  Great.. !!!! Worth the drive from Monticello- this is a real Mexican restaurant- not a sit down Taco Bell.
  Staff friendly , food was fast and hot.. And yummy " brown" salsa
  Love it!

  Wowie! Who knew such a fine Mexican restaurant was in Jackson. Great service and the Molcajito (or whatever the big lava bowl of awesome  meats and shrimp and cactus is called) and carnitas are fabulouso. If you're in the area, go.

  I've been going here to eat ever since they opened and have NEVER been treated poorly. The food is awesome, the staff is awesome, the drinks are awesome! What more could you ask for?
  
  There is always the setback that you're bound to see some less than desirable people because of the location, but that's expected in this town, and not the restaurant's fault.
  
  I highly recommend the chicken fajita nachos. They're my favorite!

  Fairly typical good Tex-Mex.  Chips are greasy, but if you ask for nacho chips, they will bring you some better, less greasy, thicker chips.  We go there repeatedly, it's your typical Tex-Mex.

  Nice place in downtown Jackson. Actually this little gem is spot on from service to food. Had the Mesquite Chicken Burrito on their lunch menu. Huge portion! Rice and beans were hot and ready. The burrito was packed!
  
  Server was a young local fellow, bilingual with the rest of the staff and very good.
  
  So if you ever in Jackson (nice little town by the way) then stop by for a bite at the Mesquite!
  
  Oh yes! Beware of those darn chips! You start you will not stop!

  This place is packed every time the bf and I drive by.
  It was very tasty. :) We shared the steak fajitas and enjoyed every bite. Hot steak.. lots of tortilla shells. :)
  Very attentive servers.

  Not too many people live in or make it a habit of going to Jackson to eat that would probably ever see this review....but had to share my thoughts about my experience at this nice, clean, friendly, and yummy Mexican eatery.  Besides the expected waffle house and dairy queen franchises and fast food establishments, if you are looking for locally owned in Jackson GA, you'll find one Chinese restaurant, one steak house, one country breakfast/lunch spot and one Italian restaurant....and Mesquite Mexican grill.   The main highway that cuts from Griffin, across I75 through Jackson to parts unknown East and West of those GA metropolises, is Hwy Route 16.  So if you find yourself near this quaint small town and are looking for a good place to eat, then visit Mesquite Grill.  The salsa is fresh, but a little bland.....after all- this is Jackson, GA.  Chips are crisp.  Many selections on the menu from typical combos to house specialties.  A good variety of chicken, steak & seafood.  I got Jefe's Choice.   A deliciously seasoned skirt steak...kind you would have in a fajita but not already cut up, and a chili releno, came with a side of rice and beans.   Chili releno was the full pablano pepper, but again, not very spicy.  Steak was flavorful.  But the real test was the rice and beans.  90% of the Mexican restaurants I eat at have dry rice and mediocre beans.  Not here.  Rice was moist....didn't even need to put salsa on it, and beans had that unique flavor you get when someone who knows how to make refried beans from scratch and not taste like a bunch of pasty beans.  Topped with the white cheese.  I cleaned my plate and that doesn't happen all the time.   After you eat, take a stroll around the square and peek in the windows of the local shops.  But buyer beware....everything but the restaurants close at 6.
