El Picante

Four of us went there to eat and three of us ended up not paying for our order, that should tell you about the food. The service on that day was terrible too.

Enjoyed our lunch time visit to this establishment. The food was good and plentiful. The service was on point. During our lunch time break we stopped in and even though business was brisk, we got our order in very good time.

The owner understood my stomach problem. Immediately we went over the menu as to what i could possibly eat there. He even made his main cook make my food. He also gave me free chips and guacamole it wasnt small portion either. I will go there again.

Really fast and friendly service even though it was 45 minutes before close. We didn't plan on stopping here but everywhere else was closed already (small town life ekk). I got the shrimp fiesta which is grilled shrimp, rice, cheese, and bacon. The bacon was old (end of the night expected) but the rest was delicious. The salsa and chips were great and the sweet tea was awesome.

This is a great local restaurant with a real kick! It has great food, quick service and is clean. Portions are well sized. Friendly staff that are really authentic! Great place to eat Mexican food.

Amazing food An staff was very polite and helpful . Will deff come back and recommend to anyone wanting good food and service!

When we went, I think the AC was broken because it was really hot inside and I was skeptical because we were the only people in the restaurant at 4pm on a Thursday. But they were quick to take orders and were very friendly. One of the specials was Pineapple Fajitas. So my boyfriend ordered that and I had a mushroom quesadilla.The pineapple fajita was quite a presentation. I've never seen fajitas prepared like it: it was a pineapple sliced in half, insides scooped out, then filled with cooked chicken, veggies, cheese and of course pineapple, and cooked a bit longer in the pineapple. The pineapple gave everything a citrus tropical sweet flavor and it wasn't hot spice wise. It was very tasty.The mushroom quesadilla was also very good and I ate it quickly.The decor was average "Mexican American restaurant." Our total was $14.33 for 2 people who both ordered water; very inexpensive.So if I could, I would give the building 4 stars, but the servers would get 5, and the food would get 6!

We were about to turn into Sonic when we spotted this place across the street. We were pleasantly surprised! The service was a little slow, but it was worth the wait. Our food was fresh and delicious. I had the pineapple fajita special and loved it! Please eat here if you're ever in Iuka!

Lots of food cheap but be warned they cook most of the meat together and it gets dry and chewy. The chille relleno rocks though

This is by no means GREAT mexican food. If I had this same experience in a bigger city I would have given it two stars, but given the other choices in Iuka it is pretty good. The Fajitas are probably the best thing I have had and the quesadillas are a good budget option. The service is wonderful (best part of the whole experience) and the prices are good for what you get. Overall, if you live locally it is the best option if you just don't feel like cooking or driving an hour, but it isn't especially fresh, flavorful, or authentic.
