This restaurant is in my opinion the best restaurant in Cumming, Georgia. The food is amazing and the owner/chef is really skilled and will tell you interesting stories about where the recipes came from for his dishes. I highly suggest the mole verde de pollo special that they serve on Thursday nights. Its probably one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life. Also, their desserts are super good!! this one is a 10/10!! read more

We appreciated the Reddit recommendation to try this spot in the food desert of Cumming! An early Saturday dinner time allowed us to stop by their place which is located next to a local small grocery store. We were quickly seated and overall service was very friendly and accommodating. My margarita was very fresh tasting and the spicy salt rim was delicious. Next time, I will opt for the 16oz compared to the 12 Oz. Tne fresh juices were tasty as well as the flavor option such as tamarind. Chips were crisp and flaky. So much better than other similar places where the chips were inedible and so hard. We requested red salsa that was more like hot sauce. The salsa that accommodated the chips turned put to be salsa Verde and mayo, not our favorite. So when we were asked, we requested a salsa verde option which was the best choice overall. The $2+ cost for endless chips was worth it for me. Hubby requested the shrimp fajitas and I ordered the shrimp Mexicana platter. Good portion sizes even if flavors were not that complex. Homemade corn tortillas were very good. Overall, an enjoyable meal. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Love this place!! Carlos and his staff are top notch and the food is AMAZING!! Go for the specials!!

I saw a post about this restaurant on one of the local Facebook pages, and the pictures looked so good I had to give it a try. We went for lunch on a Monday and sat outside on their adorable patio. It's located next to a specialty grocery store with a not-so-great parking lot, but once you step into the patio area, you'd never know -- it's quiet and charming! We started with the chips and cheese dip, and the chips were perfectly flaky and well-seasoned. For lunch, we ordered the supreme tacos, which came loaded with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and avocado. The chorizo and chicken were both tasty, but the steak was absolutely amazing -- so tender and flavorful! The margaritas were another highlight. We tried the house margarita, and it was made with super fresh ingredients and had just the right balance. Overall, everything was delicious, and we'll definitely be back! read more

The food was so good! I highly recommend the pastor and the chips were perfect! Service was efficient and quick! I love the vibes of the place, thanks for the great experience! read more

This is literally the best Mexican food I have ever had. We had cheese dip with their amazing chips, quesa barilla tacos and enchilada verdes. Everything was delicious. They cook everything in beef tallow and it's all made in house. I will be back. read more

I have been there several times and really enjoyed the food. However, the last time I was there I had the Chicken Enchilada and became violently ill one hour later. Regrettably I can't take another chance on the restaurant. Was very happy the first two times, not now. read more

We absolutely loved, loved this Mexican restaurant which is walking distance from our new home. Very happy about that feature!! Took our daughter and son-in-law whom is always looking for the best Mexican food. Well he was very, very happy eating at Savory!! He couldn't stop saying how delicious everything was. Our margaritas were spot on, not boozy and packed with a well balanced of Tequila and mix. The chips were the "bomb" fried with the tallow they have from making their brisket...delicious! They chips do not come with salsa but we ordered guacamole. The serving size is small, enough for maybe two people who don't over indulge in it. We ordered two orders because we love fresh made guacamole. I did ask if they had some salsa which they were kind to bring me two small cups of tomatillo salsa which was not hot and had a little flavor. And their red sauce which was incredibly hot. Even I who usually can handle heat could not. The rice and beans on our plates were cooked to perfection. The rice nice and moist with a small amount of veggies. The beans just like my Mexican grandmother made them who was an excellent cook. All our food was delicious. Carlos, the owner brought us samples of their pork (just melted in your mouth and packed with flavor), Poblano chili rice (Carlos told us they usually make 4 or 5 different rices daily) and a Cabernet wine (plain and one with a smoked glass). Carlos informed us he carries only the best Tequila also excellent wine choices and their food is freshly made daily. Of course we were asked if we wanted dessert and usually say "no" but of course we had to try it. Warm churros with ice cream- oh to die for. Glad we didn't refuse. Also had the churros with rice pudding and cake which was dense and delicious. Ellie, Carlos's wife was delightful and very sweet who came to talk with us. Our dinner was delicious, delightful, and we left very content, full and super happy to have found a great Mexican restaurant. The restaurant is somewhat small on this inside but can accommodate larger families/groups. There is an outdoor, covered eating area. Parking is shared with the next door Mexican grocery store. Kind of tucked back on Dahlonega so if you are not familiar with the area, chance of passing the parking lot entrance They do have men's and women's separate restrooms which are nice and clean. Definitely worth the visit and I'm sure you'll return! read more

Service was great and the best tortilla chips I've had at any Mexican restaurant in the area. Was told they use tallow and lard. Had a horchata and it was delicious. The steak fajita was really good. I had the chicken enchilada verde and it was as good as any Mexican restaurant in the area. Homemade beans were delicious. Everything was fresh. Glad we came here as the parking lot was a bit sketch but will be back. read more

Omg our new FAVORITE Mexican restaurant!! Their chips and queso are to dieee for. They make most of their stuff homemade and let me tell you - there is such a difference! This is our go to spot now!! We ordered steak tacos, steak fajitas, and they even put together a chicken, rice, and cheese bowl for my daughter. SO GOOD!! read more

Such a great little find. Authentic Mexican food, full of flavor and clearly made with care. The menu has a nice variety, and the daily specials are worth checking out. Friendly service and a relaxed, no-frills atmosphere. A bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth it. Everybody loves Savory latinos and gringos read more

Carlos is always amazing. Quesabitria tacos are the schnit. This is the place to brings people if you want to show them the best of Forsyth.

