Went here because we were craving Mexican food. It is what you'd expect. Not amazing but not terrible. Service is all over the place. It isn't super clean but it isn't disgusting. I'd eat here again if it was the last Mexican restaurant for a while I suppose. read more

La Cabana Mexican Restaurant - Arroz con pollo (ACP) - Mexican Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

See all

Food was bland and not authentic. Read the dictionary's definition and... it says a stuffed poblano pepper not a green bell pepper. Tacos were just meat and lettuce. Rice was almost white with no tomato flavoring. The chalupa looked like a tostada. I am allergic to sour mix and what a disaster trying to order one with lime and orange juice.... Typically a traditional margarita. I asked for salt and it seemed the waiter did not understand! Seemed they were so angry that the 3rd margarita was all lime juice. The burrito was a tortilla and ground beef only. We had 5 people in our party and no one was happy with their meal. Worst Mexican food we have ever had!!! We had friends( party of 7) meeting us and we told them to go elsewhere! Do not go unless you like plain bland food and a plastic jug of margarita mix!!! read more

Quick & friendly service for lunch. I appreciate that lunch is extended until 2:30 especially on the weekend. The food was good enough when you're really hungry. I noticed the standard plates didn't come with mexican salad but only the rice & beans. Would be nice to at least see something green on the plate :-) read more

We were visiting and decided to try this local Mexican restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, we did not receive a warm welcoming. The gentleman who is attending to us had a very poor demeanor. Then a woman came over to take our order and everything was extremely rushed. I ordered a margarita that supposedly was 28 ounces., the glass that was delivered to me was no more than 12 ounces. When I questioned this, I was told that it's not his restaurant and I got exactly what I ordered. We asked for our check and multiple staff members just halted at us from the Kitchen corner. When I went to the register another gentleman rang us up and tried to explain that I had received the margarita that I ordered. I'm not doubting that I did receive what they called the "jumbo", but I was being charged for a 28 ounce beverage, which I did not receive. I did order the guacamole, which was mostly tomatoes, and we received the salsa and chips which tasted like tomato soup. In my opinion, it's hard to mess up a Mexican restaurant, but I would never return here! read more

Have been going to this place for years. Great little American-Mex food. Very comfortable and laid back.

This is some of the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. It was bland and flavorless. I don't think they know what seasonings are, and I don't think they ever heard of cilantro. The salsa tasted like pureed tomatoes, and there wasn't any salt, pepper, or any other herbs or spices, and I couldn't taste any onion. I had a cheese quesadilla that was nothing but monterey jack melted in a tortilla. The service was not much better. I asked for some hot sauce, and they brought me a bowl of something. I asked for a bottle of hot sauce, and they finally brought me a bottle of Mexican hot sauce about 10 minutes later. read more

This was one of the few places in Clayton which was open on July 4 th ( they were closing early). Service was fantastic, all of our food was hot, tasty, fresh, and better than your usually Mexican restaurant. We would definitely return if in the area. read more

Food was mediocre and prices are too high for the quality and taste. I know Mexican food and they can try to do a bit better. The burritos were not very good. Lots of salsa and not much substance. Try a different restaurant. read more

Fast and friendly service. Good tasting food and they satisfied our craving for Mexican food.

Great food and great service. If you are ever in Clayton this place is a must. Octavio is an amazing waiter. The chip's are fantastic. This place is a hidden gem, tucked behind the Chevy dealer. read more

La Cabana Mexican Restaurant - a piece of bread in a basket - Mexican Near Me - Clayton, Georgia

Terrible food and service!. Waited fifteen minutes with empty drinks and had to ask to have them refilled. Requested chips and salsa a third time before it was brought to our table and then we were not even provide with a bowl to pour the salsa into for dipping. Food arrived late and incorrect and some of the meals were cold by the time they brought them to the table. read more

The food here is always consistent and hot when it comes out. The staff is friendly and they get to know their local customers. Service is average time wise, but if there dead you won't be waiting for your food at all. They have great taco salads, cheese dip, and you can't go wrong with a side of sliced avacados. read more

I love good Mexican food, so bold in flavors, colors, and variety. I can't tell you this place fit that criteria. I will give some credit for complimentary chips and salsa and great service, but the food was less than mediocre. We had burritos and enchiladas. What can I say but everything was bland and needed sauce to want to eat what we ordered. Sorry, won't be back. read more

We ordered four jumbo Texas margaritas, so we spent $66 on just our drinks. They basically served us watered down lime slushies. When we said something about the lack of flavor, we just got a shrug from our server. Honestly don't believe there was any liquor in our drinks. Don't waste your money here. read more

The server couldn't tell us whether he would could give us a table for 15. His initial response was, we dont have spaces. The back part of the restaurant was empty plus few booths. I guess they had a big party of 20 people already and couldn't handle it. He went in and out of the back and still couldn't give us a straight answer. We left and went to another restaurant. Will never go there again and will sure I put a bad review on my other accounts and let others know too. read more

A great crew; friendly and personable. A very extensive menu; maybe overly ambitious. The beer is cold and the margaritas are good. Stay away from the chili rellenos; they are nothing mire than hamburger topped with bland cheese and a chunk of chili--nothing stuffed with anything. I sent it back but was charged anyway. The salsa is blended and not great; we bring our own. The chunky guacamole is excellent but, like all of their food, lacks spice. The blended guacamole is institutional and not great. Great people and great potential. If they would get a real chef and back away from the mix and match cafeteria style food, they could soar! read more

