    Salty refried beans

    Since moving from LA I've been trying to find good Mexican food. Seems like I still can't. I DoorDash chicken taquitos. Food quality was horrible. I called them & asked if small guac & sour cream came with it & she told me no. Only guac option for me to order was the $10 with chips. I get the food & what do u know. It came with chips, salsa, guac, sour cream. So I wasted $10 for nothing. Both guacamole's were brown & needed a little salt. Refried beans were salty, the taquitos were to big like a burrito. I didn't like the taste. Won't be going back

    Bit in to my chimichanga Found a FINGERNAIL in my food. Instead of taking ownership and fixing the issue the manager was extremely rude and nonchalant. It sad because this was one of my favorite spots. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!

    Excellent service, and affordable prices. Plus free parking which isn't abundant in downtown Decatur. I had the chicken chimichanga and a frozen margarita and sat outside on an unseasonably warm Dec afternoon. The ambiance is understated and comfortable.

    Tacos de birria
    Zee S.

    I ordered on DoorDash so I don't have a review as far as the service... It was my first time trying the tacos de birria.. They were really good and seasoned well!! They also came with chips and salsa.. I'd give the food 8/10

    Guacamole Tesano
    Kyja W.

    Simple goodness! I used to come here every now and then when I lived in Decatur. It has been a few years, so when I saw the name pop up on UberEats as I was looking for some Mexican food, I decided to check out the options. Back when I used to come here, the ambiance was super casual with hole in the wall feels, and the service was good albeit a bit challenging due to a slight language barrier. I can't speak on how it is today, but I'm sure it's still good! Everything was packed up cleanly, the portions are nice, prices are decent, and everything tasted great. For my appetizer, I got an order of guacamole tesano, which is chopped avocado with pico de gallo. It tasted fresh and I loved the chunky texture on top of the crunchy tortilla chips. For my entree, I chose the burrito de frijoles (refried beans and queso dip inside). It came with sour cream, lettuce, and tomato on the side. I was surprised to see salsa on top of the burrito. Normally, I'd love this but I was slightly disappointed at first because I had it in my mind that I was expecting a dry burrito I could hold in my hands that was filled with creamy queso dip and warm beans. Regardless, it was flavorful and delicious and after taking a bite I wasn't disappointed anymore but very pleased. My meal also came with chips and salsa! The salsa had a really nice kick of spice to it. I'll definitely be ordering more from here in the future.

    Grouper enchiladas, beans, rice
    Kelly M.

    Low key spot in Decatur with great chips and salsa. In general, I think their food and drinks are just ok. I've had much better margaritas. The house seemed watered down. I did really enjoy the grouper enchiladas. They were delicious!!

Small enough that if two people exhale at the same time, someone has to step outside. And yet -- the tacos are outrageously good. The shrimp tacos arrive like they have something to prove. The shrimp are perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed into warm tortillas with the confidence of a restaurant charging triple the price in Midtown. Then come the fish tacos: crispy, flaky, absurdly satisfying little miracles that make you temporarily forget every bad seafood taco you've suffered through in your life. There's barely any seating inside, but there are a couple of benches out back in the open air where you can sit, contemplate your life choices, and wonder why you've spent money at chain restaurants when this place exists. Now we must discuss the horchata situation. I am convinced horchata at Los Niños is either a legend, a social experiment, or a spiritual concept. They *never* have it. Ever. At this point, I assume someone walks in every morning asking for horchata and the staff simply whispers, "Not since the incident..." Still, none of it matters because the tacos are phenomenal. You leave slightly cramped, mildly confused about the beverage program, but deeply happy.

