El Desperados Mexican Grill Restaurant Reviews

Visited with daughter and son-in-law for brunch. Warm, southern hospitality with southern cuisine.
Highly recommend.

OMG! The peach biscuits are to die for. The staff is so friendly.

Omg I went here for breakfast this morning and their service was excellent and so was the food. I had the French toast with eggs, back and pepper jack grits. It is a must try .

Went on a Sunday and the food was satisfying but the wait times are extreme so eat a snack before you go..definitely has potential

Best food in town the egg Benedict with crab cake was to die for it was like a food explosion in your mouth the hash browns amazing never had bad service or bad taste in food if i ever move out of town the only reason i would come back is just for there food

The Grits are the best you have ever eaten. Everyone there are very sweet and nice.

Most excellent first experience! Great food, huge portions, and all the staff were kind and helpful. We will most definitely be returning for more. The collard green egg rolls and pepper jack grits are amazing! Y all please stop by and give them a try. Thank you to all at Southern Fusion for making Friday date night extra special.

Food is divine... friendly staff... nice delicious slow food nothing process and you can taste the quality and love in every dish

Awesome food, awesome service. One of my favorite places to eat, definitely a gem in Locust Grove.

The catfish and grits were really good. The pepper jack grits were creamy. The catfish was sesaoned and cooked well. The fried peach biscuits were also delicios with the cinnamon butter...but the biscuits could've hade more peaches but still delicious. The mixed greens were good and had good seasoning and flavor. I want to visit for breakfast next...a must try!

Went today had some dirty chips with salmon and some banana pudding cheesecake. I like places like these, that have menus with different things on them for me to step outside the box. Last time my husband and i had the collard green egg rolls (uniquely good) . If you are in the area i would recommend that you try them out.

The chef is, well, heavenly and the food and service devine. Thank you for bringing such a quaint dining opportunity to our neighborhood.

Food is great if you have all afternoon to wait for it.

Love this place the great customer service & amazing food!

Excellent! Service was fantastic, and food was amazing!

Went here for breakfast with my wife for something different and nice. We were amazed at the large menu and the great service we received. All the staff we interacted with were very nice and friendly. The food was awesome I had the sausage quiche and hashbrowns. The quiche was delicious and had lots of flavor same with the hashbrowns. My wife had the the egg breakfast with bacon, hashbrowns, and toast. The bacon was like candy and had been fried or coated with honey which was delicious. We left with full stomachs and a great experience. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

We were given complementary peach biscuits (deep fried, hush-puppy size, sprinkled with powdered sugar), served with honey butter, while we were waiting. Worth the trip just for those. I had the "Dirty Chips," made with what looked like in house potato chips covered with pulled BBQ pork, melted cheese, and BBQ sauce. I ate the top layer and expected it to be just chips, but the pork was layered within the chips. Couldn't eat it all. Great service. Maybe two miles off I-75, but well worth the drive.

We had the wedding rehearsal for our son and his new bride. Southern Fusion catered the meal. Cheryl and Chef Paul made sure everything was perfect. The Roast Beef was cooked just right as well as the savory chicken. Still can t say enough good about the Peach Cobbler. And the amount of food....Southern Fusion did very right on the amount. While most went back for seconds, some even third helpings. My wife and I highly recommend this restaurant as your venue for a date, small group, or large party.

Can't say enough about it! Great breakfast, great service, very nice little restaurant. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER CONSUMED THUS FAR!! The cafe is quietly tucked away and is a bit difficult to find, so I called and the owner directed me via phone to the location AND waited outside for me and walked inside with me!!! AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WONDERFUL SCRUMPTIOUS FOOD!!!! When you go, you will LEAVE FULL AND HAPPY! Great prices!! Even better FOOD!!!

Great food! Great Service! Definitely coming back :)

Fantastic food. We had our if town visitors and they loved it!! Food and service A+

Good food, great service. Prices are reasonable. Brisket open face sandwich is yummy.

It s such a nice a place if you just want a calm meal and you won t have to worry about finding new food because they change the menu every day. Sure it s small but it makes you feel easy like a Sunday morning.

Outstanding Service and Food Portions were enormous.

This is the most amazing place to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The collard green eggrolls are BOMB and to die for. And the service and love is as soon as you come through the door. I know that I am family now.

I've yet to have anything bad here. And the wait staff is world class. I had a bad cup of coffee and they made more and replaced the whole tables cups with fresh within minutes.

Very good food and service will be going back soon.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. The experience was HORRIBLE!!! I visited on my lunch break which is an hour long and I arrived promptly at 11:46. The service was nice but when it came to my order I had to wait about an hour for a medium salmon burger and fries. The worst part was an older lady arrive about 20 mins after me and ordered the same thing. She got her food before I did and when I address the waitress about this she stated my order was ready they were waiting on my coworkers order. So you tell me..........my food is getting cold while you finish fixing another order. After the waitress addressed the cook me and my coworker could hear the cook getting upset and raising her voice at the server. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had at a restaurant. And as a former food server and owner of a restaurant "a medium salmon burger" does not take over 30 mins to cook. I will not be visiting this place again :(

OMG!! The food is so delicious. I will definitely return soon.

Little patch of heaven for breakfast. Cinnamon rolls and biscuits are huge! I had an omelette and it was so tasty. Coffee is good too.

For a local breakfast spot, this place can't be beat. The pepper jack grits are phenomenal. Not a chain, all homemade from scratch.

