    Chicken enchiladas verdes with rice and beans
    Tracy W.

    Drove by this place and was really enchanted by all the colorful lights outside so thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did. Parking was easy and convenient in the lot right in front. The decor is fresh and charming without being too "busy," the service was great, and the menu was huge. I tried the chicken enchiladas verdes and was quite happy with them. Next time I'll be back to try the "build your own rice bowl."

    I'm going to be generous and go with 2 stars on this rating, but really could've been just one, or none. I'm going to give the team the benefit of the doubt, and assume they were worn out from Cinco de Mayo, the day prior. We were seated very quickly on Taco Tuesday, and also trivia night. There were many tables occupied, but nothing crazy on a Tuesday. It took no time for the chips & salsa to be brought to our table which was very good, but after more than 20 minutes, we still hadn't seen our waiter, and didn't even have water. This location is right behind a McDonald's, and my wife suggested we bail and go there. I actually should've listened to her, but the Yelp reviews averaged 4.6 stars, so it had to be good, right? Wrong. Another 10 minutes went by and our waiter took our order, to include the obligatory cheese dip with jalapeños. That came out in a timely manner, and was good. I ordered a simple A&W root beer, which I was pleasantly surprised they offered. However, what I received was nothing like a root beer of any sorts. It was AWFUL! Another 10-15 minutes more, when the chips & salsa were both gone, and the waiter came back to reconfirm our order. Guess he should've placed it the first time? Several more minutes went by and our food finally appeared. I ordered three tacos, and my wife had a beef chimichanga. She describes hers as an oily, runny, salty, beef mess. My tacos were decent, but also high on the salt content. There was no sense of remorse about the delays on our meals or drinks. When I went to the restroom to clean up after my tacos, the bathroom was in worse shape than most dive gas stations. Sad to say, I'm thinking Yelp reviews did a swing and a miss on this one, and although we live not far away, there are other options where we've enjoyed good Mexican food, and this one will not remain on our list.

    Lovely decor on the inside of this fairly newer Mexican restaurant. There's plenty of parking and very easy to get to. I came during lunch and was greeted and sat quickly. I asked for a sweet tea which never came unfortunately.. by the time my food came out, I just asked for a water as I noticed they were still making the tea and I wish my server would have just let me know instead of me just waiting to have something to drink. The food i had was good and prices were fine. There's no substitutions on lunch items and if you decide to omit anything there's an up charge on it. Even with the small mishap I'd love to come back and try more items they have to offer !

    This is a hidden gem! We had great quality food and service. Everything is fresh from the tortilla shells, to the chips and the salsa. We had chicken and also beef quesadillas. They both came with a giant plate of beans and rice, and pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. We also had the burrito grande steak and it was fresh and topped beautifully. We had the skinny margaritas and it was made with fresh limes and agave!!! Delicious !!! The interior is not only cleaned but so colorful and really nice to sit and see all the art all over the walls! We have found our New Mexican restaurant ! Nice job!!!

    We have been coming down to Atlanta for over ten years since our daughter moved here to Alpharetta so we're very familiar with the locale and have tried many restaurants. This time we were looking for an AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant. Our usual has been El Porton, which has been okay, it's authentic, taco Tuesday was a deal, but we wanted to try something different this time. My daughter recommended Catrina's Mexican Grill by the Macdonald's on McGinnis/Ferry, and it was a hit. We got delicious authentic Mexican food. The chips & salsa were fresh. Our dinners came out hot and very tasty. Portions were not skimpy, the California Burrito was humongous, topped with both red and green chili sauce. Prices were reasonable. Service was fast but it was not busy (Sunday night). However, I did not get a refill on my water. The decor was authentic Mexican-a skeleton, which symbolizes I believe "the day of the dead" in Mexico is on the cover of their menu. In all, a very good authentic Mexican meal! Four stars because I didn't get water refill.

    Shout out to Catrina's Mexican restaurant! Always great service and definitely the place for fresh food. They also help with those with food allergies to make what you can have and like!

