El Durango: Reviews & Ratings
I really love coming to this place. First of all, I love the atmosphere inside, it's like you're in a charming Mexican courtyard, relaxing and mostly recessed lighting, very chill and quaint, with some vintage vibes. The staff are nice, helpful and lowkey. Their menu has several things that you don't see at most Mexican restaurants in the area. And their quesadillas are simple yet incredible!! I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it is unctuous, buttery and soft and melty and rich. I went there for my birthday. I just went there for lunch and then again for dinner today, because I couldn't stop thinking about how great the quesadillas are. So if you're in Barnesville on a day they are open, come give it a try.
Love the people and the food is always great. I highly recommend this restaurant. We eat there 3-5 times per month.
Only open Tuesday through Friday, but well worth trying. It's a family friendly place run by a friendly family. The food is unexpectedly good. The Chicken Chipotle is broiled perfectly in a rich sauce that is balanced and doesn't overdo. My wife loves the steak salad with grilled mushrooms and pesto. Open faced poblanos with grilled chicken is my favorite so far. These are savory dishes with deep flavors that don't come out of a can. It really is fine food. The family provides the service and they take care to get things right, although sometimes they are stretched thin at rush hour. The ambiance is cheery and clean. The dining area is surprisingly large with many tables, a dozen booths, and a separate bar area. It's a popular family joint, often with groups and large parties. It's still fine for date night - just not on a Saturday.
Good food. Good service. It may not be spectacular, but its going to be good every time. We love the enchiladas suizas and the molcajete bowls!
This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant. Owned and operated by the sweetest family. The food is amazing and the service is great. The fajitas and pollo ranchero are amazing!
Best Mexican place I have found in Ga. Not a what type of Tortilla do you want your ground beef wrapped in. The chili relleno, is spot on, beans are creamy and do not taste like a can. Service is friendly, they kept checking back keeping our drink filled and asking if we needed anything, but not to the point of being a pest.
Love this place! We stopped in on our way up to Chattanooga trying to escape Hurricane Irma and glad we did! The staff was very friendly and I placed a to go order and they said it will be ready in 5 minutes. She was right! I love when someone keeps their promises! The beef taco was great and my husband loved the beef burrito. We liked it so much we got two more! The chips and salsa are fresh and has a little bite to it. We are coming back on our way home once the storm leaves!
One of the best choices in the small town of Barnesville, GA. Food is cheese sauce heavy, making it yummy and creamy. Service is good and prices are reasonable. When in town and craving Mexican, make this your go-to spot.
