El volcan mexican bar & grill — Restaurant in Petal

It's a small lil hole in the wall. But the food there is purely amazing and is as close to authentic without going across the border. The cook actually does come out when he isn't busy to check on customers and see how their food was. Their horchata is made in house and is a definite grab when you come in. The chorizo is a handed down recipe from 3 generations.