Five stars is not enough for this place. On my top 10 of all time favorite restaurants.....after only one visit! Our experience started with a very warm greeting from Carlos and his staff. Our first time and we started with a bowl of the guac with fresh made chips. I always order an extra hot sauce on the side with sour cream. Both were to die for! Excellent bei Tons good! The sour cream was real cream I ordered a dish not on most Mexican menus called parrilladas..fantastic. All meat dish...kind of like fajitas but better. Even the refried beans were better than anywhere else. Not your typical Mexican restaurant at all...more variety and flavors. The chef has delivered way above the standard Mexican dish flavors. Carlos and family will take great care of you! read more

The owner came out and presented the specials to us. Such a nice person and so welcoming. The food was amazing and his knowledge of tequilas impressive. So happy we stopped in here. It will be our go-to place from now on Les recomiendo esta lugar a mis amigos que no quieren comer lo que aquí llaman " comida mexicana"normalmente. Este lugar es más auténtico y el dueño es muy amable. P s. I love that they use beef tallow for cooking! read more

Without a shadow of a doubt the best Mexican food I've ever had! The food looks exactly like the menu pics. Everything is so delicious and fresh! The chips and cheese are incredible.

Thank you! read more

We went to Savory for the first time last night and I will guarantee we will be back. A gentleman, that I believe to be the owner, came over and told us about the restaurant and how they make things. They really put pride in everything they make. The chips made in beef tallow are so so good. Their homemade corn tortillas are so soft that you may have trouble believing they're corn. Their chorizo is well spiced and delicious. I normally get water everywhere I go, but I got a horchata and it was amazing. Probably the best horchata I've had. The price is amazing too. From the outside you wouldn't expect it to be as nice as it is on the inside but it's cozy and has a decent amount of seating. read more

Their flavors sing in your mouth. That's just awesome! They are essentially chemical free so I can actually eat there and not be food hungover for couple days which happens when I eat out elsewhere. That's awesome! I had given up hope of ever being able to eat out at restaurants the day I walked in there. I was so so wonderfully pleased and relieved. I indulge myself here every week. Thank You Carlos and crew. read more

This place was everything the reviews said it was! The homemade chips and cheese dip have to be ordered separately (which I didn't know) but when I inquired about them the owner insisted on giving them to us - totally surprised but would have gladly paid for them they were the best I've ever had. I had the garlic shrimp - excellent service and great food at a great price ! We will be back. read more

My friends and I came to this small business family owned Mexican restaurant after we came back from a long day at lake Lanier. The restaurant was next to a supermarket and there's plenty of parking. It was definitely a hole in the wall restaurant which you know will be good! We were greeted by a server when we came in and was told we can sit anywhere. She later came back and asked if it was our first time there and we told her yes. We were given free guac and chips since it was our first time which I thought that was so nice. The server told us the daily special and two of my friends got one of the special, quesabirria, and I ordered bistec a la mexicana. Everything was so good and authentic! The owner, Carlos, came out to greet us and offered us to try some of the fresh drinks they had. He took his time to talk with us and told us more about his business journey. He was so nice to offer us a couple more small stuff to try from the menu. We have never had such a nice and inviting experience at a restaurant like this before. He took his time to explain each of the different dishes that I never thought to try and will now expand my options and try something new. They have special dishes mainly on weekend but also some of weekday too! Price was reasonable, food was amazing, and service was phenomenal. We had such a great experience and will continue to support their business and share this place to our friends. read more

Savory was an experience! The service was very good. Donny was informative, helpful, and knowledgeable. We had a great experience with his warmth and recommendations choosing our meals. The restaurant atmosphere was family oriented as they were so hospitable. Owner, Carlos was so giving, passionate, and welcoming with general information of his methodology prepping his dishes with care and on top of that, he allowed us some tasty trials which was greatly appreciated. He was so nice to give us interesting stories of his past and present. On the meals, We actually had tacos, tostadas, torta sandwich, brisket tacos, cheese enchilada, and nachos with queso. All the dishes seemed to be made with care and preparation. Served dishes all were served fresh off the line with a sense of freshness. The experience was more hospitable in home like comfort. Will definitely recommend this establishment to anyone who enjoys Mexican cuisine in a comfortable setting. Enjoy yourself there as we did. read more

My first time in--and I'm honestly sad it took me this long, because wow this place is incredible. The food is unbelievably fresh and authentic with amazing flavors in every bite.
