Marisol's Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Georgetown

Best Mexican food in Georgetown. This place has been open about a week. Located in a strip mall, the interior decor is casual but nice. They don't have their liquor license yet, so for a limited time, the beer is free when you order an entree. The tortilla chips were mediocre, but that's my only complaint. They serve two complimentary salsas, mild and hot. I like medium heat, and the hot was a bit much for my liking, though my husband thought it was not that hot. The mild is, indeed, very mild. The salsas were good, but not exceptional. We started out with the espinaca con queso, a white queso with spinach. It's truly one of the best, if not the best, quesos I have had. We both loved it. My husband got the shrimp enchiladas with charro beans and rice on the side, and enjoyed it all. I got the pollo en crema, chicken in a garlic cream sauce with mushrooms and bacon, with refried beans and rice. It has a pepper next to it on the menu, indicating that it is spicy, but I would consider it only mildly spicy. But the taste--wow! Amazing. It tastes like a Mexican carbonara sauce. I am even more picky about the quality of my food than I am about the taste. The quality of both the chicken and the bacon was great, and the flavoring was incredible. My husband agreed. His meal was very good, but the pollo en crema is just exceptional, and something I've never seen before. The accompanying refried beans had a wonderful texture and taste too. The portions are generous, and we were both stuffed by the time we left. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife team, and we had a nice chat with her. They recently moved here after running a Mexican restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska for about 20 years. No doubt Anchorage was sad to see them go, but their loss is our gain. I was raised in Austin, and I have that Austinite pickiness when it comes to my Mexican food. They may not be from here, but Marisol's Mexican Grill is one of the best Mexican places I've eaten, and I'm looking forward to trying more items off their tempting menu. Now if they would just take my suggestion and serve breakfast...

here is what you need to know before coming to this place:

Best stuffed avocado in Central Texas thunder $20 you get a giant stuffed avocado with either fajita beef or fajita chicken enchilada rice beans and a bowl of queso!

also the chicken lecreme is off the charts good best darn sauce in the whole place but you have to order this dish to get it

unusual tips and salsa always ask for the salsa verde which is easily my favorite of all the sauces which they home make there

My personal favorite though would be the chile Colorado which is your best bag for the back under 20 bucks you get a bowl filled with beef chunks marinated and Mexican spices best serving size

as you can see me and my friends have come here many times to hang out watch football on their TVs enjoy food fellowship with lots of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options as well which they know me well and bring me hot water with lemons :)

they have meds and women's restrooms which they always keep clean

well it looks like a little bit of a hole in the wall that can accommodate quite a few people including large parties and families

customer service here is top notch and the owner herself with her husband are the sweetest folks you will ever meet :)

easily the best Mexican food and all of Georgetown and that's saying a lot and it's not necessarily Tex Mex but real like Mexican food like they even did a combination of pollo mole chicken breast meat with that chocolate sauce for me South American Mexican style and I could definitely tell you somebody who's a connoisseur of South American food of Mexican food it was as legit as you can find at all of Central Texas

highly recommend them!

family friendly with children seating and also handicap friendly with handicap options as well

also be sure to pay attention to their special of the week which they put on the board at the front at the entrance in the waiting area And I do have meals to go as well and to...

BEAUTIFUL Atmosphere. Our visit started out well, we were greeted and seated quickly. Our server was really sweet. We got the chori queso (the Monterrey melted in the skillet with chorizo) and it was FANTASTIC. The only problem was, there was a piece of mushroom in it which should not have been there, and my wife is allergic to them. She was able to get to her medicine in time though, and was fine. The server offered to get the manager to do something about it, but we told her it was okay, and we weren't looking for a discount or anything, we just want the manager to tell the chefs to be more careful. Then all the trouble started. The shrimp "fajitas for two" which costs nearly $45, were half the size and half the shrimp of a normal Mexican restaurants fajitas for one. Photo below for reference is what you get for $45. I complained to her about that, and she apologized, but after that, we didn't see her again until our food was almost gone. She did eventually come back and refill my drink and asked my wife if she wanted another bottled coke, but we were almost finished. I never received my tortillas, but by that time, I didn't bother saying anything. The fajitas were the blandest, least flavorful fajitas I've ever had, but my wife liked her shrimp cocktail. This restaurant has promise, but it's definitely not someplace I will ever return to to if you're going to rip off your customers and charge $45 for fajitas that barely felt like an appetizer. The queso was more filling. Also my wife got twice the amount of shrimp in her cocktail that I got in my fajitas which costed twice as much. Get it...
