My lady and I happened to find this spot while walking around downtown Augusta. I thought it looked too good to pass up. If you know anything about me, you know I can't pass up good Mexican food, and this was that and then some. We popped in for lunch and were seated right away. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We loved all the artwork and the laid back feel of the place. The menu was loaded with lots of tasty options at great prices. Here's what we had: -House Margarita pitcher -Three beef hard shell tacos -Burrito Supreme w/ rice and beans They brought our food out very quickly and everything was great. The margaritas were very tasty too. Our server was extremely attentive and made sure our drinks were always filled. Even the chips and salsa were delicious. We'd absolutely go back here again. read more

Fun location, great staff, and good food. The chips and salsa was interesting because besides the typical tomato based salsa, there was also a bean dip that was very good. I immediately ordered the mole chicken enchiladas because it's very rare. You find a restaurant who serves a good mole dish. I would've probably given five stars, but I've found the mole to be a little thin for my liking. They need to thicken it up a little bit. I believe they have locations elsewhere and I am more than willing to stop again because I wasn't impressed with their overall vibe. read more

My fiancée picked this spot for lunch. The outside looked cool and who can pass up a Mexican restaurant?! The inside is pretty cool! It's super bright, colorful, spacious and loved the decor! They were not busy so we were seated right away. I was blown away with their food and drink menu. Very reasonable in pricing. Good selection and has something for everyone. Including vegetarians. We ordered: -House Margarita pitcher -Three beef hard shell tacos -Burrito Supreme with beans and Spanish rice. I loved the complimentary chips and salsa. It had great flavor. The house Margarita was amazing. We didn't wait long for our food. We both enjoyed it! Love my tacos! It wasn't messy to eat and tasty. My fiancée enjoyed his meal as well. What a great experience. Service was good, bathrooms clean and food was great! I highly recommend you check them out. read more

Almost a year later and still going strong! I can't express enough how happy it makes me that they keep the bay door (facing Broad Street) open almost all of the time. That indoor/outdoor space is perfect and makes the place feel even bigger (though it is plenty big enough). Always a fan of the cheese dip with beef added and lately my go-to has been the tacos. Usually my appetite demands a burrito (and beans and rice and...), but their tacos has me hooked. The team here are always top notch and the orders come out at breakneck speed. A much welcomed and needed addition to downtown Augusta! read more

Fourth time here and the food is always great. Usually I get carne asada tacos but the last two times I've gotten the birria tacos which is an off menu item that you have to ask for. Highly recommend. The wait staff is always great and attentive. I've never encountered a wait to be seated but I have passed by one time and there was a line out the door. The inside is decorated with murals representing Hispanic culture. read more

Ambience. B Service. A Food. A Price. A Today was a little warm in places. The heat factor over 85 degrees-in Augusta just can't get some places cool enough. I just pretended I was in Mexico on a balmy day. Service was friendly and swift. Always get the Michelida with homemade tomato mix and spicy with 6 shrimps. I request modelo beer $16! Also, perfect for me is one ala carte tamale with green sauce. $4 And the chips and salsa are complimentary Also, remind me to always ask for Charro beans soup as my bean substitute. Delicious!!! I'm a FaN! read more

I have been here on a number of occasions and no matter how busy they are, the wait is never longer than 15 minutes. The restaurant is decorated very nicely with drawings all over the wall. When sitting, you get not only salsa but a black bean dip and it is delicious! I have tried a number of things on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The food comes out quick and it is always piping hot. My favorite to order is the combination plates that comes with a chalupa, cheese taco, beef taco, and beef enchiladas beater you get the must bang fit your buck. They're at the top of my list for Mexican in the area. Be aware that the prices are much higher than the others, but it's worth it! read more

Dirty and not well maintained restaurant serving up loud canned music, canned salsa and bland lukewarm food. Our visit was punctuated with slow inept service. I had a bad feeling when we approached the restaurant and the decorative brick flowerbed out front was devoid of plants but full of people deterrant spikes and rat poison bait boxes. Sad just sad. There were 6 waitresses standing around chatting and texting in front of us at the station at the front of the restaurant. Several were in the women's restroom doing their hair as well. We didn't see any other customers in the place which should have been a red flag. Charro beans were good. If you have to eat here just get a bowl of those and ask for them to be heated up. Way overpriced small portions and very plain. Just not good food. Will never walk in the place again. I highly suggest you skip this place and go elsewhere. read more