This place is amazing. We had savory pork rolls, the eggrolls, and the special for dinner. There's definitely fusion, but it's very subtle but makes the meal that much better.

Hidden gem that YOU need to try. You will return.

Food was pretty good overall. Place is a bit small and service could be quicker.

Quaint little restaurant, and the food is delicious! Great customer service and bang for your buck.

So good!! My hubs suggested it and I said ok. Best decision. The biacuits are huge and amazing. Best bacon ever!! And the staff is friendly and amazing. We will go back!

Enjoyed a great meal and the wait staff was fantastic

First time visit, the food and service was awesome.

I can't stop raving about this beautiful surprise!!! Everything we have tried has been A-1. Service is excellent!

The best southern food I ve tasted in a long time! Highly recommend the atmosphere was wonderful. Fast service!

Wow! Found this accidentally and will now be my go-to cafe!

Omahgawd! This food though???? On point! I thought I died and went to heaven.... literally. Grits good af! The catfish!!!!!!! Lawwwddddd! And the service?!? Jesus Christ !!!!! 50 stars if I could! I m so stuffed! The price is great. I need a part time job just for the fee food!!!!

very nice place to eat good food large amounts also

Amazing food. Not for anyone in a rush, everything is cooked to order. Service was very friendly.

It s called heaven cafe, but I felt like I was in purgatory waiting for our order. Took an hour and a half to get our food and we only got an explanation for the wait when we asked. They did give us half off the check. The food was average, however the bacon was great. Less like being in heaven, more like sitting through a long sermon.

Great food the grits were perfect. And the owner's are amazing.

Family of 6. Everyone loved their breakfast. Fried chicken, waffles, bacon, and biscuits and gravy! Everything homemade tasty!

Friendly service and delicious food. I had the eggs Benedict, which was amazing!

Service is good sc o far. I have not gotten my food yet. Will

First time but not the last. Pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was delicious. Grits was awesome!

Food was great for small town eating! The wait was a little long unnecessarily!

Visited the location on Father's Day because my past experiences were great. However, my most recent experience was a waste of time. If it wasn't for our wonderful waiter, Ms. Donna, we would have probably left. Waited about 45 minutes for our food. Our food was not hot at all, just warm, as if it had been sitting under a light or something. Doubt I'll return back, but if you catch them on a good day and order the right thing then you may have a good experience.

It was busy, but they managed to seat us promptly which we appreciated!

The service and food was good.

I wanted to try the frittata with the chicken sausage, but they were out.

They did have regular chicken sausage, but the frittata is premade I guess so they didn't have any more in that form.

I would go back.

Excellent food, fantastic service. Collard green egg rolls appetizer and philly cheese steak meals (one chicken, one beef) were amazing!

We stumbled on to this restaurant by chance and decided to give it a try. We love to patronize private owned eateries because typically you get quality food with creative attributes and better service. Southern Fusion surpassed our expectations. The food was outstanding with ample portions, the service an A+, and the guy singing was soothing. Highly recommend this local eatery. We will definently be going back.

Nice little place, chicken was over cooked but otherwise good food but don't be in a hurry, it takes a while to get your food

Amazing food and service! Awesome staff. Tiffanie was great. Very patient and friendly.

I absolutely love Southern Fusion. The location is local and the restaurant is quaint. The service is great and the food is amazing. No complaints here.

Absolutely amazing! Best breakfast I've had. Hands down. I had the chicken and waffles and my bf had an omelet with a side of pepper jack grits. Worth every penny and then some.

Just enjoyed our our first visit so much we came back right away. The second visit didn't end so well. They were crowded and said they had to close to the public soon because someone had rented the whole thing for a dinner! They serve country cooking but a healthier version. It's now on our permanent rotation.

Celebrated my Son's birthday here 4/8/17 Breakfast here is incredible you must try the pepper jack grits OMG!!! & Cinnabon has nothing on here cinnamon roll please try this restaurant it will truly bless your life

Ok, the pepper jack grits were AMAZING!! Our food arrived quickly, and the customer service was outstanding. We will DEFINITELY patron again!

My first experience was not a good one. The waitress told me it would be a 15 min wait and it ended up being a 45 min wait.the cooks in the back was getting an attitude bc I wanted to know what the hold up was. When I finally got my food the shrimp was not all the way cook and u get 5 baby shrimp with a lot of grits for $14 which is ridiculous. The chicken and waffles where ok the chicken could ve cook a little bit longer but when we got home we pop it in the oven.

Great food and service. I had the shrimp and grits with mixed greens...without question the best I've ever had.

The shrimp and grits were AMAZING!!! I also tried the buttermilk biscuits. They are large and DELICIOUS! The service was on par with the food. It's definitely worth the drive

Great experience at this location. Waitress very professional. Food was excellent...more like a fine dinning type food and service. Very clean location, women's bathroom was emmaculant.

Cool....pancakes a little overdone but good overall

The service and food was fantastic!! The wait is a little bit,,,but not bad considering its being cooked fresh!! Must visit again,,,,

The shrimp and grits are off the hook! The change in ownership or management means half the menu isn t available on Sunday and prices went up.

It's a cute little breakfast/brunch place. You can reserve tables here. Plenty of parking. The staff is super friendly. They are so nice! Food is pretty good. I felt like it was a bit pricey for breakfast food, hence the 4 star instead of 5. Clean bathroom. The specialty omelettes are pretty good. Frittata's probably the best thing on their menu.

Best breakfast place I've been to in the past decade. Ask for the chicken and waffles. Thank me later.
