    Chicken fajitas
    Kaila T.

    While visiting the area, I decided to give this place a try. Me and my bf came during around 7:30 which the restaurant had a surge of crowds inside. We were greeted by the hostess & was immediately given a seat. Prior to being seated, someone in the back wiped down the table. Once seated, our server greeted us I don't remember her name but she was very nice and attentive. She informed us it was her first few days back from taking a break from serving. She brought us the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa could have been more dense and chunkier. As an appetizer we got the queso with carne (which is ground beef and melted cheese) & it was amazing. For the drinks we chose to get the margarita which at first was very syrupy & tasted like plain juice. We informed our server who put additional tequila in the drinks which helped tremendously. My entree was the chicken fajita and it did not disappoint plus I had enough for seconds. The entree was the highlight of my dinner and our server was so kind and very helpful. I will most certainly be back!

    This place deserves more than 3 stars. I love it. My favorite Mexican joint when I am in the Milledgeville area. Service is great. Food is bomb every time. Hell the water with lemon is better than most. Haha. Two of my favorites are the lunch fajitas, which is a huge portion and the lunch chicken chilaquillas. That is what is pictured in my photo. Photo does not do any justice by the way. The restaurant is huge with more than enough seating. Keep up the good work guys!!!

    Stopped for some Mexican and wish I had not. Just off the main road it is not hard to get to. Looks like an old steak or bbq place converted to Mexican food. I love Mexican food but there wasn't much to love here. The chips are the thick kind, which I prefer thin, but they were decent. The jalapeño queso was ok but then the main entrees arrived. Food had no taste, none! I ordered the Burrito Tampiquenos with steak. I asked the waitress what's special about their "special sauce" and she said nothing...it's just enchilada sauce. I received two foil wrapped burritos. Opening them up it was steak drenched in the sauce. On the side was a bowl of lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guacamole. I added everything to it and even some of the chip salsa to get flavor but still nothing. My wife had the Quesa Fajita and she said it was ok. Very disappointed and will not be back

    It IS habit forming.

    In a town where Mexican restaurants pop up as frequently as tramp stamps on sorority girls, your next serving of chips and queso is never far away. After living in Milledgeville for seven years, I've been there, done that, got the...heartburn...to prove it and El Tequila remains one of my all time favorites. Mexican restaurants are great for children and this one is no exception. The service is fast, there's music playing to drown out any wailing and I can convince even my occassionally picky eaters to try new fare with comments like "Hey guys...quesadillas are just Mexican grilled cheese sandwiches!" The decor is typical mexi-cafe fiesta, with brightly-colored sarapes, ceramic suns and sombreros on the walls. It is very clean and the staff are friendly and eager. Some Friday evenings they have a mariachi band that performs table to table. They are adorable and it entertains the heck out of the kiddos too. I love El Tequila's chips and salsa. Warm chips are served with two types of salsa, one traditional and one with an amazing smoky flavor I've never found anywhere else. I've moved, and I can't visit all the time now so I'll buy large to-go cups of the salsa to freeze and savor it from home. Of course they also have the amazing white cheese dip that compliments everything from taco salad to Lean Cuisines :) They have all your usual mexican fare and handle the standards admirably; burritos, enchiladas, chile rellenos etc. My favorite, and more unique, offerings are their Mexican Chicken soup with rice and avacado and the juicy carnitas - stewed pork served with hot tortillas and avacado salad. Chimichangas are pretty common, but the ones here are fried perfectly, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just delicious. So, grab your kids - and some napkins, because it's about impossible to get that cheese dip off their faces! - and head to El Tequila.

    Good food. Large cheese dip is a big. Very good margaritas. I'd go back for the margaritas alone but for the food too.

    Yesterday afternoon, and Uuing KNG Delivery, I had them pickup, and deliver, a 12" Cheese Quesada…read moreand a Steak Burrito, with rice, beans and corn. Along with Chips and Salsa. The chips are some of the thinnest chips that I've ever seen served in any restaurant. They were nice and crisp. However, last night, they were a bit tough. But tonight, they were fine (never had this happen before). I'm thankful that I had some Salsa on hand, as the salsa they included, was the weakest salsa I have ever had. So, between my salsa, the chips and Quesada, made a pretty good dinner. And, they are pretty generous with the cheese. Now, last night, when I opened up everything, I had expected the rice, beans and corn, to be sides. And, when I didn't see them, I called KNG to inform them. But, after cutting into the burrito, it turns that instead of on the side, the restaurant incorporates the selected items into the burrito. Now, I took a bite of the plain burrito, and it tasted pretty good. But, since I'm not a fan of a dry burrito, and, I didn't have any enchilada sauce, I heated up some Manwich sauce. And, along with my guacamole and sour cream, it made for a pretty darn good dinner. Now, compared to the other Mexican restaurants that I have been to in the area, Barbarito's is better than some. And, more traditional than others. I'll give them another try some time.
