Beth and I went to this place that is just up the road from out new house. It was a Friday night and there were only about 12 people in the place. Maybe it was because it was known that the service was lousy! At any rate we found out the hard way.

 

With that few people in the place the server still managed to get our order screwed up.

 

It is too bad because I though that the chips and salsa were pretty good. Margaritas, once we got the right order, were OK. I had fish tacos that were good and Beth had a chicken salad that was watery.

 

Won't go back unless we are in dire straights.

 

Service rating is ZERO!

When we arrived Beth was asked if we wanted to sit in the glassed in room. I did not hear the conversation since I was a few feet behind her. We were escorted to a virtually empty glassed in room but were seated at a table for two nowhere near the glass. The room was quite bare and there was a table near us with some rather noisy children. We should have asked to be moved. The server asked for our drink order and since we had not been to this restaurant before we asked if they had half pitchers of Margaritas. The answer was no. So we ordered one 20oz frozen Margarita and two glasses. The order arrived but the Margaritas were not frozen so we sent them back. When they arrived again it was obvious that they had dumped the order into a blender to make them “frozen”.
We ordered the Lobster Poblano Dip which was very good. It is served with 4 warm flour tortillas. Beth ordered the Fish Tacos ($10.99) and I ordered combo Tres (chicken tostada, chile relleno and chalupa $10.99). The food proved to be good but I thought somewhat expensive for a Mexican restaurant. Most meals are $10 and up.

When the bill arrived I found that we had been charged for two 20oz Margaritas at $12 each (overpriced). Beth verified that the glasses that we were served were 20oz.

I’m told this location has a nice roof deck in the summer and that would be the only reason that we might revisit. The values and margaritas at Monterey, Tarahumata (Tara Humata) and Adobo are far superior to this place.

Billed as the best Mexican restaurant in Cumming. Maybe that reviewer thinks it is. We went there because we were told it had “killer” margaritas. Perhaps that person has never had margaritas at Monterey, Tarahumata (Tara Humata) or Adobo. Our server was delightful and the manager (owner) David stopped by to say “Hi”. He asked Beth how she liked the margarita and her response was not too positive. He suggested that she try one on the rocks. I took that to be an offer of a comp drink. When the bill arrived I found out that I was wrong.

As for Cumming, I would suggest Cinco even though we did not have a great experience at that place

We are exploring Mexican restaurants in new locations since our recent move to Milton. If anyone has addition suggestions drop us an email.
