I have eaten at this restaurant since 1969. It was first on Hardy Street. It has moved twice since. The original owner (Mr. Garcia?) had unbelievable , awesome, fabulous food. He moved with the restaurant to its present location. When his daughter took it over, the whole thing went down. I don’t know what it is with these young ones. I could go into what has suffered but why? I still go infrequently out of nostalgia and , I suppose, hope. The retro Mexican Kitchen will never be beat for food!

Never had a refried bean taco until I ate there. No meat just beans on it. I won't go back.

This place used to have pretty good food. Not anymore. The dip is nothing close to what it used to be. The quesdillas only had one piece of chicken on one of the slices and they used cheddar chesse instead of white cheese.

DELICIOUS! Ordered a small plate today - no enchilada - sub extra taco, and it was so good!! If you’ve never eaten at The Mexican Kitchen in Hattiesburg, MS, you should! Been a Hattiesburg go-to of our family since the 80’s! Only only only order a small, medium, or large plate. Period. And just know, you’ll either love it or hate it - no in between. We happen to love it!!

I would give a full review if they were actually open for business. It was a Saturday Night @7:15pm. They were closed, yet no indication before arriving that they would be closed. I won't return.
This place is gross and dirty and filthy and dusty and the carpet is old and stained. The food looks and smells disgusting. No one in the kitchen wears gloves, and I've personally witness Linda pull a hair off a plate and send it out. They recycle the pitchers of water from the previous day and wash the dishes with laundry detergent. Not the mention I'm sure they've never cleaned that I've machine. DO NOT EAT HERE.
