Was attending a zachary chamber meeting and this being my first time visiting this restaurant and was blown away by the food and the service. The manager mingle with us all and was very hands on. The customer service was top notch. This will definitely be one of my go to restaurant. I had been to several restaurants here since moving here several months ago and I feel I have found my go to and they have steaks also. So if you are looking for a night out or just want to relax after work. This atmosphere is what you need. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Awesome food, great service! We went a little before normal dinner hours and we were one of four groups there. Our waiter was quick to take orders and get drinks. Margaritas and food was spot on and tasted great! I would definitely give this place a try.

Same quality as the original Superior under its original management - fresh ingredients and authentic recipes - but it feels just a little bit cleaner inside. Possibly due to the age of the building, but it seems like everything is less "sticky" than Superior and now, a better quality since its competitor is more cost-concious under new management. Otherwise, very much the same restaurant with few changes. The restaurant is owned by former long-time Superior employees (I was told). I prefer El Mejor.

The food has always been fast & delicious. Really enjoy the atmosphere for solo visits to group happy hour. Service is fast & friendly. I've had the brisket tacos, taco salad, fajitas, and margaritas during the different visits.

Wanted Chinese food, but it was closed so my cousin suggested trying this place out. I'm from Texas so I love tex mex and have tried a ton! I got the enchiladas and my cousin got the red fish special. Before I even tried my food I was stealing his vegetables. Super tasty, well cooked, and a good variety. My combo enchiladas were fantastic- I ate it before I even considered taking a photo. The service was awesome, my cousin never needed to ask for a refill and I never got to the bottom of mine. We added a dessert after the bill and they got it out quick. The music playing was unexpected but good fun and everyone seemed really nice. Can't wait to come back with more family!

Great food, great drinks, and music. There is hardly ever a wait and the food gets to you quickly. Booth, bar, or table - all good choices. It's clean, friendly, and one of those places where you feel like you could be "a regular" (it just becomes your GO TO place). Occasionally call-in or online orders take a bit longer, and make sure to check before you leave with them (sometimes there may be something missing or you got someone else's order - this happens everywhere though, so not that big of a deal). All in all - if you are looking for good Mexican food or just a nice place to get a good meal in Zachary, this place is "El Mejor"! (that's "the best" for those who need a translation). :)
