Peralta's Authentic Mexican Restaurant

The service was exceptional! (The bar has wayyy tooo many bar stools.)The drinks and food, less than par. Out of cranberry juice, the tortilla chips are thick and ugh..Def not my choice of good chips. The salsa was sub par, the queso was meh., the beef fajitas were okay, but no joke the fajita meet was cut into ¼" squares, so on 3 tacos there was 3 Oz..maybe...of meat for $20?..unacceptable. The refried beans were the same as every other Tex-Mex place. The rice had no flavor. Bartender was great though...

The new Peraltas building is open and it gets a full 5 Stars from us! We had dinner there on 1/10/2026 and it was EXCELLENT! The waitress was super friendly and courteous and the place is really nice inside and out. Very clean, spacious restaurant, great ambience. We had fajitas for two and it came out smoking sizzling hot delicious. Rice and beans also very fresh and hot. Their chips and salsa, also fresh and tasty. What a great place all around. Kudos to Peraltas management and staff!!

We stopped in on Sunday 3/1 after driving from the Dallas area to help my brother move. He suggested we go eat there. We arrived at approximately 3:10pm and walked in [the doors were unlocked] only to have 2 maybe 3 employees rudely tell us they closed at 3. No sign on the door with hours posted and again the door was unlocked. We just said ok and as we went to leave one of the employees [female] stated they had plenty of extra mops and brooms. I didn't find it funny but extremely rude. My mom is a senior citizen in her late 60's and also a diabetic and needed to eat. Horrible first impression and if I was ever back in Quitman and this was the ONLY place open I would not take my family there or spend a penny at this establishment. Do better !!

It started when we where taking to out table the person sitting us just placed menu on table and left said nothing. Then it took 13 minutes to get drink order then another 7 minutes before getting them. Then when food order was taken we received food in 15 minutes the flautas were corn chicken burritos and my chimichanga was small asked with no sauce on top and I got sauce on top. I saw a customer get up and fill his own glass of water now i know why. I then asked them for a glass of water and I received that AFTER we were done eating, why bring it at that point. I saw another person try to wave down his server to get his check and it took him 5 minutes to get his check. NOT a place to return as there are other places way better than this. First time visit and last.

In 23 years the food has always been fabulous! We went early this afternoon around four and the food again was great. The service was impeccable! Only place to go for Mexican food.
