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.

I actually signed up for Yelp just to tell everyone what a crapp place this is. Waiter could not answer any questions regarding the menu, for starters. Chips were thick, greasy and flavorless. Salsa was also flavorless. Cheese in stuffed pepper was still cold and semi solid!! Sauce on enchilada literally tasted like chef boyardee with cumin. I was so disgusted by the cold cheese I asked for a taco to replace it. The meat had no flavor whatsoever. The only upside was the drinks ( tea or soda) came in a huge glass. I was very, VERY disappointed in this place. Will never return.

La Cazuela is decent for Mexican food-- if you are just going to have a good time with friends and don't really care about authenticity. Being from California and knowing what true Mexican cuisine is like, I was surprised at this Southern version. The salsa is a strange, Pace-like adaptation, sans any veggies. The margaritas come out of a machine. Also, the food is so salty!! Unless you like the flavor a salt lick, don't try the tortilla soup. The shrimp are pretty good, give the Diablo dish a try. A good place to have beer and appetizers with friends, nothing more.

Best fish tacos I've ever had, and the margaritas are fantastic, I'll definitely be camping back.

I rarely (almost never!) give less than three stars, but this place is frankly just not that great. If you're looking for a super basic margarita or a beer along with some average Tex Mex then by all means, head to La Caz but if you're looking for a unique or fantastic meal, just pass on this. The patio is sheltered and that's pretty nice. It's a bummer that such a great space is wasted on such low quality food though. The service isn't particularly friendly or helpful, though it's generally pretty quick. The queso is definitely microwaved and don't even bother with the guac. If you're craving Mexican or Latin American food, you're much better off heading to Babalu or Cafe Ole.

This place gets worse every time I go. The only thing this place is good for is if you just want a bunch of cheese and beans and generally crappy Tex-Mex. Let's be honest, that is sometimes exactly what you want. This is the place for that. The food is terrible. Not that it tastes bad, it is just very low quality Tex-Mex. The service is actually fairly on point though. It is cheap. The margaritas probably do not contain alcohol.

Terrible service. If Sara is your waitress ask for another! Cheated at the bar Double shot of tequila was half of a small bathroom size paper Dixie cup $16. Appetizers came out same time as entrees. Too many great Mexican restaurants in Jackson and the surrounding area to settle for this.

I was hesitant to dine here because of the reviews but we decided to give it a try anyway. First, the food and service was actually pretty good. We ordered the combination chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas which came out on a sizzling platter and included all the typical fixings. We ordered the double and I gotta say...wow. There was enough to feed four adults with still some to take home. My wife and I couldn't even put a dent in this plate! Service was friendly and prompt. So here's the deal; they'd get four stars if the place was cleaner. The dinning area and the restrooms were pretty disgusting. The men's room didn't even have paper towels. This tells me the cooks aren't cleaning their hands after using the "facilities". Also, if the restaurant management isn't concerned with the cleanliness of the public areas of their restaurant, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like.

Worst meal I ever had. I ordered the shrimp and scallop fajitas, the were cooked to fossil stage and 10x more seasoning than needed. I will never return to this horrible nightmare place again.

Loud place. Food is OK but nothing special and not very authentic. The ladies bathroom was dirty and my husband said the mens room was disgusting-- and he was way lower cleanliness standards than me! It's also a GREAT place to get your car broken into. My brother's truck was broken into in the parking lot in broad daylight. A guy who had been hanging around the lot (and why are people just hanging around the lot in the first place?!) said he didn't see anything, but was just grinning and acting like he couldn't understand us. Over $3000 worth of clothes, jewelry and electronics were stolen... we had stopped there for lunch while coming home from a vacation. We informed management about the break in, and they did NOTHING. No apology, didn't even come out to the lot. They just ignored it. We had to call the police because they sure wouldn't. When the police arrived, they said break-ins have been a problem there. I realize the management didn't cause the break in, but they could at least pretended to give a damn.

