“good food!! Excellent service“

“10/10 🥰 my favorite restaurant in Dalton.“

“Everything fresh and authentic! Can't beat their hand made tortillas. The steak street tacos are not to be missed. The place is kind of far from me but it's definitely worth the drive. A casual and friendly atmosphere, not fancy, just REAL.“

“I've been eating here for years. I keep coming back because I can get authentic Mexican food for a reasonable cost. The service is excellent. Try the carnitas tacos. Watch out for the hot sauce they serve with them. I love it but it is muy picante. (very spicy)“

“I was quite surprised (in a good way) when I walked in the door and immediately felt like I’d walked in to a Disney resort.

The murals, alone, were worth going there for, but the service is also outstanding - I’ve been twice and each time the servers gave me excellent food recommendations so I could try something outside of my normal go-to’s.

The potions are enormous. I’m talking I had lunch and dinner the following day from my leftovers. The food quality is excellent and it’s so fast. Everyone was friendly and lovely. I will definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for excellent food or who loves walking in to places that surprise you with how they look inside.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: I don’t see any accessibility issues.“

“Great place to eat and hangout.“

“Update: 08/17/2025

Ask for the verde salsa: it is medium heat with good flavor and it does cost extra but worth it in my opinion.

Texas Fajitas with light onions and peppers are is my current favorite dish.

Original:
I love the El Agave quesadilla and El Agave burrito!
I stumbled on if you get the El Agave burrito and cut it all up and mix it real good after adding about half a side of their fries and adding an entire bowl of their red salsa it is AMAZING!!!! See pics

The El Agave burrito has Shrimp, Chicken, Steak, Chorizo, with rice n beans and some salsa verde it sits in on the plate. They pour some queso over it too. They add onions into the burrito but I tend to pick out the big chunks of onion because I tend to prefer onions a bit more chopped up

I do love to get a soft shell carne asada taco as well as they are very good too.

I think this place is better now than when it used to be Tres Amigos. Back then I didn’t eat there and now I definitely do.

I came back and got the El Agave Nachos substitute nachos for Fries and OMG! It is 17.99 but worth it and I need two bowls of salsa to dump on it…mmmmmmm! Foodgasm“

“A friend had been suggesting this place for a while and we finally tried it. WOW! Everything was absolutely delicious“

“Great wings and fries 🍟..“

“Best restaurant in Dalton“

“muy buen servicio muy hamables muy rica la comida mi número uno se los recomiendo“

“Delicious!!! Best Elote combo I’ve had in town. Not to forget the sweet mini pancake plate was amazing!!!! Definitely recommend and will be back to try other menu items“

“Always have a good meal and margarita here. Great staff. Whoever they got cooking back there knows their stuff. My company puts me up in a nearby hotel whenever things go wrong with my semi, so I end up here a lot throughout the year. Always have a good meal here“

“THE FAJITA CHIKEN DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE FAJITA VEGGIES!! I was a little confused reading the menu when I saw “fajita chicken.” I’m sure they would have given us some if we asked. The beef and cheese nacho was great. The rice and beans are amazing. The toppings are extremely fresh and staff was extremely friendly.“

“My favorite local Mexican restaurant. Best tacos in town!“

“I can’t never get enough of this place everything always fresh“

“Food is delicious I love there sopes“

“😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🤫🤫🤫🤫“

“There was no waiting time to get a table, you go in and order what you want then you sit wherever you want, then they bring your food to your table. They serve chips and salsa while you wait. For my taste buds I did not like the fried beans the rice was ok. The steak nachos are delicious and the fresh drinks are good too. I have had there tacos before and they where good too.“

“For years, my family has sung the praises of this unassuming corner supermarket and taqueria in Dalton, GA, a town known as a mecca for taquerias. Stepping into this taqueria feels like being transported to a vintage Mexican eatery. The interior boasts earthy tones with bold, vibrant colors as accents, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly sets the stage for an authentic dining experience.

The menu, a massive banner proudly displayed on the wall, showcases a variety of traditional Mexican dishes, each one a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Mexico. On this visit, I opted for the gorditas and tacos, and I was not disappointed. Every bite reflected the care and pride that goes into their preparation. The tortillas, handmade by warm, motherly women who seem to pour love into every press of the dough, are a highlight—fresh, soft, and the perfect foundation for the flavorful fillings.
The gorditas were plump, perfectly cooked, and bursting with authentic flavors, while the tacos were hot, fresh, and packed with ingredients that tasted like they were straight from a Mexican abuela’s kitchen. Each dish is made to order, ensuring that every plate arrives steaming and delicious. The attention to detail and commitment to tradition make this taqueria stand out in a town filled with competition.

