The best Mexican restaurant that I've been to.

Food and service is always great when I come here

Great food and service.

Waited over an hour for our food, not once did the manager come over. Granted, they were very busy but food is subpar, chicken tasted low quality, chimichanga had so much grease in it that made my stomach upset. The only thing worth going for is the atmosphere and drinks. Too many Mexican restaurants that blow this place out of the water with food alone. Small towns love this type of place, don't waste your time.

I absolutely hate leaving bad reviews, but this needs to be said… I ordered food from the Deridder location this evening, and when I arrived I wasn’t greeted… The girl that was running the register was on the phone I’m assuming taking an order, but she was on there for a while…. A nice gentleman came up, and was trying to help me, and she waved him on, and continued on the phone…. That aggravated me, but I held my tongue she finally got off the phone, and rang me up…. I could see two orders behind her on the counter I was assuming she checked the names on the bags, but apparently not as she sat them back down, and told me my order would be out shortly… Mind you I could see the bags the entire time I was sitting there… I continued sitting there a good fourty minutes while another lady, and child had came in, and paid for their food, and waited about five minutes until their food came, and she gave it to them, and started helping other people…. I guess it finally dawned on her that I was still sitting there waiting for my food so she acted like she was checking the names on the bags again, and handed me the bag that had been sitting behind her the ENTIRE time… I asked her my order was sitting there all this time? She got an attitude, and told me what time I ordered it which I already knew what time I ordered, and was told by her over the phone that it would be about twenty or twenty five minutes… I ordered at 4:33, and got there right at five to pick it up…. I didn’t get out of there until 5:40…. She offered no apology, and double down that my food wasn’t sitting there the entire time when it definitely was…. I understand staff have a lot to deal with, and it can get busy, and overwhelming, but don’t wave off help , and get an attitude when you screw up… I wanted to say some choice words, but I let my facial expressions speak for itself, and I didn’t want to cause a scene so I just left with my food…. By the time I got to work with our food as you can imagine it was cold, and soggy and nasty… The Chicken was way too tough, and rubbery, the nachos were soggy cold, and reminded me of the can dog food we fed our pups when they were babies, and don’t get me started on the “chunky” avocado salad I ordered… I’ll just say It had started turning brown, and looked like something that came out of a newborn’s diaper 🤢… if I could give negative stars I would…. Over sixty dollars worth of food down the toilet… I definitely do not recommend this place whatsoever… Save your money, and order somewhere else… Will never return, and will make sure to let everyone else know that it is an absolute waste going there period… I was going to call, and complain, but after reading other reviews I’m not even going to waste my breath because I know nothing will be done about it anyway…. Rant over… Save your money!!!

Very friendly staff. Great drinks. Excellent food! We had a large amount of people, I believe 11 of us, and the waitress did an outstanding job.

Seems like the food price is high based on what you get

Layla Olguin

Wish I could give zero stars, my food tasted weird like it had been sitting for a couple days. Definitely not fresh and definitely will be returning.

Sheila Whisnant

Kinda pricey for what you get. Server was amazing . Place was very clean .

Blake Henderson

my dad and i sat down after a long day of work and we were greeted very nicely the service was good but the food wasn’t we ordered a fajita plate with beef chicken and shrimp and the food wasn’t fresh as if it was microwaved and the shrimp was terrible like who serves “grilled” butterflied shrimp with the shell still on? charro beans were salty and rice was bland needless to say it wasn’t worth $100

Food is very very bland, the most flavorless food anyone in our group has ever had. Never had chip or salsa refill. Only had a drink refill after we flagged down a manager, first and last visit.

Best margaritas in DeRidder!

Christopher Nunez

Same as other mexican restaurants

Food was subpar. Nearly cold and not authentic at all.

Demarcus Turner

The food was good and the waitress did an awesome job. The restaurant is nice and clean. It's worth going there
