Reviews
my favorite Mexican restaurant been going here since I was a kid. I love it my favorite and in the area they just redid it in the inside. Looks great. The food is wonderful and the service is always good.
We came in with 6 adults and a toddler. Our waitress was kind and took our orders promptly. This was early evening on a Saturday. We didn't have a wait and the servers put together several tables in the bar area for us to all sit together. I had the chicken soup and it was amazing!!!! Who knew to order chicken soup?? I have a gluten intolerance so I verified the soup and fish tacos were both something safe for me to eat ( they used soft corn tacos) . I ordered a frozen margarita . There was small, medium and large. I chose the medium and it was HUGE!! I can't imagine the large ! The staff here was really good and everyone seemed to enjoy the food. We will be back!!
Rating a little higher than I should but I think many of the 'bad' reviews are a bit unfair . . . Stopped by on a Friday night and was not disappointed. Hours - The website and info online says they close at 10pm on Friday but the place was packed after 10pm. Maybe the kitchen closes at 10pm. Live Band - was pretty awesome. Country music and it was good. People dancing and having a good time in the bar area. The dining area was quieter so you can enjoy a conversation while eating if you are in that area. Very well done balancing the music and dining area. Service was ok - it was busy but the servers had a lot of inefficiencies and forgot things, like water, silverware, drink refills, etc. Server and Menu both remind you that food can take some time to come out so please be patient. Nice touch but better to also check on the guests WHILE they wait. Food - La Lancha which is grilled chicken and shrimp, covered with cheese. Yeah it is as delicious as that sounds. HINT: get the cheese on the SIDE use it to dip the super amazing chips into instead of ordering the cheese dip. Plus you can control how much cheese you want on your meal. Perfect for the lactose intolerant . . . also get a side of the corn tortillas, it is perfection. The chicken is overcooked so you need cheese or salsa to eat it alone, the tortillas with avocado, lettuce, and whatever makes it delightful. Camaron Poblano Asada which is a poblano pepper filled with melted cheese, shrimp, mushrooms, pico de gallo, and chipotle sauce wrapped around carne asada steak. SPICY depending on the poblano pepper. The server will remind you too, which was nice. Ours was SPICY and it was delightful. the steak was a bit dry but spicy from the poblano so it was pretty good, even if you can't eat the pepper, its good.
Had to come back and update my review since I actually dined in this time instead of takeout, and had an amazing experience. This place is so close to my house and I will be visiting often. Prices are fair, portions are huge, drinks are strong, and food is good! We visited around lunch time so we ordered Steak Fajitas, and a speedy Gonzalez combo, pair with some Margaritas! They weren't as busy so service was fast. Although it took them some time to come take our order, after they got it, food came out pretty fast. Everything tasted fresh, and well seasoned. The place in general was super clean and I love their decorations. Everyone wore masks, and we felt safe! ESPAÑOL Tuve que volver y actualizar mi reseña ya que en realidad cené en este momento en lugar de comida para llevar, y tuve una experiencia increíble. Este lugar está tan cerca de mi casa y lo visitaré a menudo. Los precios son razonables, las porciones son enormes, las bebidas son fuertes y la comida es buena. Visitamos a la hora del almuerzo, así que pedimos Steak Fajitas y un Speedy González, emparejado con Margaritas! No estaban tan ocupados, por lo que el servicio fue rápido. Aunque les tomó un tiempo venir a tomar nuestro pedido, después de que lo recibieron, la comida salió bastante rápido. Todo estaba fresco y bien condimentado. El lugar en general estaba súper limpio y me encantan sus decoraciones. ¡Todos llevaban máscaras y nos sentimos seguros!
This is our local Mexican close to home. We just moved back to Dacula and have been here several times in the past 3 months. Everything we have gotten has been good. I thought the pastor was a little boring but I just would not order it again. The steak here is very well seasoned. I also loved the steak wrapped Poblano pepper. This was such an amazing meal just typing it I want to eat it again. My usual go to is the fajitas. My son loves the nachos of any kind, especially the volcano ones (barbeque) and he usually gets tacos of some sort. Everything is good and service is good. Gets busy during peak hours on the weekend but you can usually get in without waiting too long.
