When it comes to finding fresh Mexican places in Tallahassee, there aren’t many quick and affordable options. Places are either pretty unhealthy, pricey, or aren’t fast enough for people in a rush. The new fresh mex restaurant Surcheros that opened earlier this month solves all of these problems and puts Moes and Chipotle in a serious competition for the spot as the number one fast, casual Mexican place in the area. 

When you walk in,  you are met with a bar set up including rice, beans, protein, sauces and every kind of topping you can think of. You can choose a grilled burrito, burrito bowl, tacos, nachos, salads, quesadillas and other sides to go with your meal. You choose your choice of protein and then begin choosing toppings. All of the food is fresh and right off the grill. The taste is incomparable to any other mediocre restaurant like this. The food is made perfectly with delicious flavor coming from any meal you get, including the fresh tasting toppings, which make whichever option you choose even better. To top off the menu, they include their S’mores Quesadilla for dessert. This is a warm tortilla filled with marshmallows and chocolate syrup straight off the grill that will leave you wanting more. 

As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you are met with kind, friendly faces where you order your food. The employees seem to always be in good spirits and are willing to help you with whatever you could possibly need, but they do not just stop at that. During the grand opening, the staff went above and beyond to make sure all of their guests were more than taken care of and had everything they could have possibly wanted. One of the managers even went as far as remembering a request of a customer checking out amongst hundreds of people flowing through the long line and surprised them with a special dessert after their meal. The employees are personable and will make sure you are completely content before you leave. This makes the restaurant feel inviting and makes it a perfect place to spend your time.

Another aspect that makes Surcheros better than the average Mexican restaurant is their prices. While the items are still a little pricey, they are completely worth it for the quality of the food. A grilled burrito at Surcheros is around $10.99 which is reasonable compared to a Moe’s burrito that ranges from $8.99 to $12.99 depending on what you add to it. While the prices are a little high, the quality of the food and the service make up for it. 

With the  impeccable service and amazing food, customers will be counting down the days until they can eat it again. While not a lot of people know about the opening of Surcheros, that will definitely change as people will quickly fall in love with all they have to offer. For all you fresh mexican lovers out there, this is a must try place to satisfy those cravings.
