Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Don't let the looks fool you! This by far islicious!!! the best Mexican food in the area. Everything is cooked to order and prepared quickly. Delicious!

Cheap Mexican food at its finest. Extra large menu with really small prices. This would definitely be more of an option if I lived in the area. For the price everything is solid; margaritas, bean burrito, tostada, cheese enchilada, cheese dip, guacamole. I enjoyed a little bit of everything.

Lord knows I love my El Meskal. The margaritas are on point, the food is traditional Mexican and the prices are awesome! I love their queso! If they are busy, it's probably going to take a minute but be patient people, it's gonna be worth it. I'm a regular of theirs. I told them they need to start a frequent eater program or something lol. Not the nicest place, but when it comes to the food I really really don't mind. It's perfect to me.

If this is what authentic Mexican food tastes like, I will stick to my favorite "faux" Mexican restaurants. I decided to branch out and try something different and after a bad experience here years ago, I was ready to forgive and forget. Well maybe I shouldn't have. The floors and walls looked like they haven't been cleaned since my first visit years ago. But I thought I'd look past all of that and have a great meal, not so much. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and my husband ordered the chile relleno. The quesadilla was like something I've never eaten before. There was more juice on the inside of the tortilla than there was meat or cheese. It was the messiest dish I've had a long time and I've never had a messy quesadilla before this dinner. The chile relleno was edible but nothing to write home about. The chips and salsa are complimentary but even they were not as good as most jars and bags of chips from the grocery store. The wait staff speaks very little English so if you know Spanish you have an advantage. I will not be branching out in El Meskal's direction again.

Wow, real Mexican food. A friend and I were driving home from Baton Rouge and we decided to find a place for dinner on the way home. I'm from Florida and I've really been missing some good Mexican food. So, we looked and we found this place. It reminded me so much of the places I used to go at home. The atmosphere is a little on the dive side. This is what I would expect. The music playing sounded like typical Mexican music and most of the people around us were speaking Spanish.I took this to be a good sign. The salsa was good and there was plenty of it. The queso was a no frills, but very tasty situation. I had a plate with rice, beans and two enchiladas with red sauce. The beef was well seasoned and the red sauce was tasty. Of course, not only was the food good, it was also cheap. A friend and I ordered 2 drinks, queso and 2 dinner plates for $23.00 with tax. I thought this was pretty decent. This place is good for authentic Mexican. It is also a good stop if you're between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

This place looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a few few years... Stains on walls, sticky floors, don't even ask about the bathrooms... We will NEVER return!!!

Authentic Mexican feel as compared to most Mexican or Tex Mex restaurants. Great food at a reasonable price.

If you love kitschy deco and Spanish speaking servers then this is your place! The table had a wonderful faux horse painting on it. The walls were covered in neon beer signs, and the windows were adorned with an inch thick tint that would make icy the Fort Wayne Komets Hockey team mascot able to sit in there and not worry about the sun. All of which gave the place a kind of charm not otherwise known. As for the food. I ordered a burrito and an enchilada, I'm not sure what the difference was between the two but regardless they were pleasant tasting none the less. Overall my experience at this restaurant was good. I would return. I would have given more stars but I think they could have been a bit cleaner, but the wait staff was very friendly.

Yall, this place needs to be inspected and shut down! We had an OK meal, wasn't fantastic but wasn't bad. We were leaving happy THEN, as we were walking out one of my kids pointed to the decorative chili peppers hanging on the wall and said "what are those bugs?!" We look and I'm not kidding, the chili pepper wall decor was COVERED in German roaches! I'm not talking 1 or 2, I'm talking like 30-40!! Disgusting!! I think we all left a little sick!!

Would give it four stars for the food but a two for cleanliness. Food is really good but could use a good cleaning.

Nice Staff, Good Food, older building so its not that fancy and the parking sucks! But whats important is the food! My favorite is the Parillada. It has steak, chicken, shrimp and chorizo (Mexican sausage) it says it feeds 2, but 3 of us ate easily with left overs.

For all of the people that are whining about this place being gross or dirty get over yourselves. This place has one of the nicest staffs a restaurant could ever have me and my husband are obsessed with this place and they practically no order before we even sit down. And the prices are outstanding $6 for a full meal at lunch time 7 days a week. I've lived in Gonzales for 20 years and unfortunately I just moved so this restaurant is definitely one of my most missed things and every single time I go back home I stop and eat there. They serve real Mexican Sonu their quesadillas do not look like taco bells or Casa Maria's! Don't knock it till you try it!

Small place I hate the parking lot .. Love love the margaritas .. The food is always good .. Service is fast and friendly. Great chips and salsa
(3)Laura A.
I absolutely love this place. The food is authentic and the waiters/waitresses are so friendly. The food is never a disappointment. Try the fundito or the steak special.

A LOT of food for a very reasonable price. I had a chalupa, enchilada, tamale, taco, chile relleno, beans, and rice, chips, and salsa, for $10.99! So much food, it came on 3 plates!! Had to take the taco with me, as I was more stuffed than a burrito grande. Food was good, hot, and served quickly by a friendly waiter. Standard salsa was pretty boring, but if you order the "spicy" salsa, $.99, it lights you right up. Wouldn't be 4 stars in the Southwest, but down here in Cajun Country, it's a 4-banger for sure.

Old, dirty, and greasy but the food is oh so good. Great enchiladas and I love the steak fajita taco salad. We have eaten here many times and I have never been disappointed.
