“ We are visiting from East Tennessee and have passed this place evey year we come out. Today we stopped and were so happy we did. The service is good. A mixup with our drink order twice and lack of the bill at the end is why 4 stars. But the food came out fast and hot. Everything was delicious. The salsa and chips were perfect. Mild heat to the salsa. I had the chicken broccoli which came with beef. And shrimp too! It was too much food for 1 person. My husband had the cancun burrito. Our server was very nice, but the drink and refill came as diet. Otherwise great service. ”
“ We loved the food, it's very good. The service was just a bit slow to take our order. Kitchen did pretty good at getting our order turned around. We will definitely be back! ”
“ I rarely give 5 star reviews but this place deserves it! My husband loves Mexican food, I however don’t as much. I could change my mind with this place! The guacamole was huge chunks of avocado, and very fresh, salsa and cheese dip great! Glad we decided to split a burrito, it was massive. This will be a regular stop when coming through to visit our grandson. Ohhhh I almost forgot... the large beer is huge! My margarita was very good. Definitely a must try! ”
“ This has been my go-to spot since I tried it a couple of years ago. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food comes out good most of the time but can be a bit salty occasionally. I'm very satisfied every time I go and haven't had a bad experience the many times I've been. I would definitely recommend to try. Also this is one of the few places in the area that horchata and jimica (hibiscus) agua fresas are available. Unlimited refills as well. ”
“ Traveling the USA. Found this wonderful Mexican restaurant. It is now one of our favorites. Service was speedy and great and the food was excellent. The chips were thin and salsa not too spicy. Had the chicken/beef quesadillas and the chicken fajita enchilada. Too much to eat in one sitting. Saw a lot of carry out boxes. Highly recommend eating here if in the area...well worth your time. We will be back. ”
“ My husband and I have visited this restaurant every week or two weeks since we started dating in 2017. And we couldn’t be happier to support our favorite restaurant. The people that work there are incredibly friendly and fast. I’ve only had an incorrect order come out once, because of my own mistake. We tell all of our friends and family to eat here with us because the food is by far superior to any Mexican restaurant in a 100mi radius. I’ll even double down and say that even when we went on our honeymoon at a resort in the Dominican Republic, we were upset because none of the Mexican food tasted anywhere near as fresh, home-cooked and filling as El Napolito. We had withdrawals Can’t emphasize enough how good this restaurant is. Nothing I’ve tried on the menu ever disappoints and it makes me super happy to support a business with such friendly faces If you go to Sikeston and don’t try their food, you’re severely missing out. Like a lot. ”
“ The salsa was good, not too much cilantro. The chips are so thin and delicious. Not loaded with salt. Taco salad with shredded chicken was good, but the chicken needed more seasoning. Taco shell was light and fluffy. So far this has been the best I've tried here. ”
“ Stopped here on a late Sunday afternoon after discovering that the nearby Lambert’s had a 1.5 hour wait on a 100 degree day. The food here is really good. We had the chorizo queso for an appetizer and it was exceptionally good. The chips had a nice light texture and flavor. Not too heavy. We also liked the salsa. I tried the pineapple fajitas that came with bacon and several other meats and it was delicious. Probably some of the best fajitas I have ever had. My wife had a steak fajita and son had a huge quesadilla and they thoroughly enjoyed theirs as well. Very convenient to I-55. Definitely worth the extra few miles to get to from US-60. Would definitely recommend. I wish we had this close to our home. ”
