Customer Reviews

"Food was pretty good and quick to the table. Our waiter was extremely helpful and familiar with the menu. The service we got was top notch and he kept our glasses full and food fresh. Great suggestions and explanations of the Menu."

- Tony G.

"The food was good and the portion sizes were decent as well. Service was amazing and friendly (they are NOT flirting with you). If you go there for alcohol (they are strong BTW) then they do run out sometimes as they did when I went. They will try an restock as fast as possible. I ate something called the "Happy plate" or Happy something with some tacos, it was good but too much cheese which took over the entire flavor but was still not bad. Price is a little bit more so if money is tight and you have a big family be careful. Ps. Por la Raza, the tortillas are not homemade."

"It's hard to give an accurate rating for this restaurant because I was part of a large group (15ppl) that had not given advance notice to the restaurant. They did the best they could. That being said, the wait staff was polite and professional. The food was excellent and abundant. I would like to go back in a smaller group."

"This is a great Mexican restaurant. It is not far off I 10 at exit 50..... the parking lot is clean. The inside was very clean.. I went for lunch. They even offer an express lunch. If you are in a hurry, the food was hot and delicious. The atmosphere was very good. The weight staff was exceptionally prompt and took care of all my needs. They offer many daily specials along with their lunch menu, and of course happy hour. Chips and salsa were fresh super crunchy. The next time that you were in the ocean Springs area and would like a little spice in your life try jalapeno grill."

"Tasty Mexican food . I had the express lunch with a beef enchilada, beef burrito and taco. My husband had the taco salad. The place was very clean and cozy. Generous portion sizes and an exceptional value. The chips were crispy and fresh, and the salsa was very tasty. I was a bit jealous of my husband's salad, so I sampled a bite and the taste was amazing. Sadly, the customer service is sub-par. I think they are lacking servers. There was two types of music playing simultaneously, which made for a noisy atmosphere. They didn't check on us (for refills) until we had finished our meal. Then there was an amusing, unfortunate event where a nearby table was served a skillet of fajitas, and smoke was billowing throughout the restaurant. The patrons were furiously fanning the smoke away and no one came over to assist them. I hope they will work to improve the customer experience because the food and value are great."
