“Can't go wrong with a good street taco, but I love the pintos.”

“Best Mexican food I've had, and I've had a lot... ample portion as well. Wait staff attentive, but not overly so.”

“This was my first time trying Southern Style Barbecue and Fried Chicken. I figured it would be good since there is always a long line. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Bbq and chicken plate with 2 sides, peanut butter cookie, and banana pudding was $17. Overall the food was okay with the fried chicken being the best part of the meal.”

“Shop local, good food, employees”

“Absolutely Love this place. Is the best Mexican food I've had in years
The way to go is getting the Family Packs =Meat, by the pound,half pound or quarter pound. The fried carnitas and seasoned brisket.Ohh my god with their homemade tortillas shoot, I eat on that for three or four days. It's kind of like Subway you just walked through and pick what you want. They do bowls tacos, everything everything's home made basically and the fraud churros are home made you gotta wait for Em because they cook. Em, as you order Em, but they are freaking awesome. Take him home and put them in some ice cream. Good God.
I hear every time I come to clinton wish I came more and wished they were on the other side of clinton closer to me.Can't get enough!!! I can get a half pound of fred carnitas, a quarter pound of seasoned brisket a pack of homemade flour tortillas and Pico de Gallo, sour cream cheese, jalapenos red sauce, verti sauce, creamy, Verde sauce. All the stuff for under $20. I easily fef three and we all ate our fill. For loans or taco, bowls will anytime their taco bowls and tacos are awesome too, but I just get all I can When I can! Also they have rotisserie chickens! EVerything's just awesome, just so much, its like Subway Mexican style On the steroids.”

“​If you are looking for authentic flavor and a welcoming atmosphere in Clinton, El Mazatlan is the place to be. It is easily one of the best dining options in the area, consistently delivering high-quality food and top-notch service.
​The Food:
The menu is packed with variety, and everything I’ve tried has been excellent. The chips are thin and crispy, the salsa has the perfect kick, and the entrees are always served piping hot. Whether you’re going for the street tacos, a loaded burrito, or their sizzling fajitas, the portions are generous and the ingredients feel incredibly fresh.
​The Service:
What really sets this place apart is the staff. Even when the restaurant is crowded, the service remains fast, attentive, and friendly. You’re never left waiting long for a refill or your check, which makes for a seamless dining experience every time.
​The Atmosphere:
It has a great local feel—comfortable enough for a casual lunch but vibrant enough for a family dinner. It’s clearly a staple for the Mount Olive community, and for good reason.
​The Bottom Line:
El Mazatlan is a 5-star experience from start to finish. Great food, great people, and great prices. If you’re passing through or live nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in.”

French toast grits, ham, lemonade , and water Brother Anthony. French toast grits, ham, coffee , and water Brother George. Daddy got grits, bacon, toast, tea and water. What a breakfast. Thanks for helping us to celebrate his 84th birthday.”

“Great food, great prices, but WHY is there an 18% gratuity charge for parties of only 5 or more? 6 or more, sure. Usually it’s 8 or more.”

“I'd almost given up on waffle House after getting burnt omelettes at the one on cedar Creek Rd in Fayetteville and McGees crossroads in Johnston county. The food here made me so glad I didn't!!! Server was pleasant and the cook did a great job. This is the way Waffle House should be 🥰”

“A friend mentioned this place to me and was raving over how good the food is, so I checked it out. I ordered the chicken nachos, and they were awesome. I also had a couple of drinks. The price was right, so it's definitely worth revisiting. Also, they do karaoke, dancing after 9, and they play great music. I had a great time. They have big screens where you can watch games or the videos to the songs playing, they have billiards and the ambiance was pretty cool and relaxed. Service was awesome. I want to try their authentic Honduran food next.”

“Enjoyed the steamed oyster appetizer and the shrimp and broccoli boil. Very yummy!”

“My niece wanted to eat her after her 8th-grade graduation yesterday. I'm not a big buffet fan, but I tagged along and I want to express my gratitude to the ladies of this establishment…they were the kindest and most accommodating individuals I've ever encountered in similar environments. I wish you all well 🌹💫”
