Good reviews led us to this small, popular hole-in-the-wall and we were so glad! The restaurant is pretty small but clean and neat with simple decor. It was fairly busy when we arrived at 4:15 pm and became more so. We were waved to a booth and menus, chops and salsa followed us there. My hubby was very hungry while I was only peckish. He ordered the chicken fajitas and I ordered 2 tacos (asada and carnitas) with a side of Guacamole. A margarita would have been nice, but they only served beer along with soft beverages, so we had water. The chips were crisp and tasty and the salsa was good. My small side of guacamole came out first and it was pretty large - served in the same size bowl as our salsa. It was tasty - full of cilantro, onions, and lime. My husband received a huge platter of grill chicken fajitas with onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms (also grilled). This was accompanied by flour tortillas and a side plate of rice, refried beans, guacamole, and salad. He decided these were the best fajitas he has ever had in Georgia! My tacos were well-filled and delicious - the meats were seasoned and grilled perfectly (and not fatty). They also provided two hot sauces - a red chile and a green tomatillo/hot pepper - which were yummy! The whole meal was only $23 before tax and tip - very reasonable and economical!! We will be back.

We always come here for tacos and shrimp cocktail. The steak tacos and intestine tacos are some of our favorites! But today we try to order something new, and it's still good as always. This is the only mexican food restaurant that we trust! I highly recommend this place!

We came around 6pm on a Wednesday and it was a very nice environment, very peaceful, music on but not too loud just softly playing. Our servers were very welcoming and the service was really good since they kept making sure we were doing okay! The supreme fajita nachos were DELICIOUS! Very good portions of food! The taquitos plate was also delicious, the flavor of the chicken taquitos was good, they weren't too crunchy and not soft they were just right! Asked for guacamole on the side and it did not disappoint! Only thing I'd add is more limon. We also had an agua de Jamaica and it was really good! If you don't like sweet water it might not be fit for you though. But the mango water was really good and not too sweet!

Great lunch specials here. Got chicken enchiladas for 7.99. Standard fare but quite delicious. I'll definitely come back to try their other items.

I have been going here for years! The food is always delicious and I'm always happy! Normally when I go out to eat, something is always messed up....but here? I have never once had a problem! My absolute favorite is the chicken tacos 2 corn tortillas big pieces of chicken so you know exactly what you are eating and the quality! It is a bit small, but quick to seat you and sooooooo worth any wait! Don't forget to-go is an option!

Great tacos, 3 for only $7.42! I got the carne asada, chorizo, and Al pastor. The carne asada was too oily but the chorizo and Al postor were great!?

A *fire* hole in the wall taco joint. Recently this place has been extremely busy so prepare for crowds as it's a small space. I got the ceviche tostada and a bunch of the various tacos to try. They also have delicious agua frescas! All of the staff is super kind and chatty. Food came out pretty quickly. Free chips and salsa for the table. Interiors are so cute, and make it seem like you're eating outside, surrounded by colorful houses and buildings. Would definitely come here again.
