Y'all, this beautiful little place is just perfect. Margaritas on point. Fried mushrooms--oh my word--and don't be trepidatious of the wasabi sauce, it is divine. Both of our entrees came with side salads, the house balsamic dressing is amazing and the blue cheese is definitely homemade. So good! Mercedes' eggplant is fabulous, doesn't matter what it comes with, and the Travis creole hamburger steak--y'all, I don't order hamburger steak anywhere, but this is just oooooo!!! I've been here several times and never been disappointed. Mercedes is Magic read more

They cancelled trivia and told us they were gonna get it back and lied. Trivia was so fun too.

Had a wonderful dinner and drinks tonight. Service was excellent. Had the steak special 16oz ribeye which was large enough to split. The blue cheese chips for appetizer were delicious. Had some fabulous drinks also. Would definitely go back read more

Very surprised at how good this place is. New Orleans based cuisine done very well. 100% recommendation. read more

La Mariposa - Shrimp and Corn Bisque - Burgers Near Me - Summit, Mississippi

This restaurant also has a food truck called the La Mariposa Mercedes Cafe. It was parked by the RR tracks where food trucks normally park in downtown Summit. I was antiquing with the wife and got a bit hungry, after wandering around I came across this food truck. I got the beef tacos which were reasonably priced and very delicious. The owner of the restaurant was actually there, such a nice lady, and she told me about her restaurant in Magnolia. read more

Fried Green Tomato Southern burger (no bun) with Colombian potatoes. It was absolutely divine, and I can't wait to order from here again! Fried Green Tomato Southern burger (no bun) *9 out of 10 (only because I would've like the tomato sliced thinner) read more

The chicken parm was recommended and did not disappoint. The atmosphere was casual and service on point.

I had the best roast beef po-boy in my life at lunch. The service was excellent. I like the new restaurant.

Tried this place based on Yelp reviews. And it was fantastic! The roast beef po-boy was outstanding. It was old fashioned crockpot roast beef (not that sliced deli junk people try to pass off) it has great flavor, plenty of gravy and my husband was scraping the plate to get every last bite in! This place has two menus. One Mexican, one American. I had the chicken quesadilla. It was really good! My husband and I both agreed the roast beef was better tho! Service was prompt and friendly. Prices were good too. Kid friendly- they stopped and talked to our children ( 1&3yrs old) almost every time they came by our table. We will be coming back again. P.s. we are camping at the nearby Paradise Ranch RV Resort. read more

La Mariposa - Roast beef po-boy - Burgers Near Me - Summit, Mississippi

See all

Food tasted excellent, but price for a 6" Po-Boy was very high. I wouldn't mind going try other food that is on the menu.

Service was great and the sweet tea very good. Super friendly too. I had the meatloaf lunch special and it wso tough it was impossible to eat. The salad and side was really good though. I mentioned it to my waitress but it was like, "oh well". read more

It is a five plus. A wonderful lunch. Eggplant covered in a New Orleans sauce with two poached eggs and home fries. Each bite was special. The owner came to check on me and was happy that I enjoyed it so much. Each day the.menu changes. The service by staff was first class. A place to return to again and again. read more

Sweet lil family restaurant in magnolia, ms. The food was EXCELLENT! We had the homemade chips with blue cheese sauce on top for appetizer. For dinner, the fried eggplant with Orleans sauce and Martha's Shrimp Pasta! Everything was excellent. DEVINE! The HOMEMADE blueberry cheesecake was the best i have ever had!! Excellent service.

Bread pudding was excellent!! Really enjoyed Sweet tea tasted like it came from a water hose read more

Not impressed with anything I've tried on the menu. Not a fan of ambiance either. They even ask for you to put a quarter in a jar to use the restroom because they have water/plumbing issues. read more

Decided to try this place based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! The name is a little misleading because it is mostly New Orleans cuisine and burgers. They did have a quesadilla special with a cup of shrimp and corn bisque but that was as close to Mexican as I saw. The bisque was one of the best I've had! We had the homemade fries as an appetizer and they were to die for. My husband had a burger and he said it was cooked to perfection and the bun was lightly toasted which kept it from falling apart. My salad was fresh and colorful with a wonderful blend of flavors. Please give this place a try so it doesn't disappear as so many small backroad places do! read more

This unique little place has some delicious food! The owner will make you feel like you belong there, while entertaining you with that great personality! read more

We went here based on reviews and have to say it did not live up to the hype. We ordered fajitas and it was literally a clump of onions, peppers and some chicken on a plate . The plate wasn't even hot and you could tell the fajitas had been sitting for awhile. We won't be going back . read more

food was terriffic, atmosphere is excellent. music would be nice and it would be good if the waiters would stop hitting on my boyfriend.

