The only positive here was the waitstaff, who were genuinely kind and doing their best to be attentive. Unfortunately, everything else really needs improvement.
First, the cleanliness. The restaurant didn’t feel well-maintained—there were water-stained and broken ceiling tiles, worn-out booths with no springs, and a women’s bathroom floor that looked like it hadn’t been mopped in a long time. A cleaner, fresher atmosphere would make a huge difference.
Next, the food. The tacos, with absolutely no flavor, were buried under clumps of cheese and far too much sour cream, which completely overpowered the chicken. On top of that, there weren’t any authentic Mexican-style taco options, which was disappointing for a place that calls itself a Mexican restaurant.
Then, the guacamole. This was supposed to be an appetizer, but it was brought out AFTER the meal, without chips, and was so watered down it didn’t even resemble fresh—or even store-bought—guacamole. My family and I couldn’t stomach more than one bite. To their credit, the staff did refund us for it. However, what a disappointment in a dish they claimed was fresh.
Overall, while the staff were decent, the food, atmosphere, and presentation just weren’t there. With some changes—cleaner surroundings, more authentic flavors, and better attention to detail—this place could improve a lot.

Delicious and authentic mexican food. The chips and salsa to begin the delights is a plus. Photos by Homeric now in Atlanta.

I highly recommend! Just stopped in for the first time and it did not disappoint me! The food was so much better than expectations! Our server was fast and friendly. He made sure everything was right and kept our drinks filled up. If you are out and about and wanting a nice meal this is definitely the place to try! It was so good! I really hate that I didn’t get the servers name but I will definitely be back!

We loved our lunch at Lalito's this afternoon! Everyone enjoyed their meals, & the service was exceptional. The best meal we've had since moving to Georgia. Highly recommend the Fajita Nachos (the steak & white cheese sauce are amazing!). This is our new favorite place in the area. 😊

A very good place for Mexican cuisine. The food was seasoned perfectly. Not too much or too little.

Haven’t been here in quite some time, but this place was a childhood staple for me. My parents would bring me here all the time. The food’s great, and I’d recommend to anyone passing through Trenton.

The Bruno server needs to be fired he did next to nothing the entire time while they had one guy running around helping everyone by himself. I think he sat a couple of tables and that’s it. I’d also like to add that I eat here every week and he’s always like that when I’m here.
