    Tasty taco and tasteless tamale.
    Tara C.

    We came for dinner on a Friday night in a group of 3. The wait was about 20 minutes and then we were seated and the real wait began. There was a long wait between visits to our table for drinks (which took a second visit to actually arrive and we only asked for water), to take our order and then for food to arrive. The food was a real mix of delicious and MEH. The tacos were super tasty but the tamales were fairly tasteless. The rice was good but the beans were just...fine. And the total for three people--no drinks!--was $91 with the tip. Definitely overpriced for what we had in the food and the experience. Next time we pass through Mesquite we'll eat elsewhere.

    This restuarant was recommended and good thing too since there are very few good places to eat in Mesquite. The portion sizes are huge so bring your big boy appetite. The service was sporatic and slow, they were nice, but I felt isolated and forgotten. I would return for the food.

    Restaurant is large and separates into another area. Walk in and wait to be seated. Looking at the menu we FINALLY found a place that put refried beans in the nachos and had to order them. Plate came out piping hot and everything was evenly spread on the chips. The plate could have been licked clean! We ordered the combo plates and had a mini buffet tasting beef tacos, chicken enchiladas, pork tamales, and the chicken chimichanga. You couldn't go wrong with anything you picked. Rice was nice and fluffy, beans were exceptional. While a little more expensive, this will be a recurring spot for us when we visit mesquite.

    Restaurant was a nice size, they placed a Hispanic music and not crazy loud. They sat us right away and then brought out chips and salads. The chips were crispy and the salsa was ok. I had a chille relleno which was ok but no flavor. I also had a carnitas tostada and the beans were delicious and they provided a good amount of meat but the meat was bland. I needed to add salt and hot sauce. My SIL had the chile verde which was good but missing a little spice. My husband and daughter had the cheese enchilada which was ok but again the sauce was missing something. Now they had the crunch chicken taco and wow it was amazing. We all agreed that we would come back for the tacos. The shell was crispy and the filling was flavorful and juicy. Def the stand out of our meal. I would def come back for the tacos and next time I'll give the asada a try.

    Found this place on Yelp once we got to Mesquite and decided to try it out. The food was a little above average, though I didn't love the beans and rice. Mine had a good flavor, but wasn't mind blowing. It's a decent middle of the road type Mexican place. Probably a 3 1/2 star place.

    Stopped by Cinnamon Café while passing through Mesquite and was pleasantly surprised. Tucked away…read moreinside a hotel, it provides a good cafe experience. The menu has a huge variety of breakfast and lunch options. Once in the restaurant, it doesn't feel like you're inside of a hotel. The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and our food came pretty quick. The breakfast crêpes were incredible and super fun to eat outside normal French toast and pancakes. My husband and I split a breakfast burrito and it was and more than enough for the both of us, ordering it, wet with avocado was the move! If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot away from the casino crowds, Cinnamon Café is definitely worth a visit. Between the friendly staff and huge portions it was wort the stop.

    Place is located inside of a hotel. Spacious room in the back, seating was decent booths and…read moretables. Table of 2, traveling over memorial weekend on a Saturday around 1PM, not crowded, few tables full. Took a minute to be sat, was promptly greeted by the waitress. They have a decent size menu, mostly breakfast, but they almost any food you're craving they have, spaghetti, burgers. I ordered the chorizo skillet and the other guest a breakfast burrito. Like a few others have said, food is bland. We ate there traveling back from Vegas. We wanted to try local but you might be better off having something reliable like a chain restaurant throughout Mesquite. Or waiting the 1 hour n half for a spot in Vegas. Overall place is clean and workers were friendly, it was quicker, just the food is alright
