Guacamole made at the table fresh
Rose M. E.

Food was delicious. Guacamole made at the table, pollo Santa Fe, flaming fajitas all wonderful. Drinks on the other hand were terrible. Nice waitress but she was too busy to bring us our check. Vents on the ceiling were nasty and need a good cleaning.

Top Shelf Margarita and Pina Colada
Monica C.

Wonderful food, service, and drinks. Reasonably priced as well. You must try the table-side guacamole! It is wonderful.

Margarita
Jerrica C.

Local here we have a Mexican restaurant closer to home but pass it up almost 90% of the time to come here. This last time we went we tried something new that I would have never thought to order and we absolutely loved it. Top check margaritas were great and we even had their table side guacamole, to which my six year old tried for the first time and DEVOURED it. The facility was clean and all waiters were friendly and professional.

Awesome food, service great.. very fast.. The drink was great.. nice relaxing place to go , across from Shed in Gautier

Lindos
Karen C.

I stopped here due to I-10 traffic and because I figured it would be faster than the Shed. This huge plate of food "Lindos" was enough for 3 meals. It's like all the fajita sizzling a over rice. And a small guac tasty and perfect chips. Plus the staff are sweet and efficient, and the tables are painted like artwork and the chairs and booths are nice and solid. Much more on the inside than you'd expect on the outside. I will definitely return.

Burrito Vallarte
Dimitri R.

Apparently this burrito is not on the menu anymore but yet still serve it. It was the most filling, flavorful burrito I have ever had for the price. We also had margs and they were well mixed and had flavor. We will for sure be back.

Frozen mango margarita
James W.

Nice Mexican restaurant just North of I-10 at exit 50. Nice big parking lot with nearby bar & grill, Vietnamese restaurant, and Snip It (which I will review separately). Friendly, prompt service and a generalized "comfortable " setting. I had a frozen mango margarita which was magnificent and a shredded chicken burrito that was large and filling for just $16. And I took more than half the burrito home with me. Certainly worth a visit to check it out if you like Mexican food!

Burrito special- soooo good!

Great service and great tacos. A little runny, but amazing tacos. Located in a shopping center next to exit 57 north, across from the shed

Typical Mexican fare with some extraneous items. The quality and presentation of the food is…read moregenerally excellent. The chips and salsa are very good, but with too much cilantro in the salsa for my taste. The loaded baked potato is particularly good, but it is best to request it well done. Chicken strips, tacos, and fries are all very nice. The location and visibility from the road are excellent. Inside, the restaurant is very spacious and generally pleasant. Of note, Lee Carreon, a well-known singer and guitarist working at various Mexican restaurants in the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama, plays here each Monday from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. It is always a treat to listen to him, as well as all of his habitual guests. If you want to, you can dance also! Overall, this is a great place, especially on Monday night.

Hair in the drink, waitress asked if we wanted to send it back ???? Ordered a quesadilla served…read morewith hardly any cheese. It was so bad, we actually asked if it was on the kids menu. Refused to pay for one soft tortilla with no cheese and sent it back. Terrible service, no apologies, manager stated that that was normal. You get more cheese at Taco Bell. Three people / two main meals / 3 margaritas $85. Would never go back.

The four of us that went here expected it to be good unfortunately we were very disappointed with…read moreservice and food. We selected this spot because it's located across the street from the hotel we reserved and when we got out of our car the smell of the food was good. We went in and they kindly greeted us and said it we will be seated in about 30 minutes. We accepted and greatly was seated in 10 minutes, that was the good part. We walked to the table and I saw a guest with a plate of fajita and noticed it looked bland. They gave tortilla chips and salsa, the chips had no salt and the salsa was very mushy with no taste. I ordered Birria tacos, no season. The dipping sauce is very watery taste. It came with beans that had a very improper season. The enchiladas and other orders my family had was flavorless, low quality of ingredients, guacamole was too mushy. Someone dropped a plate that crashed on the floor. It took the waitress around 10 minutes to bring our tickets to pay. Waitress didn't check in on us. We had to wait for more water.

During a recent Hurricane evacuation, Hacienda San Miquel was conveniently walking distance from…read moreour hotel. Lunch proved to be our next meal and so we walked over. Not quite Margarita time for me, but I spotted a really fun full bar and an extensive menu of specialty drinks and bar food specials. The menu looked really nice and while I was gonna go for the street tacos, We opted for the limited Lunch Menu at the last minute. (served until 3) The lunch menu had something for everyone. I gorge out on the complimentary chips and salsa but my son chose to order the "large" queso which is definitely enough for 4 people... wow! what a portion. The salsa came in cute little carafe and was very mild for any latino tongue, but I loved it. Son ordered the quesadilla and I the loco burrito. Plenty of food, I really enjoyed mine which was accompanied by pico and guacamole salad. Son slathered his with more of the queso and we both requested boxes to go. The surroundings and staff were very pleasant. Perhaps I'll pop over for a margarita later, I saw a jalapeño one that might just do the trick.
