Service was great, food was good, but a 22 dollar pitcher of draft beer is outrageous. Our table only got 3 pours out of the pitcher. It worked out to be way more expensive than ordering singles would have been.Is this normal here?

The staff is very attentive and friendly; however,we did not have a good experience. Despite asking for confirmation that the food was not spicy,we were assured it wasn't the slightest bit spicy, and that any spiciness would come from a separate sauce, should we choose to order it. Contrary to their assurances, the food was indeed spicy, too much so for us, especially since we must avoid spicy foods for health reasons.I ended up sweating and with a burning sensation in my stomach, which ruined the moment for us.There should be more transparency regarding the ingredients.We definitely will not be returning to or recommending this restaurant

This was our go to local Tex Mex place after moving here a few years ag6. I believe they have been experiencing staff shortages since Covid, like many businesses, so difficult to knock them for that. But the last several times we've gone, the wait has been excessive and I think the server was stressed and not overly friendly. I had to run to the bar for water because my wife was choking on her chip, probably about 20 minutes after we arrived and hadn't been served even water nor had our order taken.The biggest issue is the cost and quality of the drinks. Over time, the margarita recipe has changed. The frozen margaritas seem alcohol free and too sweet. At one point, we started ordering a shot of tequila to mix in it, but that was too expensive. So we decided last visit to switch to a pitcher of Sangria and clearly said "no rocks" when asked by the server. We received 2 glasses filled to the brim with ice, and a pitcher of ice with a little sangria inside for $28. A poor value since it only produced 2 ice filled drinks for each of us.We both ordered new dishes and liked them, so the food remains at a 4 star level for standard Tex Mex fare.We'll probably go back someday since we like supporting local businesses, and we like the people who work here. But I doubt I'll order anything other than water or maybe a beer in the future.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family restaurant, which is a good thing.
I've been visiting this restaurant for Years. My favorite server is definitely Veronica, she's attentive and always helpful.I love the chicken soup and I also recommend the vegetarian fajitas. One of the best.Vegetarian options: The Vegetables fajita is definitely one of the best I've ever had
I love this place. When we lived in Suwanee we would come here all the time. Now we live in Lawrenceville and we don't get to come back very often but we visited again last week and it was just as great as I remembered it.

Soup was pretty tasty. It did have a diff taste than what im used to. Also there was lettuce in it which im not used to. But overall it was Pretty good.Got cheese sauce to dip the chips in (& add red sauce in it as well) but the chips were so stale. I asked if they had any fresh but she said all are the same. I did come in at 530pm so figured they just been out. But they were so stale and it wasnt worth to buy the cheese sauce so that wasa waste. Service was ok. Good place tho.

No one gets a 5. I eat there 4 times a month. That being said . Very friendly staff that take very good care. My food is consistent and I really enjoy going here.
The food is good. the service is basic. you're rationed on the chips and water.

Ordered for delivery, they got none of the special instructions correct. You’re better off swinging by a grocery store for a taco kit.

The food was alright but cooked wrong. The quesadilla was soggy, the burrito still had sour cream on it even though I told them to remove and add on the side (which they also put it on the side). So I had to throw 1 burrito away. The nachos were such small portioned with the beef. Was not enough to eat after having to throw out the other half of the food. They need to get better cooks and be able to follow instructions fully. Would 100% choose El Real Mexican on Buford Dr over this place.

I placed an Uber eats order and wanted to order cheese dip with jalapeños; unfortunately you can only order plain cheese dip. I place the order and call the restaurant directly requesting to add jalapeños to my cheese dip. A lady answered the phone and told me she didn't know how to do it because they didn't have access to my card. I understood and told her I was happy to give it to her over the phone. She starts yelling at me that she doesn't know how to do that and so I just want her to cancel the order?! I respond calmly and tell her no, I want my order but I also want jalapeños in my cheese dip (& I also explained that wasn't an option on the app). She yells into the phone that she will just throw them in the order and she HANGS UP ON ME. Wowzer! I was not rude or raising my voice with her. I'm not sure what the problem was. Unfortunately, I receive my order and 1) there's no jalapeños AND 2) the order has been smashed ...literally. No idea of the smashing in of my order was from the restaurant or the Uber driver but it's now in the trash. Unbelievable. Not sure why this is so difficult.

I ORDERED FOOD BY UBER RECEIVED SOMEONE FOOD ...NOT MINE...CALLED BEFORE THE DELIVERY AND ASK FOR ONE EXTRA SALSA. WAS TOLD NO I WOULD NEED TO PAY EXTRA! NOW MIND YOU WHEN YOU EAT AT THE RESTAURANT THEY GIVE YOU PLENTY OF SALSA AT NO COST! VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE...I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!
