We loved our food from this restaurant. It's the best Mexican we've had in this area!

When we walked in the restaurant, we were immediately pleased with What we saw. The place was clean and inviting. Our experience was wonderful. We were greeted by the hostess and our server with such nice attitude. As soon as we sat down, warm chips and salsa were placed on the table. Oh my! So good! Our server, Ismael, was so sweet and made it clear that we should take our time. We did! The margarita I had was really good, my husband had a draft beer. When we were ready to actually have a meal, we were not too hungry, so I got the ground beef bowl and shared half with my husband- he had #11 combo. My beans, rice, tomatoes, etc complemented his meal perfectly. We are here in Clarkesville for a week but whenever in the area, I will ALWAYS stop by here for a meal and drinks.

Great Mex Food. We have not had a mediocre dish yet. I try a different meal each time we go. Love their salsa. BTW their Texas Margaritas are killer. Great place to go prior to a movie next door.

I met my nephew there, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, excellent food and amazing service. Both of our entrées were delicious. We had fajita quesadillas and chicken dish. The chips, salsa, and house margarita were very, very good! I probably should've looked at my receipt a little bit closer but it seems like there was an 8% tax and 17% tax. I tipped 20% on top of all of that. Not sure what the 17% tax was for. Great location, easy to get to, and will definitely be back!

This is our go-to local Mexican. Close to home. Consistent. Good skinny Margarita. Great nachos and enchiladas and burritos. The chips and salsa are pretty standard. It does get pretty noisy in the larger rooms because of how open it is and the larger tables for groups in the middle. Service is always pretty good and we always walk out feeling full.
