Mercado Emanuel — Restaurant in Augusta

It's been a hot minute since I've eaten Mexican food, and was really craving something as close to authentic as possible. After reading the reviews, I decided to give this establishment a try. I walked into what resembles a convenience store with about a dozen tables. No one greeted me so I found a place to sit. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long for the waitress to take my order. I inquired about a drink, which was not on the menu, I was content with them not carrying it. I then asked for one which is listed and was informed they don't have it either, so on to the 3rd option. I also inquired about receiving chips and salsa, she stated that they don't have salsa.