Wow this is the worst Mexican Grill (yes! Coming from a girl who was raised in a Hispanic household and originated from TEXAS). They are cold hearted and they do not have any good food. Let me say, it was one evening me, my sister, and mum decided to check this place out and we were highly disappointed. We almost walked out without eating, but my mum said it would be disrespectful to do that. I know, racism is a huge issue in Mississippi so I wasn't too shocked about that but when it came with the whole staff turning against us dining that was a little surprising (because we are paying customers). We had a waitress that only came to bring us our refreshments after that she was gone (disappeared). She didn't even bring us our food, a waiter from the back did. (VERY RUDE!!) Don't order dessert, we made the mistake to order dessert and it came out STALE. This place needs to closed down seriously. Go to Byram and eat at Jarros (good food)

Definitely my fave Mexican resturant in the Jackson Area. Good food decent prices. Absolutely love the outdoor seating, (heated in the winter months.) Their chip and is to die for alone. :)

Cold Service and Cold Food. Now that I am writing and reading other reviews, I should have stayed away. It's not too late for you! I saw my waitress three times in an hour: 1) to take my order; 2) to bring me a drink refill I had to ask the manager for; 3) to bring me my bill. Service: Bad. Non existent almost. Maybe because it's Halloween and my waitress made like a ghost and disappeared? When I did receive my food about 25 min after I ordered (and it wasn't busy) it wasn't hot. I was asked if I needed anything, and I said Hot Sauce. I never saw that guy again, and never got my hot sauce. Enchilada sauce is out of a can, my guess is Old El Paso. The salsa, by name only, as mentioned before, is chopped up tomatoes. No cilantro, no peppers, no onions - just bleh. After my drink ran out I asked the manager lady for a refill, since my waitress was MIA. The manager lady came out a couple times more, but didn't bring me the drink or tell me it was coming, she just ignored me. Apparently told my waitress it came eventually.. No one every apologized for anything the whole meal. I did notice the waitress at the next table who I saw several times, had wrong and delayed orders, but at least she was trying. Apparently this place has problems on several levels. It's a good candidate for Restaurant Stakeout, and you wouldn't even need the hidden cameras, you can just sit back and watch most of the workers not care about the food or service.

I don't really know where to begin. First, it only took me 30 min to get my food which was a fijita chimichanga. The people sitting next to me didn't have any time left to eat their lunch. They had their order changed to to "to go" orders but I decided to stick it out. When my food finally cam out it was loaded with cooking oil. I lifted the chimichanga to show the waiter how the oil was pouring out. she did ask me if I wanted to change my order but by then 45 minutes had went past. So I took my bill to the manager to explain my concern. He actually looked at me like he wanted to say "so what". He took my money and told me he would take care of me next time. as I stood in shock he gave me a look as though he was wandering why I was still standing there.

3 of the worst tacos I've ever had...good chips and salsa...won't be back.

I came here for dinner as I saw they had outside seating with music. The music was karaoke tonight. The place looks busy as the parking lot is usually full. After the other businesses around it close (medical facility), some people park there. Food wise...I had the Mexican Steak (TBone with vegetables) with rice, refried beans and tortillas. The price was good....$12-$13 for the entire thing. The taste did not knock me off my seat but it was a meal. Good place to have a meal if you're hungry and 1 of the closer restaurants if you are staying at the Marriott Residence Inn Jackson off Fortification. I did not have a drink however I know they do have a full bar.

I can count on on hand the number of restaurants for which I've walked out without eating. This is one of them. Five of us were starving after a day of jet skiing on the reservoir. All five of us love Mexican food. In fact, if I believed in reincarnation, I'd swear I was Mexican in a previous life. Chips: Lowest quality corn/tortilla chip I've ever tasted. Salsa: I guess the tomato juice in the jar is supposed to be salsa. No onion, no cilantro, no jalapeno, no garlic. Ick. Salad dressing: All I wanted to know was whether it was home made or came in a packet. What is it with Mexican restaurants in the South serving salad dressing packets with a salad? I had too ask literally four people -- all the way to the manager before anybody understood English enough for me to finally just ask for a side to taste. And, I'm all for Mexican people working in Mexican restaurants -- that totally works for me, but really, I think at least one person on staff should be able to translate basic restaurant language for the others. They brought me a packet. Okay, so I won't be getting salad. "Queso": Are you kidding me??? I kid you not, it was like salty thick milk. There was nothing about it that tasted like or had the texture of cheese. It took all my couth to swallow what I put into my mouth. Water: Are water filters really so damned expensive????? It was classic Mississippi water that tastes like mud. One sip and that was it. And, this disgusting taste is not masked by tea, or any kind of carbonated beverage -- it takes over the drink. At this point I was disgusted and afraid to try ANYTHING off the menu. If they cannot get the BASICS right, there was no telling how the food would turn out. We all agreed it was time to go. The ONLY positive to the whole experience was that the manager simply asked why and when we told him, he said "Okay, no problem." I will never be back, but I hope for their sake that they make some changes so they can keep customers.