NOLA po boy was delicious! Also enjoyed the freash side salad and the Peruvian(I think) potatoes

La Mariposa is a hidden gem in Magnolia, MS. The food and atmosphere is awesome. The owner Mercedes is always super nice and makes me and my family feel welcome. Try the Nola poboy. Be prepared to be amazed!!! read more

La Mariposa - This is the Nola poboy. Fried shrimp, topped with Mercedes signature crawfish sauce served on New Orleans style French bread: - Burgers Near Me - Summit, Mississippi

So I've only been once, but want to say that we were really happy with both the service and the food. Very friendly, hometown atmosphere that makes us look forward to becoming regulars. The only improvement I can suggest is that the servers offer all menus. We were only given a sandwich menu but overheard later that others were available. The poboys and onion rings were awesome, but not being big bread eaters, we would definitely have chosen differently had we known that other items were available. I can't wait to go again! read more

Save some money and just buy frozen burritos instead because that's literally what they taste like at this place. Salsa was like spicy tomato juice. The atmosphere is horrible. Their nachos were a complete joke. Just don't waste your money here. read more

Great restaurant in historic downtown Magnolia, MS Was surprised that we didn't have to go to McComb, MS to eat a good meal! Friendly service Amazing appetizer--rellenas papas! I had the fried catfish and fried shrimp platter. They made chicken tenders for the kids. Fresh green salad w delicious house dressing. Will definitely return.

Having arrived at my TM retreat a little too early to check in, I asked one of the Sisters at St. Mary of the Pines for a recommendation. Obviously, in this rural part of Mississippi, there weren't many non-chain options. Sister Helen recommended La Mariposa. I ordered a salad and the shrimp and fish special. Forgetting that I was in the south, I didn't think to ask how it was prepared. Fried, of course! So I justified eating it by saying, "I had no choice" - ha! Nice staff and looks like a place the locals hang out. read more

I went to the Anniversary party last night and it was amazing the fireworks the drinks the people the music everything was wonderful from beginning to end they have wonderful employees and the food is made with love and everything is made fresh and my Margarita was off the chain will Definitely be telling friends and family read more

Returning from the Louisiana Gulf Coast on a late fall fishing trip, we decided to "Yelp" the McComb, Mississippi area for a lunch spot on a Sunday morning. One of my fishing companions suggested a chain restaurant, but my other fishing buddy and I immediately over-road this idea. After looking at the options, I suggested La Mariposa, in the historical town of Magnolia, MS. We started off with the fresh cut onion rings, followed by fresh salads, complemented by home made dressings. Then we feasted on the Nola Poboy, and the Roast Beef Poboy. All were delicious! Our host and owner, Mercedes was most entertaining and kind, and we look forward to returning on our next trip through the Magnolia State. read more

Stuck in the middle of nowhere Mississippi, this restaurant is a refreshing taste of something with some flavor. They make mainly American dishes in this Colombian establishment, but everything is tasty and has a little kick to it. The po boys are delish. read more

This is an excellent restaurant... The food, the service and especially the atmosphere make it an excellent location to dine with friends and family. The menu changes periodically and always offers excellent choices... read more

Best food in Pike County, hands down! Never ordered a plate from the menu that my husband or I didn't enjoy. We never have leftovers, even though the portions are generous. The staff is great and the owner is fantastic! Great environment, food & service. I never leave without buying a pint of the owner's homemade salsa. read more

Must try! One of the best local places I have been in years. Southern food made to order!

Absolutely fantastic. I had the Nola Poboy with onion rings. Possibly the best poboy I've ever had and I'm from south Louisiana. Didn't meet the owner and chef, but she walks around and talks to the guests. If you're in the area, or just passing through, it totally worth it read more

Excellent, fresh food prepared with great pride and love. There's something for everyone -- delicious healthy options and plenty of Cajun/southern dishes. There's also a wonderful Mexican night every Thursday! Come in for great food and unforgettable memories. A true community staple. read more

Always great food! The owner is hilarious and kind. Food is fresh and unique. Atmosphere is cozy. Definitely a fun little cafe. Don't miss it :) read more

I was looking for a unique place to eat on the way to a hunting camp. Something besides fast food. Boy, did I find it!!! Great service, friendly owner (Hi Mercedes!!), and most importantly delicious food!! It's so good, we are stopping there on the way home too!! read more

Great fun in Magnolia - varied menu, friendly staff, very personable owner. Prices are reasonable, food is very good, there is plenty of parking in front and it is located in the heart of downtown (great for shopping or walking). Portions are large; however, save room for one of their homemade desserts. This is also the late night place to be in Magnolia, there is a full bar in the restaurant. read more

The food was amazing! BIG taste in a small town. The owner sat down with us, talked with us, and made us feel right at home! I definitely recommend this restaurant and will make the drive to Magnolia whenever I'm in New Orleans just to support this restaurant! read more

Food is amazing: the hostess/owner is extremely entertaining and outgoing. My favorite place to eat/hang out
