    Salty refried beans

    Since moving from LA I've been trying to find good Mexican food. Seems like I still can't. I DoorDash chicken taquitos. Food quality was horrible. I called them & asked if small guac & sour cream came with it & she told me no. Only guac option for me to order was the $10 with chips. I get the food & what do u know. It came with chips, salsa, guac, sour cream. So I wasted $10 for nothing. Both guacamole's were brown & needed a little salt. Refried beans were salty, the taquitos were to big like a burrito. I didn't like the taste. Won't be going back

    Bit in to my chimichanga Found a FINGERNAIL in my food. Instead of taking ownership and fixing the issue the manager was extremely rude and nonchalant. It sad because this was one of my favorite spots. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!

    Excellent service, and affordable prices. Plus free parking which isn't abundant in downtown Decatur. I had the chicken chimichanga and a frozen margarita and sat outside on an unseasonably warm Dec afternoon. The ambiance is understated and comfortable.

    Tacos de birria
    Zee S.

    I ordered on DoorDash so I don't have a review as far as the service... It was my first time trying the tacos de birria.. They were really good and seasoned well!! They also came with chips and salsa.. I'd give the food 8/10

    Guacamole Tesano

    Simple goodness! I used to come here every now and then when I lived in Decatur. It has been a few years, so when I saw the name pop up on UberEats as I was looking for some Mexican food, I decided to check out the options. Back when I used to come here, the ambiance was super casual with hole in the wall feels, and the service was good albeit a bit challenging due to a slight language barrier. I can't speak on how it is today, but I'm sure it's still good! Everything was packed up cleanly, the portions are nice, prices are decent, and everything tasted great. For my appetizer, I got an order of guacamole tesano, which is chopped avocado with pico de gallo. It tasted fresh and I loved the chunky texture on top of the crunchy tortilla chips. For my entree, I chose the burrito de frijoles (refried beans and queso dip inside). It came with sour cream, lettuce, and tomato on the side. I was surprised to see salsa on top of the burrito. Normally, I'd love this but I was slightly disappointed at first because I had it in my mind that I was expecting a dry burrito I could hold in my hands that was filled with creamy queso dip and warm beans. Regardless, it was flavorful and delicious and after taking a bite I wasn't disappointed anymore but very pleased. My meal also came with chips and salsa! The salsa had a really nice kick of spice to it. I'll definitely be ordering more from here in the future.

    Grouper enchiladas, beans, rice
    Kelly M.

    Low key spot in Decatur with great chips and salsa. In general, I think their food and drinks are just ok. I've had much better margaritas. The house seemed watered down. I did really enjoy the grouper enchiladas. They were delicious!!

    Oh we like!!! It's black Friday and my son and I decided not to shop but to go get food( i didn't cook for Thanksgiving-no leftovers). We were actually headed to Fellini's across the street but decided to check out this place and I am so happy that we did. The food was great the drinks were delicious and the service was really good. I was a little surprised that no one was really there, one would think that everything would be crowded because of Black Friday, but no one was there.. we were able to get in and out without any fuss! I could see parking being a problem if there was a crowd. I'm excited about this place, we love Mexican food and its not to far from home and the lunch menu is very reasonable! We will definitely be back soon!

I've told myself a couple of times to stop by and finally had an opportunity yesterday. When I'm stressed I seek out two things. Tacos and boiled peanuts. I came onto Yelp and looked for Mexican restaurants near the farmers market and this one was at the top of the list. I was also having a mini reunion with a friend that I haven't seen in over 17 years. There is limited seating and most of the tables will comfortably fit two people. I had to keep my purse in my lap, because I was uncomfortable leaving it hanging on the chair since our table was snug against a wall and there was no where to actually leave it so it would be out the way. The red salsa that comes with the chips is extremely spicy in my opinion. I had to drown mines in the green salsa just to be able to eat it. I went with the pork, chicken and one shrimp taco. Upon return, I could simply get the pork and chicken ones and be happy. I bought a total of six and ended up taking two to-go. These are real street tacos with corn tortillas, plenty of filling and just a simple delight. My margarita was strong enough for a Sunday afternoon of smiles, and long conversations. I think it was pretty brisk business for a Sunday and lots of people were taking their food to go, so there were tables opening up if you're willing to wait. There is also a patio table out back near the parking lot but it was too hot to sit outside if I didn't have to. Next time I have a farmer's market trip planned, I'm sure to stop here. I want to try the 12 tacos for $30 but I need at least two friends to finish it off. 5 star!!!

There were so many tempting options on the menu, but we landed on the empanadas with mango slaw, birria tacos with a side of vegetables, and the enchiladas suizas. Every single dish was mouthwateringly delicious--nothing fell short of spectacular. Even the service stood out; our waitress was outstanding and made the whole experience even better. The portions are generous, and what really sets this place apart is the seasoning. Each dish had its own unique twist that elevated it well beyond your standard Mexican menu. The slow-cooked meat in both the empanadas and birria tacos was incredibly tender--so good it kept us going back for "just one more bite" long after we were full. And the tomatillo sauce on the enchiladas? Easily the best I've ever had--and I don't say that lightly. I'm a bit of a tomatillo sauce snob, and this one completely blew me away. We're just visiting the area, but this quaint little spot--with its charming covered patio--left a lasting impression on our trip. If you're local, this should be in your regular rotation. If you're visiting, don't miss it