It's average Mexican food. Not bad, but not awesome. It's fast and cheap, and the waitstaff is always refilling your drink.
(3)Felicia B.
The server was a little slow, but that isn't always the case. The Baja Fish tacos and the Pulled Pork tacos are excellent. Beans/rice are uninspired standard fair, as are the happy hour margaritas but they'll make you warm and fuzzy.

On their menu they have a section called "Vegetarian combinations" a lot of these combos included items with rice and beans (typically mexican rice is cooked in chicken broth and the beans with lard) so when I asked the waitress if the rice had chicken broth and if the beans had any lard she responded " I don't know, I don't know how they cook that stuff" and just stared at us until my girlfriend asked her if she could find out for us. She seemed very irritated by this request and it turned out the rice and beans are not vegetarian even though its listed as being vegetarian. So we ordered the vegetarian fajitas with no rice and no beans. They gave us a huge plate of grilled veggies and only three very small tortillas. How are we suppose to fit all those veggies into just three tortillas? Plus the tortillas weren't made in house and neither was the salsa. If you're going to be a mexican restaurant you should make your own tortillas and your own salsa. The food was okay, the waitress was very unfriendly and rude. They get two stars for giving you really huge cups of soda and it was a hot day.

There are places in the Metro with better Mexican food, yes, that is without a doubt, but it is hard to beat sitting out on the deck with a pitcher of beer or some margaritas, while you have a good time with friends. I see that some of the other reviewers have had bad luck with waitstaff, but that has not been my experience. I have had the very good fortune to be waited on by people that were always friendly, if at times a bit lacking in speed. The food is good. Somethings are much better than others, but sometimes not so much. Again, if you just want to go somewhere for Mexican food, there are better places, but if you want somewhere to have a good time with a table full of folks, this is it. Oh, the lunch specials aren't bad either, they are fast, and they serve them on the weekends.

I have to give this place 5 stars. It's been awhile since I have had some good Mexican food. The salsa is very good, not too hot, but not too mild. I got 2 cheese enchiladas, taco, rice, and beans. It was good, but my husbands was even better. He got a chicken meal with peppers and onions smothered in a white cheese sauce with rice and beans. His meal was to die for and I will be getting it when we go back, which will be soon. My husband goes here a lot with his co-workers and usually gets the lunch steak fajitas. He always has leftovers and it is seasoned very well, very yummy. Our daughter even liked the food here and she is very picky. For all 3 of us to eat was only $24, but we all had water to drink. Very good, we will be going back again soon.

I may have enjoyed an experience or two at La Cazuela Mexican Grill, but all I can think of now is the $300 dollars I had to beg my bank to give me back after the wait staff stole my debit card after accidentally leaving it in the little card holder thing after I paid. I know, dumbass move, but still, let me give you an idea of what type of people work at this place. I received a call the following morning asking me to verify suspicious charges. I was told that I spent 47 dollars the previous night at sonic (someone was reallly thirsty for a slushie), 3 dollars at McDonalds (3 double cheeseburgers), and 255 dollars at a shell station ( a shit load of gas!). Bottom line, the food is mediocre, and in my opinion you can get much better at Margaritas on Pear Orchard/County Line. And they won't steal your card and buy 3,000 slushies.
(2)Margaret S.
I like this place. Their salsa is really good: not too hot, not too mild, not too soupy, not too chunky. Their guac is also really good; not too many raw onions. At Mexican places, I usually get one tamale and rice; and theirs are excellent. My fiance gets the two burrito, one taco, rice & beans dinner, and his is always excellent, too. They have great flan and GREAT margaritas. Parking is a little difficult at lunchtime, but I think the food is worth it.
(4)Joshua S.
Large portions, B-I-G drinks (including alcohol), and a good value. The waiters aren't usually the greatest and sometimes it takes a while to get food, but overall this a great place to go hang out, grab some food, and enjoy some drinks with a group.

I came to this restaurant while visiting family in Jackson from New Orleans and I was incredibly disappointed. While I didn't expect the greatest Mexican food in Jackson, Mississippi, I certainly didn't expect such a low standard for food or service. The waitress seemed put out when we ordered drinks, including one for a friend who had not yet arrived and then asked her to come back to take our order when our friend arrived. It took her twenty minutes after our friend arrived to come back to our table, and the restaurant was not even that busy. At this point, we ordered a pitcher of margaritas, which never arrived, but which we got charged for. Again, the waitress seemed put out when we asked her to remove the charge for the margaritas from our bill. As far as the food, it took forever to arrive and it was cold and bland. The salsa was basically ketchup - totally bland and not spicy at all. Frankly, we paid way too much for food and service that sucked.
