I can officially say after two visits, this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants ever!…read moreThey have a thinner tortilla chip (which is the style I prefer), and when they give you salsa they simply leave a bottle and an empty bowl for each person at the table. No more sharing/rationing your salsa, as here you get as much as you want in your own bowl. During my first visit, I believe I ordered dish #65, which was chicken with fajita veggies and mushrooms topped with cheese and served with rice, beans, and a salad. While I skipped the rice (not my thing), I devoured everything else on that plate. The veggies were fresh, the chicken well seasoned, the cheese was tasty, and the beans were very good. It was one of the best meals I had had from a Mexican restaurant in a long time. The second visit I ordered three street tacos, one carnitas, one al pastor, and one chicken. The chicken and carnitas were good, but the al pastor was to die for. So juicy, fresh, and hearty, next time I will be getting three of those. The corn tortillas you could tell were also homemade and it was just a great meal. Both visits I got margaritas, which for me were very good and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend coming here for good food and drinks with your group. The service is great, the prices are good, and the experience is the best!

I am disabled once again. If this store doesn't have the ingredients please just close down. This…read moresalad has gotten smaller and lighter as time passes. This I truly declare is my last visit. By no means is this a good value. I ordered cucumbers and bacon added and it barely weighed 6 ounces. When I picked up the bag I had to stop and lift the lid to see if there was anything in there. A ton of lettuce and meat chopped so small you couldn't tell what it was. I'm going to get some wings or something to help me complete this meal. Please just stop!!!! The workers were talking to each other about personal stuff paying little attention to the order. I'm done. Never again!

Overall 3.5 Stars for food, service and ambiance…read more Food: 3.5 stars For dinner we stopped at this local Mexican restaurant. It isn't your local typical Mexican food where the food is covered in queso or the ground beef taste "bland". Most of the foods were regional type dishes but you will find your favorites such as fajitas, tacos and burritos. We ordered the Loco Rice - grilled chicken, rice, covered in queso a grilled onions and jalapeños. The other two dishes were the Carne Asada, grilled flank steak, cooked frijoles (beans) / rice, grilled leeks and jalapeño and Grilled Cameron's (shrimp) w rice, avacados and diced tomatoes. All were 3.5 stars. Nothing stood out to be outstanding but could have been with a little bit more acidity (lime / lemon) or cumin / cayenne seasoning. The food were cooked well but it just missed "something". The outstanding part of our meal was the salsa. It was seasoned well and it wasn't your water-down tomato based salsa with a hint of chopped onions or cilantro and lime. Service was a little bit better than average and server was good but we had to ask a couple of times for certain items. And it wasn't too busy at the time. The restaurant has a bar with multiple tables and booths and can get pretty loud during "happy hour" or dinner time. It can be fun with a lot of people or hanging at the bar. With specialized drinks, the bar tender is happy to make it for you. Though we didn't get any speciality drinks. We will come again to try other meal options and review once again. I think the restaurant can get a higher review because they have different regional meal options.

The service was wonderful: friendly, fast, and somehow always appearing right when you're about to…read moreask for something. The food was good and definitely did its job (no one left hungry or grumpy). Now, let's talk about the salsa. It wasn't bad... but it felt like it was holding back, like it had big dreams of greatness and just needed a little more spice to reach its full potential. The place is very small but the ambiance is very inviting.

El Patron is located in a small strip plaza,so parking was not an issue. Walking in, the place had…read morea pleasant and bright ambiance. I was greeted enthusiastically by a gentlemen and brought to a table. My other server was pretty much indifferent. He never came to check on me and even bringing me my entree, just dropped it off and never asked me if I needed anything or anything. I went with the chile Verde. It was okay. Good, but nothing great. Maybe it was an off night being a Sunday evening and my server was just not feeling it tonight. This is my second time in Columbus, Mississippi for business and the second Mexican restaurant I ate at in the area. The other restaurant was a better choice, but I am still glad that I came here (despite the service being poor). I guess overall I will give it three stars.

Planned a surprise Birthday lunch for my 91 year old stepmother. Had about 11 people there…read more As you can imagine it was a much older crowd. Servers were so kind and patient with our tables it was quite impressive. All plates came out at the same time which was quite impressive. Every one said their dishes were tasty, and several had enough left over to ask for takeout boxes, which I'm sure they will make another meal of. I was surprised when I got the bill and ask the server if she had missed something. I was expecting a much larger bill. Service was far and above, server told me tip had already been added. I doubled the tip and they shared a of the delicious birthday cake with us. I'll be going back to the Grill.

My seafood boil was delicious. The gumbo was watered down and the raw oysters were okay. My service…read morehowever, was horrible. I came in with a party of 12. The server (who we found out at the end was new) was messing up immediately just delivering drinks. Then when it was time to receive our food, several people from our party was left waiting for their food because the order was put in wrong... Then bill time came. Everyone gave their payment methods. I waited until she had less transactions to make (if you know about being charged for incorrect amounts) and she still messed up. I gave her my card and my bill. She ran my card, and returned it. I signed it and left the table because I knew gratuity was already included. Minutes later, I'm being threatened with the POLICE being called because the server didn't charge me the full price for my meal and started accusing me of trying to skip out on my bill. All in front of other patrons. It was humiliating. I paid the remainder (although not legally required to by law) because it was a mistake on her part, not mine (she had my card for 10 minutes). No accountability was taken on the restaurants part and I will never eat there again. I was so disappointed after enjoying my meal.

I saw the kids quesadilla with queso dip on top which they absolutely loved.

We went back tonight and we were very pleased. The service was great, the food was back to what we had expected, I'm not sure if they had a bad night the last time we visited or if it was a major problem. I do know that they seem to have turned the ship around and I am pleased to say, I will recommend the restaurant and we will be back.

Food tastes mediocre no different from little Dooyes or anywhere else--nothing special, just easy. If you call before the kitchen closes, they won't make your order-- crazy. What's the point of having a kitchen closing time that's 1 hours before normal closing if you stop taking orders before that closing time? Should the kitchen closing be 20 minutes rosier maybe? How about 1 hour earlier? Again, either bad management or lazy staff not sure which one. If the establishment is too poorly run to take an order before kitchen closes, imagine what the back of house looks like... Imagine the staff cleanliness while cooking... Wont be ordering from here anymore. Try Little Dooeys. It's like 2 minutes down the road, never had an issue with them.
