Really liked this authentic eaterie with its vast menu, good draft beers and house margaritas. It was a lunch stop for 3 of us - perfect spot a minute off the I-75 and super-quick service and food delivery. Chips and salsa on arrival even before the drinks very welcome, too. So glad we found it - a happy day 1 lunch for us on vacation as we journeyed from Atlanta to Florida. $56 for three inc a beer, a margarita, a soft drink and as much as we could manage food-wise hit the spot perfectly.

The food was excellent, a good value, friendly staff ( they even allowed our dog inside!). Convenient to Hwy 75. We were traveling and it was a great stop!

The food was bad. Really bad. The waitress was bad. Really bad. She barely spoke English, and everything she told us was wrong. When it came time to pay, she took our credit card, placed it on the counter by the cash register, then walked away and left it there! If you’re considering dining here, don’t. There’s got to be much better restaurants here. We’re just passing through on our way elsewhere, so we’ll never find out.

Excellent shredded chicken quesadilla. I got this to go as the place was packed on a Friday at 6:00 pm. Price was good. Clearly a popular local place.

Service from Bo was great, margaritas were very good, atmosphere was traditional Tex-mex, and dining room featured some really good artwork on the walls and the chairs. The Mexican guacamole was as good or better from a spot in Mexico where we had just been on vacation. Large portions, good food, and good service. We will stop again when we come through here.

Fun place. Typical of many Mexican restaurants in the US, with brightly painted booths, loud Mexican music, etc. Service was good, somewhat surprisingly as they were busy and so many places are short staffed these post-pandemic days. Generously portioned food was very good. Total for two people, including tax and tip, was about $42 - not bad at all.

Overall service and food was good. Authentic. Portions of food serviced is also great. Would recommend this establishment to anyone.

Just about walked out the 2nd time I went bc I got ignored by a server several times who was serving the table right beside us for 5-6 mins before another server could see my concern. I understand if it's not her table. However just communicate with the customer to avoid an issue. That's the sort of situation that can cause a customer not to return. But both times the food was very good and well-prepared. Got the Tifton burrito and not only is it huge but it is excellent. Homemade spicy salsa is possibly the best I've had. Wish they had Pacifico but Tecate in can worked fine.

Our family consisted of 3 adults and 1 child. Everthing was wonderful from the warm chips, salsa and cheese dip to the Fajitas, Skirt steak, Tacos and Chicken Quesadilla. This may have been my first visit but will definitely not be my last!!

The food arrived in good time, but was a little disappointed. Before ordering, I had specifically asked if the crab was real crab meat, or if it was the artificial crab meat .. he said it was real - so I ordered the seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab). Guess what .. the crab meat was that horrible-tasting artificial stuff Annoyed, because I had been very specific BEFORE ordering Having said that, the rest of the food was fine
