    California burrito
    Chris D.

    I can not rave enough about the atmosphere and employees you have working at this location. Is it telling that every time we go to eat they all know us and welcome us like family. The food while good could be better. We keep going back because of the employees. They truly treat us like we are part of their family and we so enjoy it.

    Rice and beans
    Nyla S.

    I sat at the bar and Ivan was good. Their salsa is still waaaay too spicy for normal people, my friend was choking the whole time. Once I added salt it was good to me though because I'm a spice type of person. We ordered wings (1/2 lemon pepper 1/2 Buffalo) and they were probably the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant. I also got three tacos (asada, chicken and carnitas) they were all flavorful and completely different from my first visit here. The rice and beans (my faves) were even better this time. I drank 2 1/2 frozen margaritas and was beyond drunk, they were so strong and I didn't pace myself enough. Overall, it really matters whose in the kitchen. Sn: the bar is super uncomfortable. It's the new chairs and nowhere to place my feet for me. So jalapeños wins in that category.

    Everybody has their "home" Mexican restaurant that they frequent - this is my new spot. A fantastic yet unscripted happy hour that never seems to end? 2.99 Dos Equis Pints have been drank & cheese dip has been consumed plentifully. This place is always packed and it reminds me of my hometown spot. The decor must've been picked from the same supplier... the nostalgia

    Taco Salad

    This is my second time coming here and both times it's been a great experience! Really fast service and really good food! I got a beer and taco salad which was 5/5!

    So I'm so glad my husband surprised me for my birthday and took me with out me having a chance to read the reviews. I wouldn't have gone based on some of the reviews. The food was good, we each had $10 combos they includes 3 items. That's a good deal. The margaritas were good but small. For the price everything was worth it. I will go back again.

    two plates of food on a table

    We came here after a fun day at the beach, and were super hungry - La Nopalera ended up being a great choice! The service was attentive and fast and our server kindly accommodated our requests for modifications. The house salsa was tangy and delicious. We ordered the vegetable fajitas, veggie chimichanga, and veggie burrito to share - all three dishes were pretty good, especially the chimichanga (ranchero sauce was super flavorful) and the veggie burrito (the cheese sauce it was smothered in was warm and creamy with a kick). We enjoyed our time here!

    Human fingernail in the food.
    Sarah B.

    This restaurant is FOUL. DO NOT EAT HERE. I ordered delivery and after taking a bite a shrimp fajita and was confused to feel what I thought was a bone in my mouth. When I spat it out it was a human fingernail. There was a hard yellowed human fingernail clipping in my food. Mind you- even if there wasn't a FINGER NAIL in my food, it would have still been gross. It was also insanely over salted and all the guacamole was brown.

    Combo #9: two tacos, rice, and beans

    I was very disappointed with the food here. I ordered a combo which consisted of two tacos, rice, and beans. When the server brought the food, she was wearing a mitten to hold the plate. One look and I could tell the plate had been sitting for a while. I tried a bite of everything and then pushed the plate aside. The top layer of rice was crunchy, and the bottom of the tacos fell apart when I picked them up. I will not be coming back here.

    Bubba Garcia is a Mexican place located off of busy Bay Street in downtown Savannah. Street parking…read moreis available if you can find any or there is side streets parking. The menu is a mix of individual street tacos and basic mex dishes. It's not your typical Mexican restaurant with fresh chips, and table-side guacamole. But Mexican inspired with a southern twist added to it. The seating can be cramped since the tables are close together. They have a full bar and live music on the weekend. The menu has a mix of everything with some healthy paleo options along with a few traditional dishes. They were knowledgeable of allergies and happy to talk to the kitchen to check ingredients for me. The pulled pork, shrimp and beef taco meat was seasoned so well. Juicy with perfect flavoring. Whomever they have in the kitchen knows what they are doing.

The complimentary chips were crisp, the beer was cold, and I could have eaten their salsa like soup with a spoon- yummy! Their guacamole was delicious, too. For my three burrito meal, I chose one pork, chicken and ground beef. The chicken and ground beef were very tasty, but I found the pork filling to be dry and actually some bites were crispy. Not a reorder on my next visit. We will return!

    My Cozy Go-To for Date Night Vibes…read more I love this place so much, it has officially earned a permanent spot on our date night rotation. Órale Tacos + Tequila has everything I want in a restaurant: comfort, good food, and people who make you feel like you're right at home. My husband and I are hooked on their American-style quesadillas--mine with shrimp, his with chicken--and let me just say, the portions are generous and they somehow taste even better the next day! Moffie (I hope I'm spelling her name right) is usually our server and she is just the sweetest soul. Always smiling, always kind, and just a pleasure to see. But then... there's JAZMINE. I don't know where she learned how to make an Old Fashioned, but I never want it made by anyone else again. Her hands are blessed. Seriously, I get happy when I walk in and see her behind the bar. The very first time we came, she was experimenting with a jalapeño drink and asked if I wanted to try it--it was FABULOUS. Since then, she's just had that "it" factor. Warm, creative, and magnetic. One time we came in and she wasn't working, and I genuinely felt a little sad! But the time before that, we hugged as soon as we saw each other. That says everything. This place has heart. From the food to the cocktails to the people who make the experience so special, Órale is more than just a restaurant--it's a vibe. A cozy, joyful, delicious vibe. Can't wait for our next visit!

    Good food, good service, sweet atmosphere & a handy location. Best margaritas around, according to…read morethose in the group who had plenty to compare against!
