    Inside ordering counter
    Chris Y.

    One of our favorite downtown spots, always great vibes and good music! There was a decent line when we came in for a weekend lunch but didn't take too long to get our food. There is decent seating all throughout with some upstairs as well, but not great if you're in a large group if it's during busy hours (might have to sit separately). I always want to sit in the window like a mannequin but those are usually filled with hungry guests :( The food here is top tier and always great quality leaving you feeling fat and happy, but just enough to give you energy to walk around and see all the things downtown has to offer.

    This place was great!! Service was friendly, we got our food pretty quick and with a smile! A variety of uniquely named dishes that everyone can find something to eat. The restaurant was clean with ample seating. Highly recommend checking them out!

    This was recommended to use at a quilt shop. It sounded amazing. It was okay. The food was good but I am okay if I never have it again. The service was hit or miss. One guy was rude and another lady was so nice. The ambiance was not my jam but I could see where other people would like it. I would not go out of my way to go here but wouldn't be sad if my friends wanted to meet here.

    Cool vibes inside!

    Gonna put my west coast credentials on the suspect list, go out on a limb and say this place puts me in the "I believe" bucket about Mexican food in the south. They compete with places in San Diego - and place well. Good nachos: Check. Fast service: Check. Good prices: Check. Cool interior: Check. Gonna have to say - it's a west coast contender, but in Georgia of all places. Definitely worth it.

    First, be careful not to over order. Nacho Mama's knows how to fill a plate. The Bomb burrito filled my 12 year old grandson. He didn't touch the rice & beans that came with it. My son, a big fellow, barely got halfway through his order "simple nachos". Heck, I couldn't finish my backyard salad. Although the guacamole & chips may have influenced my appetite. Nacho Mama's isn't a full scale Mexican/tex-mex restaurant. No fajitas. No chicken mole dinners, or carnitas or carne asada. But what they do serve, they do very well. Everything is freshly made. A decent selection of beer. And here's a first~a "Mexican" restaurant that serves pasta dishes. Like I said, not your typical Tex-mex restaurant. And that's not such a bad thing. And check out the prices. Nacho Mama's serves up a lot of bang for the buck.

    Food was great, portions were big and filling. The service was very quick and the cashier was super sweet. The building was nice and clean and the lighting was warm which made the atmosphere feel more cozy.

    Atmosphere is a tribute to James Brown. It is an order at the counter, and they will call your name when your food is ready. Down stairs can get noisy, depending on the crowd. Upstairs has a pool table and more seating. Portions are large. We ordered the nachos and a taco salad. Two of us could not finish. I would not recommend this location if you want a quiet date night. It is a good spot if you are going to a show. If you want spicy, talk to the server. The basic salsa is really mild.

    Chicken Quesadillas
    Tina C.

    Great customer service, amazing drinks, and very pleased with the food. Portion sizes were pretty large, came with lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and quac. They used a huge amt of cheese so just be prepared. Clean restaurant

    deluxe shredded beef burrito

    Bland food and pricey for what's mostly a restaurant where you serve yourself. Bought fountain drinks with our meal and still had to ask for cups. I liked the playlist, though.

    The Big Juan
    Jordan N.

    Go big juan or go home! Perfect place to meet with friends, grab a beer & a bite to eat! The service is simple and efficient & the upstairs is the perfect place to hangout and eat! The food fits the environment perfectly!

    I ordered 2 tacos as you can tell on the receipt and I only got one. I will say that they were very quick. I did call in pick up and it was ready within 10 mins. Food was delicious other than missing my taco

    Fun spot to go out with friends. Friendly staff, and good ambiance. They have a pretty large menu, take some time and read through it to find your likes and dislikes. Worth a try if in the area.

    Margarita
    Natasha R.

    Went here for national taco day, and I love this place!!!! They have huge portion sizes for price, and I am especially a fan of their nachos. I always get the Step Daddy nachos, which are made fresh, and the best part by far is the mango habanero salsa. I find that it is the right balance of sweet and salty Zac and definitely filling for price. My boyfriend got the quesadillas and tacos, and he loved them as well! The margarita was reasonably strong, and we had an all around great night. Would definitely come back!

Our server was warm and welcoming, answering our questions and bringing us samples of the pasta soup. Overall, I cannot say enough about Looks Tacos; a truly satisfying dining experience! Apparently, in addition to the location on Washington Road, they have another, larger location on Boyscout road with Draft Beer and a Frozen Margarita Machine... We cannot wait to check it out.

If you like true Mexican food then this is for sure where to go to. Very yummy and the server was very nice as well.

To be expected, I suppose. I was able to be seated quickly (wherever I wanted). Chips and salsa were good. I saw outside they had al pastor, so I decided to order a taco. It was delicious. The fajita quesadilla was pretty good as well. I did not like the beans. I had ordered a margarita, reluctantly because there wasn't a price on the menu. It didn't come right away, so I think my server forgot to put it in. I saw her look and remember and it came with my meal. I could've done without it. Come to find out, it was as much money as my quesadilla ($13!!!) not worth the price. Not sure if they have drink specials certain days. Definitely ask. As I was eating, a gal came in, they set up a speaker and microphone and she started singing songs in Spanish. It was a fun treat, though I only understood some of what she sang. She had a pretty good voice. Definitely wasn't expecting the entertainment, but at least she sounded alright.