Service is pathetic. We always call ahead, they are very difficult to reach by phone. When I go to pick up the order, it is it difficult to get their attention to even let them know I am there. They are too busy playing on their phones and talking. Used in several minutes at the cash register trying to tell them that you're there to pick up an order. Then you pay, get no commitment on when it will be ready, and end up waiting 10 or 15 minutes. This is even after you called ahead 30 minutes to reach them. They do make a great meal, but you better be prepared to have really poor service call my bad attitudes, and the feeling that You are making their day difficult just because you wanted your food. read more

We had a party of 6, & although food came out fast it was just average. The Texas Nachos were very tasty. No one ever came back to refill drinks. With a choice of Mexican restaurants in the area, this was a bit disappointing, both service & food. read more

Great experience. (We are visiting from LA) All the staff is incredible. The food is on point. Juan was our server and he literally was Juan-derful!!! My GF wanted to come for the queso dip that she had as a kid in Arkansas. She was over the moon about it. We had some Don Julio shots and some skinny marghs, they were delightful. The salsa brought to the table is AMAZING - just how I like it. Not chunky and full of flavor. They made us a special to order version of a California burrito with extra fixins for us to go after our sizzling veggie fajitas!! We would def come back FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!! read more

The waiter came out with chips and salsa. The regular salsa was too mild for us, so we asked for hot. He came back with a spicy salsa that tasted like homemade. It was pretty good. I ordered a combo. The Chile Relleno was pepper and ground beef with cheese melted on top - not what I'm used to. We prefer the ones that are actually a pepper, stuffed with cheese and fried. I got a totaguac. It was a corn tortilla fried, with rice, lettuce, cheese, guacamole and a slice of tomato on top. The combo came with rice, which was OK. For dessert, we ordered sopapillas. They were not what were used to, either. It was a flour tortilla, fried, with what tasted like a lot of margarine and a little cinnamon and maybe some honey on top. Well, in all fairness, this is not Mexico or the Southwest. read more

Standard American Mexican food. Strong margaritas. Rapid service and most importantly great food. Highly recommended if you're in Clayton. I always get a chicken taco salad and house margarita. They get pretty busy at dinner time but the wait is worth it. Much gusto. read more

We went to eat at this restaurant today and I ordered the Shrimp Taco Salad. When it arrived I tried the shrimp and it was terrible. It tasted old and had a very strong fish taste. So when we checked out we told the man running cash register that the salad was awful and he was very rude and said nothing is wrong with the shrimp. So instead of asking if we wanted something else or removing the charge, he got very defensive and took off a dollar. So we want be back. read more

Really pleased to find authentic Mexican food in Clayton, GA. The regular guacamole is watery but the Mexican style guacamole was amazing and so fresh. Our group ordered the shrimp fajitas (great, fresh, tons of shrimp), chicken and beef chimichangas (lightly fried, packed full of meat), and enchilada supreme dinner (more food than we could finish). The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back! read more

One star for good service on a busy afternoon. One star for food, because others in the party were happy with their food, especially the size of the servings. I learned about Mexican food in El Paso. This food doesn't come close to what I think Mexican is. Forget the chili relleno, one tiny piece of pepper under a slop of hamburger with cheese. The guacamole was seasonless mush, the refried beans more like bean soup. If you like real Tex-Mex food skip this place. read more

While it isn't true Tex-Mex, it is the best you'll find in North Georgia. You're not going to find greasy cheese enchiladas that Robert Earl Keen sings about. Tip, don't order the combos. Try the la cabana special. Probably the best thing on the menu. read more

I guess it is what I should have suspected for a road-side mexican restaurant in a tiny rural town; worst I've had in years. Frozen dishes are just as good. Skip it. read more

What kind of owner doesn't take the safety of his customers into account when they were made aware of the seafood allergy? Absolutely appalling that he disregards life in such a way. My cousin is a dear soul and he could had killed him with his negligence. From my cousin's wife Bailey: I would usually NEVER do this but this could have been a life or death situation especially if someone other than my husband had a more severe reaction...This post is about the La Cabana Restaurant in Clayton, GA. My family and I have been eating here for years and have made friends with the owner and never had a problem as my husband has a severe shellfish allergy. Tonight my husband and I went and got him a burrito deluxe to go and after having my husbands order messed up twice already, then the owner and waiter assuring him that his food WAS COOKED AWAY from any traces of shellfish, my husband had a severe reaction after eating half of the food as we were driving towards Franklin to go to a movie. I turned around immediately and went straight back to restaurant and asked if I could receive a refund with the receipt AND food in hand and the owner was very quick to start raising his voice and causing a scene. He picked through the food and said he was NOT giving me a refund since all of the burrito wasn't there and humiliated me as I was asking him simple questions. He told me that even after they had told my husband that everything was cooked separately that it was not and told me that he had 16 hard working men in the back who don't change a thing. This conversation went on and on but I told him that I was never coming back to his restaurant and he threw his hands up and said "THANK YOU". Also, this was all during the time that a customer was with me at the counter waiting for his to go order and with a busy night full of people in the restaurant. PLEASE be aware if you have any allergies to anything that is on their menu, they DO NOT honor it even if they say that they do.. read more

The food was Great and our server was fast and friendly! My kids had cheese enchiladas and ate every bit of it! Hubby had a steak burrito that was delicious and I had a regular bean burrito with the white cheese on it and it was Great! The salsa is very good especially with the white cheese Mixed with it! The prices were fare too! Would def come again our next trip to NC! read more

Fantastic food! 3 places in town, one place had mediocre review so tried this place. Had the Texas fajitas for two couldn't finish half! Food and service was great! read more

We seem to always end up here when we want Mexican food. Everything is always good. People are nice and the restaurant is always clean.. Really Good! read more
