Used to be in this area a lot a few years back and when had a taste for Mexican cuisine I always stopped here. I happen to be in the area and hungry this week and well you know the rest! I usually order a Coronarita to wash down this good food but all it takes it one and you be lit! I tried a new dish on the menu and it came out quickly and fresh as always. Always recommend this place.

Stopped by for lunch after attending an event in Braselton, based upon reading previous reviews, and it did not disappoint! The fish, shrimp and scallops were flavorful and covered in cheese (just the right amount) The calamari in this dish was a little tougher than we like but overall VERY tasty and big portions (enough for the two of us to share!) . Also a fan of the avocado salad.

My daughter and I came here for dinner one evening about a month ago and I'm just catching up on my reviews. We got in and got to see them pretty quick, chips and salsa are always on the table within two seconds with water and I ordered a beer and she got some tea and we looked at the menu. Didn't take long because both of us tend to order the same thing anywhere we go, but she's super picky and it's hard to find anything for her to eat at some places, but she was craving shrimp, so we came here for the shrimp fajitas. They were exactly what she wanted, the shrimp were pretty large cooked. Perfect, I got to eat the onions and peppers because she just wanted the shrimp and chips and salsa and queso dip and I got me three chicken enchiladas with shredded chicken rice and a plate, full of lettuce and guacamole and tomatoes... Just what I like. There must be nine Mexican restaurants in the immediate vicinity of a few miles and this was quite good for me and I'm sure we will be back. Highly recommend.

We stopped here passing through onto Atlanta from South Carolina. We looked at reviews and knew this should be a place to go to. The carnitas tacos are amazing and had a great taste. We had many dishes and everyone enjoyed their food.

We go here almost every week for a quick k Mexican meal. Usually really crowded so go early. The food is very good and reasonable. They have drink specials daily and staff are friendly. We love their tamales and quesadillas. Chile releno I would pass it's pieces of pepper not really stuffed. The filling a bit mushy. Everything else is very good. There are not many places here but gets packed quick.