Dalton may be brimming with taquerias, but this spot rises above the rest as a true gem. For anyone craving authentic Mexican food served with heart and soul, this taqueria is a must-visit. I wholeheartedly recommend it!“

“Such an amazing place it may be small however the food is beyond measure! The flavor, the portion size is absolutely perfect, and at a great price! I highly recommend this place to everyone in and out of the area, the food is spectacular 💯👏❤️“

“Got some tacos. They were okay. Not as good as what I’ve had closer to where I live, but probably the best in this area. I’d try other things from here if I came back, but not the tacos.Saw a cockroach crawling around near the pots, but I still ate the food. I see a bug or two in my kitchen sometimes, but I still eat. Just trying to get the point across to not be turned off by this place if you choose to eat inside. I think it is cute and would recommend it to others. Just appreciate it for what it is and eat the food!I loved listening to the ladies talk while they cooked my food. Very sweet people.“

“Everything is gluten free as the owner has a gluten allergy. So tasty. Worth it. Nice people. Great atmosphere.“

“precio y calidad, excelente ambiente“

“After not been here for a while me and my husband came back to a whole new place the manager is pretty good with people and actually pays attention to their customers the new waitress are friendly and and also recommend great food new menus I really love how karaoke night gets it’s a great environment I see people have a great time. And are very friendly I highly recommend this place“

“5 Stars chicken mmmm Best in Dalton!“

“Sò delicious definitely 5 out of 5 stars recommend everybody try this place at least once“

“We ordered for delivery (against our better judgement). We didn't receive tortillas for an order of fajitas. Called the restaurant and got hung up on 3 times. Called DoorDash and tried to resolve it and THEY HUNG UP ON THEM TWICE. I have screen caps of this. My daughter's quesadilla gave her cramps until 4am and my chicken seemed like it was boiled. In liquid distilled from sadness. But with less seasoning. Life is too short to deal with crap like this. Cook at home, people. It's better for you and way less frustrating.“

“The food at El Sueno is great and I recommend the restaurant for that alone. When we first started going there the service was excellent and that along with the great food made going there an enjoyable experience. Now, the service pretty much sucks. Tonight, August 17, 2023, my husband and I went there to eat. Not sure what our servers name was but he was the tall guy with a beard. It took me telling him 3 times what I wanted to drink, Dr. Pepper, before he got it right on the order. Then when we finally got our drinks he couldn't remember if I had Dr. Pepper or Coke and couldn't remember what he had put in the glass. We didn't get our chips & salsa and drinks until we got our meals. I was pleased with the food itself but the salsa was not as good as it normally is. We will go back, however, if the service isn't any better then we will take our business elsewhere.“

“The food was soooooooo good it was yummy for my tummy and the service was good they were busy but my waitress was on top of it all please try to go by and check them out trust me you will find out it’s the best Mexican restaurant in dalton and you will be telling your friends about it, loved loved loved it!“

“Took my girls out for some early dinner after school shopping. The atmosphere is nice and the restaurant is cutely decorated. Portions were AWESOME. Plenty of food for the money. The salsa had a nice kick to it and the chips were so warm and fresh!! The food was super fresh and steaming hot. It was a nice outing with some delicious food! The waiter was the only one on the floor, but he worked diligently with a wonderful attitude. I even took food to go and they waited to bring it out when I was done and it was fresh too! I love this cute little spot. It’s perfect for some good Mexican food!“

“To me it's about as authentic as we can get here locally. I've been totally satisfied with the 5 or 6 different dishes I have tried out and they always treat me very courteous (even if I can't communicate so well with a young lady who doesn't speak English). We always work it out with a translation app. I recommend.“

“After nearly a decade away, I recently revisited Chihuahua Panaderia and was thrilled to find their Mexican sweet bread just as heavenly as I remembered. Each piece is a masterpiece—visually stunning, meticulously crafted, and bursting with authentic, unforgettable flavor. The artistry and quality here are unmatched; other bakeries simply can’t compare to the passion and skill of these artisans. A true gem that’s stood the test of time!“

“Very amazing tacos! I had gotten steak tacos and the meat was so flavorful and juicy. Customer service is excellent!“
