I ordered the shrimp tacos with corn tortillas and grilled shrimp to accommodate my gluten.Free allergy, their Tortilla chips were a little greasy, but their saucer was out of this world. I really enjoyed my shrimp tacos. I didn't much care for their rice and their beans which is says a lot because I love Mexican rice. The beans they used were completely different to me than what I am used to, I just didn't care for them.

My wife and I dined in on the 4th of July. It was a little busy so we opted to sit and eat at the bar and we're very happy we did. Our chips and salsa practically hit the bar before we sat down and the bartender/ server, Miguel, was excellent mixing drinks (my wife had a couple of spicy margaritas) and serving us. For food she had the Burrito Grande and I had the Seafood Burrito - both we're very good as were our sides. The restaurant itself is very nice with the decor being really well done - definite Mexico vibe throughout. Highly recommend it and we'll for sure be back.

Myself, my wife and her bestfriend visited here after kayaking the Chestatee River and I have to say we stumbled into a little piece of heaven! I ordered the Carnitas with charro beans and rice, oh my goodness the Carnitas were melt in you mouth, the charro beans were so good that I could have at a whole bucket!! The wife got the Chicken Norteno and not only did it look amazing it tasted amazing as well!!! The bestie got the Burrito Grande and said it was very delicious (also it was huge). The food was not all that was amazing, our server was very kind, efficient and attentive!!! She did not leave us waiting for anything. We were also visited by Claudio, the manager, as our food arrived at the table. He just wanted ask if everything looked okay and see if we needed anything else. He also came back by after our meal to ask how everything was and we immediately began to gush about how amazing everything was. Claudio was a very friendly and pleasant to speak with. The food was the star of the show but the esthetic of this place was beautiful!! I highly recommend checking this wonderful place out and enjoy the deliciousness!!!! Here are the 6 stars that my experience truly deserved! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the beef nachos and chicken fajitas after enjoying the chips and salsa which were really good. The flavor of the beef and queso in the nachos matched well with the house made tortillas chips. Their chips were thin and crispy just like I like them. The fajitas were well prepared but could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion. But overall we had a great experience especially with the restaurant staff. I think it's worth a try if you're in the area.

Great decor, someone spent a lot of time and money on the interior and it shows. I had a chicken dish with corn sauce, was fabulous. Love the different options and very pleased with both times we've been here. A little higher price than other places but as long as the food and service is consistent, then you're getting what you pay for.

We had a really great server and everything came out well. The food was delicious and I absolutely love the decor inside the restaurant. The price of everything is about the same as all the other restaurants in town!
