What a gem! We had never been to Dell Rapids before so we turned left on a Sunday afternoon. Lucky for us El Mescal is there. The atmosphere is clean and nicely decorated. There’s a full liquor bar and lots of table seating. Both the Shrimp Chimichanga and Beef Mole were delicious. As usual, we ate too much but it was worth it. We had great service too. We will certainly return when in town.

Awesome family-owned business serving great Mexican food. Incredible atmosphere in the old opera house. Very highly recommended local place to eat.

We came to Dell Rapids knowing it was a small town and we were looking for just that. We travel full time, and our favorite type of food is Mexican, and we try to find the best place around. This town is super small, with only a few options for dining out. Sioux Falls being the closest city, about 30 mins away. Thankfully, we found this place right down the street. Excellent food and service and the restaurant is very cute and fits in with the town quite well. We visited several times over our month long stay at the campground and had the enchiladas, tacos, arroz con Pollo and shrimp tacos. All were perfectly prepared.

1st time eating here. Very nice and clean Mexican restaurant in the historic Dell Rapids Opera House in downtown Dell Rapids, SD. The food was delicious ! Ground beef taco salad, pork tamal, and carnitas de pollo. Wonderful service. Really neat old hardwood bar. Restrooms were very clean and well maintained. We will be back!

Outstanding service, great food and by far one of the best Mexican restaurants to open in south east South Dakota. I am Celiac and need a Gluten Free diet, the menu clearly indicates GF dishes. If you request they will make adjustments to the meals. Go and enjoy, we will keep this hideout on our A-List. Dell Rapids is a very short drive for this quality of food.

Never had anything I didn’t like here. The salsa is amazing!…chips are ok, could be a bit more crisper and fresher. Cool old downtown building.

Purchased a birthday lunch for a friend and he wanted steak for his burrito which isn’t a problem but the problem was them asking which meat I wanted for the burrito listing off multiple and one being steak and didn’t mention that it’s a $9 up charge and wasn’t going to say anything until I did. I still purchased the food but also requested chips and salsa and ordered a large spicy salsa and they gave me two small cups and I tried letting them know we’ve ordered a large salsa before and it wasn’t to big or small but the size of the palm of your hand and they charged me $8 for a large and brought out a huge salsa that’s the size of my foot (size 13) and instead of trying to ask for the smaller one I didn’t bother because they already charged my card.
