George's Mexican - Mandeville

I just discovered this place on Sunday. First of all the salsa is pure love. It is spiced just right with a little zing. Not too much? But just right. We ordered lunch for 3 and ended up having lunch and had enough for 3 more meals. I can't wait to further explore their menu. I heard that the owner used to work elsewhere, wanted to cook and they wouldn't let him. Loss for them. Big win for Mandeville. This place has been here awhile. So, so glad he opened his own place!! Colorful interior adds to the overall feel for the place.

I am giving them a 2 star only because the service here was pretty good, and 1 star would take away from that. Everything was brought out promptly, and the servers were very friendly. That being said, we decided to go to George 's for the first time, and we were pretty disappointed. I feel like I 've been to so many Mexican restaurants (since that is so common in this area), and this was the worst by a long shot. We went because I have seen cars lined up on the service road many times. I thought that SURELY it must be good, but I am seriously questioning the people that line up to go there. My date and I ordered house drinks (a sangria and a margarita). They were just meh...not terrible, but not my favorite. The salsa and the sour cream were my favorite things I got from there. I ordered a plain white queso, and he ordered a queso with chorizo. I could not get more than a few bites into my queso before I just thought, this isn 't worth the calories. My date did not order anything else, but I decided to get the meal of 3 chicken hard tacos (what I get at most Mexican restaurants). The taco shells reminded me of great value, but they honestly were not bad--it was the chicken that was awful. I ate the first taco and thought it was okay (I was super hungry and had not really had much queso). I started on the second taco, and I could not finish it. I kept getting a boiled in dirty water taste from the meat. I tried the 3rd one just to make sure and same thing....i think my hunger masked how awful it was. So there I was, disappointed to say the least, and when we get the check, it was $52 (including a 20% tip). I would rather go to Taco Bell and spend $52 than go back. I decided not to complain about the food to them because it wasn 't just one thing--it was everything, and I 'm not sure what they can do to fix it. I hope they try so they can keep those lines, but at this rate, I can 't see it continuing to be successful.

We like the chips and salsa and the margaritas are good....several flavors are available. Great service. Typical Mexican decor.... Very colorful and premises are clean.

I 'm 25 years old and they refused to serve me alcohol because my id wouldn 't scan since it 's a Mississippi I 'd. Refused to look at my actual date of birth, and basically implied it was a fake. Don 't go here for a good time.

Yummy food, Great atmosphere!! Margaritas are so good. We love the service and the people. Check it out.
