    Side rice

    Fast service, great food. Solid chips and their salsa has amazing flavor. I like the variety of tacos, and they're affordable too. Not an overpriced menu here! Your drink actually might cost more... friendly people, and I enjoy the colors in the restaurant. Bar is centralized.

    Lots of Jarritos!

    This place wasn't bad. It's your typical "authentic" Mexican joint. The salsa was pretty good, the freshly prepared guacamole was good but the portion was a little disappointing. I had the Tacos Al pastor, or was decent. The service was good, the waitress was efficient friendly and kept our drinks filled. The ambience was ok wasn't awesome but I don't expect much when it comes to ambiance unless I'm eating at a super expensive restaurant. It was clean, that's all that matters. If I remember correctly they had a health score or 90, which, while not awful isn't great.

    Hands down the best Mexican food and drinks around! We haven't tried anything we didn't like but some of our absolute favorites are the Barria tacos, quesadillas, and nachos, chorizo tacos, and the shrimp ceviche. The pineapple jalapeño margarita is my favorite drink- It's light and refreshing! The service is also great! Staff is always attentive!

    Original Paloma (10/10) and a sweet tea

    Loved this spot! Found it on Google and decided to try it out. It was quiet and slow at 1:30pm on a Friday afternoon. We sat ourselves and a waitress immediately came up to take our drink order. We got a Paloma and a sweet tea. The cup was so cute we wanted to take it home! The service was 10/10. Our waitress was so kind, quick on her feet, and helped us properly pronounce a few items. The food was delicious. We got 4 carne tacos, a quesabirria taco, and churros. The quesabirria was the star of the show with the churros quickly following. Everything was hot, full of flavor, and quickly served! Highly recommend this spot.

    First off let me say eating inside the restaurant is a different review BUT a delivery is an OMG awful the food was cold plain and blah nothing like you get in the restaurant. It doesn't come with salsa or chips. I called thinking they forgot and they said "it doesn't come with with take away" (and rude to boot) now that's fine BUT NO SALSA!!!!! Come on guy you need the salsa, it isn't Mexican food without it. Below is what we ordered we both ordered burritos so I only took a pic of one (it looked exactly the same). The other was 2 yes 2 orders of churros. So to I have to say a thank you to Taco Bell for having put extra sauce in my last order. Do better guys

    This little "hole in the wall" authentic Mexican restaurant is amazing! We frequent downtown and would have never known about this place unless a friend told us about it. The service was amazing and the owner was fantastic! We will definitely be coming back! The food was amazing! The place was packed and our server, Lexi (one of 2 servers), was absolutely amazing. If you want somewhere to relax and get a little tipsy, the bartender will hook you up!

    The interior ambience is fantastic.

    I was in Macon and trying to think of a good, tasty lunch and a colleague suggested La Bella Morelia. I am glad he did. It's so good to have proper Mexican food. The tacos are just the sort you'd get from a taco truck: the standard come with onions, cilantro, and lime--and they're incredibly tasty. You can get nearly every option, and I went with a carnitas taco, a chorizo taco, and an al pastor pork taco. The carnitas were *perfect," as was the chorizo and al pastor pork. At two dollars a taco, you can't beat it. You can also get actual Mexican drinks (I went with a Mexican Coke). La Bella Morelia is everything you'd want in tacos, tortas, etc.

    Food was good, service was slow to start. We were there at lunch and took awhile for our server to acknowledge us and even bring drinks.

    The food was good. I was a bit worried because I did not find any recent reviews and when I visited…read morethe restaurant it was an evening and was slow but I gave it a try. The service was quick. I placed a carry out order and received my order within 10 to 15 minutes. The entrée that I ordered is available for lunch and dinner but based upon the menu if you want to order it for dinner, there is a two dollar up charge.. Well when I ordered it, it was a six dollar up charge. Be aware of price differences and ask to confirm the price of otdered items.

    While this place needs updating really bad, the service and food quality are bigger issues. Ordered…read moreenchiladas and have to say that I have done a better job making this dish at home with cheap ground beef, tortillas, and some Old El Paso seasoning in a packet. It was bland, tasteless, no spices and not sure if they forgot or are trying to save money but there was not one shred of cheese on the whole dish. I would have been much better off going to Taco Bell. Even the rice was not cooked right, it was crunchy. The wife said the margarita was watered down kool-aid. The service was also well below par. Server never came back to check until we were done with the meal and were no where to be found during it. I asked for an ice tea and never got it. My water glass was empty half way through the meal never to be refilled. When we were done I asked for the check and it never came. We sat for 10 minutes then finally just got up and went to the window to pay where we waited another 10 minutes before someone came and took my money. This was early Saturday afternoon so it's not like they were swamped. In terms of the inside, the whole place needs a full gutted rehab. Looks maybe late 80's? It had an overall dusty vibe to it, not filthy dirty but not clean either, very dusty and dingy. The booths were old and worn, lots of wear. The bar was not being used with large boxes for storage in plain view. The ceiling tiles were filthy and grimy and need at least replacement. So much potential at this location but they need to just tear the whole thing out and start completely over. Change the overall traffic flow to support the local walk in customer who wants a to go order. Spend some money on a qualified chef to revamp the menu and hire some competent wait staff. Of course, they'll never do any of this so I won't be returning anytime soon, if ever.

    This is a great lave to hang out here in Macon. Very eclectic environment makes it interesting…read moreatmosphere to gather with friends. They have shows here. Beer, spirits and cocktails.... Food is Nextdoor at Ingleside pizza. Parking nearby.....they have indoor and god the outdoor seating they have heaters running in the cool weather. It love to come back and hang out in the warm weather.oh we saw this place on Ride with Norman Redus. Love that show.

    Let me start by saying this place is truly beautiful. As soon as you walk down the stairs it feels…read morelike you've been transported to a secret place. LOVE THAT. This was my first time here and we went for the Tequila & Tacos event. The entire space is massive. I didn't realize that outside wasn't the only space, there's a "hidden room" behind a bookshelf as well as an indoor bar / seating area and another outside seating area. I really enjoyed the environment with the live music & food trucks giving a variety of options to choose from. We ordered the tequila tasting & also the margarita tower. 10/10 for both of those. The bartender we spoke to was very helpful in explaining the drink deals and helping us choose what to get. Our drinks were made quickly and we found a nice seat by the stage to listen to the music. The band was great, really enjoyed them. We also decided to try out 3 of the food options. We ordered chips, salsa & queso from the stand by the bar. When the woman packed the sauces into the bag the tops weren't secure and the queso spilled to the bottom of the bag. I asked my fiancé to go back up and ask for it to be replaced but when he did the woman wasn't up there. So we made the best of that & just ripped the bag open & ate them how they were. Next, we ordered a chicken quesadilla from a tent on the side and asada tacos from a different truck. The tacos took about 10 minutes while the quesadilla took about 45, honestly maybe longer. The tacos were alright, nothing spectacular but they weren't nasty. For the size of the meat they could've used more cilantro and onions on top. But taste I'd give a 6/10. We noticed a line of people waiting for food forming at the quesadilla tent and since we still hadn't received ours I asked my fiance to go ask about it. About 10minutes late ours came out. I can't give a rating on food because we left shortly after that & just took the quesadilla home. Overall we had a great experience here with the drinks & music. And will definitely be returning for date night.
