If you're ever in the Blue Ridge, GA area and want great Latin food (Venezuelan, Colombian, or…read moreMexican) do yourself a favor and head to Guagio Latin Flavors. Kathy and I tried it tonight based on a 5 Star Yelp review and it was fantastic. We started with chips, salsa, and queso. Kathy had the loaded Asada loaded nachos. I had the the Colombian bowl, which had fried pork belly, chorizo, beef, rice and beans. Everything was nicely presented and absolutely delicious.

It was lunch and no special was on the menu. Don't act like you tried to remedy this when there's no way you did what you said. The issue was brought up when the check was brought to the table and not after payment. Don't say things that are not true.

Quite a stylish Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of the bustling Cumming City Center. 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!

I had the shrimp taco and the fried fish taco with jalapeño mayo, both $7 each. They were very…read moregood, although the jalapeño mayo was a little spicy for my taste. 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.

The cabbage and red salsa add a ton of flavor to the pupusas.

Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a plus, and the staff were warm and helpful in walking through the menu. It is the kind of environment where you can relax, settle in, and let the food be the star. And the food really does shine. The meat platter was loaded with juicy, well-seasoned cuts that made it a challenge to finish in one sitting, though I happily tried. Empanadas were crisp and flavorful, and the sides tied everything together nicely. Portions are generous across the board, so you definitely leave feeling satisfied. This is a place to come hungry and curious, because every dish feels like a little celebration of Colombian flavors.

First of all, forget the beautiful picture of colorful buildings on the web site, this place looks…read morederelict from the outside. Half of the building has black plastic bags covering the windows, and the other half doesn't look much better. Before we saw the "Open" lighted sign, we were about to drive away thinking that it had closed down or moved elsewhere. Anyway, once inside, it's a small, brightly painted place, with 4 or 5 tables, a counter and a small Colombian souvenir (hats, flags, etc.) section. More like a cafe than a restaurant. Once seated, my wife had a diet coke and I had a dark Colombian beer ($6.75 for a small can); ' it was nothing special. When I asked for a glass for my beer, I was given a large plastic soda tumbler !? ' Wife had the Red Snapper entree ($30), which came with rice, beans, one tostone, a little salad and couple of slices of avocado. The fish was a good size, and although it looked like a red snapper, we both agreed that it had a very fishy taste, which red snapper definitely shouldn't. I suggested she send it back, however, not wanting to make a fuss, she instead, dipped bites of fish into the bean sauce to cover the fishy taste. Fortunately, she didn't get sick... I had the 'Bandeja Paisa Montañera' ($24) which is basically, a mixed grill that was comprised of a Colombian sausage, a "morcilla" (blood sausage), "grilled steak", and fried fatty pork belly with a fried egg, white rice, a little fried plantain, half a small avocado, and a small plain arepa (corn cake). It was largely as expected except that the "grilled steak" was thin and tough, and having tasted the questionable fish beforehand, I didn't enjoy any of it. Service? Well, he brought the food, but I had to go to the counter to look for him to order a second Colombian beer (different type this time, but similarly undistinguished). Later, he shouted across the restaurant from behind the counter to ask if we wanted anything else; even though the place was empty. ' Won't be back...

The service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Gives you a family owned feeling. We started with the Papusa's. So fresh and tasty. The masa was delicious and they were very cheesy. I could've ate this for the entire meal. I had the fried chicken on top of plantains covered in cabbage and tomatoes with salsa and drenched in a fantastic tangy crema. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Jacob had the same as I, but with beef. The ground beef was so tasty. I could eat here every week. I have never had Honduran food before, so I don't know if I can say the following statement. But, I felt like grandma was in the back making a real authentic family meal.

I picked up a burritas hondureñas, which was like a corn tortillas sandwich filled with meat, eggs, beans, cheese, and avocado. It was good but the hot sauce on the table kicked it up a notch. The papusas were everything one could want and more. Cheesy, thick, and topped with a tangy curtido. I left feeling pleasantly plump and happy to see a place like this on my quick trip through Knoxville.

The outdoor seating was really nice on a comfortable summer day. In terms of the food, I was thrilled to find that they had a vegetarian platter that I could order off the brunch menu, so I went with it. It was reasonably good, but not exceptional. It was made up of a number of component parts that didn't always fit together. The cheese arepa was great. The fried egg was as expected. The mixed veggies underneath had the wrong tone for the dish. The shiitake mushrooms did add umami, but that was the wrong flavor profile. Not bad. They just didn't fit the rest of the dish. The fruit also seemed out of place. The house made chorizo was clearly a seitan product, and it was good. It was just a lot of seitan, and that's a product I try to avoid. In terms of the service, everything was exceptional. Our server was very nice and demonstrated exceptional situational awareness. She was present as much as needed, but no more. She was also fast, despite waiting on half the restaurant. I was able to get in and out quickly to get back to my day. All told, a completely reasonable destination. I suspect their meat based dishes might fit together a little better, but the vegetarian options could be improved.

It's counter service--you order at the register, find a seat (there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating), and they'll bring your food out. I ordered the fish taco combo, which came with two fish tacos, yuca fries, and a canned drink. The tacos were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the menu changes. Everything is a combo now, and I was told I couldn't order the tacos by themselves. I wish they'd bring back the à la carte option because I'd rather try a few different things than be locked into one meal. The yuca fry portion was also smaller than I expected--I only got about five fries. Overall, it's still a spot I'd recommend if you're visiting Athens since it's been a local favorite for so long. I just left a little less impressed than I remember being the last time I was here.
