Desperados
Chef-owner Dave Atwell of Desperados Fresh Mexican Grille takes pride in cooking everything fresh to order. Homemade salsa, sauces, guacamole, black beans as well as making his own chips. Signature "Smokin' Fajitas" is a menu favorite — marinated steak or chicken served with grilled poblano pepper, red pepper, onion and potato with a side plate of rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese and warm flour tortillas.

Atwell said he bought the restaurant from a good friend, Randy Ross, in 1998. "He trained me, showing me all the ins and outs of creating fresh Mexican cuisine," says Atwell.
Over the past several years, he has incorporated of lot of his own ideas, such as Drunken' Shrimp (grilled plump shrimp soaked in top-shelf margarita, served over rice and topped with grilled veggies, cheese and fresh cilantro.) "We have all the popular classics — tacos, burritos, quesadilla, chimichangas, and wraps," says Atwell.
And he's got more: Dining out on your birthday? "You can enjoy any entree up to $13.95 on us as Desperados way of wishing you all the best on your birthday," he says. Bring the kids and they'll enjoy great choices from our kids' menu; Chicken fingers, fish and chips, kids' taco and more, all served with fries or rice and beans and a bottomless drink.
Desperados offers a full bar and, yes, we have pitchers of margaritas.

| "Welcoming Mexican restaurant in Williamstown, MA - great value with very tasty food! Excellent salsa is freshly made. We enjoyed the fundido with fantastic house-made chorizo and also pork and apple carnitas - they may sound odd but the flavour is magnificent! Margarita's and service were good as well!

| "Authentic Mexican food is what you get at Desperados, where they make all their own salsas and sauces. Many of the dishes arrive at your table sizzling. Check out desserts such as flan and fried bananas." | ~Fodor's Review

Williamstown: Desperados: "My favorite restaurant"
happygourmet, MA Jan 3, 2007
My family has been dining at this restaurant for over 10 years. The food is great, atmosphere is relaxing (and clean), and the staff is way above average. We have never had a bad meal and would highly recommend you visit them soon. They make all their own sauces too. The margaritas are the best I have ever had and I eat at Mexican restaurants all over the country.
