This place is really good. The only downside is having to eat outside or get it to go, but that was expected from the other pictures. Very nice authentic Mexican food. Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

This is a perfect place for a quick stop off the US-441. The restaurant is under the roof and partially air open and actually you order from the window and the food will be served. This setup is perfect for covid-19 times. The food is...Read More

Don’t know what happened. Had a good review before from me. Lately the burritos were very salty, so we spaced our visits and tried again recently. Burritos were salty again, but this time the steak meat was almost uneatable with gristle pieces one could choke...Read More

Excellent Asada (steak) Burritos!! Best I’ve ever had! Fresh ingredients and served hot. True authentic Mexican cuisine! A little hidden gem of a restaurant in Cornelia Georgia. The owner is very kind and accommodating. Clean facility. Prices are a little high but was worth it.
