    Great visit here! The food was delicious, the restaurant ambience is relaxing and so pretty, the service was great, and the bathroom was clean!! We were in the area and looking for some Mexican food. I checked yelp and this place looked good so we decided to try it. It was a Thursday night so we were seating right away. The restaurant is very pretty and I enjoyed looking at the decorations. I had to use to bathroom and I was impressed with the cleanness. Back to the table, the server had already served us some chips and a salsa trio that came with some smoky salsa, queso and a regular salsa. I was impressed with the free queso! Already won me there! Plus the salsas were delicious! Our server was nice and quick. My husband ordered the ACP ARROZ CON POLLO and I ordered a TACO ASADA. The ACP was delicious! The chicken was juicy and had a tropical flavor to it. One of the pieces I ate had some pink in it but it looked cooked. I'm pregnant so I didn't eat that piece. The rice was great. My taco was delicious but they only gave me one tortilla so after the first bite everything broke apart and it was hard to hold which made the experience a little annoying. I did bring that up to the server and she said she would tell the kitchen. First time getting a taco with only one tortilla. The asada was very good though, juicy and delicious. Looks like they have some daily specials and I'll probably take advantage of them sometime. I would definitely come back but I would love to get 2 tortillas for my next taco please. Other than that, everything was amazing. Great service, great food, clean bathrooms, beautiful decor and great location.

    we love Frontera, my son loves their queso cheese and nachos, my husband loves their drinks and I love their hot sauce and fajitas. We always have great service and the restaurant is elegantly designed and nice but it's a laid back atmosphere. We like their fried ice cream also!!!

    We go here probably weekly. Not a huge fan of Mexican Food in GA but this place is always decent and the service is great. The Buford one is not as big as most of there locations but the decor and ambiance is better.

    When traveling, you never know where to go that will be good food. This place was perfect! From the friendly hostesses that greeted us at the door, gentleman that brought chips, salsa & queso, to our wonderful waitress! My allergies were no problem and it didn't stump our waitress for even a second! I had the best chicken burrito and my hubby had amazing shrimp tacos! (Tacos were only $5ea) The vibe in this place is also so chill! If you are a local or traveling through like we were, GO HERE! You won't regret it! Plus a super cute bag for your leftovers!

    Came in for dinner tonight. Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waitress Jasmine was a delight. My Mexican chicken soup was perfect. And the burrito Al Capone was amazing. Well done guys.

    Black Margarita
    Sandra P.

    Complimentary chips with 3 small dips (queso and 2 different salsa's) that went well with our Margarita's. I decided to try the interesting black margarita with black salt rim which was fun but not sure it had much alcohol in it, for $21 I would hope so! The steak in the taco's and burrito's was really good, high quality and tender. The ambience is cool, modern and trendy but the noise factor was high that night. Lots of large parties which is fine, I'll keep it in mind next time we want to do a group outing. Overall will try this place again, parking is plentiful and the service was good.

    Chicken chimichanga
    Debra S.

    Nice open dining room with a modern Mexican decor. Comfortable seating and fun atmosphere. We stopped after seeing a movie. They were doing a cinco de mayo special you could win money if you ordered from their special menu. Running through May 5th. We got the guac smash, carne asada taco, chicken chimichanga to split. It had so much chicken! The complimentary chips come with a board of two diff salsas and a cheese dip ( the salsa is unlimited but not the cheese dip) we were sat right away and our food came out fast. I even got to keep my special color changing cup that came with my strawberry margarita! Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

    Seafood burrito
    Doug L.

    A nice experience. A really nice drink menu. Free chips with theee different sauces. A nice touch. I had the seafood burrito with shrimp and tilapia. Both were a tad overcooked but not bad. Nice cheese sauce and rice and beans. Servers was nice and attentive. Give it a try

    The food was good but great days, turn the music down. Also I was not fond of the inside decor. It felt like I was eating in a cafeteria.

