    10 out of 10 for service, our waiter was very nice and keep checking on us. Food was ok. I found 2 hears in my salad Usually I would call manager and so on, but I guess because of very good waiter I didn't do anything. I don't think I'll be back here 6 out of 10

    My family and I have a good first experience at this location in Flowood. I hope they do well here because we have always like eating at El Som. The food is good, staff is great - but it's much like any other TEXMEX. Certainly nothing bad, just nothing new to put it over the top TEXMEX. We will definitely be back.

    If I lived here I'd never visit this place. Food was bland and lukewarm except the rice and beans. Ordered 2 margaritas because I had to return the first. Drinks and cups were warm, no salt or sugar around the rim, zero garnish. Subpar experience and I'm being lenient. Good luck!

    A great birthday on the patio.

    Great place to enjoy a lunch and dinner during this Covid pandemic! Chips and salsa are good. Chilli relono and pablano are both good. Guacamole salad is good.

    So we sit down and the server comes to us and asked us "drink". He seems pushy like we ate irritating him. Mind you there are only two of us myself and my friend. And this was her first time at the restaurant. I've been before but my server spoke English and there was not problem. This guy seemed to speak little English and was not friendly. So we managed to get our drink and food orders by pointing to what we wanted. Which was weird because he didn't seem to understand our questions in English but was able to read exactly what we wanted in English. Anyway he brought us our drinks smiled and rushed off. Then he brought us salsa slammed it on the table and rushed off again. We of course in our own conversation just shouted thank you as her was already at another table smiling and addressing them. In the middle of drinking or margaritas my friend poured up the salsa and we began to eat. Literally 5 bites in she pulls up a strand of straight long hair! I instantly started to fight back vomit. No way it was neither of ours for one mine is extremely short and hers is extremely course (I get sea sick watching it). So we flag our waiter. Asking for a manager he kept saying "no no manager I don't understand!" It wasn't until my friend raised her voice and told him he needed to find someone other than him that he stomped off with attitude. I really should've just threw the F up here. So this nice dude comes. Speaking perfect English. He apologized (which threw me again because if our original waiter claim to not understand how did he go back to tell the dude what happen) any way he stated he could give us thirty percent off our drinks but we still had to pay. Lol. Funny because we literally did not drink one ounce of the drink. Maybe just Licked the salt. (Don't worry I have pictures). So by now fighting vomit and pissed off because the young man whom portrayed to be the manager stated the GM pretty much told us to fuck ourselves the salsa is free so why are we complaining about a hair (I swear I wished I had that on video with him saying all this shit) and forced us to pay for drinks we didn't drink (I have videos) and pretty much said we didn't have to come back! Deadass! When my friend said she wasn't coming back he literally said "ok good!" I should call the health department on them.

    Order out for lunch today and it was delicious!! Chips were thin and crisp and quac was just right. My Tacos el Carbon were as good as any I've had and the salsa was perfect. I'll certainly order out from here again.

    Pasty guac that tasted like chemicals and out of a can

    See all