Hard to find a place with some street tacos and this place was it! $16.99 for 3 street tacos is more on the steep end, but you get 3 tacos in corn tortilla with a protein choice of chicken or steak with a side of rice and sauce. My friends and I definitely enjoyed the meal and they have a bar area to dine in as well. The restaurant is very spacious with multiple dining areas and even an area that caters to large parties along with a patio section. Staff were friendly and the waitress we had was very attentive and made sure our dining experience was pleasant. Definitely will be back here again for some street tacos. Parking is all street, so it can be a challenge. read more

My grandson recommended getting dinner here. I hadn't been in the building since it was a pizza place. The interior is bright and colorful with vibrant tiles and painted murals. It was a Wednesday evening and it wasn't terribly crowded. We asked the hostess for a low regular table. It took us three tries before we found a table that wasn't wobbly. Once seated our very nice server Sienna was there to take our drink order. She told us draft beer was on special and recommended a Mexican lager when mom's requested Mondela was not available. I ordered a house margarita and i wished Sierra had mentioned that there was a special on small margs during happy hour. She brought us a basket of chips, a small bowl of salsa and a small bowl of bean dip. Both dips were good. Oldest grandson chose shrimp nachos, the younger one got the cheeseburger and mom and I ordered the "nachos locos" to share. We also ordered a tamale, a chili relleno, and a cheese dip. All the food tasted fine but I thought the portions were on the small side given what they were charging. The tamale was one of the best I have ever had. The chili relleno could have been crispier but the flavors were there. The total bill was $98 before a tip. read more

The best way to describe this place. You know the food is good when the waiter cannot speak English that well and usually you have to point. This place is probably the most esthetic Taco place with very affordable prices and drinks. The food is very good for it's price. They usually also have a rotated drink options that pop up and it's pretty good. Service is pretty fast and paying our food is fast. Only issue is finding this place randomly is a miracle read more

I am always down for Mexican food. Great selection, even on the lunch menu. I don't know if it was happy hour since it was lunchtime, but the beer is very inexpensive. And cold! Pretty cool atmosphere in and out, we sat outside. The taco salad was good, (average)...my friend had fish tacos, and they looked delicious! Diana was wonderful, service was excellent! I'd go again! read more

This is my second time here. Both times, the food has been good. I will say, the service is a little slow. But nothing that can't improved upon. I'm happy to see that this place is still open in Downtown Augusta. My only complaint (if that's what you call it), would be to have Agua Fresca in store. The menu says that you have some. Even though when I ask what kind you have, the waiter/waitress says we don't have any. I would recommend either you get some or take it off the menu. Being from Vegas where we have all kinds of Mexican places to eat, this place fills the void if your craving Mexican. read more

we went on a Saturday night at 5:30 and it wasn't busy yet so got seated pretty quickly. The server was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was nice lighting and very modern mexican restaurant. The margarita was good! The food was also good, decent flavor but this restaurant isn't anything special. Just like any other Augusta mexican restaurant. Overall good and would go again though. read more

Good vibes here for sure. I got a well tequila shot, Mexican mule, and the shredded chicken chimichanga for $30. I was disappointed in the portion size of the chimichanga. It was $13 and it was a pretty small burrito. Definitely not what I was expecting. The drinks were okay. Not very strong but tasted good. Salsa was made with care to not be spiced at all. Our server was amazing. I don't remember her name but she was super down to earth and attentive. read more

Downtown Augusta has new eatery on the block. Walking in,I was greeted by smiling faces. The place is very colorful with a small area outside for seating. I was pleased to see a vegetarian section on the menu, from which I chose the spinach and mushroom quesadillas. I also had the table side guacamole . My drink was frozen mango and watermelon margarita and they serve chips with black bean and regular salsa. Everything was very tasty my server checked on me often and someone came by to ask how was everything. I enjoyed my food, service and drink. read more

This was our first visit, and we were impressed with the service and the food. From the time that we arrived we felt welcomed, and everyone was very attentive to our needs. We had this blue lemon drop martinis that were very good. You can tell that the salsa was made very well and with very fresh ingredients. The food was warm and tasty. The restaurant was well decorated, there was alot of attention to the details with the table and chairs, as well as all of the beautiful murals on the wall of mexican folklore and 'el dia de los muertos'. I will definitely go again when I am back in Augusta. read more

First time here. Seated at a booth in the foyer! Aluminum foil on the floor and chips all in the booth. Opened the menus to choose the food and both mine and my wife's menu were sticky and had food residue on them which was now on our hands. Waitress was a little slow with drink top ups. The prices are top end Mexican prices so we did not expect the above for the price we paid. Ordered the fried fish which was excellent. It was really yummy which really saved this review. Would we go again - maybe ! read more

