Reviews for Desperados in Williamstown, MA
Five of us went for dinner?we walked in at 805pm?the restaurant closes at 9pm?we were refused service because the kitchen was... ?closing?!! If your hours are open until 9 then it doesn?t matter if someone walks in at 855?they should be served!! Otherwisechange the hours to match when your kitchen closes. SUPER DISAPPOINTING!!! Read more
Rarely do I leave reviews about anything, but I think this is necessary. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, go... somewhere else. If you are looking for the experience of a tasteless Caucasian attempt at Mexican food, this is the place foryou. I have gone to this location and also the North Adams location on several occasions. Each time I go, it gets worse. I tendto give the benefit of the doubt (pandemic related, staffing issues, etc), but this is just pathetic. I ordered the nachos andmy spouse ordered some kind of saucy burrito dish. I was informed that the nacho plate is just cheese and chips. That isntnachos. Maybe if you're at a movie theatre, but not at a Mexican restaurant. I asked for the typical stuff on nachos (salsa,shredded chicken, rice, beans, queso, avocado, sour cream, etc.) I was told that they do not carry queso, avocado, or shreddedchicken. I received a very flat plate of chips, sparingly sprinkled with what looked to be maybe american cheese and chunks ofchicken 1sq inch in size. The worse part was that it was completely unseasoned. I was annoyed that I had to specify the basicson nachos, but I didn't realize I had to request it be seasoned. the chips weren't even salted! Not even a hint of cumin oronion powder. My spouse's burrito was entirely unseasoned as well. I've had a more authentic Mexican food experience at TacoBell honestly, and that's just terrible. And like I said, this was not a one-time mistake. Not to mention, the two bland mealsand two (non-alcoholic) drinks came to $50-something total, yikes. I'm a local and have experienced this scenario on severaloccasions. TLDR: Save yourself the expensive disappointment and go to Coyote Flaco, and don't forget the tums ;) If the ownersare reading this, here are my suggestions: -Buy seasonings. -Visit other Mexican restaurants and experience the tastes. -Makesure you put the seasonings on the food. -Mexican food should be ordered as "what do you NOT want on it?".

We selected the shrimp and crab enchiladas and loved them!!! Also had sopapillas for desert! Yummy!!!
A good Mexican restaurant for being all the way over in the East coast. My enchilada was full oh tasty pork. And the chicken... wings are good too. But the house margaritas were great. Read more
It was a quaint restaurant with a fun yet adult atmosphere. The walls have nice murals with a few mexican pieces here and... there. The bar are is nice with a large tv. I think it would be a great place to stop in for a drink. We went on a Tuesday. Theyoffered a special including all you can eat tacos, burritos and something else. That was really nice! More food than I couldeat but great for someone else. ???? I was disappointed that they don't serve a classic food of flautas or taquitos. Also nofried ice cream unless it's summer. My mom and I were there for a little something. We were hoping to share some flautas. Nobig deal. Unfortunately I found their prices a little high. $14.95 for a quesadilla seems like a lot. We ended up gettingcoconut shrimp and their crispy tortilla with cheese. Both were delicious! The gentleman that was serving us was very welcomingand kind. He always smiled and made us feel right at home. We had great service from him. He was also helpful finding thingsthat weren't hot for my mom. He clearly enjoys being there and making people happy. That was truly a pleasure. There was ashort haired woman working there that didn't exude the same vibe! I'm trying to find a nice way of saying, she just felt a bitcold. We sat next to where she was. As she passed us several times, (in a smallish space) she never acknowledged us, said a kindword or so much as smiled at my mom or me. We felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason. All in all, I'd like to go again If wecan have the welcoming feeling. ???? Read more
We've eaten here a few times now and today the service was terrible. The food was great as always. The owner(?) was tending bar... and having a loud conversation with some customers (friends possibly) and stated he and I assume his wife got sick the day theyreturned from Vegas. He proceeded to cough, then go full up a chip bowl WITHOUT WASHING HIS HANDS. No gloves in sight. So yeah.Our server was terrible. Took our drink order and didn't come back for at least 10-15 minutes. We got asked if someone came bytwice. We flagged another server down to get water while we waited. Finally got drinks and ordered our food. Brought appetizerand forgot condiments. She came by 15 minutes later and I had to remind her. Finally got the rest of our food. The young ladywiping down tables was checking on us and getting things since our server was nowhere to be found. Read more
Great food and service at a fair price. Specials available as well.
It?s poorly executed and the flavors and textures are not great, if you are going to serve salsa and promote it as being house... made , with chips in my opinion it should be. A burst of fresh flavors not something that resembles a couple of stewed bottledbrands dumped together. The menu is limited while the bar is ample well stocked, however the soft drinks are overpriced $3.95 plus 3 small cali tacos with rice resembling ready made heat and eat rice and black beans from a can should not cost between$18-$20 dollars. While I understand overhead cost and expenses I don?t understand why Iced tea without sugar is this price. Iliterally heard two other tables explain they were only there for drinks, and in Spanish told each other the food was theequivalent or dumpster leftovers. Thankfully I had already eaten and formed my opinion as well as my dining partners. However,sadly I agreed with the other diners. I have had this cuisine across the US and oversees and frankly I?d rather eat a TV dinnerand brew my own ice tea and I can easy make allot of tea for the $12 I spent on 3 diners glasses. This menu and food is not forme, and I will not return again. Save your money and go to a different establishment. Read more
