burrito– giant burrito filled with pork tips, sweet onions, bacon, rice and covered with white queso.
It’s not the most upscale place, but service for me has always been good. Margaritas can be very large, and are really good. They have homemade bottomless chips and salsa, love love love the flavor of them both. If you’re looking for a casual delicious mexican dinner/​lunch, this is the place. Cost is on the low end, never a wait for a table, service is relatively quick, fajitas are the best!

Enchiladas and burritos were not very good it was basically just seasoned meat in a tortilla but the fajitas are pretty good. Also the margaritas and daiquiris are pretty good. Overall not a bad place but not the most flavorful Mexican food you can find in the area.

Stopped by here as we were packing to leave our company the day before we where heading out of town. This is nothing to brag about. I’m from the south and grew up around real Mexican food and this is not it. I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD and their for am very picky about it. The cheese dip was not authentic at all it tasted like velveta with milk. Their rice and beans where horrible and their meat had no spice to it at all. Will never return to this restaurant or recommend it.

Great food and good service! The table-​side made guacamole was delicious! If you are looking for good quality Mexican food this is the place.

Our favorite mexican place in the area. Great selection, beers and margs are huge and the food is hot, flavorful and fresh. Their chicken chimichanga is one of the best I’ve ever eaten!
Last visit our food was a touch slow coming out, but our server was attentive and apologetic, though it was unnecessary. I would highly recommend it!

This maybe my new favorite Mexican place. The salsa and homemade chips were delivered promptly and they were delicious. Sometimes places have really greasy chips but these were perfect. The menu has a little bit of everything and is reasonable in price. I ordered the burrito cancun. I really like that it came with a salad and rice as a side as I wanted a lighter option with the heavy burrito. The guacamole was a pleasant surprise in the salad it had large chunks of onion and tomato. I had enough burrito left over for lunch today. The décor was fun as well and it was nice and warm in the restaurant which was a big plus due to the cold weather.
The lack of a star is due to the confusing parking for this place and the fact that we were asked way to many times if we wanted more chips. It bordered on harassment a bit towards the end there. I am not mad it was just strange.
I will be back for sure stop in when you get the chance.

Tried this place the other night while in town. Not bad all! Chips and salsa were good — fresh salsa too! We all had tacos — they were traditional and excellent. Choice of beef, chicken, or shredded beef. Shredded beef rocks! Service was good too. Check them out!

We went here as a group of 4 last night for dinner, service was good, food was good, I really like their salsa! The biggest issue we had was my husband’s order! We all got the right food and drinks, except my husbands they never got right! He ordered a beer on tap, which they ended up being out of, when they gave him his second choice it was the wrong size, then his dinner order came with the wrong type of meat and wrong toppings. They did a good job of correcting things as we requested, however throwing in a free dessert or something would have gone a long way. We will still come back to try again.

5 stars, BUT BUT BUT please take into consideration i have only been there one time, and the deliciousness of my meal increases my rating greatly. The rest of their dishes might suck, i dont know. I also was there at noon on a wednesday, so not exactly peak hours.
However… i have lived in California for 12 years, Texas for 4 years, as well as washington state, north carolina, louisiana, and missouri, and i can say that this might have been the best mexican dish i’ve ever had. I got a form of fajitas, i can’t remember the name, but it was fajitas with chicken, bacon, poblano peppers, onions, bell peppers, and cheese. i’ve never before eaten until my stomach hurt, but i did this time because it was so good i didn’t want to leave it.
Also was seated quickly (again it was very empty when i went) and waiter was quick and attentive.

New management turned this place around with much more competent staff. Food is still good, ambiance is good, now finally good service.

Terrible service waited a hour for a table when they said 20 mins… then got sat down didnt get help for another 25mins when we got our food it was cold… im very dissapointed… ill be sticking with other mexican restaurant’s.

I may be splitting hairs here, but i find Black Creek El Presidente to be more customer friendly, clean and cheerful. Food is very comparable, however with the quality and flavor at both, little concerned DePere was real salty, ! I would stop again if in the DePere area but would prefer Black Creek! Christian & Mariah from Black Creek Rock!

Not sure why I like this place, but I do! Fun décor, fast with the chips and salsa. Margaritas are good (I order with Patron — and they oblige!) Hubby gets cerveza. Food comes reasonably fast, portions are good, flavor is good, prices are good. Good place for couples, kids, everyone.
Menu selection is huge. I like the street tacos, super authentic. My fave has been the nachos with chicken and chorizo. Last time we went there was a cart lady making fresh guacamole table side, we did not try it but it looked good!
I have been in there when it was packed (Friday night) and when it was not (Saturday afternoon) and many other times and they have been consistently good.

This place is rotten on all levels. Stay away. Two strikes and you are out.
Service was horrible. Appetizer was served with one of the orders for one of my four guests. The rest of the order trickle in over the course of 5 to 7 minutes. Took 15 minutes to get appetizer.
The place was completely empty. This is the second time I’ve been here. Figured everybody deserves a second chance. Never again.
Did I mention no music? Then music then static that music then static that music then static the music that static the music… For the last 15 minutes of our dinner.

Went here for lunch on a Friday, the restaurant was very clean and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We all tried the cheese queso dip and everyone agreed it was very good. Each of us had different items, they all arrived promptly, were the perfect temperature and very good. I tried the 2 softshell tacos with chicken, the chicken was nicely seasoned with lettuce and a Mexican type cheese. Great food that doesn’t cost a lot, we will definitely go back!
Update 8÷29÷14 — the majority of us tried salads this time, they were presented in fresh, crispy taco bowls with perfectly cooked and seasoned ingredients. I had the shrimp salad and it was really good, I will be getting that again!

I really like the food here, the service is very good. The only thing I would say is the portions are a little bit small.

Well first off when you walk in it is very Southwest Arizona looking but after that everything goes downhill. took my mom and daughter out for a nice lunch midweek. No silverware on the table and it took us two minutes into receiving our meals to get any napkins or utensils. sat down ordered food and waiter wrote down the order, very simple enchiladas and fajitas with no sour cream and no tomatoes and what happens? Waiter brings back food that had tomatoes and sour cream all over it like I told him not too put on there. He takes the plates back and 30 seconds later returns with same plates of food with the sour cream wiped off the plate and you could still see remnants of it on the lettuce and tomato seeds were still on the plate. I asked him why the food had those items on it and he said «oh I must’ve forgotten to write it down“and I said I watched you write it down but he says he probably wrote down the wrong thing. Being from California I have experienced true authentic Mexican food and good service and this place has neither. Not sure how you can stay in business when you run a place like this. Absolutely one of the worst restaurant experiences ever, do not eat here or waste your money.

The service and the food was excellent no Mexican restaurant around here can compare. As soon as we sat down we would give chips and salsa. The chips were still warm and they were good. Server came over to take drink orders. He was a little hard to understand but it is a Mexican restaurant. We had our drinks in what seemed like seconds. We ordered and our meal was to us within 10mins. It was hot and delicious. The décor was beautiful. I would recommend trying. My one complaint was that there was no way to block the sun that was blinding me. Even with that, the food made up for it.

Had the el presidente burrito and it was delicious. The staff was super helpful and nice. Can’t wait to go back.
