By far our favorite Mexican restaurant! I’ve tried a lot of things and my go-to are the grilled chicken soft tacos add cilantro. Can’t be beat! Also their margaritas are made from scratch- so fresh! We love “marietta mexican”!
Have eaten here several times, always really good food and fixed quickly. They are busy because they are good.
I only write reviews of places that are excellent so I’m writing this review. I had a party of 4 and everyone loved the the food, service and margaritas. I had the Monte Alban quesadilla which was huge and delicious. I also ate my wife’s leftover fajitas which also was delicious. You gotta eat here!
Absolutely fantastic!! The veggie burrito was enormous!! And filled with fresh veggies including bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. Absolutely delicious!! Sonya was super friendly and stayed on top of all our orders and drinks.
Don't judge a restaurant by its parking lot. Everything is fabulous; food, atmosphere, waitstaff, cleanliness all wonderful. Don't miss the corn on the cob!
We were in South Carolina for a wedding and decided to eat here for our last meal. It was fabulous! Our server was wonderful and she went above and beyond. The team work exhibited was incredible. The food was on point, great portions and flavored to perfection. The atmosphere of the restaurant was enjoyable and not too loud.
Great Mexican restaurant with great specials! Very reasonable prices.
