Durango Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Opelika

We went to Durango for lunch today, 1 o’clock on a Sunday, and the food was sooo good. The strawberry daiquiri was great, the steak fajitas were marinated and came with a lime wedge which I thought was a nice addition. We usually go to the place across from Sam’s but their steak is sliced so thin and not flavorful at all, so this was such a pleasant surprise. The chips were warm and not paper thin which we loved. My husband’s plate was clean at the end and he said the pico de gallo on top of his burrito verde was really good, and he usually hates tomatoes! So we were both pretty shocked. We only had to wait a few minutes after we were done for the server to come back so we were glad since sometimes that can be super frustrating to wait for when you’re ready to leave. The service was great, everyone was very nice, even the server assistant that offered us more chips when we were low. Plus the music was pleasant and relaxing, not too loud, and it wasn’t freezing cold inside like some places. So overall a great experience and it’s now our go-to spot for Mexican.

Edit- we went again recently around 2:30 on a Saturday and no one else was in there (of course)… but the food was STILL spot on! Consistent, clean, friendly, speedy, delicious! I mean really, what more can...

First time here. Dinner with the fam. Cheese dip to start was good. $7 for the large. My wife ordered the Texas fajitas, but the waiter failed to write the order down correctly and it came with green peppers, which through the taste off for her. She gave them a B- Shrimp was over cooked, but the chicken was great. My son got a chicken dish with Mexican rice. His chicken was good, his rice was very dry. My dish with the skirt steak was great. Except again the waiter failed to write down, no green peppers. (We don’t like green peppers). All in all an average meal. Other than getting the green peppers wrong on the orders, the waiter was solid. Good pace on drinks and...

Most everything is pretty good here, however, beware that some of your typical meals are not the same as most other Mexican restaurants such as I have ordered a shrimp quesadilla many times other places and always the same....always made the same as steak or chicken just shrimp instead so cheese peppers onions is what I am expecting instead no peppers and onions but spinach and mushrooms a lot thicker cheese than i am used to....almost seemed like velveeta like that consistency but white. Just different and a couple other dishes just seemed a little different from...
