★★★★★ 5.0 Taylor Jordan · Dec 2025

I had a great experience! The black bean dip provided with the chips was unique and enjoyable. The cheese dip was very good. A chicken chimichanga is my go-to, and this place did not disappoint. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. The beans and rice were so good. The sour cream was AMAZING, so thick and rich. I got the pomegranate margarita on the rocks. It was wonderful! Ask your server, there was a BOGO special on all margaritas during my visit. Great atmosphere, great service. I would gladly return 😊

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!

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.

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.
