Mexican restaurant with old school Atlanta vibe. In a Saturday afternoon, it was a solid 30+ min wait in line to order food, then prob 20 minutes to receive it. Overall food was good - a tad spicy for my tastes. Food decently priced but the alcohol is pricey - $25 margarita is high! While you’re in line, a server does walk by to take drink orders. Chips ($4.50) so come with a decent amount of salsa, which I appreciate. The mildest one was still a bit spicy for me

Great...

Best place for Mexican in Atlanta. Their menu has a great variety of burritos, tacos and mulitas. And has vegetarian options available. The margaritas are really good and they have a wide selection of drinks available. There's plenty of seating available.

Don't be discouraged by the sometimes long line, it's worth it. Pro tip: while you wait you can already get a drink at a bar at the back.

despite the uptick in prices since i started eating here the food is good. my only thing is when you do the add on for cheese i’m the burro’s i have a hard time finding the additional chihuahua cheese. if im paying for it shouldn’t it be noticeable? not to mention i would feel ridiculous calling in or going up to the front to say hey i think you forgot my .50 cheese add on.. so i hope you guys can either remove the option all together or make it worth the add on. Still enjoy...
