I totally enjoyed eating here. I got here about 930pm.. which is 1/2 hour before closing. I ordered the steak tacos on corn tortillas which were fantastic. It came with a small bowl of rice and a small bowl of bean soup. The soup was a bit spicy but very good too. Ordered water for a drink. The restaurant was decorated very cool and made the experience fun. The only thing I did not like much was right before 10, the staff made me feel a bit rushed to get finished up and leave. Also there was a lot of broken glass in the street where parking is. Also the trash cans by the entrance of the courtyard smelled putrid. I would come back again though and staff was friendly and the food was excellent.

First time trying this place and it didn’t disappoint! We ate here on a Thursday, around 2:00 and the crowd was small! The food was EXCELLENT! The salsa had a great flavor. They even had authentic habanero salsa that really satisfied our spice craving. The service was 10/10. We will go back when we come into town again!

We went here for lunch before the 4pm Georgia football game. We had a few minutes wait before being seated by the hostess. The atmosphere was bustling with Georgia fans. The TVs had the other college games playing. The food was fantastic, very authentic. Our server was nice, however, inattentive and slow. We were waiting for quite a while to get our bill. We love this place, so will likely come back again.

Went in very close to closing and were pleasantly surprised by the staff and food. We had pork and steak tacos with rice and charro beans.

Really great spot. The patio is awesome—perfect for hanging out. I had the seafood enchiladas and they were delicious, super flavorful and fresh. Big shoutout to Andres, the manager, super friendly and made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be back

Food was great. Saturday evening they had a Happy hour 2 for 1 on their margaritas. I do not drink margaritas so I did not try it. I did how ever get a $9 strawberry lemondrop martini, the sugar rim helped it. We got a side of queso with jalopenos on the side, they charged $2 for the jalopenos 😐. We also got chicken nachos and they were delicious. The chicken was really good. Cool atmosphere with inside and outside seating.

The food was fine but my point of contention was the booze price. Two margaritas before the diner was $40. Also, it was so loud and cold on the inside. Can you please make it more condusive for conversation by turning down the music and not making it so cold

Decent spot. The carnitas tacos were pretty good. Chips were a little stale

They had a good happy hour, place looked vibrant and clean. My wife and I went twice and both times our server was slow to check on us. For instance we ordered sampler appetizers and no small plates were brought. Drinks would be empty before she even would come close to our table. Overall food was good for the price and drinks were good value.

3.5 stars out of 5 (rounded up to 4) I got the fish tacos lunch special. The tacos were nothing special, just average. The place is large and was quite empty and relaxed for lunch. Got a small margarita. That was pretty decent. The sides of the tortilla soup as rice were unremarkable. On the whole, it was just ok, but on the positive side, the price wasn’t too high. Will probably not be back in a hurry.
