What a gem while traveling between Atlanta and Talladega! The current rating does not do it…read morejustice. Service was amazing! But even better was the food. We started with the chunky guacamole based on other reviews and were not disappointed. Chili Relleno's made from scratch out of this world! Fajitas did not disappoint. Had a little bit of Christmas music, which was surprising and pleasant. Hands-down, the best margaritas we've had! I never knew cilantro would be used in a margarita so perfectly! What a surprise! The Mezcal-Rita was so great! The choices of cocktails, margaritas, and enchiladas we're overwhelming! Good thing we plan to return so we can try something else. Next time it'll be hard to steer away from what we just had.

Tex Mex spots in rural Georgia are perhaps the most authentic and real thing that exists in the…read morestate on a consistent basis. Sure, we might say that there a BBQ joint that's locally owned or a catfish spot on the lake, but those are few and far between. One thing that's always present in the countryside is the love for what locals call Mexican food, which is a lot more of Tex Mex than anything else. La Chiquita is a newer establishment that's just a few years old and is conveniently located right off the interstate exit, providing passers by a flavorful way to grab a meal and a draft Dos Equis, without having to poison oneself with fast food joints. The interior at the restaurant is great at this price point and has a clean bathroom. The chicken fajitas lunch portion is massive, with juicy chicken. The side refried beans are a bit on the watery side and don't have much cheese, so can't call that the best preparation. There is fresh avocado with onions and lettuce also. The chuncky guac is more like a guac salad, the pieces are very much separate and it's a bit hard to call it a guacamole. Chips and salsa are great, but chips could be a little thinner and more delicate. One thing that I would recommend the restaurant to revisit is replacing the plates and glasses from plastic. While it is likely a way to save money, the restaurant at this price point should have normal glasses and normal ceramic plates. Forks and spoons are also extremely cheap cafeteria aluminum variety. All around, it's a great establishment and will certainly make a worthwhile stop. Excellent food and solid preparation. Very nice servers and attentive environment make this a very attractive option in the area.

It was later in the evening say 9pm. I ordered food and one of their Margaritas. Thankfully I did not get a huge one because it tasted horrible. When I mentioned that to my server he basically said too bad it's alcohol and I had to drink what was poured for me. It was basically some sort of premixed Jalapeño margarita that was brownish in color with an unpleasant taste. I love Jalapeño margs., but this one was not delicious. I tried a couple more tiny sips, but it was NOT going to be possible to drink. My actual food was eh. I believe my food order was slightly wrong. Plus, it wasn't any exciting so I didn't take a pic. I'll be trying a different Mexican restaurant next time and just to be on the safe side bottled/on tap beer. Sad bc I love Mexican food and this place immensely disappointed me!!
