Me and the family stopped in here for lunch one day last week after picking our daughters up from school. Rather larger building but kinda in rough shape. Definitely could use some renovations. Upon walking in we were sat right away. Party size was 6 but they didn't have much large tables so we squeezed into a 5 top. The seats and table reminds you of your grandmothers kitchen. Old wooden chairs with worn in cushions that weren't very comfortable After sitting for about 7 min we finally had a waitress come take our water and then bring out the complimentary chips and salsa after another 5 min. The chips and salsa were very different. Very thick crib chips and more or a enchilada sauce and not a salsa. While different it was good and worked Well. My oldest daughter thought it was phenomenal. Another 5-10 min go bye (a common theme here is we had slow and terrible service) and our waitress took our order. Me personally I was torn between getting a chicken quesadilla or the Chori pollo (grilled chicken, chorizo, cheese sauce and rice). I believe I chose wrong. The chori pollo was not good. Very rough chicken over cooked and the chorizo and cheese mutated into a weird crust like. It reminded me of eating terrible homemade pork chops where someone try to get fancy with the breading. Just not very good. The rice on it was solid. My youngest for kids grilled chicken which they barely touched. My wife got a steak burrito and was also not a fan. Said meat didn't taste great and sauce had strange aftertaste. My oldest daughter had complete opposite reaction for her meal. She got the fish tacos and said they were maybe the best fish tacos she has ever had. After finishing our food it took another 20 min or so to get our bill. This place was empty and we spent over an hour time combined on a lunch time frame waiting on our waitress who gave us zero refills. Just terrible and inexcusable service. The place was falling apart and in bad shape and majority of the food was barely edible. The only reason I'm giving a 2 star is my oldest daughter loved her meal. Overall this place needs a lot of work. Okolona is home to a lot of Mexican eateries that fit the authentic hole in the wall feel. This place does not stand out among its competition. I'd personally pass on this place unless you are a fish tacos fan I guess.

I decided to call and the gentleman who answered the phone was so patient and kind, I had quite a few questions and he took his time to explain the menu and find out what I like so that they could accommodate me. I really appreciated that! Now, I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of authentic Mexican food, I've been to Mexico and I've had the "real deal" but unfortunately being from America, most of the Mexican food is Americanized so enchiladas are usually my go to! Unfortunately they don't make them the Tex Mex way but he suggested he could make them for me. Quite pricey and I will give an A for effort but they lacked so much flavor! The chicken was bland and there wasn't any cheese on top, I was really sad because I spent $17 + 20% tip and I wasn't satisfied. But although I wasn't satisfied with the food, the customer service blew me away! He even let me sample some of the drinks they had up front, the fermented pineapple juice was super tasty and not something I'd expect to find there but definitely good. I'd recommend you give them a shot if you're in the area, it's a cute little place with awesome service and the food is authentic(if you like the "real deal") they don't even serve chips and salsa lol only chips and beans he mentioned. I probably won't be back because let's face it, I'm a Tex Mex kind of girl but I'm happy they tried to satisfy my taste buds!

IF YOU ARE ON A DATE ASK FOR PEDRO!!!!…read more I was on a date at this restaurant and when we asked for a check, instead of just asking if we wanted to split the bill, he positioned himself right behind my date and mouthed me the question so we wouldn't have to split the check. This is the first time a server has not only realized that I was on a date, but actively worked with me to make sure it went as smooth as possible. We paid the bill, left, and I made sure I gave bro a 50% tip. I've worked in restaurants for 2 years now and I've never seen a server as amazing as Pedro. If you're reading this Pedro, just know I will forever be grateful for saving me. oh also the food was really good

I had been wanting to go for quite some time to try the Birria because I heard it is so amazing, and it really lived up to the Hype! Oh, did I mention they have the viral soft serve margaritas!?!?! I got the strawberry, it was so pretty, excellent presentation and absolutely delicious! I will say it was more like a dessert to me and I would have preferred to have it after my meal instead if before but that's just me. We got there between 6:30 and 7:00 and it was really busy, luckily our friends got there first and grabbed a table. They had already had a round of drinks while waiting on us but it took a while for anyone to come over to greet us or refill their drinks but again it was busy and everyone was helping everyone. We ended up splitting the birria platter and still had plenty of food to take home which we just ate last night as leftovers and were still absolutely fire!! I think the egg roll and quesadillas were my favorite over the tacos bc I love the melty cheese. I also ordered a small side of queso which was surprisingly a little spicy which I really enjoyed. They even surprised us when my BIL ordered a small margarita and it came out in a fish glass (see photo). It was so unexpected but also so cute at the same time ... it's really the little things like this that bring joy, okay? LOL This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it again.

The flavors were flat, the seasoning was nonexistent, and the dish tasted like it had been sitting out long before it reached my table. Nothing was fresh, nothing was memorable--unless you count how memorable the disappointment was. Then there was the old fashioned. Calling it "bad" feels generous. It was watered down, unbalanced, and somehow both weak and unpleasant at the same time. It didn't resemble an old fashioned so much as it did a random mix of ingredients hoping to be one.
