I wanted to try a different Mexican Restaurant in Dawsonville. The Salsa was a little chuckyer but was absolutely delicious. As was my Burrito and Taco. Definitely a place to stop for great Mexican food. I was curious on the pricing. Tacos were $4 or 3 for $10 and A la cart burritos were right at $6. Seemed to be in line with most other places in the area. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for Mexican food.

To start with, the food was decent. The portion on the tacos was very small, the rice a bit.. different. Overall, it's really not bad.
Our main issue here is with the server we had. He seemed very unfriendly. We got there about 15 minutes after opening. We were seated right at the door. Is Sunday so with the big crowds I get that! It's totally fine. The issue was when he wasn't making us feel rushed like we were in the way of a better table, then...

Our, lunch was not the best Mexican food,
chips and (sour) guacamole don’t seem homemade, my veggie quesadilla was swimming in grease, lettuce was served on a hot plate. Service was friendly and quick but food can use improvement.
