    El servicio siempre es bueno, muy amables pero la calidad de la comida no siempre es buena. Ordene tacos de asada esta vez y la carne estaba medio dura. La agua de jamaica estaba rica y no dulce. Talvez varea la calidad en diferentes dias pero hoy no estubo buena :(

    Hole in the wall place next to a gas station. It's authentic and basic Mexican food. It's cheap and nothing fancy. Only down side is that there is no alcohol.

    The service was quick & friendly, and the breakfast plate and burrito were great! Glad we found this authentic, casual spot to get breakfast (served all day) while we staying at Lake Lanier nearby.

    Hands down best tacos I've ever had. So good. The service was awesome and the price is good for the amount of food you get.

    Taco Jalisco is an amazing authentic taqueria and Mexican spot. Right off of Lee street, its service is awesome and will get you out the door fast. Great prices and a really nice horchata. Please give this taqueria a try!

    Carne asada tacos
    Luke M.

    This place is just incredible. The food is so yummy it almost makes the thought of cardiovascular disease sound nice! The service is lighting quick and the staff is very friendly. I could not recommend this place enough. Top 3 taco spot in Buford, which is saying a lot!

    Mexican Breakfast Platter #SoGood

    This spot was everything I hoped it would be. I added this stop to my bookmarks when I saw the high Yelp ratings. Yelp Community, you did not disappoint on this one! This is an easy to find spot in Buford. It's attached to a convenience store/gas station and laundromat. Every time I have been, parking has been full on the restaurant side, but I've been lucky parking at the laundromat on the other side of the store (hope that's ok - they usually have lots of spots). When I have visited (always on weekend mornings for breakfast), the small restaurant has always had lots of patrons, but we have been able to get a seat right away. Service is quick and super friendly. Scan a QR code for the menu or check out items posted above the counter. They seem to do a brisk take-out business, judging from the constant, fast-moving line at the counter. Every time I go, I get a breakfast platter with eggs and veggies with beans and rice. The tortillas are perfection. And the eggs with jalapenos and added spicy salsas wake me up and get me ready for the day. And I am never disappointed with refried and beans and rice. The last time I visited, I noticed every single table around me ordered the menudo, so I think I have to break out of my routine and order it next time. Thanks for the introduction to this new fave! Excited to try lunch or dinner and the menudo soon!

    Chicken quesadilla with rice & beans
    Ruthy M.

    Initially this place looked sus because it's near a gas station. When I opened the container the presentation was horrible, but let me tell you DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD I EVER TASTED. This place is a small mom and pop restaurant. It's fresh authentic Mexican food. Initially I was upset I only got 2 pieces of quesadilla, but I was fully with just the 2. When you walk in the restaurant you can just smell the aroma. The beans was salty but the rice balances it out the chicken was so flavorful. They're salsa verde sauce isn't really spice Def try this place out guys !

    Steak Burrito
    Ray S.

    Best burritos I've had in a long time!! Simple but damn good!! My coworker and I tried this place during our lunch break while working from our company's R&D lab. Found this place on yelp and saw that it wasn't that far. My coworker who was visiting from Mexico complied that we should give it a try. She got the carne asada taco lunch special and I got the burrito special. Not long after we ordered we got our plates and chowed down. My coworker loved the food and the place is very authentic. I can't wait to go again!! I think every time I come up here I'll need to stop by. Forget Taco Bell ... get ya some Taco Jalisco! Yum yum get ya some.

    Steak, egg, rice, beans, hot sauce (green) with fresh onion & cilantro. Omg so good!
    Brienna O.

    Delicious. Hubby & I were craving breakfast burritos - this place nailed it! Everyone was kind, friendly, checked on us constantly. They have an option to add rice & beans for an extra $1. One of the few places I found that does more than egg & meat in the burrito. Booths were cute & it's a cute spot. Doesn't look like much from the gas station parking lot but it's worth a visit ! We will be back!

    As close to authentic Mexican food as you'll find in the area, along with friendly service.

    My "Go-to" brunch spot when I'm in Georgia! My first time in…read moreMarch 2025 didn't disappoint and my second time, December 2025, didn't either. The second time I came back we were greeted with a 30-min wait, which was expected due to the weekend and peak hour. But to our surprise we were actually seated within 15-minutes. While we waited, I used the restroom for the first time and it was clean and smelled fresh with cute decor. We were served with drinks right away and our server was very pleasant and accommodating. We looked at the menu beforehand, but last minute my husband and I decided to try recommended dishes. Here's our spread: Strawberry Short stack - 5/5 Sausage and egg biscuit with - 4/5 Cowboy omelette - 5/5 Chicken & Waffles - 5/5 Philly Fries Meal - 5/5 Bottomless Sweet Tea - 5/5 The pancakes were moist and fluffy with the right amount of sweetness. My daughter swore she'd eat the entire stack, but of course we knew otherwise. My mother in law enjoyed the sausage and egg biscuit, the sausage was a little more well done than she'd like but everything was seasoned well. The Philly fries were a surprise due to its massive size. My family demolished it. It was seasoned well with the right balance of meat, onions and cheese, my daughter wanted to it all by herself lol. The Cowboy omelette was also massive. The eggs cooked well stuffed with all the fixings - they definitely didn't skimp on it. Topped with fresh guacamole and salsa it was a delight. The chicken and waffles was recommended by our server and my husband was amazed by the whole dish. The balance of sweet and salty and the textures were perfect. The crunch of the chicken didn't take away from the moist meat. He created his "perfect bite" with a piece of chicken and waffles and it was heavenly. I'd definitely get it for myself next time. The waffle had a slight bite but also moist. I've experienced dry waffles before and this proved otherwise. Overall the experience was great. The service was excellent especially during a rush hour. Also we were very happy to see the Christmas decor. It really felt like a hometown feel and we enjoyed every minute. Definitely have Oy! on your list for brunch with the family! I'd visit once a week if I could.

    Came here for brunch on Saturday and the place was pretty busy, as expected. We waited about 45…read moreminutes before getting seated. The atmosphere was lively. We ordered a few different dishes including steak and eggs, French toast, pancakes with bacon, and a burger with fries. The steak was cooked nicely, but it was a little tough. The French toast was thick and tasty, but it tasted more like bread pudding to me--it wasn't as light and fluffy as traditional French toast. The pancakes were simple but good. Portions were generous and definitely filling. Overall, the food was good, but not quite as impressive as I had expected. I also wish their juice was fresh squeezed. Overall, it's a solid brunch spot, but with a few small improvements it could be even better.

The experience was awesome and very fun. Poker night is free to play but you get bonus chips if you buy beers. I got a flight of beers and got bonus chips. The poker night was very fun and the players were very friendly and helpful. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to poker so it was encouraging to play amongst such kind players. The beers from the flight were all good but my favorite was the dark beer which had a chocolatey taste to it. 5 solid stars for Elixir Brew and I highly recommend coming to the Poker Night and enjoying some brewskies and friendly atmosphere at the same time.
