I ordered a fajita chicken burrito with beans and rice and also a large chips and salsa. Added a small side of green salsa to go with my burrito. My total was $22. It took less than 10 minutes. I actually received a steak fajita burrito but I wasn’t upset about it as this is the first time they have ever messed up on my order. It was delicious! They’re chips and salsa are always fresh and delicious! The staff are always friendly! I enjoy this place alot! If you havent been here yet theyre deffinately worth a try!

Please give this place your business. If you are tired of the same old TexMex food they call Mexican food, then get this place on your list of must visits. Authenticity, freshness, flavorlicious!

If you want to eat authentic Mexican tacos, quesadillas, tortas, queso fundido, charro beans you have to go to Taqueria el Melón in DeRidder, Lousiana.

Terrific food,especially the authentic Mexican street tacos, with carne asada, and accompaniments. Drive thru, but not fast food.

Great experience here! The food was authentic, which I love! The barbacoa was on point. I havent found barbacoa this good anywhere in the state of Louisiana. I look forward to going back.

You wouldn’t expect the quality and authenticity of the food by looking at the building. Tacos were good, tamale was excellent, quasadila was good but a little soggy. Sauces and guacamole were good as well. Chips were from a bag tho. Do not expect a full dining room, there isn’t one… seating area is covered but it’s small. Good stop for a quick bite.

I want to love this place, but both times we have tried it, we were disappointed with something.
