Have now ordered takeout from here 3 times. Twice the order has been missing an item. Informed them of the latest error when I got home and received customer service as bland as the veggie fajitas. Want to like this place but they make it difficult to be a fan. Hope your experience is better than mine.

This is the very best Mexican Restaurant in Americus. The food is fantastic and they are very generous with their servings. The service, most of the time is where they exceed. The owner Louis is often on site and will walk around and socialize with the diners. The manager will also do the same. Once when I took a cranky... More

I have eaten here a number of times. The food is consistant and the service is good. I have never gotten a bad meal here nor ever had bad service. Usually the family orders fairly simple menue items but I will order something that while on the menue is not served too often to the locals. The things I have... More

The food was outstanding and so was the service. Our waiter even tried to get us to pronouce the Spanish way of saying a dish. The amount of food to the cost was outstanding.

Myself and 4 others from my company were in town for business and wanted to try it out - had a craving for Mexican. The crowd was pretty hopping for a regular Wednesday night so our expectations were high. It turns out that the meals are just average. Two of us got regular mexican fare - tacos and chimichangas -... More

What a gem! It is so good and cheap. In a town with few choices, it's nice to find a reliable Mexican place like this. The service was fantastic too.

If you are looking for a fancy restaurant, this is not your place. If you want good Mexican food and friendly service, for an inexpensive price, go to El Jalapenos. I got the combo with a taco, enchilada and chili relleno. The chili relleno had so much cheese that it was too much for me. I love cheese, but more... More

We went on a weekday and after lunch rush. There was alot of employees standing around and starring at us though I had to ask for my cousin drink to be refilled. Americanized Mexican food but still was good. Wish their service was better.

My wife and I were staying in Americus for the night and asked the hotel for a few recommendations for dinner and this was one of them. One of the locals also recommended this restaurant. The menu is typical Tex Mex. The building, which is located near the Georgia Southwestern College campus, is yellow and kind of nondescript. However, once... More

We were there for Cinco de Mayo. The restaurant was packed, but service was consistently good. The waiter was prompt and came back several times to see that drinks were replenished. The food was served piping hot. Everyone at the table said their dinners were very good.
