I've been here several times. The tamales, tacos, momos, nachos are all so good. We spent over a decade in Texas and the brisket is definitely Texas quality. I tried the elote and that was really good too. We've tried a couple of Mexican style places in Georgia and Alabama and none beat this place. The staff is so nice too. Kat, Autumn, Hannah, and I can't remember the other names, have all been pleasant to talk to.

We stopped by today on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised!! The food was SOOO good!! Our first time having tamales and wow.. they have set the bar high for my future tamale adventures 😅 the owner/chef was so friendly and let us get a small sample of all of the sauces since it was our first time visiting. My husband loved the pickled onions with the brisket tamale- the habanero salsa was my favorite!! Also the BEST elotes I have EVER had!! Everything was perfect. We will...read full review
