    There are not many left. Both locations were too far away. Didn’t go. We loved the one on Lenox Rd in Atlanta, GA. It was our family restaurant, but unfortunately, they closed it last year. They had the best Margaritas and made their tortilla chips in the house where we could see… service was great, same waitresses for years!

    Ranchadillas were pretty good. House Margarita was okay… not my favorite sweet and sour flavor but tolerable. Bartender was very friendly and helpful

    We had to wait so long for trivial matters like take out boxes and waited so long for a few limes. We were so ready to go home but had to wait over 30 minutes just for 2 small boxes
