This place has the most unbelievable food, service & atmosphere I have ever experienced in this town. I have compared their cheese enchiladas to a number of restaurant acrossed the globe, and have yet to find any that have come even remotely close to the ones served at Effie's! Thank you for giving me something else to look forward to every time I come back home.

Love the food. It's a good family restaurant!! Great chips and salsa! The service is great. I really enjoy to go to eat in here!!

1/2 order of beef and bean nachos. There are 6 nachos on this plate. It cost $6.74!

My wife and I went to a Friday night movie and then visited Effie's. My family used to go to Effie's Cantina when I was younger, so I wanted to share the new Effie's with my wife. We arrived right before 9pm. They close at 10, but the whole time we were there, the staff was more worried about closing than anything else. We were not the only table in the restaurant, but we were the last table in the restaurant at 9:30 when we checked out. They cut off the lights before we even left the parking lot. The more significant reason for my one-star rating, though, is that for dinner I ordered a 1/2 order of beef and bean nachos; I did not expect 6 nacho chips. I was even kind of okay with it because I expected a pretty inexpensive check (around 3 or 4 bucks). As I recall, they used to be affordable. I remember seeing the price on the menu, but I couldn't recall once the SIX nachos arrived. When the waitress brought the food, she said, "you're just teasing yourself". I wished she would've told me that literally the order is that of SIX NACHOS, and it would have been even better if she could have warned me when I ordered. At check out, I shared my concern with the hostess. She said that was normal and that I was not the first to complain. I asked how many were on the full order. She explained that the full order was considerably bigger. In my mind, if a half order is six chips, that would mean the full order is twelve. For $6.74, the half order of nachos is completely unacceptable. I honestly was flabbergasted! Wow!

Great service!

Authentic and tasty TEXMEX food made to perfection with quality fresh ingredients. A true revival of the popular Effie's Cantina of old. The chimichangas are to die for and they must be finished with some delicious flan.

We're back! The original Effie's Cantina family that proudly began serving the Wiregrass area in 1986.

This is a cute and vibrant establishment, the interior looks much more inviting than the exterior…read more My husband and I have been trying all the local Enterprise Mexican restaurants to see which we prefer the most. We stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon around 1 and we were one of 2 people in the entire restaurant. We were seated immediately, and our food came out quickly. Our service was great, and our waitresses were very friendly and attentive throughout our stay. I loved the tile tables. My only complaint was in the booth area there was very little room between the backside of the booth and the table, I felt rather uncomfortable, and it was extremely difficult getting in and out of the booth. The walls next to our booth table had some odd streaks of red/orange coloring that made the area feel not very clean compared to the painted white walls. The salsa was delicious, our chips were fresh, thin, and crispy, the queso came out nice and hot with a great thin texture like it hadn't been sitting out all day. We ordered the steak fajitas and an enchilada combo. The enchilada was very bland with not a lot of sauce, I prefer mine to be smothered in enchilada sauce with lots of flavor. The beans were delicious with a great consistency. The rice was a letdown. It had hardly any flavor at all and tasted stale. Fajitas were just ok. We loved the margarita glasses and ordered the Texas margaritas which were delicious and well made! They also had a lot of cute photo op areas around the restaurant. Overall it was just a mid experience, like it wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. I am not sure if we would go back as we have found more flavorful food at other Mexican restaurants nearby, but we are happy we gave it a try, and a decent spot to stop by for a quick bite.

I hate leaving negative reviews, especially because my family and I have genuinely enjoyed Tacos…read moreWay for a long time. We eat here regularly, usually every couple of weeks, and I typically spend $50+ each visit while also leaving a good tip. On my most recent visit, I noticed something that left me feeling singled out. When I arrived, the complimentary mint container was its normal size. After paying and eating, I walked out of the restaurant and noticed the mint container had been replaced with a much smaller one. There are no signs or posted policies stating that customers are limited in how many complimentary mints they can take. I went back inside, and by the time I did, the mint container had been switched back to its normal size. I grabbed a handful of mints and said, "Thank you." As I was leaving, one of the young women behind the counter immediately turned to the other employee and said, "It's him," and the other employee audibly gasped. Whether intentional or not, it made me feel embarrassed and as though I had been specifically targeted over something that had never been communicated as an issue. If there is a limit on the complimentary mints, that's completely the restaurant's right. I just believe it should be communicated with a simple sign or a polite conversation instead of making a regular customer feel singled out. After discussing the experience with my family, who also eat here every couple of weeks, we've decided we won't be returning. That's disappointing because we genuinely liked the food and wanted to continue supporting this business. I hope this feedback is taken constructively so future customers don't leave feeling the way I did.
