First impressions speak loud and clear! This was my first and definitely my last visit to this place. We stopped in for lunch shortly after opening and don’t get me wrong food was good not great but the customer service was NONE! After being seated we did get chips and salsa immediately and then drinks very shortly after they were very quick to get our food and drinks to us however after getting our food that was it! We had to CHOKE down food without even an offer if anything else to drink, then when out tab was brought when asking for a TOGO drink he looked at us like we were crazy.I had to force myself to leave a 5 dollar tip for the non service. Upon leaving the employee who was supposed to be who was sitting on the corner on his cell phone obvious that work was not the top of his list today! Very disappointed seeing as I have heard good things about this restaurant but obviously the DACULA location is not willing to make that customer service connection. Oh well at least I know the next time anyone brings up this restaurant, it’s a FIRM NO for me!

Food was very good and they give you plenty. My husband and I had margaritas. They didn't skimp on the alcohol content either they were good and strong. Can't wait to go back!

AMAZING. We started off with two Aguas Frescas . Orchata and Agua de Maracuya. Both of them had an amazing flavor. The chips and salsa were good. For our main course, we orderd Chorizo Nachos with extra steak,which were amazing.We also ordered camarones a la diabla which were very delicious, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice. Overall we paid 42$ without the tip.

My husband and I had been eyeing this place for a while because we LOVE Mexican food and its in the same vicinity as a taqueria we frequent. So I decided to take him on a date there this past Saturday. We were greeted by a gentleman that I believe was the manager. He was very friendly and seated us right away. The place was fairly busy but not too crowded which was nice. Our waiter came right over to take our drink orders. I got the Frosted Sangria-Margarita and my husband got the Frosted Texas margarita. If u ever want or need a great buzz, order these drinks! These cocktails are made well and worth every affordable penny. (Can't wait to get another) Our food came out about 10 min after we received our drinks which was awesome. I ordered the shredded chicken soup since I had recently had oral surgery and because it was freezing outside. My husband, i believe, got the California burrito. My soup was absolutely delicious and super filling. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The hubs loved his burrito and said this is his new burrito spot now. We can't wait to visit again.

Sat at the bar for some pre-game (superbowl). Had several Hennessy straight with coke on the side, can't go wrong there. The shrimp tacos were seasoned well and the staff was friendly and made themselves available. Wasnt crowded, nice laid back vibe. Will definitely be back!

I didn’t enjoy the drink and the manger came to my table was yelling and pointing fingers and told us not to come back because I didn’t like that drink this was very unprofessional and I didn’t appreciate it at all he event went on to say he was calling the police . I can’t believe that happen to me I paid my bills which was over 70 dollars but this was very alarming .

Staff was excellent,very attentive. Food was good a little heavier than other Mexican Restaurants we eat at, for our taste. Always seems to be lots of cars and people there. I would come back.

Great food, but our waitress seemed here non chalant about the food and knowledge, he screwed my whole damn order

Went for my daughter‘s birthday, we had fun! The food was so good! We will be back!

Really hit or miss on the food. Both the service and Margaritas have gone downhill. We used to be regulars as close by. Now we drive further for better service n drinks.
