    22 oz Top shelf margarita
    Angelica D.

    I have to admit that I wasn't thrilled about coming here, but my recent experience was a good one. I've been a few times in the past and didn't really enjoy the food. This location was chosen for a retirement dinner for a former coworker. They easily accommodated around 30 people. The top shelf margarita was pretty decent and I enjoyed my food (dinner combo with hard shell taco and an enchilada). The food came out fast and drinks came out fast and the customer service was great.

    The food was delicious.. nice atmosphere.. service was a little slow, but they seemed short staffed. Izzy did a great job!

    This location has truly gone down with its food and service our server Rebecca is horrible with customer service the tacos were ok but my enchiladas were super sorry and sloppy not a good experience this time

    Peach/Mango frozen marg soooo good
    Tanya J.

    Meet of my friends here for lunch, I arrived a few minutes early and decided to be seated and proceeded to order a Peach/Mango marg it was soo good while I waited for my friend to arrive. I ordered the snapper with scallops on top with rice and I added refried beans, so good! My friend ordered a grande burrito, we both enjoyed the food and fellowship! The ambiance was nice, nice crowd there for lunch. Its in a plaza with plenty of free parking, will most definitely be back and all of the employees I encountered there was very attentive and friendly, cuddos to them!

    Our bartender Donavon was awesome. The prices were really good. Warm atmosphere. Bathroom was clean. I had the Texas Burrito which was out of this world. Family friendly. Great spot for drinks or to grab a bite.

    When you walk in the vibe is vibrant the staff is friendly and the food it smells amazing. We started with the 8$ margarita special . Sadly it missed the mark it was mostly lemon sour and the salted rim was very overpowering that the drink just tasted like salted lemon water what made it worse was that the drink was very very warm not sure if this is a premixed pitcher just sitting at the bar but it should have been shaken first or maybe even refrigerated sadly by the time I took a sip even tho it had ice it was very warm. I ordered the super steak chimichanga and my sister the super shrimp chimichanga. Though it presented well , we were disappointed to see that it was a burrito covered in cheese ( the distinction of a chimichanga is that it's deep-fried, ) this was not . As I cut into it to taste the steak I was disappointed at how flavorless it was I've had many steak chimichangas and to my surprise this was stuffed with strips of steak with unseasoned onions and peppers and loads of sliced tomatoes. It tasted flavorless my sisters shrimp was also flavorless . We added salt ,pepper, pico and queso to bring it to life but sadly nothing could save the meal We barely ate half . Our waitress Jennifer was great , very polite and attentive but what ever is going on in the kitchen needs to be reevaluated . Queso is good, the smoked chipotle salsa is also good , nice warm chips that needed salt but not a problem to add . The speed in which the food came was almost too quick imo which is prob why it tasted so bland. Prob won't be back .

    Prompt service, excellent food. I can't believe all the bad reviews from pretentious folks who have to nit-pick and complain about everything. The tacos were great, the beer was cold, my mug got filled in a timely fashion. Absolutely no complaints. Some of y'all are too picky and too full of yourselves. Have another beer and be quiet.

    I come here all the time and this has been the worst experience! Server doesn't speak English and won't get help from anyone. The socalled female manager came over and she gave nothing but nasty attitude. She actually tried to argue with me over the order I tried to place for MYself. She practically yelled at me!! They raised the prices extremely high. I can see why they don't have any customers

    Nachos Supreme
    Ericka-Denise N.

    Ehhh...not really impressed! Went here today, 11-28-2023 for lunch with my husband. First off, the health score was an 87...not bad, but not GREAT either! The hostess was eating lunch, which wasn't a big deal, b/c as soon as we approached, she came and seated us immediately. Our waitresses...yes 2, b/c the primary waitress looked to be in training and also needed an interpreter, b/c she couldn't speak great English. But it wasn't bad. I ordered the chicken taquitos. The chicken was kinda tough and not seasoned well, but the presentation was very pretty..pics attached. My husband got the large chicken nachos! And by large, I mean Gigantic! He should've gotten the small b/c it was a lot of food! He said it was good though! I will add, that if you like sour cream and won't extra, please be aware that it's $1.30 for a side of it.... say what now!! I wish we would have known, b/c we would've told them to keep it. I mean, sour cream isn't an expensive product and for the life of me I can't seem to understand why restaurants charge an arm and a leg for a side of it...oh well, I digress! Would I go back? Maybe, maybe not.

    The food was pretty good and the service was quick as we ordered takeout. I will say the cheese or queso that we ordered for takeout isn't a little 2 ounce container and it's probably not worth the amount that they are charging unless you're sitting in the restaurant. Our food overall was good and fresh. I would love to try this restaurant again and eat inside.

    Texas margaritas
    William N.

    Great service. We sat at the bar and Jenny did an amazing job. Food and drinks were great! Clean establishment and welcoming.

    The table of people behind us who came after us, got their food before us, ate and left before us and we still have not received food.
    Nicole S.

