    The mexican food was great, came for dinner on a Sunday and while busy, there was seating available to sit right away. There were lots of different flavor margaritas; we had the mango chamoy and it was just the right flavors. We had a strawberry lemonade and quesobirria tacos - fantastic.

    As you can see from the pic, food looked really good. Mexican food in Atlanta is very different from Denver. That being said, for me it was bit bland and the green chilli was okay. And that could be because what I'm use to in Mexican food. The owner as well as all other works were very tentative and helpful.

    Food was really good. I had to downgrade the star because the only thing that didn't sit right with me personally was the enchilada sauce had way too much cinnamon in it. Or at least that's the flavor I got. Otherwise my meal was very enjoyable and everyone else I was with fully enjoyed their meals. The staff was great. Our waitress was super nice.

    Went because it had good reviews and this place was AWFUL. Asked for hot chile and was given medium so that explains why everything tasted like wet cardboard, there was a hair in the food and the chile rellenos barely had any chiles in them. Whitest mexican food I've had, such a disappointment. Overpriced and bad quality and plating.

    This place has very good star ratings, so we decided to give it an opportunity. We ordered Menudo to take home. We ordered 5 menudos and paid close to $90 which we don’t mind if it’s a good quality menudo. But once we got home it was all broth, very little tripe mostly hominy. Menudo broth tasted like water with some colorant because it had no flavor. So for those who are in the search of a Good Authentic Menudo for that hangover craving avoid this place. The Bolillo was the only good part. Again I don’t mind wasting my money when ordering out but I do mind paying for tasteless unflavored food. The place is nice and people upfront very friendly and welcomes you with a smile. That’s why I give some starts.
