Bella Vista 2 — Restaurant in Conyers

Are you unhappy with your life? Been married, couple of kids, and between helping with homework, team practices 3 days a week, the home is falling apart, and no matter what vacation you take you are still chasing the feeling of that honeymoon in Mexico? Are thirty pounds heavier, starting to bald, and dreading that 59th minute of your lunch hour when you have to start those mental gymnastics in order to force yourself back to work?

Then smile weary traveler. Your endeavor to find what you experienced on your honeymoon in Mexico ends inside Bella Vista II.

The smile from the cashier at the front (who you will henceforth refer to as San Pedro) , the tight aisles between food and the displays of the carniceria, ducking under the fluorescent pastel strands adorning pinatas, and the heady aroma of seasoned steak and pork serve as your pearly gates as you prepare to be transported back to what you never realized you could not live without.

The only hellish torment is that which Dante could never imagine; choosing the perfection that is the Torta al Pastor (with everything on it of course) and sacrificing your beloved Tacos de carne (steak tacos) for another day. You simply cannot go wrong. The marinades are delicious, the seasonings divine, and the collection of ingredients whether tamales, burritos, or quesadillas very well could have been the Mana that fed Moses and his people. And the only way this celestial experience improves is from an imported bottle of Jarritos or a large glass of Horchata (sweet rice milk- trust me, it is amazing).

Slough off whatever ails you and feel life return to your limbs. Ease into the simplicity of a white lawn chair and shiver as the dark, heavy fog of depression melt from the crevices of your mind. You will be surprised how quick a smile will flash across your face.

Come to Bella Vista II if what you need is for your taste buds to dance in delight, if you can stand to be truly satisfied, and if you desire to feel the serendipity of your youth. You will be hard pressed to find a...

The restaurant has some delicious offerings. So it disappoints me that I will not be able to return. Consistency is key. I've patronized this restaurant for a few years now, but today's experience left me feeling disgusted.

I placed my to-go order while in line and attempted to pre-pay since I made it to the register prior to my order coming up. I was told with a smile by the cashier "I do not know what you ordered." and then she proceeded to cash out the next customer. So I stepped to the side.

The white guys that placed their order with the same waitress as I, went to grab a couple drinks and returned to the register with the same objective in mind.. TO PRE-PAY. To my surprise, they were able to pre-pay without any issue.

At this point, I'm standing to the side while I wait on my order, as to not be in the way of waitress traffic. So I had to hop back in the end of the line.

Once again, consistency is key. So when my order was ready, the waitress brought it to me and I happened to have made it to about third in line. The guys that placed their order after me, received their food and were able to leave. I brought the treatment to the cashier's attention, and she lied and said she had placed their order. False.

When I told her that was not true, she just began to apologize.

I came to get lunch on my lunch break; not to spend all day waiting in line and be treated as less of a human being.

You...

After years of hearing how good the food and meat is, I finally went. I ordered a burrito with steak and chicken. The 1st bite was tasty. After that, I found myself pulling chunks of fat and steak that couldn't be chewed from my mouth as I was eating that burrito! Then I felt some hard pieces. Upon inspection, I think it was small squares of dried out chicken, but I'm not sure... I purposely dropped a piece on a plastic table to hear it land, it sounded like a piece of wood. You can't squeeze it because it's so hard! There is literally a disgusting pile of inedible stuff in my napkins from that burrito. I can not finish eating it.

The 1st pic is one of those hard pieces of chicken and the 2nd is one piece unchewable steak. I didn't take a pic of the fat, it looks too disgusting! Mind you, I had to spit out more than I was able to consume. I'm left confused to if this was an isolated bad burrito, or is the meat always...
