    a menu for a mexican restaurant
    JHonnY B.

    Excellent service with a smile at this family-owned restaurant. Taco Guerrero. Tortillas a mano servidas bien calentitas.

    Stumbled upon this gem looking for some authentic Mexican food for a quick family dinner. Super friendly staff greeted us as soon as we walked in. Order at the counter, choose your salsas and grab a table. Food arrives quickly as each dish was finished. Recommend the Torta with chicken and chorizo. Pretty amazing. Fresh bread and condiments, delicious meats. This place looks like it's run by a family. Drop in and check it out!

    Shredded Chicken Burrito topped with onions and cilantro (I added their salsa) with a side of rice. HIGHLY recommend!

    Omg!! My husband brought a burrito home from here last week and I have been craving another one ever since. Shredded Chicken Burrito - smothered with queso and (upon suggestions from previous reviews) topped with onions and cilantro. PHENOMENAL! This appears to be a family owned/run business and their service and food on both visits have been awesome. You need to give them a try!

    Caritas Torta. GROSSS!!!! Smelled like seafood.

    Disgusting carnitas torta. Smelled like seafood, not pork. I took one bite and had to spit it out. I was afraid I might get food poisoning. It appeared as if the server didn't really care to answer when questioned about the menu. This place doesn't even have beer. Do yourself a favor and go to the other Mexican restaurant down the road.

    Some of the best fresh chunky guacamole I've ever had. Wonderful service and very clean. Authentic too!!

    Some of the best fresh chunky guacamole I've ever had. Enchiladas Supreme was muy bueno!!! 4 different enchiladas in red sauce. Beautifully clean place and wonderful hospitality. Just what we needed after a long drive from Milwaukee.

    If the sign says open till 9:00.... Shouldn't you stay open till 9:00?

    Yes - but their business days and hours are all over the place. Wish the owners would speak to this.

Unfortunately this visit was disappointing. The prices were not posted anywhere, nowhere, no paper menus with prices. This may be fine for people where money is not an object but although I appreciate the benefits of health food and am willing to pay and this is not the case for me. I found this distasteful. We were quickly told that is was a branding choice to exclude prices and a way to engage more with clientele except when I asked how much things were they didn't know... there is so many more ways to increase engagement between customer and staff. Also, all this being said prices are totally reasonable for a juice bar. Next the avocado toast was missing at least two ingredients the avocado oil and the Himalayan salt, so it was pretty bland, small portion and left us wanting the ingredients we were missing. The coconut sky smoothie was good, sweeter than my usual taste but totally yummy. Overall, this visit left me not wanting to return when I was so looking forward to this long awaited return. It didn't hold the same warmth, authenticity and care this time around.

It was the perfect healthy pit stop for lunch. We ordered the Woodstock bowl, avocado toast, multiple smoothies, iced coffee, and some hummus for the road because it was so good. Everything was so delicious and nutritious. I had to exercise some self control and not purchase all of the healthy snacks and deli items on their shelves - so many treasures! The menu features a variety of bowls, smoothies with protein add-ins, kid-sized smoothies and more. The Woodstock bowl was packed with veggies and the star of the show.

There are tons of vegan options, and you don't have to look too hard for gf options if that's your jam. The store itself is packed with amazing health food items like mushroom coffee, shilajit, matcha, electrolytes, and so much more. They also have a refrigerated grab-and-go section with fresh juices, rice paper rolls, chia seed pudding, and a lentil casserole. The glass dessert case is full of vegan treats like peanut butter and chocolate cups, bliss balls, and donuts. The menu is extensive with tons of great organic vegan options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough (they also offer gluten-free and multigrain) with cashew cheese and a side of chili. I also got a beet juice, a lemon lavender muffin, chia seed pudding, and a decaf oat milk latte. The sandwich was pretty good. The bread seemed really fresh and I enjoyed the cashew cheese. The side of chili had a slight twist that elevated it above most regular chili recipes. It was good, but had a little too much corn for my taste personally. The beet juice was delicious and a generous portion. The desserts were just okay, but I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet and didn't have any weird ingredients. Honestly, it's just so nice knowing your food has no weird ingredients and everything is organic! The only downside was the coffee. Honestly, it was probably one of the worst I've ever had. Maybe it was just an off day or a mistake, I'm not sure. Everything else was good though! I would definitely recommend this spot. The decor is really cute and inviting. I love that they offer plenty of seating options too -- indoor, an enclosed outdoor patio, and an exterior exposed patio. Logistical Notes: Parking was super easy with a lot right out front. There are two accessible bathrooms for people with disabilities, and I love that they have a gender-inclusive restroom as well. You order at the register, they bring you your food, and then you bus your own "tray."

Since it was our first visit and everything on the menu spoke to us, she helped steer us in the right direction. I ended up ordering the pistachio croissant, and honestly... I'd go back for that alone. It was warm, huge by croissant standards, and absolutely heavenly. I even grabbed another one to take home because Future Me deserved a little happiness too. We also tried the raspberry lemon danish, which was a delicious combo, but the pistachio croissant stole the show without breaking a sweat. We started with the poutine, and while it wasn't the traditional version I've had before, it was incredible. Instead of cheese curds blocks, it came with pulled pork and melted cheese, and somehow it just worked. Comfort food with a little Southern flair. For breakfast, we had the ham and cheese omelet with breakfast potatoes. It was exactly what you want it to be--classic, satisfying, and impossible to regret if that's your usual order. I also tried the Liquid Gold juice. Their juice selection is impressive, but I may have accidentally found my forever order on the first try. It was so refreshing, with just a hint of ginger. For a hot drink, I highly recommend the London fog. I'm not usually a tea fan but if you don't want coffee, this is an excellent option. Before we left, we picked up some of their salted caramels to go, and they make the perfect little gift... assuming you have enough self-control not to eat them all in the car. The vibe here is upscale southern diner. One of the signs on the wall said, "All are welcome, but you need to act right," and honestly, that's the kind of life advice we could all use. I also really appreciated that parking was free. In Chattanooga these days it's hard finding a place where you don't have to scan a QR code, download an app, and pay to park just to eat. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Milk & Honey is absolutely worth a visit...and if you're debating the pistachio croissant, stop debating and just order it. Your only regret will be not getting a second one.

I absolutely loved the décor. The menu is extensive, and it was hard to choose just one thing, so my friend and I ordered two juices (Dope Beets & Let's Kick It Out) and two plates (the Grilled Pimento Panini and the Buddha Bowl) to share. The juices were phenomenal. Honestly, I would go back just for those. I really wanted to love the food, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. I even ordered a cookie to try to redeem the meal, but that missed the mark as well. I felt especially bad because I brought a non-vegan friend and didn't want their first impression of vegan food to be a disappointing one, but sadly, that's how it turned out. That said, I'd be willing to return and try something different. Maybe it was just an off day, or perhaps the dishes we chose just weren't the best representation of the menu. I'd definitely come back for the juices, and I'm curious to try the smoothies too. Those might be a winner. I really want this place to thrive and wish them all the best! I really love their concept and support their mission 100%.
