    I'm from Houston and this place makes me feel like I'm back home. Great authentic Mexican food, the margaritas are AMAZING!! The service is ALWAYS on point and swift, the staff is very attentive and friendly. They remember you when you come back. Been going here for 3 years now and never have I been disappointed. 20/10

    It's a seat yourself venue. I highly suggest it if you want an authentic Mexican food experience. The food was so good. I enjoyed it. I ordered take out and enjoyed the music as well as people watching. I would definitely come back again. I saw they had daily specials as well

    LUNCH HOUR!!!! I come here every other weekend with my nephew to enjoy the birria tacos because they only have them on certain days. The drinks are great, the service is excellent, and the food is amazing. Not to mention, the prices are remarkable for this day and age.

    I love the food! Wish I could order it online so I can pick it up on the way from work so I don't have to wait. I've seen pictures of their menu online, they are not clear.

    This review is based off one item. My daughter was shopping at another store next door and stopped in here for some tacos. Some quick food. While she was there she noticed they had Pumpkin Bread. She knows I love anything Pumpkin. The lady working there said they made it fresh that day. She wasn't lying either. The bread was so moist and delicious. Perfect blend of spices and again it was super moist. I wish my daughter had purchased two but now we know where to go. We support East Point local businesses as much as possible and will continue to do so.

    Delicious authentic Mexican food! I was driving down Main Street and had to whip a u-turn when I saw this restaurant. Being from LA, you know how to spot a good Mexican restaurant when you see one! When you walk in you are greeted with music that you can't help but dance to. Once seated, a large basket of chips and house made salsa is placed on your table. So good! I ate so many I was almost too full for the main course. The waitress recommended their burritos and fajitas. I went with their chicken fajitas and it did not disappoint. It came out on a sizzling platter and was seasoned to perfection. I will definitely be back! Did I mention their $3 margarita happy hour!?
