Best Mexican Restaurant in Decatur

by tlauth at Citysearch

My wife and I live in Decatur and consider ourselves foodies. We eat dinner at restaurants at least 4 nights a week. Mezcalito's is a hidden gem in Oakhurst. The margaritas (Texas Gold on the rocks with salt) are fantastic. We typically start with the chips, salsa and queso. My favorite is the chicken tacos but the highlight of the meal is always the side salad. The dressing keeps us coming back. The best part about this restaurant is the friendly service. Marco and Vlady are always willing to chat. Sit at the bar for a meal to really get the full flavor of the warm and friendly atmosphere. For the past year or so, Sunday night dinners at Mezcalito's have become a tradition, and now, my wife and I proudly call ourselves regulars.

• Pros: The service is always fantastic and very friendly
• Cons: none

The best chicken enchiladas

by pauleyc at Citysearch

I love the chicken enchiladas!

The decision whether to get "my usual" or go with one of their specials is a struggle of mega proportions at each visit. They're both so good.

Go there. Good atmosphere, too.

• Pros: Out of the ordinary
• Cons: Little pricey, but still reasonable

Wished I tried it earlier

This place is a great little find. My partner and I found it last night and gave it a shot. The Chicken Taco was the best for me. The Steak Taco was a close second. The Fish Taco was OK. It had at least 2 types of fish, and one was a little fishy for my tastes, but it had a good sweet heat to it.

My partner had the tamale and it was tasty, too. It had a nice heat that didn't kick you right away. The side salad was delicious. Their vinaigrette is tasty. I also liked their green rice. It was unusual, but very subtle flavors made it quite tasty.

We're probably moving in June, but we will be back several more times before we go.
