Ordered a simple steak and cheese only quesadilla and of course everything on it. They took it back and what they brought out was a quesadilla with pork. Not even steak. We also ordered a fajita for two and were charged for the tres amigos. That comes with shrimp. I finally asked for the manager and the waitress comes back and said she took off 1.00 and 1/2 for the quesadilla. She couldn't even come out and deal with it herself. What a craphole. read more

Had a pretty good experience here. Most of the food hit the spot. The margarita I had was amazing. The service was decent, though formal instead of friendly, and the atmosphere was laidback. Anyway, the misses came with the popcorn shrimp that wasn't appealing at all. Too greasy in my opinion. Then my date's virgin margarita wasn't sweet at all. They touched it up for her, though. Still, my entree was so delicious and filling. I most certainly will return to see what I can try next. And it's not overpriced like so many of these other establishments. read more

Food quality has been steadily going dow. Order of Shrimp Tacos was terribly prepared and over cooked. Tough to chew. Salsa was overly salty as if age hidden by salt preservation. I will not go back. read more

Mesquite - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Stopped here for an early lunch. Service was great and food was okay. I would say this is more of a Tex mex over mex restaurant though, which was disappointing. I ordered the street tacos which were okay but they didn't have any cojita cheese and the tortillas weren't fresh. Besides that good experience read more

Found this place using Yelp while traveling back to Atlanta. It sits off an access road to 75 in McDonough. Traffic was really heavy so figured taking a pit stop made sense. It seemed like a fairly normal Mexican place when I walked in. Nothing stood out to me. I headed to the bar to grab some food. The bartender was nice, although she mostly spoke Spanish to her co-workers coming up to the bar. I started off with a medium sized margarita and they brought chips and salsa over. The margarita was just ok (semi strong, lacking on flavor) and the salsa was surprisingly bland. No kick, no flavor. Big bummer. I ordered the street tacos with fish and asked for no charro beans (only eating fish currently). It came out as requested except they did include the charro beans. The tacos were good, no complaints there and the salsa verde was a tad spicier than my salsa. Overall, it was an ok stop. If you're looking for average, this place will fit your need there. Also, be careful walking to the front from the bar, big step down that seemed like two steps should be there. read more

I had an amazing time at Mesquite last weekend. Our server Alejandro was great and the good was well priced and full of flavor. Alejandro was quick, friendly, and did a good job dealing with our large group full of picky eaters. The margarita was great and well priced. Everything we good and they give you a lot of food. I would definitely recommend others to stop by. read more

Good food and service. The brisket tacos were a bit greasy which is why I knocked them one star. Everything else including the dessert was good. We will definitely go back the next in the area and staying at the best Western plus next-door. read more

I had been accused of taking my alcohol beverage to my car in a to go cup and the manager (her name is Megan) violated me and opened my car door and it another car she slammed my door open and asked to check my drink the whole time I had coke. Very unprofessional and damaged my car door. Also heard her gossiping to her employees about the other employees. Girls are supposed to support girls so disgusting. read more

Stopped here while traveling and wow. Very authentic, fresh, and delicious. Clean and a great atmosphere. Would stop here again and would definitely recommend! read more

The food and service was great. We rode in on our motorcycles from Atlanta looking for a great place to eat. We will be returning.

It's my birthday and since I had to vote, get my emissions, renew the registration on my cars, renew my license, and then get me something to eat I stopped by Mesquite Bar & Grill and I was very pleased. My server was very accommodating and courteous. My food was mostly delicious. I tend to like my black beans more in the refried side but they were still good. My rice was cold but for the most part I was pleased. I would come back. read more

