Overall: 3.75 Stars…read more There are several Mexican restaurants in Starkville and this is the newest one. Open in June 2025, so they will be hitting their one year anniversary. It is near Sprint Mart and Clarion Pointe Hotel on hwy 182. Ambiance: 4 Stars The restaurant used to be a Chinese restaurant and the decor on the outside is subdue. However, once you walk inside the decor is pleasantly bright and displaying their Hispanic culture. Tables are clean and not sticky, and have a chill vibe to it. Pop Latino is playing and is not loud. You can hear conversations with your mates or yourself. LOL Ordering: you order at the front counter. Menu are displayed on the monitors or laminated sheets. Staff: 4 Stars the employees were friendly, pleasant and professional. Our helper enthusiastically made several suggestions and we order two of the items she recommended. After ordering the items and grab our drinks, we sat down in one of the many tables they have. It only took about 10 minutes for our food to arrive and the staff brought two different salas (salsa verde and rojo) that were flavorful and not overly spicy. Authentic food from different regions Food: 3-3.75 stars 1. Child's portion: 3 Stars queso quesadilla with refied beans and rice. - your typical quesadilla. Good for the child. 2. Burrito California - 3.5 Stars. A large carb heavy burrito. Protein was steak (carne asada), loaded with fries, rice and cheese. Pretty dry however the person ordered like it that way. I took a bite and it required salsa and I thought the meat to fries ratio favored the fries. 3. Quesabirra - 3.5 Stars - A flour quesadilla filled with the birria (a slow braised beef) that is shredded. Served with the birria broth to dipped the quesadilla. The queso blanco melted evenly throughout the flour tortilla. The tortilla had a crunchy exterior from the broth and the inside was hot. 4. Birria Tacos - 3.75 Stars - Four corn tortilla tacos filled with the birria beef, shredded cheese, cilantro, and fresh onions. Served w the birria broth. The was delicious and flavorful from the juicy beef. However, it required some lime, for acidity, to cut some of the fatty beefy flavor. Wonderful tacos. 5. Birria Ramen - 3.5 Stars a fusion of Latino and Asian dishes ( yummy birria with broth, and cilantro) over ramen noodles. Served in a to-go container and a separate bowl to self-pour, the ramen dish was hot (temperature) and beefy. The broth contained the spices of red chilies, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, Mexican oregano, bay leaves, all spice, and a touch of cider vinegar for acidity. Due to nature of slow braised beef, the broth is rich in flavorful and slightly fatty. Adding lime for acidity helps cut the deep beefy flavor. 6. Carne Asada Plate - 3.25 Stars a pan seared ribeye steak served w grilled onions, arroz (rice), and frijoles negros (black beans). The steak was good. However it cooked well done. The marbling kept it tender and juicy. The frijoles were somewhat "blended" but there were whole beans in it. The rice was fine. You are served with corn or flour tortillas, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. I recommend to cut your steak and use the corn tortillas as the base to add your carne asada and sides to become a taco. Add the lime and salsa and you will be satisfied. Note: we don't ordered any drinks but they carry wide variety of sodas, cervezas and aqua frescas. Next time, I will order one of the aquas frescas. They are homemade and I had a taste test on the Jamaica/Hibiscus. It was slightly sweet, fruity and very flavorful. The hibiscus flavor is on the front end of tasting it but not overwhelming. 1st time here and it won't be our last. Enjoyed it!

The taco leaked out a ton of liquid, not grease, a clear liquid which made the taco shell soggy so I just didn't bother with it. The chile relleno was just some green bell peppers with a mound of ground beef on it and melted cheese on top of that. Chile relleno is actually supposed to be a cheese stuffed Anaheim or Poblano pepper battered, fried, and served with a red sauce. Even the lemon on my water glass was gross- it smelled like alcohol and was shriveled and red like the server fished it out of someone's discarded cocktail. My daughter said her meal was gross too and didn't eat it. We didn't ask for a replacement or our money back. We paid, tipped well, and won't be back, ever.

First off, it's counter service, which isn't abnormal but given the size of this spot, It was surprising. It felt like McAllister's or Newk's in that way. They have beer, huge plus. But here's the kicker, it's Cajun/Creole style cuisine, so they have all of the goods. Red beans, Po-Boys, etc. But you can also get chicken tenders, fried catfish, etc. Man, I loved ALL of it! I didn't live in Starkvegas, so it could be a bit of a hike and when Amber was around, we didn't really eat a lot of food like this either. That said, I'd be here at least monthly if I had lived closer.

My wife and I came here for an early dinner as we've heard it can get crowded. We arrived about…read more4:45 and were immediately seated at a window table with a view of the river. Our waitress took our drink order from a short beer list (and Pepsi products), and we ordered an appetizer of Fried Mushrooms. She quickly delivered our Bud Lights and said "let me know if you have any questions and when you're ready to order dinner." That was nice because there was no rush and we would have time to eat some of our appetizer before the entrees arrived. My wife loves catfish, and she ordered two fried filets, a baked potato, and because she's crazy, subbed out her salad bar trip for a side of fried okra - which you are able to do without charge. I opted for the small ribeye with a side of steak fries and the salad bar (one trip). As soon as you order, you can hit the salad bar, which I did. The only lettuce offered was chopped iceberg lettuce, but they did have a pretty good assortment of additional toppings/salads (macaroni, potato, slaw)/cheeses/pickles. There is a giant vat of ranch dressing and a couple bottles of other dressing options. The fried mushrooms came out hot, juicy and with a side of ranch. They were $7.95, but worth it due to the large quantity and taste. My wife's catfish came out pretty lightly breaded with cornmeal and pretty tasty for catfish. Her baked potato was steaming hot and served with a container of butter and tube of sour cream. The fried okra was fried okra (you either like that stuff or you don't). She also got two hush puppies, which were crispy and flavorful but just a bit doughy. My small ribeye came out, and looked great. I ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. Nice grill marks and some charring on the steak, and very juicy. Very well executed. The steak fries were pretty good, and I asked for some Heinz 57 to eat with them (not for the steak). Definitely recommend this place if you're in Columbus, and we'll definitely return when we come back this way.