    This place is horrible. I have been here for an hour and my waitress, Isabella, is horrible!!! We still haven't received our food and the people behind us who came in AFTER us had a different waitress and are now leaving because they got their food and left. That's how long we have been here with NOTHING! UPDATE: I finally got my food. Isabella proceeded to tell us it wasn't her fault and the kitchen is normally fast and she made the guacamole and the drinks for us but the kitchen did the rest that's why it took us so long to get our meals. She said she's a really good waitress (no one asked, but she felt the need to defend herself because she knew she took way too long). I have to say the food was delish! I haven't really had Tex-Mex before. Being from California we have real Mexican food. So I ordered the Chimichanga with chicken, steak, and shrimp. My boyfriend had the steak (not pictured) and both were good. So they get half a star for good food and a negative star for bad service. I do not recommend this place. There's tons of good food in Atlanta with exceptional service, but this spot was not it.

The issues arose when there was miscommunication between him and a guest of mine. Her food was made incorrectly and it was black... burnt and he still charged her for food not eaten. He spoke little English and didn't understand and he went and got what was supposed to be a manager (Hispanic female) and she immediately came in charging at my guest and screaming at her. My guest didnt get a chance to say anything for being verbally attacked by this deranged female!! We all looked at this female and told her to stop. Don't talk to people like that and you barely speak English too. Get someone thst understands. The deranged female kept yelling. My guest asked her to calm down and the female continued screaming and then threatened to call the police! Other customers told the deranged female to stop and she refused. She knew she was wrong. She didn't even understand the issue because she never listened and she should've gotten someone that spoke English. My guest remained calm throughout this attack, paid her bill and left. This female was still screaming at her as she walked away. Anyone else would've turned around and took action being this female was in her personal space. We step outside and there are 4 police cars outside due to this female lying about what actually happened!! Had we called the polICE on her, it would be a different story. Then she told the police I couldn't come back in. What did I do?? I didn't want to go back in anyway and won'tbe returning. The other locations are better than this one anyway. This restaurant socalled manager obviously has some kind of racism in her being she did not speak to anyone non color in the same manner. I hope she has her credentials intact.

It was 5 Stars!!!…read moreI am so disappointed to write this, because I love this restaurant, I love the servers, I love hanging out with people my age, and visiting with locals. I moved here less than a year ago to be close to my grandkids and this is where I've made a few friends. It's the best Mexican food on this side of town, but on 6/11/2026 I had an unexplainable negative experience . I consumed two small margaritas in 2-3 hours. At some point my bev was spiked. I lost all memory from 4-845pm. I regained consciousness at my son's home after arriving around 7:50 Pm. The manager explained I left the restaurant around 5:00pm- I thought I left at 4:00. I have zero recollection of anything after 4pm. Yes, it's upsetting that I drove 100 miles God knows where and my family located me on a dirt road in the complete opposite direction from my home- unconscious, and without knowing how I got there. What made the experience even more upsetting and stressful is the manager didn't believe me, and was angry at me for reporting it to her. She was defensive. She said she saw nothing on video as if she is a forensic expert. I expected they would want to know, so I came forward. I certainly would and would educate my staff. I thought they would care that something untoward took place. I'm so upset, it was traumatic, but NEVER did I accuse the restaurant. As someone who has 10 years experience in the hospitality business and 25 years in Hospital management , I can comfortably say that she handled this incorrectly, by being accusatory and hostile towards me. I never got a call from a superior. I deserved to be treated with respect and care. I just want to move forward, and see my friends again, but I will never leave my beverage unattended anywhere again. She has stated she will never serve me alcohol again, so I can no longer have that happy hour margarita with my friends that I so enjoyed here. I am being punished. This is exactly why women don't come forward when they are assaulted, because we are blamed and shamed for situations out of our control. Shame on you Los Bravos. #Metoo *Be fair warned this is not uncommon . Friends of mine ( a couple) had this happen to them in Decatur last year, they woke up at home with no memory of the evening. In addition my niece was "roofied" in Paris also last year. Thank you. Be Very Safe

The other reviews did not lie! The restaurant is located in the back of a small Mexican grocery store. There was a guy out front singing and opening the door for patrons that were going in and out, which I thought was so sweet! I walked straight to the back to the restaurant. I ordered three birria tacos and birria ramen. I also got a bottled cook. The price was $35.00. They do have tables to dine in and that was my plan but I ended up taking it to go. Hands down the BEST tacos I have ever had. I have to admit that was my first time having birria tacos and I am kicking myself because I have most definitely been missing out. Plenty of meat, the flavors, the heat from the red sauce...it did not miss. The ramen was good but I expected it have an egg and vegetables but it was meat and noodles. I don't plan on ordering the ramen again, but if I do, I will add to it. One thing I did notice is the receipt did not request a tip. Maybe that is a good thing but I would have loved to tip them for the good service and exceptional food. They did have a tip jar at the counter so if you want to leave a tip, be sure to bring cash. So if you are in the area or don't mind the drive, get the birria tacos but don't be like me and just get three, get at least 4+.
