Even during busy hours they turn an burn getting everyone in, fed, and back out. The food is very very good yall ! Atleast worth trying once passing it all the time !? No complaints

No atmosphere. Poor service. Bland food.
I ordered Chili Colorado, didn't finish it and it wasn't worth bringing home. The same goes for the cheese dip. And the chips weren't fresh. The salsa was okay. I gave it a 4 out of 10, my guest said 2.5. I won't be going back anytime soon.

So many Tex-Mex "beans and rice" joints in town!
So is this a good Mexican restaurant?
Based on my criteria, it's on the border. 😁 I ordered a chorizo burrito even though it wasn't on the menu and was blown away by the flavor. DELICIOUS! Service is always great.

We have done sine in and take out here. Very good authentic Mexican food. The tacos and enchiladas were very good, the tortilla soup was just ok, but we got it to go so might be better fresh.

You'd be better off going to a taco truck and taking the food home I promise you. Togo portion was so small and cold I couldn't even enjoy my lunch break. 10/10 disappointment. will not be returning.

The online prices are wrong. When I placed my call in order,, they don't give you a price. All of the food was 🔥. The nachos were great;however; the fajitas for two were not as we expected. The quantity was not the same as when we usually order it. It was skimpy. We were suppose to have beef, shrimp, and chicken and the taco was left out of the other order. When you pay $61 for food, you expect perfection.

The food was great! Service was the best I have had in ages. Our waiter was always there when we needed, but he was not hovering. Comfortable atmosphere, and really good, reasonably priced food.

Great find in Bartlett. I had the steak and chicken fajitas and my wife had the shrimp chimichanga. We couldn't eat it all but we wanted to. Excellent taste for both meals. Also this very close to authentic. Salsa is also homemade as well as many other items on the menu.

One of the must eat places every time I visit family who lives the in the area and I have yet to have a meal here that I have not throughly enjoyed. Their Chips and salsa are delicious - to make it even better, their queso (blanco) is sinful and should be on every single order taken in this restaurant. They're have great service and margaritas!

Best Mexican in Bartlett good food. Service is good. I've tried almost everything on the menu and everything is very good. They have live music on Friday and Saturday night, that doesn't over power you, and very good. Lunch menu is very reasonable with lots to choose from. They have a very good variety of items on the regular menu as well, from mild to spicy. vegetarian, chicken, see food, pork and steak.

We stopped by Los Pilares this Thanksgiving Eve looking for a nice meal after previous plans fell through in the area. We were able to be seated with a party of 4 immediately early evening around 5:30pm. The waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep us supplied with chips and salsa. The house salsa was VERY good--tastes great and I could tell it was homemade from whole ingredients. We ordered La Guadalajara, a dinner combo, the enchiladas verdes, and the enchiladas supremas. The Guadalajara was good, filling, but the star of it was the chicken burrito. There were positive comments on the

Turn the florescent lights off! It's like eating in a hospital cafeteria. Great food and service however. Just bad atmosphere. And while we were there, they turned off the music and turned up the TVs for a soccer game that people weren't watching. I'm not here for a sports bar. Good food but need to focus on a little atmosphere.

Selected Los Pilares for lunch Friday due to reviews already provided on Yelp. I was not disappointed. The salsa that came with the complimentary had great flavor, a medium heat, with a balanced and tasty blend of ingredients.

I like a fajita salad ordered the steak taco salad fajita from the lunch menu. Often, you don't receive guacamole on a salad from a lunch menu. Los Pilares puts guac on the lunch salad. The steak was very tender, and the grilled fajita vegetables were perfect on the salad in the taco bowl. Yum yum yum.

My table mates thoroughly enjoyed their entrees too. I would come

I started out eating at LP my sophomore year of high school, every Friday before football games. Now, as a senior in college, I still try to frequent the place at least once a week. I've been to both locations in Bartlett and Millington--They're the same.
I am a Mexican food addict, and have been to basically every restaurant in the Shelby and Tipton county areas.
Out of them all, LP is my absolute favorite.
The servers have always been extraordinarily nice, quick, and efficient. Even when busy, they still manage to be prompt.
My food always comes out within around 10-15 minutes, even

I'm giving them 5 stars if for nothing else the service. Everytime we've come in they have been very accommodating. The past few weeks we've had large parties. Now to the food. I know that most Tex-Mex places have about the same menu selections. However here the food seems to be a little more seasoned and less bland than other places. It always comes out hot and they're willing to adjust a menu item. So I would recommend for a good and inexpensive dinner or lunch.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant.
Always fast service, even on a Friday night.
Prices are reasonable, and the food is fantastic.
Our fave is the beef fajitas.

Eddie is amazing. Bartlett has several authentic Mexican restaurants from which to choose. The food is pretty much all the same at each restaurant, therefore, service should be above and beyond & prices equivalent to get regulars. The servers at this restaurant are very attentive and polite! Prices are less expensive than Los Cabos. I am looking forward to the opening of the new location on highway 70.

Seeing a crowd of people standing outside a restaurant can have many interpretations. Some might take it as an indicator this restaurant is really busy and doesn't have the staff to handle the crowd. While others might see it as a sign this restaurant serves really great food and the masses want to devour it up. When my dinner party approached Los Pilares on Stage on a recent Friday night and saw a HUGE crowd of people standing out front, I didn't know exactly what to think.

But, we went in and waited for a table. My party of six was seated in less than 10 minutes. This restaurant had

There are so many good Mexican places around here that I seem to have kept driving past this one. A recent thread on Facebook reminded me of it, so I stopped in to check it out. My lunch was slightly above average. It came out hot and quick. I ate every bite and enjoyed it. It's just typical for Tex mex in this area. No complaints, but nothing too exciting.

I'm alive fellow yelpers!

Yesterday was Dad's 70th birthday and we did birthday lunch this year and decided to try Los Pilares.

It did not disappoint either of us. Everything was hot, delivered reasonably quickly, and with friendly service.

The only *very* small complaint was that it did take a minute to catch our server's attention to get a to go box.

Total for the food below plus a soda and tea was about 22 dollars excluding tip.

Rating: 4.95

I shall be back with more reviews asap!

We have been going to this location for years, however the service has been on a decline. After our past experience we will not be returning to this restaurant. Our server was clearly more interested in talking to his friends at another table and we were all but completely ignored and treated as though we were an annoyance to him. We ordered queso and had to remind him (again he acted annoyed), we had to get up from the table to find him for a refill as our glasses had been empty for almost 10 mins, only for him to give the task to another server who came to our table and said "sweet tea"

I haven't eaten at every Mexican restaurant in Memphis but I would struggle to believe there is anywhere better for scratch made authentic food.
This place does food and service very very well.

Went here yesterday, Wednesday, at around 5 for dinner with two friends. I've never been before so I was excited to try a new place but not too thrilled with the idea of Tex-Mex. However, they lean more toward the Mexican so I was pleased.

One of the girls I was with goes here often and informed me of the check-in thing they have by the register. It was my first time so I got a free dessert with any entree purchase.

The salsa was ok. My mother-in-law would say the salsa "pica pero no sabe," something that means it's spicy but has no flavor. The cheese dip was not my favorite