Man. I don't even know where to start. Management has changed. I spoke with him on the phone this afternoon after my experience. No apology was given, just a bunch of irrational explanations of the reasons why they charge for to go items. I called in an order for myself and a coworker. When I arrived the food was already packaged and on the counter already. I was 5 minutes early so I thought this either a good thing or a bad thing. When I went to hand the woman my card to pay I also asked for one more salsa. She said it would be extra. "Why? I asked. It's free if I stay and dine. Then she proceeds to tell me that if I separate my orders, meaning swipe my card twice, then she can give me an extra salsa. Not only cannot I not even conceive to understand the correlation between the two I explained to her that, that it only hurts them because they pay credit card service fees to even be able to accept the payments. She mumbled some more about it and I said forget it just swipe my card as one order. When I get back to the office, which is only 5 minutes away we open our boxes and the food is ice cold and stiff. Like it's been sitting out and prepared for over well over 30-35 minutes. I couldn't help but call and ask to speak to the manager. He said not only will they charge for to go salsa with a to go order but now (hence under new management) they will charge you if you have dined in the building!!!! I said so, if I just ate a full meal at a table, paid and am leaving but I stop and ask for a salsa or a to go cup will you bring me a new check for .25 for that too? YES. He says. Unbelievable. There are a million Mexican Restaurants to choose over this one. I will not be returning here ever again. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE NASTY TERRIBLE Got my food wrong it was cold seem like it had been sitting out all night.. they get no stars read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in McDonough! Great service: always greeted at the door, chips & salsa served right away as we're seated. Food always arrives quickly. Good food: Lots of options, good portions, super yummy! Great price: Go for their lunch specials, M-F until 2pm. You can get a full meal for about $6!! You can't beat that! *Tip: Try the molcajete!!! It's a large stone bowl filled with beef, pork, shrimp, chorizo, and lots of cheese! It's enough for 2 people. Enjoy!! read more

I was sent to the bar to place a to go order and waited 10 minutes until I got up and got someone help me . Not helpful at all. Very disappointing especially since the food is very good read more

CHECK YOUR BILL!!! I have frequent this restaurant for about a year now. The food is very good. There were 2 of us there for dinner and service and food was very good. When the bill came, I noticed the waitress has already calculated her tip on the receipt and has added to the bill. Not sure if she put the tip down since I am not Caucasian and thought I wouldn't tip her. I worked as a waiter before and do not think this is appropriate since there's only 2 of us and not a party of 6 or more. I will think twice before I go back. read more

-Argumentative wait staff- waiter would not let us order chicken and steak on our nachos because the menu has it listed as chicken OR steak. He offered to pay extra and he said we could order the nachos that came with chicken, steak, and shrimp. We told him we were allergic to shrimp but would pay for that one if we could just get extra chicken or steak in place of the shrimp. He literally laughed at us and said that's not possible. So we just got the steak nachos which were soggy and gross. -very weak margaritas: I had two house margaritas that were $10.99 each. They were loaded down with ice and I could not taste any tequila. I was basically paying for watered down drink mix -rat in outdoor dining area: I saw a rat run by our table and disappear into a hole in the wall. It grossed me out but there are plenty of cheap motels next door so I figured it just came from there. However, the more I thought about it after I got home, I remembered that the outdoor seating area is walled off and there's no way to get in and out without entering the restaurant. So that rat had to come from inside. So I highly recommend you stay away from this place. The atmosphere is depressing, drinks are watered down/overpriced, wait staff is lazy and rude, and there are rats. read more

Disappointed this time. I usually think this place is ok for Mexican food in a he South. I wasn't terribly hungry so I got just a bowl of corn chowder. An awfully small portion for 6.99. It was too sweet also. read more

went in on a whim with the wife Always had super food and super service. Not the case on this occasion. Got a combo plate that included a chile relleno as did the wife. Mine was half the size of hers and looked like someone had chewed it already. I questioned it and was told, in not very nice terms that they are premade and I was stuck with it I was offered a substitute for it which I declined I wanted the rellenos I am used to getting. read more

The only thing good was the margarita and it seemed a little on the sweet side. May give it another try maybe not, I've had better

I have had good and bad experiences here. My daughter requested that we eat here for her birthday, and I was reluctant, as the last time we went I got sick, but obliged and steered clear of the seafood. Service was decent, and she received a birthday shout out which she loved. New menu, so added pics for that. read more

Came here to celebrate my mother's birthday. We had a party of 8 people including my infant. The location of the table we were seated at was HORRIBLE. The staff had to squeeze by us and not only that we were right near the restroom and kitchen. I ordered the baked fish tacos and they had no flavor, very bland. I won't be back. read more

I give this place a 5 star the food was excellent and fresh it was delivery to our table in a timely manner I was truly satisfied and when it comes to restaurants It's very had for me to say that but this one was very accommodating to my 2 kids also. read more

My sisters and I tried to go here tonight for dinner and ended up walking out for the first time in our lives. The person who brought us our chips barely spoke to us and then no one came to our table for almost 20 minutes, even though there were very few other diners, so we left. Extremely disappointing. read more

