Good food- I had the roast beef with gravy sandwich- beef was tender, good bread and gravy! GET had tamales- yes they are small the order is SIX tamales. He loves tamales & loved these! Friendly service and love the colorful ambiance!
We were grateful to be allowed inside for lunch with our pup (he's small,the time of the day seemed to be relatively slow and it was pretty windy for a patio outside). Everybody loved our dog! And we were super appreciative of quick and efficient service,quirky interior and satisfying food. Feels a bit more like a fast food place,but definitely satisfying and the ingredients aren't cheap. Thumps up and puppy-approved !
Very good tamales. Try the Gringo Tamales covered in chilly, onions and jalapeños. Try the margaritas also.
I came for the tamales. Being from New Mexico I have had many tamales, but in the style where they are steamed in the husk. These delta style tamales are different in that they are boiled, smaller, and a little more spicy. I ordered the gringo pie, 3 tamales covered with Texas style chili, cheese, and onions. Although not as good as the tamales back home( I am biased of course) these delta style ones are addictive! I will definitely be back the next time I pass through.
We make a point to visit FMT every time we come to Natchez. I always order the gringo pie (tamales covered in chili, cheese and onions). And it's always good. Servers are always friendly and happy to help out with choices. Not sure what the building used to be, but like most of the places in downtown Natchez it's filled with decor from the old days. I wouldn't wear a suit to eat here. You'll look out of place even more than usual. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because I collect their 22 oz plastic cups every year when I come to town...but they were out of stock on the day I visited. Bummer! Maybe you can get one when you go!
When in Natchez, I always get a gringo to go to eat when I get home. When I'm not driving, I get a Knock You Naked Margarita. The perfect combo!!
Good food, fast kitchen and delicious margaritas! Nice patio when it's not too hot but they do have fans
Good food great patio. when we go to Natchez we always stop by. They have good margaritas also.
Quick friendly service, great food and a cool vibe. FYI though they do not serve tamales all day. We waited until noon even though they opened at 11 but the tamales wouldn't be available for a couple hours. We got regular nachos to snack on until we came back. They were ehh. The tamales and gringo pie were so good when we finally got them though!!!