    Wow... their customer service is incredible. They took what was a very uncomfortable experience…read moreinto an accommodating situation. We were given an opportunity to give them a second chance. Pending new review. -------- Original review : I hate writing negative reviews, but unfortunately today's experience at Superica left a bad taste in my mouth. For starters, the restaurant wasn't ready to open. The doors didn't open until approximately 10:10 AM, and employees were still actively preparing the restaurant while guests waited. The seating process felt chaotic, and overall the staff appeared disengaged and unenthusiastic. Everyone--from the hosts to the servers to the kitchen staff--seemed to be moving at a pace slower than molasses. It certainly wasn't the energetic brunch atmosphere I remembered. Our server, was particularly disappointing. Despite arriving early, we waited over 30 minutes for our food while multiple tables seated after us (with different servers) were already eating. We repeatedly had to ask for water refills, chip refills, and basic service needs. Whenever we needed him, he seemed to have vanished like the last tortilla chip in the basket. The service issues continued throughout the meal. We requested to-go boxes and were handed a stack of five-plus containers, but no bag. After waiting, I eventually had to track down another server myself to get one. At that point, it felt like I had been promoted from customer to assistant waiter. The most frustrating moment came at the end of the meal. Before we had even requested the check and while I was actively packing leftovers into my to-go containers, Blake seemed overly eager to clear the table. In the process, my to-go containers were knocked to the ground, and my phone ended up falling and cracking. What should have been a routine cleanup turned into an expensive and frustrating ending to an already disappointing experience. To make matters worse, prices have increased significantly. I would not recommend the huevos rancheros. For the current price, receiving what amounted to two small eggs and roughly a quarter of an avocado served over chips felt underwhelming and difficult to justify. The one bright spot remains the pancakes, which continue to be consistently excellent. I've enjoyed Superica in the past, which makes it especially disappointing to see the decline in service, attention to detail, and overall value. Today's experience felt less like hospitality and more like hard labor.

    Having good location and good food is certainly correct. Good or acceptable customer service is…read morecertainly not the case. Creating an artificial line to appear popular is an old trick. This restaurant had over 30 available seats yet the wait was 45 min. I obviously went elsewhere. After walking back about an hour late I saw the same number of customers. So it's all just a game. Wait to get seated to help us look busy. No thanks!!!

It is an open concept eatery with indoor and outdoor eating space. We ordered with the cashier but you can also order online or at the kiosk in store. I ordered 1 chicken tinga street taco and 1 regular chicken street taco. My cousin ordered 3 steak street tacos. We added the sauces of our choice from the sauce bar. The tacos were so flavorful. I preferred the regular chicken taco than the chicken tinga. We went again 2 days later and we ordered the tostada, the gym burrito and a chicken torta. My cousin said the bread was a a little hard for his liking, but the flavor was well. My other cousin really enjoyed the gym burrito and i enjoyed the tostada. The tostada is quite messy so i probably wouldn't get that again. However, this place does not disappoint and was a great find. I would visit it again and again and again.

    Second time to Beto's and it was great again! I had 3 street tacos - Tinga, Camaron (blackened…read moreshrimp), and Pescado (fish). Enjoyed them all especially the Tinga. My husband had the 3 Birria Taco with consommé and they were SO GOOD! We also loved the Tosta-Guac! We like sitting on the patio and enjoying the retro music. This will be our "go to" place for great, tasty, easy meal - and they have beer!

Right when we walked in, the staff complained to us that we hadn't called ahead to have a "smaller, special menu" crafted for a large party. To make matters worse, they loudly announced to the whole table right off rip that they wouldn't split checks separately--only an even split. It felt incredibly rude, lazy, and unwelcoming. The irony is that the large group size wasn't even an issue; we staggered our arrivals and the patio was completely empty. The kicker- my brother in law ended up paying the whole tab at the end anyways! so all of that initial laziness & nastiness for NOTHING! Throughout the night, the service felt incredibly rushed and stressed. While we were still eating our appetizers, the busser was aggressively trying to clear our plates because the mains were coming. Our server was very short with us the entire time, which was confusing because the restaurant didn't even have a stressful vibe. She recommended a main dish to me that I really didn't care for, though I will say the salsa was unique and probably the best part of the meal. Shoutout to the one staff member who was actually friendly, but overall, this is not the kind of place where you leave feeling like you had a nice restaurant experience- at least I personally didn't.. Too bad we didn't just go to C&S next door which we always love. Regardless tho, my sister had a blast, but that's entirely because she has a wonderful crew of great friends, not because of Casi Cielo.