Next door to the hotel we stumbled upon after driving since VERY early morning. The staff was very friendly and the food was extremely good . I had the supreme anchors and hubby had veggie burrito. Both were very good and the chips and salsa- yum! Hubby's beer was "all right" (he doesn't care for Mexican beers), but my margarita was just the thing after a long day on the road. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Attended this place last night for the first time, always would past by an see cars in the parking lot so we decided to try it out. Wish we would've kept riding very disappointed. What a waste of money smh the food arrive quickly the drinks were weak my friend had to send there drink back b cause they brought out the wrong thing An when we clearly stated what they wanted, the food was bland as hell not like other rock Mexican establishments I've been too the food was in smaller portion as well. All around I give this place one star because the food sucks we had a to go box an just ended up leaving it because we didn't it eat then so we weren't gonna eat it later. My advice it's other Mexicans restaurants in the area try those out first don't waste your money. read more

Will not be back. Ordered the mesquite dip and got cheese dip with loads of hair instead... the waiter was nice not sure what his name was. My grandpa wanted the manger cause you know.. it looked like a barber shop in my food, but he never showed up, so we just paid & left. The waiter took one of my meals off cause of the issue. Better than nothing. I don't recommend this location. Not to mention I got sick for like 2 or 3 days after visiting here. read more

Very long wait over 2 hours after being promised an hour. Albeit was on Cinco De Mayo. Two tables remained at their tables for over an hour after the checks had been cleared due to them having dance parties with inappropriate dancing in front of children. When asked, the manager simply shrugged and went to the back not to be seen again. Management should prevent these kinds of disruptions. Then the server informed us that there were no chips available. read more

I was flabbergasted when i seen one of my husband's old students serving alcohol at the age of 16! She was in 8th grade only 3 years ago! Some pretty blonde girl with the name Makenzie or Kenzie like that. She was sweet but she also shouldn't be serving so young! read more

Stopped on the way to Florida from Indiana! The food here was excellent! Staff was amazing! My daughter left her invisiline in her napkin and we left got to the parking lot and realized! The staff put on gloves and immediately started going through garbage! I grabbed gloves and together we dug, until another waitress found them in another bin! I couldn't be more thankful to them. They could Have said "oh well" but the waitress was kind and understanding and went over the top! The Nichols family thanks you all and we will be back when we go through again! read more

We really enjoyed mesquite until we took our two pups. We took them out to the patio. Well mesquite has no signs saying no dogs allowed. Well lesson learned. The manager sent one of his employees out to say that the manager will only all our dogs on the patio if they have service dog papers. First off why would the manager not come out and tell us himself. Secondly we've never been kicked off a patio for having our dogs w us before. We will not be going back ever again. read more

I have frequented this restaurant a number of times. Up until a couple of months ago we were going weekly. In fact, it is our restaurant of choice for good Mexican food. However, after a near death experience on Monday (10/30) I WILL NOT BE RETURNING!! I specifically asked the bartender (Rico Suave' as he said) who was our waiter to ensure that my chicken quesadilla did not come in contact with ANY shellfish due to my severe allergy. After ONLY two small bites of my food, I became very lightheaded feeling like I wanted to pass out and shortly after struggling to breathe. Thankfully before my friends walked me outside for air they were able to retrieve my epipen from my purse and ultimately had to administer it because my breaths became shorter and shorter. My fingers began to cramp up and I had no use of them. My face and legs became tingly and numb. I had to be helped onto the stretcher once the paramedics arrived. I have never had a stroke but those symptoms were liken unto what I had read about them. There is no other explanation for that allergic reaction than the fact that either the waiter did not effectively convey the message to the cook or the cook simply did not oblige. Either way I cannot in any way entrust my well being to this restaurant ever again. Unfortunately I was rushed to Piedmont Henry and was treated with IV, Benadryl, and high doses of steroids before being released. I called the restaurant today on 11/1 and asked for the store manager. Jose' came to the phone. I explained to him what had happened on Monday because as the store manager he had not been made aware that a customer was taken away by ambulance from HIS STORE! Really?!?! I told him that there should be some accountability because I could have died. He then became very defensive and I said "first of all I am not going to tolerate the attitude because I nearly died in YOUR restaurant.; However, I do wish to hear back from someone regarding this?" I asked if I needed to call someone else and he had the audacity to say that maybe I needed to. Okay now I am pissed and thus the reason this review will be posted on EVERY SITE KNOWN TO MAN!! Jose finally took my number and I said that I am expecting to hear back from him or his manager. It is really sad that 1) you can't go out for a decent meal and trust that your food will be prepared according to your preference and 2) management sucks so bad that they really don't give a darn. I certainly won't be returning there and I will do all I can within my power to ensure that it doesn't happen to someone else. Food allergies and serious and can certainly be deadly. I am thankful for my friends that were with me and their quick response as well as the first responders. I have never experienced a reaction like that and I certainly don't want to EVER again! read more
