Plato Feliz has officially earned a spot on my "never again" list. I ordered the Chimichanga El Oro…read morebecause it was reasonably priced. The shrimp and chicken chimichangas were good, but the steak was completely bland. No seasoning. No flavor. Nothing. But the food wasn't even the worst part. The restaurant had a sign outside advertising $5 mimosas today. I don't even drink mimosas, but because they were advertised as a special, I ordered one. Imagine my surprise when my bill showed $9.95 instead. When I questioned it, my server and two other employees informed me the special only applied from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Funny how that important detail wasn't on the sign that convinced me to order one in the first place. Instead of honoring the advertised price, they expected me to eat the extra charge because of information they failed to disclose. I paid because arguing over five dollars wasn't worth my time, but it's the principle. If you're going to advertise a special, advertise the entire special, not just the part that gets customers to buy. Businesses wonder why people stop supporting them. This is exactly why. Misleading advertising, no accountability, and no effort to make things right over a mistake that was entirely theirs. They lost a customer over $4.95. Not because of the money, but because of the dishonesty and poor customer service. I'll never be back, and I certainly won't recommend Plato Feliz to anyone. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere that values honesty and treats customers fairly.

Santo Coyote was my savior for a nice dinner. I had Googled local restaurants for pet friendly…read moredining spots. After Google saying that two different restaurants were pet friendly and then being denied service once I was there, I called Santo Coyote too see if they would let my dog and I dine on their patio. They readily said yes they would welcome me. They have a fantastic lovely patio that you can walk right onto. The chairs are metal and a bit hard sitting for a while in shorts, but I was glad to have a place to eat. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and a side chimichanga. They brought chips and salsa to the table. I loved that the chips were thicker. The ceviche tasted amazing. My hotel recommended Santo Coyote and I should have just listened to the front desk and came here first instead of trying the other places that wouldn't let me in (with my pet). This was a clear winner for food and service that made a weary traveler thankful to have a moment to sit and enjoy the moment.

I'm a fan of authentic street tacos so I got mine on the corn tortillas. All three were good but my favorite was the chorizo! The fish taco was good but the slaw didn't have a lot of flavor to it. Ribeye was tender. All three had enough meat that I was ok not having the Mexican rice as I'm accustomed to from other local Tex Mex spots. And if you're looking for good guacamole, get theirs! I really could have had it as my entree alone! Despite them being packed, service was very good. Definitely worth giving them a try!

I ordered a premium margarita and my husband ordered a modela beer along with a small bowl of queso. Our drinks and queso came out quickly and were all tasty.

They have a Salsa Station filled with several different salsas and sauces, picked onions, and I believe spicy sweet, pickled jalapeños? Will definitely revisit-- I need to try the Elote next time. * Chips and Queso: 9/10 - crunchy chips and thick yummy queso. * Classico (Mango) Margarita: 12/10- LOVE! I had mine made with Lalo Blanco. Taste like real mango margarita, none of that sweet & sour mess (didn't taste like it to me). * Banh Mi Taco: 7/10- Loved the pork belly but didn't give me the Banh mi flavor profile-- needed cilantro and carrot daikon needed to be pickled longer. * P&P Taco: 8/10- This had a great flavor with a hint of sweetness from pineapples (I think they're canned though, not sure..) * Tri-Me Taco: 7/10- Beef was tender but a tad salty also * Braised Black Beans: 6/10- Texture and flavor is perfect but a tad salty to me. * Corn Salad: 5/10- Too watery and acidic for my liking.

This is my 2nd review of Backwater Grill because...well, frankly...I think they deserve it…read more Here is the thing about Mississippi: You buy your days on credit. You get these magical 73º days in March and April (and maybe even May), fully understanding you are going to have to pay the piper come June, July, and August. But while you have them, you treasure them. The sun shines bright, but with warm welcome, not a glaring intensity. The cool breeze carries the scent of red maples, azaleas, dogwood, redbud, Yoshino Cherry trees, and, sweetest of them all, honeysuckle. The sky is a tropical blue, like you might see sitting on some tropical island with a name you struggle to pronounce. So why would you spend a Saturday afternoon like this inside, when you can sit outside, looking at the backwaters, and enjoying a delicious meal? This is my 4th trip to Backwater. Lunch, brunch, dinner, and now lunch again. So far, they never disappoint. It is early in the crawfish season, so my expectations are not high, but Backwater delivered just the same. Their weight scales are generous and their seasoning is excellent. The shrimp? Well, they are normally my 2nd choice behind crawfish, but these reds are big and succulent and juicy. Some of the best I have had. The beer selection is excellent and served icy cold, which is a good thing, because the potatoes and corn will burn your lips (if you aren't "from here", that is a good thing). But if you don't indulge, no worries...the sweet tea would make your Mama proud. And the ambience? Well, what can I say? Perfect. I can't believe it has taken this long for somebody to make use of the beautiful backwaters of the Reservoir. It is prime "Mississippi" and the owners are genius and clearly willing to put in a massive amount of work and effort to make eating at Backwater Grill a true Mississippi experience. If you are in the area, or even if you have to drive to get here, do yourself a favor: visit Backwater Grill. Next visit, I'm trying trying a burger for sure.

We waited outside and the setup is great - an open lawn and boardwalk overlooking the swamp. We enjoyed watching the wildlife and chatting. Once seated, we waited over 10 minutes for a server to stop by and finally went inside to ask for someone to help our table. A manager came out to take our drink orders. The kids' sodas came out quickly, but we waited and waited for bar drinks and two Shirley Temples. Food came quickly once ordered, and the aforementioned drinks didn't come out until after the food was served. The drinks and food themselves were quite good. If the service had hit the same level, it would have been a better experience.

Summary: 5/5 When I…read morefirst saw the reviews of this restaurant, I was scared. It was opening day and there was not a single five-star review but alas I was hungry. My wise friend recommended we stop here to parch our thirst and fill our stomachs. We entered the restaurant with trepidation but ultimately we were very surprised. The ambiance of the restaurant was something I would have never expected from a place like Jackson, Mississippi. Moreover the drinks were perfect. I got a mango nada. My fellow travelers got skinny margaritas and even a man who broke his sobriety of a few weeks got a pina colada. He remarked it was well worth it. With regards to the food we tried the quesadilla tacos. Amazing! I'm Hispanic and these were great. That's saying a lot from a random place in Jackson, Miss. All in all I think it's definitely worth a try. If you're nervous get the quesadilla tacos, get the mango nada cocktail, and transport yourself to Mexico. Service also great