    Can you say hell to the yeah yeah yeah on Yelp? If not forgive me…read more I visit the Dekalb Farmers Market and have seen this location several times as I've driven past the location. I've told myself a couple of times to stop by and finally had an opportunity yesterday. When I'm stressed I seek out two things. Tacos and boiled peanuts. I came onto Yelp and looked for Mexican restaurants near the farmers market and this one was at the top of the list. I was also having a mini reunion with a friend that I haven't seen in over 17 years. There is limited seating and most of the tables will comfortably fit two people. I had to keep my purse in my lap, because I was uncomfortable leaving it hanging on the chair since our table was snug against a wall and there was no where to actually leave it so it would be out the way. The red salsa that comes with the chips is extremely spicy in my opinion. I had to drown mines in the green salsa just to be able to eat it. I went with the pork, chicken and one shrimp taco. Upon return, I could simply get the pork and chicken ones and be happy. I bought a total of six and ended up taking two to-go. These are real street tacos with corn tortillas, plenty of filling and just a simple delight. My margarita was strong enough for a Sunday afternoon of smiles, and long conversations. I think it was pretty brisk business for a Sunday and lots of people were taking their food to go, so there were tables opening up if you're willing to wait. There is also a patio table out back near the parking lot but it was too hot to sit outside if I didn't have to. Next time I have a farmer's market trip planned, I'm sure to stop here. I want to try the 12 tacos for $30 but I need at least two friends to finish it off. 5 star!!!

We visited after a graduation celebration and were looking forward to a memorable meal. The experience got off to a rough start with hosts who were not particularly warm or welcoming. Once seated, things only went downhill. Our waiter seemed disorganized from the beginning. We ordered appetizers first, but they arrived at different times, and to make matters worse, the graduate in our party received her main entrée at the same time the rest of us were receiving appetizers. I politely explained that it didn't make sense for one guest to be eating her entrée while everyone else was still eating appetizers and waiting for their meals. His response was confusing and didn't really address the issue, so we let it go. Unfortunately, the graduate's steak was served cold. Rather than preparing a fresh one, the restaurant simply took it back and returned it about two minutes later. It appeared to be the exact same steak based on how we had left it when it was sent back, and while I'm not sure whether restaurants typically reheat food or prepare a new dish altogether, this one was reheated. To make matters worse, the graduate ended up with a stomachache after eating it. As we continued waiting, our entrées never arrived. The waiter was polite but extremely inattentive. We repeatedly had to flag him down because he rarely checked on our table. After a VERY long wait, I asked about the rest of our meals. At that point, he admitted that he had forgotten to place our entree orders altogether. He then had to take all of our orders again and submit them to the kitchen. By the time our food finally arrived, we were no longer hungry and were extremely frustrated, despite remaining patient and courteous throughout the entire experience. The entrées were decent, but nothing exceptional, especially considering the extremely excessive wait and service issues. The waiter did bring a small dessert for the graduate, which was a nice touch, but it felt more like a complimentary gesture because he had forgotten our entrées than a genuine celebration of the occasion, especially given how disastrous the overall experience had been. What should have been a joyful graduation celebration turned into an exhausting and disappointing dining experience. While the waiter was polite, the service was slow, disorganized, and lacking attention to detail. Overall, this was a poor first experience and not one I would be eager to repeat.

There were so many tempting options on the menu, but we landed on the empanadas with mango slaw, birria tacos with a side of vegetables, and the enchiladas suizas. Every single dish was mouthwateringly delicious--nothing fell short of spectacular. Even the service stood out; our waitress was outstanding and made the whole experience even better. The portions are generous, and what really sets this place apart is the seasoning. Each dish had its own unique twist that elevated it well beyond your standard Mexican menu. The slow-cooked meat in both the empanadas and birria tacos was incredibly tender--so good it kept us going back for "just one more bite" long after we were full. And the tomatillo sauce on the enchiladas? Easily the best I've ever had--and I don't say that lightly. I'm a bit of a tomatillo sauce snob, and this one completely blew me away. We're just visiting the area, but this quaint little spot--with its charming covered patio--left a lasting impression on our trip. If you're local, this should be in your regular rotation.
