The food is delicious. I'm guessing it is more like authentic Mexican because it definitely tastes different than the other local Mexican restaurants in Villa Rica. The staff is very friendly and accommodating with any requirements you may have. My SIL told me they bought the old China Garden building across from the State Patrol Office, so they will have more room. (West of Hwy 61) I'm not sure how far in the future this will be. As of July 2022, they are still by "The Watering Hole".

The aesthetic of the restaurant is a bit maximalist and stereotypically mexican, but it's still quite charming. Cool chairs, and good music-- the music reminded me of when my family and I used to live in Miami, Florida. Our waitress seemed to like the music too, as I'd overheard our waitress quietly singing to herself as she brought over our food. On that note, I'll get into the service; generally, it was very good. The staff brought out our orders in a timely manner, and refilled our soft drinks when they saw we were running low. Additionally, as my parents were ordering some alcohol, the waitress was sure to warn them about what could get them drunk haha. Really, I have no complaints besides that a very large party of people came into the restaurant around when we were finishing up, which considerably slowed the service. I understand that that's an exceptional circumstance though, and the staff still acknowledged us if we called them over. Finally, the food was very tasty here, and I'd say it was almost better than Los Cowboys-- another Mexican restaurant in Villa Rica. Though, I do have some complaints in this regard... the food gave me abnormally bad digestive issues when compared to other Mexican restaurants. I was on the toilet for a good 30 minutes upon getting home. I did take home leftovers from my meal-- the Tapatio Deluxe-- and those thankfully didn't hurt my stomach though, so the problems I had likely stem from the quantity of food plus the grease. So maybe this place isn't best for somebody with a sensitive stomach (like myself), but I'm sure if you choose more carefully from the menu, you can avoid issues. Attached to this review is a picture of the Tapatio Deluxe I ordered, and as you can see, it's a lot of food. Very yummy (even the spinach, surprisingly), but it was a dangerous gambit for me personally haha.

We were delayed at work and just picked the place for lunch. The decor is a bit loud and so was the music. Service was good. The food was quite good, and didn't break the bank.

Food was great. However, after waiting a while, I finally had to find someone so that I could pay. ( No, it was not busy)
