Really fast and friendly service even though it was 45 minutes before close. We didn't plan on stopping here but everywhere else was closed already (small town life ekk). I got the shrimp fiesta which is grilled shrimp, rice, cheese, and bacon. The bacon was old (end of the night expected) but the rest was delicious. The salsa and chips were great and the sweet tea was awesome.

We were about to turn into Sonic when we spotted this place across the street. We were pleasantly surprised! The service was a little slow, but it was worth the wait. Our food was fresh and delicious. I had the pineapple fajita special and loved it! Please eat here if you're ever in Iuka!

See all

Yum, delicious and very personable service. Food was so…read moregood, delicious ingredients, very fresh and the portions are huge. Cannot wait to go back. I always love finding a new place that is "on point"! This one is great

We were really looking forward to some good southeastern mexican food. We didnt get it the $4…read morecheese dip was so runny from them trying to make it stretch further that it was so thin it ran off the chips. We've eating cheese dip nationwide & it was the runniest & most bland flavor ive had. But I know they added for too much liquid to make it stretch too far which is why it was flavorless & runny. Ok, got over it. But the server was not good at all. She "wrote down" our food order. 3 tables that arrived 10-30 minutes after us were receiving food while we still sat there with no food. She made eye contact with me when she was delivering a family of 4 or 5's food while we continued to sit there. Then I saw her run to the register, grab our paper order, and take it to the kitchen. I ALREADY knew when the 2nd tables food came out that she'd forgotten to give the kitchen our order. After dropping our food order off to the kitchen 30 minutes after we places it, she came back out and told us she didnt know what happened to the tickets in the kitchen but the kitchen must have cooked them in the wrong order, which was a total lie. we were 3rd table in after open and other 2 tables already had food on their table before we ordered. Yet those 2 tables left plus another that got there 10 minutes after us left before we even recieved our food. It didnt end there. Our food was nice & hot but she got my order wrong I ate part of it but not the part she got wrong. So not only did she forget to put our order in, she then lied about it and didnt even give me the correct order. She asked chicken or beef when I ordered. I only ever get chicken eating mexican but she wrote down beef. So I didnt eat it. I didnt say anything cause by this time, we'd already been sitting there 45 minutes & was in that kind of mood by then. They didnt offer to make it right by offering any type of discount, either, knowing they messed up. Theres too many mexican options to choose from to eat here. I'm all for giving 2nd chances when people do the right thing but this was a bad experience & no offer to correct their mistake from them. No worries, we will spend our money elsewhere.
