My experience might vary incredibly compared to yours as I was one of the first customers at lunch time when they started taking orders. I waited a little over two hours for my food but I have to say it was worth it on my part. The kitchen and business is operated out of a small covered trailer and a fenced in area where food is refrigerated and/or prepared to be taken into the kitchen. The parking is spacious in a gravel lot that covers the expanse of the property. Picnic tables are present around the business and are covered by awnings to provide shade. There is a fire pit and lawn chairs surrounding it as well. For the children, there is a new, wooden play set with slides and swings, a very large "Connect-Four" game, and wooden blocks for "Jenga". As for the food, it was some of the best Mexican/Tex-Mex food to ever come out of a road-side eatery in poor Mississippi. The Birria was so flavorful and tender, it took me back to South-Central Texas. Abuela would be proud of the ladies cooking over the stoves in this tiny trailer. Besides the Birria, street tacos, and legitimately fresh Guacamole, what caught and held my attention was the salsa served by the chips. This is real, handmade salsa. This is fresh tomato, onion, and cilantro. I will choose this establishment over any other in the area. Let's talk about opening day and the service. This is a brand new establishment, in every sense of the phrase. They were backed up with orders that piled in from people that were hungry to try out something new and different in a part of the USA that hardly, if ever, changes. I managed to get my families' order in before they started turning people away temporarily until they could put a dent in the orders. Yes, I waited over two hours. Not many people would, I can verify that statement. But it was so worth it. To their credit, the owner and his team gave us free chips, salsa, queso, and drinks to make it up to us. I would have continued happily sitting in the breezy, shade sans free goodies for this meal. I recommend trying this spot out. Perhaps by the time you go, they'll have come into their own and have a more stream-lined way of getting food out the window. Be patient, and kind with them. Go support a local business worth your time.

Went here for a team dinner while in MS for work…read more It's a small Mexican/Honduran restaurant with colorful decor, pretty good parking, and decent hours. The service was ok, and the staff were friendly, but it was definitely not amazing and was quite slow. I had to ask 3 different people to bring me the sour cream that I ordered as well as lemons, and the tomatillo sauce that was given (it's in refillable bottles) was empty so I had to ask for another after they walked away. Now to the food. I got the supreme enchiladas order which comes with 1 chicken, 1 beef, 1 cheese, and 1 bean enchilada with lettuce, guacamole, tomatoes, and cheese on top. The enchiladas were small, and the ingredients fresh, but the flavor was extremely bland, which was surprising for a Mexican restaurant. I mean, I could have had a more flavorful meal at Taco Bell. I ordered rice and refried beans on the side, and while the rice was decent, but nothing to write home about, the beans tasted metallic or artificial like it had been just scooped out of a can; it was not edible. TLDR: I'm giving 2 stars because the people were friendly and were trying hard, and the prices were really cheap (like $11 for my meal without the extras) but the food is just bland, even if the ingredients are fresh.
