Mama Gail's/Señor Pastor Mexican Cuisine

I heard so many friends rave about this place, I finally passed by at the right time and ordered the California burrito ($14).

I was expecting to see avocado and sour cream inside, but it was very meat-heavy with potatoes and onions and nothing else that I could see. It was VERY tasty but so heavy. Delicious homemade tortilla. Came with a few homemade chips and one hush puppy type thing that tasted like fried cornbread. I may stop again but try something else.

If I could give it six stars, I would. This place is AWESOME. The food tastes amazing, the customer service is great, and the folks are very nice. The prices are reasonable, portions are large, and the flavor is spectacular. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this spot to friends.

I went in for a bike because it was close by and I figured it would be a quick In-N-Out with passable food. I was usually surprised by the flavor, the friendliness, The price, and the speed with which I was served a delicious meal. I had empanadas on day one and it made such an impression I brought my dad back for lunch the next day, Where I had La Casa del Pastor, Which was amazing. Everything on my plate at all times had a wonderful sublime fit flavor That made an impression, even the side salad. Highly recommended. If you haven’t been here yet, it’s time to go.

Love this place. Mama is awesome. Señor REALLY knows what he’s doing back there- some very chef-y skills. The soups are spectacular when they have ‘em. When you first drive up, tell your fellow adventurers, “remember y’all, looks can be deceiving”.

We were leaving Atlanta to head back to Tennessee and we were hangry! We didn’t really want to stop close to Atlanta or the suburbs so we drove out of that region. I was craving Mexican food so my husband found this place. It used to be a gas station turned restaurant. The woman running it was amazing! The food is phenomenal!! Very flavorful and authentic. I’m half Mexican on my dad’s side and this tasted like his home cooking! They have homemade corn tortillas. We got the 3 pack of street tacos. I had the carne asada, carnitas, and their special of the day, barbacoa. Everything was so delicious that we also ordered 2 burritos to take with us on the way home to eat later.

Have your expectations set... this is not fine dining. But... the quesadilla (with pork) was out of this world delicious.

Salsa isn't great and you should maybe skip the corn fritter but the main dish eclipsed everything else. Fabulous flavor and the owner and staff were super friendly.

I would go regularly if I lived closer.

One of my favorite meals on the way back home to SC from NC. If you haven’t stopped here, you should. The attention to detail on their food is rare to find.

Just wrapped up a work project in Rabun County and decided to swing by Mama Gail's/Senor Pastor to see what the buzz was about and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I ordered the pastor torta, and for just $12, I got a massive, flavor-packed sandwich that was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The food alone is worth the trip, but what really made the stop special was the friendly vibe and great conversations with some of the locals. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won’t regret it!
