Our Story

El Norte – A Taste of Mexico in the Heart of Mississippi

At El Norte, we wanted to share our culture — and what better way to do that than through food? Since opening our doors in 1998, El Norte has been more than just a restaurant. It's a family business built on love, tradition, and a deep-rooted passion for sharing the vibrant flavors of Mexico with the Meridian, MS community and surrounding areas.

Our mission has always been simple: to offer authentic Mexican cuisine in a warm, welcoming environment that feels like home. When you walk through our doors, you're not just a customer — you're family. That spirit of hospitality is what has made El Norte a beloved staple in the area for over two decades.

We take great pride in the dishes we serve. Every item on our menu is crafted using time-honored recipes and high-quality ingredients that bring out the bold, rich flavors of traditional Mexican cooking. Whether you're savoring our signature steak Michoacana, biting into a flavorful taco, or diving into a hearty burrito or birria plate, each dish is made with care and attention to detail. And don’t forget our mouth-watering nachos — a favorite among new guests and longtime regulars alike.

But El Norte isn’t just about the food. We believe that great meals are meant to be enjoyed with friends and family, which is why we offer a wide range of margaritas and refreshing beverages to complement your dining experience. With daily food specials and rotating drink deals, there's always something new and exciting to enjoy — whether you're visiting for a casual lunch, date night, or a festive evening out.

As a family-owned business, we also understand the importance of celebrating life’s special moments. That’s why we offer catering services and can host large parties right here at the restaurant. From birthdays and graduations to corporate events and holiday gatherings, El Norte is the perfect place to bring people together over great food and good times.

More than just a restaurant, El Norte is a reflection of our heritage and the love we have for our culture. It’s a place where tradition meets community — where every meal tells a story and every guest becomes part of our extended family.

Come visit us and take a culinary journey through Mexico without ever leaving Mississippi. We can’t wait to welcome you to our table.