    Three stars, but let me explain. We've had friends hype this place up.... Big time. It opened…read morenearly a year ago, just down the road from our house and haven't had the opportunity to try it until this week, but have always noticed the lines out door and the packed parking lot. Friday, we decided to go for a late lunch pick up. Let me say again... we only live about three miles from the restaurant. We arrive, it's around 3pm and the place is PACKED. It's an adorable place. Great ambiance, totally welcoming when you come in the door. They've got nice outdoor seating as well, with cornhole games and lighting. Nice touch, especially on a beautiful day. Walking in, we were greeted by the clerk at the register and informed it would be a 20 minute wait, which was fine. This having been our first time there, we both decided to order the sampler platter, which was one catfish filet, two chicken tenders, three shrimp, fries, and a hush puppy. For $16.99, it's a pretty good deal! We also ordered a side of cheese grits to try. The clerk was in the process of leaving and did so after taking our order. We waited. People came in after us and we watched them get their food before us. 15 minutes...20 minutes...30 minutes... finally about 35 minutes later, they come out with our order. We left. Drove the three miles home and opened the boxes. Everything was cold. Not Luke warm. Cold. Waiting that long doesn't bother me. But I do expect after that long, that the food be fresh. The fries had gone soggy, the batter on the fish, chicken, and shrimp were also soggy and starting to fall off. It was obvious that our food had been ready for a bit and then sat back there longer than necessary. And this is where my husband and I part ways on opinion... I do NOT generally care for catfish. Never have. I actually had asked the first clerk if I could sub that part out for flounder, but she said, no. I'm glad she did. Hands down, best catfish experience ever, even though it was cold and falling apart. Zero muddy, off taste that I normally associate with catfish. It honestly was delicious and if that's what it's like cold, then I can only imagine how good it would be fresh. I also liked the shrimp, the chicken, and the hush puppy- although I will say... I was a bit disappointed to see there was only one, it to be fair, it was gigantic. It was NOT soggy, so I don't know what happened there. Anyway, the hush puppy was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside with bits of corn throughout. The shrimp, though I liked it, lacked a bit on seasoning and I can say the same about the chicken. That said, the chicken was juicy and tender. Not quite Gus's or Gutheries quality, but head and shoulders above Zaxby's or Huey Magoos. I could honestly take or leave the fries but that's me... I don't particularly like crinkle cuts, especially after they've gone soggy, which is why I don't like Zaxby's. My husband, however, was disappointed overall. The only thing we agreed on was that the catfish was really good, but he did point out that between the fish, chicken, and shrimp, they all had the exact same batter...the catfish just carried it better. I did love the grits and would pick that as my side over the fries. Just a matter of preference, there. Here's the thing- we do our best to support local, small businesses, pointedly ones who are veteran owned, and recognize that small businesses, in particular, are especially vulnerable to bad or off days. Based on all the reviews from people we personally know, we're positive that's exactly what happened to us on Friday. So, in light of that experience, I'm giving it 3 stars with the promise that we will try again and I will edit this review to reflect that second experience. Overall for me, I'd go back for the catfish any day and they showed me how good that one thing can be when it's done right. As for my husband and his opinion of the other items... I pointed out that it's not called Brookton SHRIMP OR CHICKEN School. Catfish is what they specialize in, and as far as I'm concerned, they nailed it.

    Quite a stylish Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of the bustling Cumming City Center. I was in…read moretown on a quick work trip and found myself right around the corner from here when hunger struck around lunch time. I took to Yelp and found Santa Maria right down the block. The location, awesome reviews, and photos made it a no-brainer. My lunch companion and I decided to share the queso fundito and shrimp empanadas and both were great. The queso fundito came with roasted corn and a garlic toast while the shrimp empanadas were plated on top of a bed of salad. The empanadas were a nice size and I would totally order these just for myself for lunch. I added a shrimp tempura taco to round out my meal. It was juicy, a bit spicy because of the jalapeno mayo, and overall a nice way to end my meal. I'll wrap this up by congratulating them on landing a spot on Yelp's Best New Restaurants list for 2025. Only 100 businesses in the ENTIRE country get on the list - so this is huge. Based on my experience, well deserved. Definitely give them a visit soon!

The cauliflower appetizer was a hit with everyone and the portion was huge. I personally would have preferred it to be cooked a little less, as it was quite soft. The patatas bravas were decent. The tres leches cake was excellent and came as a generous slice. The milk was served on the side, which we poured over the cake. We shared it among six people, and it was just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. Our server was very friendly, and the restaurant itself is really cute. Around 7pm on Saturday evening, just as we were leaving, a man and woman started performing live music with vocals and guitar. We were on our way to the Lou Sobh Amphitheater (just a quick walk over) to see a cover band, which made for a fun night out. This whole area in Cumming is a great place to hang out.
