    Taco Salad
    Charles F.

    While visiting the Americus Georgia area we stopped in to a local Mexican restaurant. Restaurant was clean and inviting. We got our meal to go. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and enjoyed every bite. Also tried a ground beef burrito. Did not enjoy it as much. My wife enjoyed a taco salad with ground beef and our daughter liked her chicken quesadillas as well. All meals were large portions. We look forward to eating in next time.

    This restaurant knows what they're doing! We get jumbo cups for drinks, chorizo is out of this world. The food was hot, flavorful and just what we ordered. For a Friday night, it was certainly the place to be in town. All the servers were busy but did their job well and it was a great night out for a date!

    On a Monday afternoon, Me and my grandparents stopped by, not expecting much. However, this is definitely the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to!! When we first walked in, we were quickly greeted and sat. The inside is a sort of western style, but still elegant. I felt a welcoming presence when we walked in. We quickly got our chips and salsa. The Cheese dip (or queso) is excellent. We ordered and quickly got our food. The 1800 special with only grilled chicken was SO GOOD!! My grandparents loved theirs as well. They said that they have been here 4 or 5 times and they loved each time. This is overall a must-do. I will definitely be returning!!

    Best Margaritas I ever had! Hands down I would def come back when I'm in town for their happy hour. The food was good and for a great price. I loved the complimentary chips and salsa! If your in town this is a great place to stop by for dinner or lunch.

    Wow, what a shock when we went inside this beautiful restaurant! The building from the outside just looks like an old building. When you walk in you immediately notice the interior with its stone and wooden columns, wooden coffered ceiling and mix of wood and stone walls. The hardwood floors are beautiful. Enough with the decor, let's talk about the food and service. The hostess seated us right away. Our server, Luke, came and took our drink order immediately. Chips and salsa were delivered to the table. The chips were thin but not greasy and the salsa was fresh and delicious with just the right amount of heat. Our food came out quickly- we both got the lunch chicken taco salads. They were delicious!! We will definitely come back to eat here again. It was a great experience. Luke was a great server and very attentive.

    Friendly atmosphere, great music and great food. A great place to join some friends in margaritas

    Fried ice cream

    Very busy place. The food was not bad, but not great either. It was very middle of the road flavor and presentation. The waitress was very nice. The fried ice cream was the highpoint of meal. Great presentation and taste.

My husband and I decided to give the restaurant a try on a Thursday evening. We were greeted by an amicable staff and seated immediately. The ambiance was casual and comfortable. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Each table gets chips and salsa. The chips were freshly made and the salsa was tasty, it was slightly spicy which is how I like it. We both ordered margaritas I had a medium strawberry and my husband had a peach. We both enjoyed our drinks. For my entrée I had the shrimp fajitas and my meal was delicious, everything tasted fresh and was prepared just right. My husband had the shrimp Tacos, they were simple but good. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back. Prices are reasonable, portions are large and the restaurant was clean. They have a very nice patio which I hope to try out during warmer weather.

It's right next door to Rescue's and behind Keith-A-Que and pretty much in the same parking lot as Piggly Wiggly (I recommend accessing it from the Piggly Wiggly parking lot). I've ridden by it several times and did not notice it for a long time. I was expecting some dingy hole-in-the-wall, but it was actually a very nice little restaurant. The tables were nice and nothing looked really beat up. It is a small family business and they clearly take pride in what they are doing. They are not open from about 2 PM to 5 PM daily. The chips and salsa was pretty standard fare and better than many Mexican restaurants. I didn't taste any cilantro or anything like that in the salsa. I know some people find it repugnant. The cheese dip was pretty good. I heard that they used to put jalapenos in it. I could only imagine large nacho jalapenos in it and I actually thought that sounded pretty good. I ordered the Chimichanga Dinner (ground beef). It didn't take very long to get my meal and I uploaded a picture of it. It was plated pretty well I think. The chimichanga itself was very good. They certainly spice their beef and it had some heat to it, but it had flavor as well. The shell was crunchy and delicious and the Mexican rice underneath paired well with the meat. Some people may want to have some extra sour cream with their meal to counter the extra heat. The guacamole was pretty standard and reminded me of other restaurants. The guacamole was not the best I've ever had, but it was still good. The beans didn't really feel like they were good for the meal, but I'm not a huge refried bean fan and never find them impressive. I would have much rather had more rice and more guacamole salad. The service was excellent, quick and friendly.

There was an extremely sweet girl there with her adorable baby who helped me. She said her parents were the owners- she told the waitress what I wanted.

It's a clever (or perhaps just pragmatic) setup; that market itself is a gem, stocked with an impressive array of authentic Spanish and Mexican goods. We'll definitely return for provisions alone. Inside the dining room, the space is spotless if somewhat dated--simple, no-frills decor that prioritizes function over flair. Our server was cheerful and energetic, a bright presence, though service proved inconsistent; she largely vanished after taking our order, leaving us to wait an inexplicable 30-plus minutes for food despite only two other tables occupied. When plates finally arrived, the portions were strikingly generous, almost comically so for the price point. We began with the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa carried decent freshness and a mild kick, but it wanted for seasoning--more salt, a bolder hit of garlic and cumin would have elevated it from passable to memorable. No refills appeared, which felt stingy given the "free" promise. The horchata, however, shone: creamy, deeply flavored with cinnamon and vanilla notes, refreshingly cool and well-balanced--one of the better versions I've encountered recently. The carnitas dinner plate delivered on volume: a mountain of moist, crisped pork that had all the textural appeal one hopes for--tender interior, satisfying crunch on the edges--yet it arrived curiously underseasoned, lacking the salty, savory depth that should define the dish. Homemade refried beans were a highlight: smooth, flavorful, clearly made in-house with real care. The Mexican rice held good seasoning too, though it verged on dry. Steak fajitas followed the same pattern--giant heaps tender strips of beef and soft, well-cooked vegetables in generous heaps, but again, flavor felt muted, as if the seasoning hand had been unusually light. It's puzzling: everything executed competently, meats tender, produce fresh, yet the palate kept searching for that missing punch of spice, acid, or salt. No where else in COLGA gives this much steak, so very grateful. The shrimp cocktail appetizer (small portion) justified its price through quality ingredients--clean, plump shrimp in a classic tomato-based sauce--but it was straightforward, nothing transcendent. The queso fundido with chorizo fared far better: authentic, house-made chorizo with real spice and depth, melded into creamy, stretchy queso that felt genuinely homemade and deeply satisfying. Desserts redeemed much of the meal. The tres leches cake was textbook--moist without being soggy, richly soaked in the three milks, properly sweet and authentic in texture. The chocoflan, though, was the standout: flawless layering, silky flan with just the right caramel note, dense chocolate cake beneath, executed with evident skill and genuine flavor. In the end, this place offers undeniable value through abundance and some authentic touches (those beans, the queso, the desserts), alongside a market worth the trip alone. But the persistent lack of seasoning across the savory dishes left the experience feeling curiously flat. It's hard to muster enthusiasm for a return meal when so much potential goes unseasoned. Still, another visit to explore different menu items isn't out of the question--perhaps the kitchen's bolder preparations will hit the mark. For now, it's a solid neighborhood option for quantity and certain homemade elements, but one that needs more confidence behind the seasoning to truly impress.
