Just okay service. Kinda meh food. Hip hop Pandora playlist with annoying commercials. Soccer on the screens. One of those things is 100% acceptable in a bar style Mexican restaurant. I seriously gave up on eating one of my tacos because I got tired of eating it and moved on to another item. Took my taco to go and it was so forgettable that I left it in the car and when I remembered it, I figured it wasnt too much of a loss to let go to waste; and I hate wasting food.

Certainly a top 5 Mexican restaurant in ATL. Food is tasty with great people watching opportunities. The margaritas can also be particularly potent when requested. Last time I visited with a friend from out of town, and she disappeared from our table after drinking 1/2 a Coronarita. After sending out a large search party, she was eventually located out back behind El Potros dumpster spewing vomit! Ill plan to go back!

WORSE FOOD EVER! The service is not bad but the food is far from good. Out of the mexican places Ive visited in Atlanta, this is the one that disappointed me in all senses. The enchiladas sauce is canned, theres no way is locally made. The flautas are tiny and flavorless. The "aguas frescas" are just sugar with color, impossible to drink. If I wanted american food that wants to pass as mexican, Id go to Taco Bell.

Just went here for dinner based on the reviews we saw. The food/experience is typical cheap mexican food (sub par food and sub par service, no salsa refill offered), nothing special. My problem was with the price. We ended up paying $40 with tip for a pitcher of margaritas, cheese dip and we split a cheap combo meal. Sounds off for cheap mexican food am i right? $30 wouldve been fair.

I love, love, love this place! All the staff and management provide great customer service, the food is perfect, and the drinks are on point. I stay in Marietta, almost 30 minutes away... but I will drive 30 minutes to get here because it is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I like the eggs with chorizo!

Used to be amazing but the non entree items have gone downhill. Margarita were weak, cheese dip was overly runny, and the salsa just tastes like stewed tomatoes. The entrees are still decent but the overall experience is inferior. Id prefer a slightly higher price instead of quality reductions.

EXCELENTES FAJITAS. LO UNICO MALO QUE PARA TODAS LAS OTRAS COMIDAS UTILIZAN MUCHO LA CARNE MOLIDA DE POLLO Y DE RES.

Ill admit, this place is close to where I live, so I have some bias towards coming here. That being said, Ive tried multiple shrimp options and they are all excellent. The service is very fast - even with larger crowds.

This was one of my favorite restaurants and theyre wonderful, except they cannot guarantee consistent service. They currently have no chips. If you plan on visiting here, call first and make sure nothings missing.

My wife and I have come here a few times and loved it. Last night we ordered two entrees and a pitcher of margarita - all of which were very good. Our final bill was $36. Unbelievable!

Our favorite lunch spot near the office. Staff is always friendly, they even have our order memorized! Great food, prices are fair, and portions are large for lunch.

Food is good here and is Tex-Mex style Mexican food. Service is average and most items are priced well. Be prepared to speak up if you run out of salsa/chips, etc.

Its not fancy , closer to run down, but it is very good. The patio is great. Food and frozen Margaritas are great. And service is good.

Some good Mexican food in the "hole in the wall" environment. Six dollar lunch specials that leave your tummy nice and full.
