Atzimba Mexican Restaurant

Ordered the chicken fajitas plate. Service was very fast and food was tasty. For the price, the food quantity and quality was very good. The servers were very attentive in keeping all water cups full and salsa/​chips topped off. Of the restaurants visited this trip, they earned my highest rating.

Delicious, delicious. Fantastic service from some fantastic people. What a great Clarksdale staple!

Enjoyed 3 great meals while my church group was in Clarksdale this week. The staff was incredibly eager to accommodate our large group and we were super pleased with the food. With an average of 75 – 80 people in our group we can really change a restaurant’s evening and these folks didn’t miss a beat. I have never seen a harder working bunch of people and the food was always good. Not a lot of options in this small and rather depressed community but this was a great one for us!

A few days after my previous visit I went back with some friends and tried another dish. The Chile Verde was very good.

Atzimba was quite the little surprise on a recent visit to Clarksdale!
There are not a ton of dining options in Clarksdale, and I believe Atzimba is the only Mexican restaurant (ie, not a tamale joint), so it’s not like they have to worry about competition and yet… truth be told, it’s on par with Mexican I’ve had in New Orleans, where there actually *is* a lot of competition! That’s not to say you’re going to get mind-​blowing burritos or anything, but it’s certainly decent. And my god, CHEAP.
I appreciated the little vegetarian section, which I didn’t really expect. I figured I’d just order quesadillas sans meat, but no, there was quite the selection of combo plates. I opted for one that had a guac tostada, enchilada and taco. The guac is fantastico! I’m not a huge fan of jack and cheddar cheeses, and there is plenty of it on this plate (the cheese is so mild you can barely taste it). Portions are huge and unless you’re starvin’ marvin, figure on needing to be rolled outta there if you clean your plate (really, I dare you to even try to clean that plate).
I’ll come clean: I couldn’t resist ordering a piña colada and man, as artificial as they come (reminded me immediately of the daiquiri I had from a NOLA daiquiri stand the night before). You’re better off on getting a margarita. Trust! Plenty of tequila in that baby.
On a final note, what attentive service! Whether our water, chips or salsa needed refilling, they were *on it* before we even asked. Food came out lickety split, too (and trust me, we were needing it fast).

fantastic memories of this place! Miguel, Raphael, and the rest of the crew certainly know how to make you feel at home and serve great food while doing it.
