    I have been here over a hundred times. The service and food are always exceptional. Our go-to any time we need a delicious and quick dinner. Favorites among our family are the ACP/Wolverine Special, Birria Tacos (!!) and Molcajete. Although my husband tries something different each time and loves it all!

    This is our favorite Mexican restaurant around! We choose to come here over any other one within a 45 min radius. Prices are good compared to others. Every time we have come here we have enjoyed our meals, every time. Bean dip and salsa bar is really delicious, lots of options. All the regular menu items like chips, refried beans & rice are the perfect taste. Good vegetarian options, all the quesadilla options are so good - Veggie Quesadillas, Mushroom Quesadillas & Spinach Quesadillas, also Veggie Fajitas are all the ones I’ve ordered. My husband really enjoys his Pollo con Crema and orders it every time, we always look forward to the next dinner at El Campesino!

    We discovered this hidden gem this year and have frequented it often since! I have included pictures from many visits with different entrees. The flavors of each dish are fantastic and full of flavor! From the Mexican stew, carnitas, taco salad, Pelluza Texana, and Pollo Campesino, they are all delicious! The margaritas are well made and the wine is great as well. And let’s talk about the Micheladas! Delicious is an understatement. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and spotless! The ladies that work here are hardworking and so friendly and nice. I highly recommend!!

    We love this Mexican restaurant, food is delicious, much better than Mi Pub or Don Ramon’s, better service and great authentic feel! Salsa bar isn’t our favorite but the good food and atmosphere more than make up for it!

    Regular customer here. Quintessential Southern US Mexican-style diner menu, catering to gringos gordos like me. If you like inexpensive lunch specials, good sweet tea, huge portions, free chips and fast service, this is your place. I could eat there every day. Seriously.

    This was my 1st visit & I really enjoyed the experience. All the food that I tried was very good & I really liked their salsa bar. Besides the 2 Salsa's that I tried that lit my mouth on fire, I thought the rest of them were very tasty. I will make it a point to come back again when I'm back in the area.