A fun spot for margs and Mexican in Augusta, this spot impressed even my discerning Texan tastebuds. We stopped in for a Sunday lunch on our way back home after a weekend visit in Augusta, and took a couple seats at their lively, well-decorated bar. The margs were delicious and huge, Texas-style, and the chips, salsa, and frijoles hit the spot. Her nachos were delicious, while my chiles rellenos, served traditionally with egg batter, were a true taste of home in the most unlikely of places. A great find in Augusta for authentic Tex-Mex. read more

The old downtown Mellow Mushroom location has completely been revamped and it's gorgeous! The food is refreshing and delicious. Service is quick and the staff are very friendly. Can't wait to come back and try out other menu items. We ordered the sampler platter and choriqueso. The chips come with a side of refried black beans and salsa. Menu items are well priced. The restaurant gets packed after 6:30 so come early to avoid waiting in line. read more

A group of 20 ladies decided to have a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We were told no reservations were made. So we just showed up. They provided us with outdoor seating. Since it was really hot and humid we requested them to seat us inside. Initially, they said no tables were available but they were nice enough to adjust us after another large party left. It was a wonderful evening of fun and laughter. The food and drinks were very good. And we all had a lovely time there. A big thanks to the manager for accommodating such a large group. We will certainly return for more! read more

El Paso Tacos and Tequila is always my go to for after work margs because imo they are the best in the city. The bartenders are always so great and helpful and always open to providing any suggestions. My only qualm would be the portion sizes on food, I'm used to feeling stuffed after Mexican usually but I always leave El Paso wanting more food. All in all it's a great spot for drinks and apps for sure. read more

Gave this place another chance and found a bug in my burrito. Wtf. Won't be back, there is better Mexican restaurants in Augusta.

Food was good but I would like to return to try the table side guacamole and empanadas. The service was very quick and the waitress was very nice. Ebed which is the GM was walking around asking how everything was and he made eye contact with me but failed to ask me how everything was so I'm not sure what he was thinking at the moment. Plenty of areas to sit in with a nice patio. I will definitely return and hopefully I can voice my opinion to the GM. read more

Like a few others, nothing to be impressed about. I say at the bar where both bartenders fawned over any single man that sat down. No shade but please ask if I want another drink. One bartender actually came around to the floor to the their order. And erroneously assumed I didn't speak Spanish. Que Lastima! I won't be back. Service was spotty. One thirsty bartender told one of the guys to 'call your sister to come in now.' But she did take all my orders after the first one just ignored me. Overall ok chain. But nah no volveres! read more

I came here last night with some friends. The restaurant was decently busy but I wouldn't say it was packed. My party and I ordered drinks as soon as our waitress came, 3 margaritas and 1 coke. It took 20 minutes for the margarita to arrive and the coke came about 40 minutes later. Shortly after finally seeing our waitress again we ordered a large cheese dip and put in our order for food. Somehow our food came in two minutes and we never even received our cheese dip. The bathroom was also incredibly dirty. The food was pretty standard to other Mexican restaurants in town. There were a few more authentic options here. The prices of margaritas are more expensive than other spots in town. The music was also great! I would come back if they are slow during the week. But I will most likely stay away on weekends. The service was just too bad. The restaurant read more

I new favorite!! Have been visiting this business since they opened and haven't been disappointed -- not once! The margs show major LOVE and the food doesn't miss. I wish I'd taken a pic of what we had yesterday... it was a parillada -- and it was delicious (not pictured). Folks from two tables over were asking what we had and ended up getting it as well!

I definitely enjoyed my food at this restaurant. It was my first time there on a Saturday around 1 pm. Most tables were filled, but service was timely. Chips and salsa came out first along with a bean dip, which was a first for me. I ordered a Watermelon margarita. I got a large but should've asked what the large size looked like because when it came out, I was surprised. It was truly big enough for two in my opinion. Food was delicious. My daughter got Fajita trio and I got the Fajitas Al Pastor with Charro beans. Overall, I was pleased and will be back. read more

The photos online really made the drinks and food look amazing, so I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the expectations. I spent $55 and left feeling disappointed--it was one of the most underwhelming meals I've had in a while. The margaritas were overly sweet and didn't taste quite right, and the portion sizes were surprisingly small--my son's chicken tenders were tiny. On a positive note, our server was incredibly kind and attentive, which we really appreciated. I hope this was just an off day for the kitchen. read more
