Where are all the attentive servers everyone is talking about? This place could be amazing but the service we got was completely horrible. Me and my wife get seated and the girl brings chips and salsa and we get our drinks, etc. We were sitting inside but it was freezing to my wife so we moved outside. As we are finishing our chips and salsa I also finished my drink, the first one I had gotten at the beginning. So Im sitting there while three different people come outside numorous times and even see that its empty before I finally say something. We had ordered our food at this point and the food arrived 10 minutes later, still with no drink. I ate almost 3 of my 3 steak tacos before they finally came out with a first refill with no apologies like I havent been sitting there for 20 minutes with no drink. Attention to detail by everyone here is deplorable. The tacos were amazing though so shout out to the cook. Will not return here though. Pueblos is king.

This used to be our go to Mexican restaurant in Dawsonville. After today, that will never happen again. They must have changed management, because this place is now one of the worst places I have ever eaten.The placed was packed, but service was non-existent. Took 20 min. just to get chips and salsa, then 5 mins more for a drink.After 45 mins of waiting, my wifes food was cold and tasteless. Mine was warm and ok. Just horrible food and service. I will never go back here to eat again.I would recommend eating over at El Campesino on Hwy 53, there was a reason the line was out the door!

I tried to email you directly but no address available. The food was bad. We have always loved your food until today. Carne Asada was really bad. The meat you could tell had be already been cooked and barely heated up. Cheese dip was barely warm. My granddaughters quesadilla was barely warm. My taco salad with beef was not good. Not happy at all with the food. We heard later that the cook had changed. Will probably not be back for a long time to come. Too many other Mexican restaurants in the area to choose from.

This restaurant has some of the best Mexican food Ive personally ever tasted. There are lots of awesome waiters here that provide excellent service. The fact that people constantly try to diminish the reputation based off favoritism from previous management is pure ignorance. We all should know one persons word holds as much truth as a glass door. Come and decide for yourself if you like it or not. And if you have any problems or concerns, be an adult and ask before you run to your nearest social media outlet.

The waitress was very slow to check to see if we needed anything and my fox was undercooked and cold. We were the only customers here at the time. The table looked like it hasnt been cleaned and there were 2 flies in our pitcher of margarita, we told the waitress and showed her the flies and she took it to the back and never returned with a new one and didnt give us a refund so we will not return and do not recommend this place at all.

Steak was dry and tough and vegetables undercooked. Had to ask for silverware from someone that wasnt our waitress and had to get up and go to the bar and ask someone for steak sauce. Our waitress was preoccupied with a nice looking young man at the bar most all the time. Weve dined here in the past and always had good service but this visit was terrible. We wont be back for a long time.

Ordered the Chimichangas and asked for hamburger instead of the shredded beef and they gave me the shredded beef..Shredded beef is to chewy for me. The server offered to correct my order and to give me an order to go, but kinda lost my appetite.I think the kitchen staff needs to have better instruction in how to make what the customer wants! Maybe a quality control program would help.

Went here on a Friday at 7 PM. Set in the dining area for 35 minutes with no service, not even a drink or water. Then went to the bar and got a beer after 15 minutes and then sit there for another 25 minutes. Then they wanted to take my order. Horrible service,no tip!never ever coming back!dont waste your time or money!go somewhere else!! I would rate them 0 stars out of 5.

Always have the best time at this place! Went on a Friday after work with my family the food was delicious as always and our server was extremly attentive. Absolutly my fave mexican place to eat! Love the agua de horchata and portions are always huge. When any of my friends ask me about a good mexican place to eat I always recommend this place. Cant say enough about it!!

Food was ok. Srevice was absolutely horrible. One guy kept coming to table the not bringing the stuff we ordered then a second waiter would take order again and finally bring. When we arrived they seemed more interrested in watching TV then serving the customers,but food was ok. Will not go here again

I was served the wrong meal to begin with but toughed through the fact that I got pork instead of steak and then I got food poisoning. I will never be going back since this was my first impression of this establishment. My server wasnt friendly at all, either. I would never recommend this place!

Disgusting! Dirty dining area. Terrible wait time when there was only one other table occupied. Our salsa wasnt even salsa! It tasted and appeared to be marinara with black pepper sprinkled on top. We left before even ordering. If you cant make salsa I dont want to see how the entree is!

Friendly service, but food was no so great. I ordered the chicken ranchero, and it was just ok. The black beans were good, but the refried beans tasted old and soured. Disliked their salsa....way too much black pepper in it.

We only got sopa de pollo, guacamole, and carnitas, but the staff hooked us right up with margaritas and chips & salsa while we waited. Super nice folks and the food was right on too!

Always best deal in Dville. Been coming here for many yeats. Chicken soup will rock your sox off. Margs are brown to turn that frown upside down. Do it.
