Aurelio's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Buford

Dined here for the first time with my husband last Tuesday. It was noisy (due to the acoustics) but we were so happy they did not have music blaring. It was very busy but we got seated quickly. The hostess, Viviana, also ended up waiting our table. She was friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was a bit pricey (as many things are these days) but delicious. The guacamole mix and salsa was awesome, some of the best we've ever had! We appreciate that neither was spicy hot, as we don't care for that. They also have a mexicana guacamole which is chunkier & has pico de gallo in it, so I was impressed that they have these options. I had the fried chicken chimichanga and my husband had a combo dish with a chicken tamale, enchiladas & rice & refried beans. Everything was delicious & the refried beans were superb! We also shared a 22 oz. Texas margarita which was a perfect size for sharing. It was good, but we've had better....we lived in TX for 17 years, so we are picky about margaritas. We will be regular patrons as long as Aurelio's continues to provide wonderful food and service. We look forward to our...

Could not be more excited to welcome Aurelio's to the Friendship area! Been waiting so long for an awesome Mexican spot close to us. The location is perfect! Right at the end of the Publix strip mall which allows for a huge patio, the inside is so nicely decorated and it took me way too long to decide what to order because there are so many things I still want to try. We sat outside and it was shaded and lovely, their salsa is beyond delicious, awesome cheese dip, husband got carnitas dinner which is some of the best we have had, I got a SMALL shrimp cocktail, could only finish half! Great portion, super fresh. And I got a chicken Enchilada because, I mean, I need my Enchilada. Service was on point - didn't even wait for a single thing. Can't wait to go back and try all their signature dishes. LOVE IT!! Update: continuing to eat here weekly, try something different every time and always delicious.

We ended up eating here about an hour before they closed. While we did have to wait a little bit on a Thursday night for a table (no more than 5 minutes), we were still sat pretty quickly. I believe that they sat three of us at the same time, because it took a minute for our waitress to come by. Surprised that chips weren't immediately brought out; they didn't come until after our drink order. I had the chorizo queso as an appetizer, and the Aurelio salad. The chorizo is a little greasy for me, but the salad was excellent. I couldn't even finish it and it was loaded with meat and veggies. I did ask for no avocado, and it came out with avocado. But others at the table liked avocado so it all worked out in the end. Would...
