It is a really great authentic taco and mexican food joint. They do takeout and dine in. They have a lot of great items on the menu and some interesting decor. Also, it is open late. There are long wait times, though, because it is such a popular spot.

This place is so good!! The food, the vibe everything was perfect. We went out for lunch on Friday, did not have to wait. It’s normally busy everytime so the parking is hard to find in the complex

Me and my home girl loved this place. The lady said there was a 30 minute wait, but we ended up waiting less than 10 minutes. Lucky timing? I don't know. Anyways, we both got the Carne asada fajitas. My favorite part were the onions and green peppers LOL. The Carne asada was great but the vegetables really shined for me. Great customer service. Nice spot for late night eats.

Absolutely packed on a Friday night with a line of people waiting to be seated. Got the mushroom tacos, one in flour and one in corn tortilla. My friend got the fish tacos. All the tacos were absolutely gas, and the salsas were definitely a good level of spice. The quantities were adequate for the price. This place is worth it if you want authentic Mexican food!

This place has officially changed the game on where I will go for authentic Mexican food. It's fresh, portions are gigantic, the service impeccable. Smiles and laughs permeate the brightly lit decor and its feels like home. My new favorite place in Atlanta.

Ordered three different tacos(Shrimp,Octopus and Asada), two quesadillas(Tinga, Rojas) and two different fajitas (Fajitas de Pollo, Fajitas Texanas) . All of them tasted good. Not the best Mexican place in Atlanta but would definitely be towards the top. In fact, it was bang for the bucks. Would definitely go there specially for the environment and vibes.
I liked the Asada, Shrimp Taco and the Fajitas de Texanas.
The free chips and salsa was really good!

Amazing experience! We had a small wait of about 15 minutes but it was totally worth it. We got the steak parrillada and it could easily feed two people. We also got three tacos and they were also very good. Staff is friendly! Overall great experience.

I had a great experience eating here! They serve so much food for the price, it’s a steal! The chicken fajitas easily serve 2. The larger size tacos are also really filling. I tried the octopus taco and it was amazing! It was a unique taco I had never had before. The corn tortillas are also AMAZING.
They seated us really quickly even though it was really crowded and the food comes out super fast. I will definitely be going back and trying more dishes!

This place it’s very busy so keep in mind there will be a short wait time. However; the food it’s worth the wait! The tortillas are homemade and it’s all fresh. The chips and salsa are also good. The server was nice and very helpful.
