Mexican Restaurants near Brandon

“I noticed this restaurant maybe a week or so before it opened, and I had told myself that I'd give it a try!Whether you're simply looking in through the large, open windows that serve as the restaurant's front-facing wall, or you take your first step into the building, you'll very quickly notice that it is very lively inside--maybe a bit too lively for some. At 6PM on a Sunday evening, It was very, very noisy in the building, as the walls seemed to echo and amplify over a hundred dining customers' voices.Despite the crowd, I am quickly seated, asked for my drink, and provided with chips and salsa. The chips are about average, though there were some in my basket that were a bit on the over/undercooked side. The salsa is pretty good, in my opinion, though I've certainly had better.I ordered three Mexican tacos, asada (steak), chorizo, and pastor (grilled pork with pineapple), wrapped in a corn tortilla with onions and Cilantro, served on a narrow, wooden block that was sized for the tacos, though I would have preferred a plate. The Cilantro didn't quite taste fresh, but the taco was very good, especially the Pastor and Chorizo! The green salsa they serve with it is good, and the spicy, darker red sauce had a nice kick.That said, I think the three Mexican tacos are a little overpriced. You can order any one of those tacos a la carte for $4 each, but 3 tacos would be $15. I would have appreciated a fourth taco at that price point, and you could probably get two tacos and some side for nearly $15 and have more food. I think they should adjust the "3 for $X" pricing if they want to sell these more frequently.Customer service was good. You can definitely see in their faces that they're working very hard to serve their customers, so be sure to tip them well!Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind eating in a very noisy environment. Next time, I will order the burrito texaco!“

“We were from out of town in Brandon for an event and our son wanted Mexican food before we headed back home, google showed this to be a well liked place so we found our way. This is what I would consider a hole in the wall place, which I usually always enjoy finding such places. At night it’s not lit at all around the place, and it’s a smaller aged building. Had second thoughts but from what I could see through the windows it looked fine inside so we went in.We were promptly greeted by the waitress and she quickly had our drinks and chips and salsa to our table and ready to take our order.I always choose a dish with a steak product and was disappointed there was no steak options such as steak nachos, steak burritos, etc. She said they had shredded beef, I was confused but ordered a shredded beef burrito as I’m not a fan of ground beef plates and didn’t want chicken this time either.My wife ordered 3 hard beef tacos.My son got a chicken cheese and rice plate from the kids menu, but was portioned as big as an adult serving.The salsa was fresh tasting , chunky like store bought, and almost to much of a heat kick than we were used to back home, but I still say it was good.My burrito arrived and I realized shredded beef is Beef Roast meat. Which was okay and I really did enjoy it, the cheese dip that covered it was great as well.My wife enjoyed here tacos and I ended up eating her last one, it was good, but I felt the ground beef could have been seasoned, which is why I usually just don’t order ground beef plates anywhere, this is my typical experience we go, so I don’t fault the restaurant for this, my wife enjoyed them.My son only ate two bites of his dish, claiming it was too spicy. I think it was more he isn’t a fan of shredded chicken, I ate his left over for lunch the next day and I thought it was quite good myself and didn’t notice much spice.So final thoughts, I enjoyed my meal, the service was on point, $42 for 3 people with what we ordered I felt was a tad high, but nothing is cheap anymore. I don’t expect to return personally for the simple fact there is no fajita steak options and those are my preferred dish. But for those that like local places, shredded or ground meat dishes, it’s worth stopping in, the food is good. ?“

“First time going to this place and was very satisfied with the service and the food was as authentic as Mississippi can get the crunchy tacos appeared hand made and fried to a crisp with potroast textured beef nice and tender the chimichunga nicely fried a little small but this was a lunch special and the tea was huge served in a pitcher for one and to mention the freshly made chips and salsa was to remember because first time I've seen the chips seasoned with chili powder and the salsa had real onion and cilantro seasoned and $26 for two was a bargain“

“I've been going here since my husband and I moved here. The service and the waiters/waitresses were very nice and thorough. The one night that broke me from ever going back, was when a couple was making out beside the register and I had been waiting for almost 2 hours. When I ask for the manager and told him about it he told me in a nice way to wait and I'd get my order. I took it home only to find a large helping of someone's hair in all my food. I went back and showed him and he said I put it in there. Had a big smile in his face to. I managed to contact the woman who owns it and he will no longer be working in their restaurants again. My sister knows the people that own some of these restaurants. I know this is long but needed to be said. Thank you“

“Food was great, service was great too. The man still working with an injured arm, alot of people could learn from your example. Hope it heals soon, and thank you. Dining area was very clean although maybe a little run down. One of the best Taco Bell that I've been to. Can be tricky to get into and out of but well worth it.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian switch on the kiosk menu so all you see are the vegetarian options, super awesome and helpful!!!“

“Food is always good and freshly prepared. This is a new location and very easy to get to off I-20 in Brandon,MS. Only complaint recently is that I ordered over the internet and order was not correct even though I plainly specified what I wanted . Manager did apologize and offered refund. To far to drive back so I declined refund. Other than that, Moe's is ok.“

“Excellent food and service! I’ve went a couple times and It’s a great experience every time! Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. The price is very reasonable too. Definitely make sure you go hungry as you’ll definitely be stuffed by the end!“

“Our first time here, arrived just off of “peak”. Around 7:40 pm. Was seated timely, served chips & salsa, given menus, spoke with server, ordered drinks… all within 2 minutes of being seated. Nice menu, lots of options, some dishes I had not seen. The kids plates had a good selection even though not needed for our visit. Our order was taken, food delivered quickly. Our server was, friendly, helpful, attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is great. Clean floors. All employees were in a restaurant garment of so kind, (you didn’t have to guess who worked there). Nice place. We had mid priced entrees and added an appetizer our check was a little over $30 for two. Happy customer here.Parking: Lot is Shared with Dollar General, plenty of spaces. It could be lighted better.Kid-friendliness: We had no children in our party, but we seen the servers entertaining kids at other tables.“

“I love El Torero and the friendly staff there. Enchiladas are too hard to pass up, but I would recommend the fajitas and quesadillas as well. One of my critical elements at any Tex Mex restaurant is the quality of the rice, beans, and salsa. El Torero cooks all three well.“

“I decided to try this place because I kept hearing other people talk about it a lot. It wasn’t bad but I thought it could have been better. My main problem was that the chips were not freshly made and were a little cold and I also wasn’t a huge fan of the red salsa. The chips looked homemade and were still good cold but I like having them warm when I go to a restaurant. It was cool that they brought out a tray that had multiple different salsas to try. I got the steak chimichanga which I thought was pretty good but the meat was in pretty small slices. The rice and beans were good and they have good queso. I also tried a bite of the birria taco which was pretty good and really cheesy.“
