El Mexicano Inn in Gulfport

Best top shelf margarita on the Ms Coast! Authentic Mexican food fresh and fabulous!

Excellent food all around!

Absolute best Mexican food on the coast. We drove from Ocean Springs for dinner and had a tremendous meal and experience. Tony makes some terrific margaritas. We will definitely return very soon.

It took a moment to be sat and once we were sat we felt like we had been forgotten. Out waiter decided to take another table so we ended up being served by either the cook or dishwasher. It was greatly appreciated but definitely a let down. We ended up getting the Flautas for an appetizer and it was very highly disappointing. The chicken was disgustingly dry and hard to chew. I got the chicken enchilada and ended up pulling the chicken out entirely and just ate the wrap, beans, rice, and veggies on the plate. My husband was also disappointed for the same reason. The flavor was there but it was just highly disappointing. We will try it again another time and much earlier in the day. Just very sad.

Always a winner.. Love the food and Tony!

I have been coming here since before Martha bought the place and before Tony came up from Mexico. Martha was a waitress and bought the place from the current owner and while the place was good before it just got better and better. Funny, my favorite dish is simply their bean burrito! They do something to the beans that make them out of this world! My husband proposed to me here - we now live in Mobile but we come over every now and then for dinner. It is worth the trip!

Great little family-owned place. Fresh chips, great food, personal customer service.

It was really nice and quite.... staff was very polite....food was excellent...I will definitely go back again

Best margaritas I've ever had in my life. The food is authentic and the owner is fantastic!

Amazing food and service. Spicy burrito can not be best. This place is worth going to eat. Top shelf margarita is to die for.

How can you beat authentic Mexican cuisine?!! This has been one of my favorite places for years!!! Cudos to Tony!!!!

Authentic food, friendly service.

I've been coming here for lunch for a couple years now and it's always fantastic. A cozy hole-in-the-wall place that really makes you feel at home. Tony is very friendly and accommodating. The food is authentic and the best around. The spicy food is spicy and I personally believe they have the best sweet tea on the Gulf Coast. I would come back for the tea alone.

Hadn't been there for awhile but the food and service are still GREAT !!!

Very helpful and personal service with good food.

Always delish!

This place is so great, the margaritas were the best. The people make you feel like your at home. I was so relaxed, the people are awesome. The food is great, definetely worth your time.

Went for lunch, food was delicious and the service was excellent. Tony is the best!!!

Tony was friendly the food is the best Mexican food in Gulfport. The salsa is my kind of spicy. Since my first visit was take out I reserved my review to 4 stars. Which I will most likely change when I dine in.

Food was below average. Service was terrible. A Birthday party in the back of the restaurant took up all of the servers time.Only one server and one cook working as far as I could see. A total disappointment.

Always a stop on my trips to Gulfport. Tony takes care and pride in his business. Authentic Mexican food!!

The best, most authentic Mexican food on the Coast. Tony and Martha have been providing excellent fare for years and the quality has always been phenomenal. In my opinion, the best chips and salsa in existence is available here. Make sure you grab a booth and relax!

Always great food and service

The food was fantastic

Staff is friendly, but everything on the menu is microwaved. Just make it at home and save your money. I should have known better than to order food when they tried to serve me instant tea in Mississippi. How does this place have 4+ stars??? I’ll never know.

Very good food! This place has been around for 45 years! Gotta tell you something!

It was small, but I was eating a late and seating wasn't a problem at that time. Foo and service was good and they have bar.

It was a great experience and will definitely be back!

Wayyyyy too spicy hot. Be ready to break a sweat and blow your nose a lot

My husband and I love places that provide great customer service, therefore we absolutely loved this place, the food was amazing as well. We will definitely come back!!!!!

The place was empty on a weekend and it STILL took them way too long to make our food.The food was pretty good but my cousins tortillas were room temperature and slightly stale.Average or above food but don't expect your food for 30 minutes to an hour. Maybe they just had a bad night. Very polite people though.

Best food ever. You've never had Mexican food until you try this place.

The perfect little hole in the wall restaurant. The place isn't fancy or one of the chaos but their food is out of this world. Maybe because it's authentic and made with love. Service was good, Tony calls everyone his friend and checks in on you to make sure everything's ok. My meal was amazing, I cleaned my plate. I had the beef burrito supreme dinner with red beans and rice. wish I had taken a picture but I was starving. Really enjoyed their nachos too. I'll definitely be going back and I highly recommend this place. only issue, the booths are really cramped. other than that, perfect dining experience!

Tony is a G. Best margaritas. Top shelf dollar more!!

Great drinks and good service always a great to dine there

Best authentic Mexican food on the coast. Tony, his sister Martha , and all of the crew are top notch with the best food (and Margarita's hands down!!) on the coast. For anyone not from the coast that does not know,..this place has been open 40+ years,..restaurants that are not top notch do not stay open that long. In my book no more proof needed to go check this fine establishment out.

Mediocre food... poor service... very long wait

Typical Mexican food

I enjoyed the beef taco and cheese enchilada with the chili con carne topping. The chips and salsa are also very good. Next time, I won't get a meal, just two tacos and two enchiladas with the chips and salsa. Definitely, the most authentic Mexican fare in this area. Highly recommend!

Best Mexican food on the coast. Margaritas alway excellent. Tony and staff are great cooks and servers.

Fabulous mexican food, great service and the best margaritas on the coast! We make it a point to have dinner here every time we in town.

What a great, quaint local, locally owned place. Great food with great friendly service.

you get the feeling that you’re visiting a friend for a meal. Very personable and the food is full of flavor. We love coming here for the experience and atmosphere.

We love this place. Food is great, drinks are great and the atmosphere is great. Tony and staff do an awesome job and are very friendly.

I haven't been there since I was 18. It is still over priced and bland. I didn't realize we were inside it was the same place that was there in the 80's. I thought it would have improved in 30 years. They have not. It'll be another 30... I'll forget and remember when its too late again.

We have been coming here for years now as one of our special places to eat. Tony is always courteous and greets us as if we are visiting his home. I always order my chicken burrito ranchero and nachos....best I've ever had. Well worth the drive from Diamondhead and will be heading there this evening!

Best Margaritas in Mississippi, excellent customer service, delicious & fresh food

This is my wife and I's favorite new place. Fresh chips and fresh made salsa brought out to the table immediately when you sit down. I could come just for them! Antonio remembers people by face and always greets us. Wish more resturants operated like this.

Best Mexican food I have ever had! Too shelf margarita is fantastic!

A hidden GEM downtown Gulfport! Best Mexican food EVER. ..Best margaritas EVER...Best service EVER! My kids luvvv honey icecream too! We luv Tony & staff! Support this grt restaurant!
