El Kiosco Mexican Restaurant

I met up with my friend, and this was his pick as I have never been here. The place was so pretty and decorated so nice. We got seated immediately for lunchtime. There was lots to choose from, and the mango alcoholic drink that's in the picture was so freaking delicious, lol. I forgot the name. We ordered and didn't have to wait too long for our food. Everything was yummy and tasty. It cooked perfect. I ordered the chilaquiles, which normally has an egg and steak in it, but here they don't and charge you for them, which to me is ridiculous. It was ok, but I'm not a fan of it being small. The waitress did forget my esquite, but we just got it to go, so no worries. We had a great experience and wouldn't mind coming back, especially for that mango beverage.

No complaints about the food my family was served. It was pretty good. However, I was disappointed to find out that my margarita cup wasn't free. 😭 The server mentioned that I wouldn't be getting the regular margarita glass and pointed to the cup and asked if it was okay. I could be wrong but it didn't appear to hold the same amount (less). I didn't ask or complain because I thought the cup was included. I should have confirmed but I did not (and thats on me). I had a nice gentleman follow me out the restuarant to acquire the cup I walked out with. Don't yall do like me! 😂 Make sure to ask! I was told that they are available for purchase but I didnt feel like standing in the long line that was forming at the door. As a military member I collect mugs/cups, so I'll likely return to purchase one.

My Wife thoroughly enjoys the cuisine offered by El Kiosco and I like to make her happy. The service is friendly and professional. Food is brought out quickly after ordered . The decor sets the atmosphere of a Latin American establishment . Hand crafted custom made booths are roomy for parties of four and some accommodate more patrons. Complementary chips and salsa are brought to every table before orders are taken by the wait staff. The menu is vast covering beef, chicken, pork and seafood entrées. Soups, salads and appetizers are also optional selections that will excite a person's palate to prepare for their main course of authentic Mexican cuisine . The bar offers a wide range of adult beverages including beer and hard liquor. Of course Margaritas are often sought-after at this place. Yes, prices for food and beverages are fairly easy on the wallet for most incomes and there are many selections available to suit those who a budget conscious. For the most part my visits to E lKiosco are enjoyable and l appreciate the sincere appreciation demonstrated by the wait staff. I will say tonight, the patrons sitting in the booth next to us seemed to feel it was necessary to speak as if their conversation was taking place at a football stadium during the game. Additionally, their dialog included metaphors and expressions more suitable for men's lockerroom banter rather than what you'd expect at a family restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. No, I did complain. We ate our food paid a bill and left a generous cash tip. Yes. I recommend this place. It is a gem in Grovetown.

The food was good. Standard American Mexican cuisine. Although my normally picky 85 year old Aunt commented several times how good her beef enchilada was. And my taco salad was also tasty. The ONLY issue we had was how loud the place was. You could not have a normal conversation. I do realize the ceilings were high and the atmosphere is a fun vibe. Just putting a warning out for us older folks who enjoy a little talk while dining. 😉

Honestly, it's gone down hill a bit. It's service is average. Food can really be hit or miss. I don't recommend any fish or seafood. It's frozen and extremely fishy smelling. You can tell when the oil was last cleaned out. The meat sometimes is overly dry. The consistency just isn't there for the price.
