Don Aquas Mexican Grill, Horn Lake, MS

Don Aquas

Don Aquas is a new Mexican restaurant in Horn Lake on Goodman Road a little west of Highway 51 where El Charro used to be. I went there a few weeks ago for dinner and it was good.

It wasn't anything spectacular but it was good Mexican food. The prices were reasonable for what I got, about the same as most other Mexican places and I definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla with rice and beans.

They don't seem to have a website yet.

The Seafood Shack is a casual full serve restaurant in Marion just off Highway 64 and just west of I-55. I've been to a Mexican buffet right near it a few times and noticed it and put it on my list.

I went there last for dinner with a friend of mine and was impressed. The prices are reasonable and the food was good. I ordered the seafood combo basket which is a choice of three items and a side of fries. I got tilapia, catfish, and shrimp. Everything was fresh and tasted good.

My friend got gator bites and gumbo and he said his food was good too. I don't know how much his bill was but mine was around $35 which was very reasonable for what I got.

If you're in the area I recommend giving them a try!

The Social is a small burger restaurant and bar on Grove Street a couple of blocks north of Levee Street which runs parallel to the Yazoo River in downtown Vicksburg. I was there a few weeks ago with a friend and we stopped in for dinner.

I ordered a blue cheese bacon burger and mac and cheese and it was very good. I don't remember what my friend ordered but she said her burger was very good also.

The prices were reasonable for what we got. If you're in the area I recommend trying them!



 

The Biscuit, Vicksburg, MS

The Biscuit is an American restaurant in downtown Vicksburg on Grove Street just north of Levee Street which runs parallel to the Yazoo River. It seems to be marketed as a breakfast restaurant but they several lunch and dinner also. I was in Vicksburg a few weeks ago and stopped there for lunch.

I ordered a catfish and shrimp entree and a lobster queso appetizer. The food was all very good but the lobster queso was great!

I don't really remember how much the bill was but it wasn't overly expensive. It seems like for everything it was around $40 which wasn't bad for what I got.

If you're in the area I highly recommend it. It's noteworthy to mention that they are not open on Wednesday. I was back in the area a few days later and went there with a friend but we had to go somewhere else.
