When I moved to Knoxville and asked people about Mexican food this it where I was usually pointed. First of all, there is no flavor to anything. Everything tastes the same because it is some combination of browned beef (no seasonings), red sauce that tastes like pureed stewed tomatos, tortillas and jack cheese. My combo platter was to include "chili con queso", by deduction and a confused waiter we can only assume this meant "tostada shell with thin layer of melted jack". Queso? Yes. Chili? No. Chili con Queso? Not even close. To substitute beans instead of beef is an extra charge!? It makes me worry about there beef. No cumin, no paprika, no cheddar, no sour cream, bland salsa, bland food. I went back to a friend that recommended it and he said, "But it's cheap." How much is sanity worth these days?

The ice cream is great, but it is the Sunday brunch that makes this place a must try. Everything is very good with the Crab Cakes Benedict (two crab cakes topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce) being a personal favorite. The waffles, gingerbread pancakes, and monte christo are all very good. They also have a dish that is cinnamon apples and raisens stuffed into a croissant and topped with whipped cream and nuts that is worth a try. What more, every side dish is great: mini potato cakes, sweet potato fries, cheese grits and steamed veggies are all good. The only thing I probably won't have again are the sausage links, but that's mostly personal preference. The service has always been outstanding.

As more and more restaurants go smoke-free, it really stands out when one is laid out like this. You have to walk through the bar area to get to the sitting area and the smoke permeates the place. If you make it past that, the food is pretty good. I'm used to tex-mex, so the differences stand out and this seems almost California-Mexican: blue corn, mushrooms, seafood. That's not a bad thing as long as you know what you are in for. Good service and salsa and a world better than El Charro. I missed it the first time I went looking. It's in the corner of the Barnes & Noble strip mall for you first-timers.

Everything I've had is really good here. If this is your first time, get the Mezza. It's a great appetizer for the whole table and has a good sampling of the different cold dishes. The meats are all very good as well...lamb, beef, sausage, and especially he chicken..mmmmm... Also worth mentioning is the spinach and cheese bread/pocket (I can't remember most of the names of the foods...I order by description). Take a few friends and go hungry. Order the Mezza, a meat combo plate or two, and a spinach cheese bread...and everyone share!

The ribs were extremely tender and just the right amount of spicy. The Portobello Steak is a must-try for mushroom lovers! Everything was great from the atmosphere to the service.

When you go in, be sure to take a look at their special pizza of the day...I was not disappointed!! This was pizza that made me sad when I was full, because I couldn't eat any more.

We were lucky enough to have the most delightful waitress in New Mexico serve us breakfast. You'll know who I'm talking about if you've ever eaten there while she was working. The food was great too! I had my very first chili relleno omelet and now I wish I could get those where I live. We meant to go back for lunch but ran out of time. Very enjoyable experience

I am going to have to whole-heartedly agree with the other reviewer. The lunch portions were very big and the food was great! I had the roast beef burrito and a seafood enchilada. The burrito was strange, because roast beef isn't a typical ingredient, but I was pleasantly surprised. The seafood enchilada was superb...not sure how I would be able to try other things on the menu when I would need to get the seafood enchilada every time too!

I guess for a French restaurant to be authentic the wait-staff has to be a bit snooty? We just went in for crepes, though...maybe if we were there to eat a full-blown meal we would have been treated better. It felt like a meal, though, with each crepe costing about $7. I know that it's not out-rageous, but it's not cheap either. I also made the mistake of wanting water...it came out in what was little more than a shot-glass. I would have been willing to pay a little more and get three or even swallows worth. Don't bother waiting for the bill, takes too long. the crepes were good but not worth the hassle.

Everything a tried was excellent. The chili relleno, enchiladas, and quesadillas were all outstanding. The highlghts though are the salsas. With an entre, you get to sample 8 (maybe 10) different salsas like Apple Curry, Santa Fe, Artichoke Heart, Roasted Garlic, and Mango. They are all good, but I grew quite fond of the Mango and a half-half mixture of the Santa Fe & Roasted Garlic. The chips are a bit salty, but if you pile on the great salsas, you'll barely notice.

A Chili's like any other, nothing really stands out. Fortunately, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. What prompted me to review is their new boneless buffalo wings. VERY NICE!! Here's what you do...order the Mombo Combo and have them switch-out regular wings for the boneless ones. Sweet sweet combo! Southwest eggrolls and chicken tenders round it out perfectly. (Also recommend: chili's cheesesteak)

This is as good as Mexican food gets in Baton Rouge. Not the most authentic, but that's not really why everyone is there, now is it? The salsa is good, atmosphere is better, and the time spent hanging out with friends is the best. Side note: my favorite place to grab matches from on my way out.

Be sure to get the spicy Caesar salad...if you get the small, side one it's big enough and strong enough to two people. It definitely became a bit more up-scale when they moved to the end of the building. It also got a lot more crowded as news has spread. Get there early. All of their pizzas are great and made with the best, freshest toppings. These pizzas even reheat as leftovers really well, so order it as big as you can and take the rest home.

i agree with the reviewer who mentioned the sampler. that's definitely my pick. i don't remember if they call it by kibbi or a kubi, but their's is great, with just a hint of cinnamon in the shell/crust. very tasty! last comment: if they roll it in a leaf...i'll take a dozen!!

It's the pasta versions of all your favorite foods!! I especially enjoy the Jambalaya Pasta. The portions are very large, which makes the price a bit better when you can get another meal out of the leftovers. I would also like to applaud them for not going overboard on atmosphere-clutter like most places seem to be forcing on us these days. every positive comment for this place is appropriately directed at the food.

The key difference between this place and every other mediterranean restaurant in baton rouge is the elegance. if you are in the mood for fine dining or want to impress somebody AND you have a craving for greek and greek-related cuisine, this is the only place to visit. (be sure to check out calandro's supermarket across the street afterward.) serop's is a must try...over and over again.

i am NUTS ABOUT MUSHROOMS!! that's my favorite when i come here. i can't review this without also mentioning the mushroom ravioli served on baby spinach (can't remember what it's called and not positive they still offer it). get the flat bread appetizer, well worth the inexpensive price. if you like feta and marinara, their combination of the two for dipping the bread in is a special treat. have also heard great things about their fettucini alfredo from the most knowledgable alfredo connoisseur i know!

the deep-dish was pretty good, but not quite enough flavor to pull it into the ranks of "the best". tried a pepperoni with wheat crust and a barbeque chicken with white crust. The best part was that the chicken was fajita-cut chunks, not shredded or cubed bits without texture. both pizzas needed a little more cheese. speaking of cheese, the cheese-bread was TERRIFIC!! do not order it if you are grease-shy...it is very buttery and garlicy! overall, very good pizza for the money and a nice atmosphere to compliment the food...take a few friends and squeeze into a booth.

Tired of the chains that serve the don't-want-to-offend-anyone-so-we'll-bland-it-down-to-the-lowest-common-denominator hot-sauce? Tired of having the specially-marked "healthy choices" because you feel guilty for not ordering them? Tired of rising prices and shrinking quantities? THIS is the place for you..where the hot sauce is perfect, the food is bad for you but too good to care, the prices are more than reasonable AND they fill those plates full!!! come as you are and leave a believer.

The last time I was there...escargot and artichoke heart pizza! sweet sweet SWEET!! get the appetizer of calamari...they are sauteed, not fried to death. GOURMET pizza at it's absolute best!!
