We ate there on 4/26/26 the restaurant was very clean. we were seated quickly and was greeted by server as soon as we were seated. We all ordered and food was quickly delivered piping hot. We almost burned our mouth it was so hot, it was outstanding! I live 45 miles away but the drive would be worth it for food this good. read more

It was me and my friend's first time ever walking into the restaurant and it gave me the authentic Mexican restaurant vibe. The service was absolutely amazing, chilled, and the waiter that served me and my friend was very attentive and willing to help us whatever our taste buds needed at the moment. The food was absolutely delicious, especially my own meal, as it was my first time having shrimps within tacos or seafood in a taco and I must admit that it was rather delicious (something that a seafood or a burrito enthusiast would love to put their taste buds to). The yellow rice was tasteful and a rice enthusiast would fall in love with it. Of course, the taco salad looked really delicious but it was my friend's entree and she did not tell me how it tasted BUT I could visually see that she ate not only the contents within the bowl but the bowl itself, which was clear indication to me that it was really good. read more

Come here everyone we pass thro town. Get the white burrito. I don't know why but I've tried most of the menu and I swear it's the best.

Yum yum yum!!! We had a sweet server (and I'm so bummed I didn't catch her name) who was attentive and prompt. The place is very chill without a million things hanging everywhere. Plenty of tables, clean atmosphere, great food. We were so glad to find this little gem. We had the chimichangas and fajitas read more

We have been going to El Tejado for about 20yrs or more. We moved from Macon in 1996 and they were here then. Their food has always been great! We didn't eat out a lot in the early years but we ate there when we did go out. Their food has always been consistent with good service and knowledge about the food and drinks. Their Restaurant is clean with a warm environment. read more

Had the street tacos which were very good nice flavor. Service could have been better.

Can take my puppy with no we aren't , on the patio. Food and service is great. Drinks are good too.

Very good food and great service. We had a burrito and enchilado combo. Loaded with chicken and a cheese sauce. Came with rice and refried beans. Chimichanga was very taste and loaded with chicken. This was a great stop off of I-16. Will return here for a nice stop and a meal. read more

Holy Nachos. After ordering bean and cheese nachos for $11.99 I was beyond surprised when my plate came with 10, yes 10, chips and a spoonful of beans on top. Baskets of free chips are flowing in the place but when you order you get 10? Good thing Forsyth is the law enforcement capitol of the state, it should be easy to get a robbery warrant for the rip-off that just occurred. Buyer beware. read more

Driving through Forsythe, hungry. Looked at a few restaurant reviews but most offerings were fast food. Drive by this parking lot and it was full - that is a good sign. Seated right away. Great menu, fantastic service, very good Mexican food. Try the chimichanga - it is made right. If you leave room for dessert (or just want to keep eating), try the fried ice cream. read more

I ordered the steak chimichanga dinner that comes with rice, beans and a guacamole salad. It was nice and crispy and the steak was nice and tender. Good flavor! The chips and salsa weren't so good but it was 9pm so they probably been there for a while. We've eaten here several times but never in this section of the dining room. I was surprised to see a family restroom tucked in the corner of this dining room. Very strange place for a restroom. Also there was a TV directly behind my head with the sound on at first playing baby TV and then they switched it to Cartoon Network. That was annoying! Overall though food was good service was good and we had a good experience. read more

The street tacos were insanely delicious. The seafood burrito was also very tasty. The staff was kind and speedy! Would go again! read more

Food was great! Service not so. Reasonable price. Good time and everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Lunch date with my high school/colleague friend. It was my first experience. The wait to be seated was not prompt although there was no one else waiting but the food was great. I'm sorry I don't have a better photo as my other one came out fuzzy but I had the Alambres Texas Fajitas. The sweet tea was really good as well. The salsa a little bland for my liking....needs a little more kick to it but overall a wonderful experience. I would return. read more

Plate was hot but that was about it. No tortillas, no tea, beans were like gravy, hot sauce was mostly tomatoes no flavor. Not a real Mexican restaurant compared to Texas. Better off at Taco Bell read more

I was in town for a few days and tried this place out. This is one of the few sit down restaurants in Forsyth where it opens past 9pm. I believe their hours are M-Thur until 10pm and Weekends until 11pm. I got some grilled steak with bacon and cheese on it. It came with fajita wraps and refried beans and rice. Guacamole and sour cream. It was really tasty. Service was good as well. I definitely will come back and recommend this place to anybody in town. read more

Great stop on a road trip. Fresh ingredients to include beens, guacamole and marinated meets. Rice was good but nothing special. Table salsa had just enough kick. Friend had the carne Asada with corn tortillas. Myself, the chicken chimichanga. We both cleared our plates. Loss of a star for store bought chips, slight lack of atmosphere and for giving me a cocktail bottle of club soda without a heads up. read more

I am writing this review to say "LOOK FOR THE TRAVEL LODGE." We had almost given up when I turned into the Travel Lodge parking lot to check my map & there it was! A hidden gem.

We were in the area for Thanksgiving and needed a good meal on Black Friday. We did not have to go far to find this yummy food. As you can see by my pictures, we were given lots of food. The chips were fresh and crisp. I think we had the cheese dip on everything. The grilled chicken was cooked perfect and no fat. My husband had a dish with beef and green peppets, onions and cheese and he rolled it up in soft shells. Our service was great and everyone was friendly. They do have big TV'S to watch football. So if you are passing by Forsyth, stop here and fill up on some great food. read more

My wide and I ordered 2 (cooked medium) ribeye steaks and shrimp; hers was good, on my plate came 2 very thin, well done slices of what they call a ribeye. Told the server (awesome lady) when back to chef and came back to me with the message "that's ribeye". See the pictures for yourself! 2 starts for server! read more

I came to Georgia for a week vacation with my family. We wanted to eat Mexican food. The Mexican Restaurant that was next to our hotel was closed. So, we went to one that was 5 minutes away. We thought it wouldn't be the best but boy were we wrong. Our Venezuelan server and her service was the best I've experienced. My family and I ordered 2 Chicken Quesadillas, Carne Asada Tacos and Chicken Fajitas. The food was delicious! We got a box of food to-go and it was perfectly packaged. They were so good. I was shocked! 100% recommend! Deseo, que tu experiencia es maravilloso como nosotros! read more

As always the food was FANTASTIC!!' The staff is always friendly and goes over and beyond to make sure you have a great meal!!!!

Restaurant was a bit hard to find. Food was good. Service was good. BUT they charge a service charge . 3.75%. I hate that. I always tip well and don't like that the restaurant gets to decide. read more

I had the enchiladas and they were some of the best I've ever had anywhere. I had 2 chicken and 2 cheese enchiladas and if I wasn't full I would have ordered another meal. Food portion were plentiful and I had more than enough to eat. My server could have been more attentive but he was polite and personable when he was bringing something to the table or checking on me. I would recommend this place. There were plenty of other people there so apparently the locals like this place too read more

Was pretty decent for where it is. Handled a large group well. The hot salsa and green salsa was really good. Unsweetened tea was really good. read more

My family and I were traveling through Forsythe tonight looking for a sit-down restaurant to eat in since the usual place we eat at was closed. We're glad we chose El Tejado! Really loved the complimentary salsa and the margarita I ordered was good. Food came out in short fashion and everything tasted great. The restaurant is beautiful and kept very clean. Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite and service. read more

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had. I found a hair in my quesadilla and when I politely asked to either get another or my money back they blamed it on the short staff then tried to compare my hair to the one on my plate. read more
