    The pot stickers were baked and mustard on the crusted salmon. Server was polite and professional. But food was horrible. Place was big empty and cold.

    If I could give half stars, Fresco's would land closer to 4. However, I agree with some of the other reviews implying this place is in dire need of a face lift. This is a great space and ownership could do A LOT to make simple improvements in the overall vibe/atmosphere. Our server was very nice and attentive enough. We were in and out on Friday night for dinner within 35 mins. Our food came out so fast (which I'm not complaining about) that I cannot imagine it was that fresh. We had an appetizer (buffalo chicken eggrolls) that were tasty. I asked the waitress for help choosing my pasta entree and went with the Cajun Alfredo. It was a simple as penne, a jar of sauce and what I was told was andouille sausage but appeared to be a thinly sliced regular hot dog. It was a large portion and worth the price but I do wish there was more flavor and effort put into it. My fiancé had the Pork Chop dinner which was also a hearty portion and he said was "pretty good".

    I had high hopes for this restaurant. We were quickly greeted and seated by very friendly hostess. Almost immediately we were served fried noodles with cheese sauce as a complimentary appetizer. They look a little like styrofoam and have the crunch and texture of a pork rind. They are unique and with the cheese sauce not too bad. Ordered Fresco Chicken and the Chef's Steak. The chicken was lightly fried and well cooked. It was served with lemon sauce that was almost undetectable and asparagus that was refrigerator cold. The Chef's Steak was not at all tender and tasted like it had been pre-cooked and reheated in the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Mashed potatoes were the best part of the dish. I wish I could think we just picked the wrong dish but we overheard others making similar remarks with completely different dishes. Not sure I would recommend this for a second chance.

    Came on a Sunday for lunch and it was fairly busy. They gave us some complimentary baskets of chips and cheese dip as soon as we were seated, and are waitress was quick to serve us. I got the orange chicken and it was really good. On other visits I have tried many other menu items that have not disappointed me. Overall a good restaurant with fair prices.

    Discount for hair in food, finally agreed to just half off. We wouldn't have pushed it more until he said it "was not their hair"

    Horrible food and even worse service. This place is old and dirty. I would not recommend to anyone.

    The sandwich was supposed to be crispy chicken, but was soggy with no crunch. Fries were barely warm. Restaurant wasn't that busy.

    Generic is the word. Not too bad not exciting. Perfect for picky eaters. The staff is so nice and that's what gave them 4 stars.

    We had an exceptional lunch at The Hush Cuban kitchen & bar today, and honestly, it was some of the…read morebest Cuban food we've ever had. We started with the beef empanadas, which were traditional, flavorful, and perfectly done. Then came the Cubano, and wow, absolutely outstanding. The pork was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender with just the right amount of crispy pieces that gave it incredible texture and flavor. We also ordered the Cajun Arroz con Pollo, and it completely blew us away. It was packed with flavor, the crispy chicken was truly perfect, and the Cajun seasoning was spot on, bold and delicious without being spicy. From start to finish, every bite was memorable. Add in the cool downtown Clayton vibe, and this place is a must visit. We'll absolutely be back.

The salad came with a whole avocado over fresh salad greens, tomatoes, pork and black beans. My only complaint I got full too fast. The ropa vieja was packed with flavor too. We had a shot of Uncle Nearest that was a generous pour. We will definitely return and encourage any visitors to make this a must try! Update! I wrote this review before we got our bill. The Uncle Nearest Whiskey shot was priced at $6. We were charged $10 and stated we had Jack Daniel's whiskey! When we pointed this out to our server, she said, "oh no, we have new menu prices, ok?" No, this is not okay. We should have been told this when ordering. Unbelievable the way she dismissed us.

LOL Mambo's Cafe is located in Buford, Ga which is Northeast of Atlanta. When we entered the restaurant after our 5k, we were seated immediately and I will say Im glad we showed up when we did, because when we left people were everywhere waiting to be seated. So, Our waitress was amazing, she didnt miss a beat all the questions we had, she answered! We started off a complementary garlic bread with a Verde sauce. It was green with a pinch of spicy, but it was very good. Next, we ordered the beef empanadas and they cut them up for us so that everybody could sample them. They were so good. I had to get an order to go to take them home to my husband. For my drink, I ordered a pink lemonade. It was almost like I needed some sugar and I knew that would hit the eight spot even though it was carbonated it still was good. For the main train I went with ANGUS CHURRASCO STEAK!! Medium well of course! Wowwwwww!! This steak was top-tier. I enjoyed every bit of it, and what I could eat. Of course, I had to take the rest of them. It came with an option of beans I went with black beans plantains in a Spanish rice, which was amazing. The chimichurri sauce that came on the steak was was flavorful yeah, I even asked for some to take home and verde sauce as well. Lol The steak was tender outside skirt steak grilled and topped with our famous chimichurri sauce (garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil). $28 My entire bill with $58 including the takeout empanadas I will most definitely be going back. I enjoyed every minute of this restaurant.

I was in…read moretown on a quick work trip and found myself right around the corner from here when hunger struck around lunch time. I took to Yelp and found Santa Maria right down the block. The location, awesome reviews, and photos made it a no-brainer. My lunch companion and I decided to share the queso fundito and shrimp empanadas and both were great. The queso fundito came with roasted corn and a garlic toast while the shrimp empanadas were plated on top of a bed of salad. The empanadas were a nice size and I would totally order these just for myself for lunch. I added a shrimp tempura taco to round out my meal. It was juicy, a bit spicy because of the jalapeno mayo, and overall a nice way to end my meal. I'll wrap this up by congratulating them on landing a spot on Yelp's Best New Restaurants list for 2025. Only 100 businesses in the ENTIRE country get on the list - so this is huge. Based on my experience, well deserved. Definitely give them a visit soon!

The cauliflower appetizer was a hit with everyone and the portion was huge. I personally would have preferred it to be cooked a little less, as it was quite soft. The patatas bravas were decent. The tres leches cake was excellent and came as a generous slice. The milk was served on the side, which we poured over the cake. We shared it among six people, and it was just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. Our server was very friendly, and the restaurant itself is really cute. Around 7pm on Saturday evening, just as we were leaving, a man and woman started performing live music with vocals and guitar. We were on our way to the Lou Sobh Amphitheater (just a quick walk over) to see a cover band, which made for a fun night out. This whole area in Cumming is a great place to hang out.
