El Bandido

It's a good Mexican restaurant with good service, even with limited interaction when picking up a to-go order. Chips and salsa are great, I appreciate that they include them even in takeout orders. I wasn't a fan of the horchata, it wasn't smooth, very watery for the most part but then lots of gritty sediment at the bottom. This should ideally be strained out so you aren't drinking the pulpy sand. Tacos were good, I've had better but also had a lot worse. Beans and rice were also good, maybe a little bland. Overall it's a good place, I would go back another time and try other menu items. Parking however is awful when they're busy, they have some space behind the building but it's very tight and only had a one way alley space to get back there, it's terrible trying to get in and out with other people trying to do the same in opposite directions.

I couldn’t find a single thing to complain about! The food was great. The cheese dip was nice and thick. Everything was hot and flavorful. Service was top notch. Never had to wait for a drink and anything I asked for was right there. The building was nice and inviting. Prices were very fair. Definitely my new favorite Mexican restaurant in this area

Very colorful restaurant atmosphere with great service!! We had the corn dip for an appetizer and it had lots of flavor (and corn)!! I had a HUGE plate of ceviche - yummmm! I couldn’t eat it all and took lots home. My husbunny had pollo ala mexicana (chicken with grilled mushrooms, peppers, and onions). He couldn’t eat all of his either. We didn’t try the margaritas, but watching them come from the bar, they looked very popular. If you’re passing through Beckley, WV, this is definitely a stop!!
