“so good. genuinely the best birria tacos ever. seriously“

“Great quality food and environment! I will always come back here ☺️“

“I would like to give Jorge a shout out for his amazing service for my event on 1/25/25. We needed catering for 40 people and Jorge gave us affordable options and made it way easier than it should have been. Everyone loved the food and there was plenty to eat! I would definitely keep them in mind for work functions, family meals and other events for catering needs. You will not be disappointed with the food, value or service!“

“The food is amazing! Friends suggested it and we are so thankful they did!“

“Really cool place with a nice, relaxed vibe, and the food was amazing. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Atmosphere is family friendly and accommodating to large groups. The food was a surprising offering of Mexican (we ate the wonderfully thick-for-dipping chips and guacamole), Asian (we enjoyed the perfectly prepared fried calamari with a sweet and spicy Asian dipping sauce and delicious shrimp and rice), and Italian (several pasta selections). Excellent.“

“Awesome Experience…. service & food! 🫶“

“The four stars are for a super cheap taco Tuesday (will be back), but not because the tacos are particularly good. This was more Tex-mex than most cheap Mexican places I frequent—instead of asking corn or flour tortilla, they ask soft or hard and the default is with lettuce and cheese unless you ask for cilantro and onion. The steak taco was good, but that one was $3.50 on special, so it must usually be pretty overpriced. I’d recommend getting carnitas and chorizo tacos ($1.75 each) and mixing the two since the carnitas is under-seasoned and the chorizo is over-seasoned. They would balance each other out. The margaritas are a great deal…$14 for a pitcher! I wouldn’t go here on a random day, but it’s hard to beat a pitcher of margaritas and 7 tacos for $33 on a Tuesday. FYI, the tacos are cheaper than they say they are online, which was a nice surprise.“

“This was my first time dining in since they moved locations, though we have gotten take-out several times before. The Mexican tacos range from delicious (birria) to not great (chicharrones had zero crisp or flavor and looked boiled), with most being pretty solid. The barbacoa is very tender, carne asada is good, but carnitas also lacked flavor. The prices have gone up a bit, but still affordable, especially for the tacos.

They also have margaritas now!!! I saw a recent review that said they just wish they had margaritas, and it is easy to miss the fact that they do since they are not mentioned online, not on the menu or visible in the pics. They have one-size house margarita only, and it is $8.

We got 8 Mexican tacos, 2 margaritas, and chips and salsa for $48. So it is pretty cheap if you stick to tacos only, but not as cheap as many taco Tuesday spots that feature deals with cheaper margaritas and free chips and salsa. Some tacos are much better than others, so stick with those and you will be happy. It’s also much cuter inside than you’d expect from the outside.

Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids running around, very kid-friendly spot.“

“Amazing Service, fresh food, love the pickled veggies, pico & salsa bar!!“

“Whether we're dining in or picking up, I am ALWAYS so impressed with this location. Every dish that we've ever ordered has been phenomenal and full of fresh flavor, their drinks are great, their staff is always so professional/ SO willing to go above and beyond/ clean cut/ well put together, their restrooms are always clean, and our orders have always come out before we ever have the chance to finish the first basket of chips. So thankful that our community has this location. Your hard work is so, so appreciated! Highly recommend!“

“Great food and awesome servers“

“Best authentic food so far. Beat out even the restaurants we ate at in San Antonio. Definitely has become our new favorite here in GA. Clean quiet, indoor and outdoor dining available, staff are friendly and available, but not in your face! Love love love the food! And cleanest restrooms ever seen in a restaurant.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“great place to eat great staff friendly managers“

“I drove 60 miles to eat here and do Karaoke on a Saturday night with Dana DjDice Daniels. It was definitely worth the trip. Oscar my waiter was extremely attentive, served the food and drinks with accuracy and speed. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was fun and lively with a family oriented karaoke night. Dana DjDice Daniels always puts on a fun and enjoyable evening and show. I'm definitely heading back very soon. Just a wow type of feeling all around.
Just drove a long way again for another great time! The family that owns and runs the place are very wonderful. Great job guys, once again. Professional and fun DJ Dice for karaoke Wednesdays and Saturdays“

“Huge thank you to Luis, Lauren and the entire Cielo Blue staff for catering our graduation party this weekend! Food was amazing, as always. They successfully fed about 200 people and we had many compliments from our guests! Thank you all so much!“

“Very good food“

“One of my favorite places for AUTHINTIC Mexican food. Never had any bad food here and I go about every other week. It does get busy about 12 b/c people on lunch break all want their amazing tacos or ANYTHING else there. The steak tacos are my favorite. Other than when they make the special tamales w the banana leaf. Those are the best I have ever had. Don't be scared it is in a shell station. It is better than 90% of restaurants. You can see the kitchen and it is very clean. They are always very nice. I don't speak Spanish and they are always helpful if I have questions about different food or the special of the day.“

“I don't know where these negative reviews come from. In fact I'm quite shocked when I went to leave this review I saw so many. I will occasionally drop by this location after work for dinner and every time they get my order spot on. This particular night, I had a bad day from work and needed to grab dinner. Went up to the window and paid and a young gentleman by the name of Cyrus asked me if my hand was okay (it is in a brace because I fit/weld for work). I told him it was just from work and we got into a quick conversation about his goals and wow I tell you, Taco Bell is very fortunate to employ such a bright individual. All I can tell you is that in that brief conversation I met a young man with great aspirations. His mannerisms were genuine and first-class. A true gentleman. If I were Taco Bell, I would acknowledge this type of character. Look if these negative reviews are credible, wait until you go to the Taco Bell locations SE of Atlanta. It will drive you away from from this chain. People like Cryus make the difference. A+ work ethic,.“

“Great people! Great food!“
