Cabo Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Guntersville

A quaint litte Mexican Restaurant in a strip mall. I received a friendly greeting as I walked in and shown to a table. With only one exception, I don't discuss the seating in an eatery, but it is worth noting the chairs here are fine, but not conducive to hanging around, just hard wood without cushion (the booths were cushioned). As I always do, I request some hot sauce to jazz up the salsa, but never received it, The salsa didn't seem to be bottled, it was quite chunky and ok for a plain-no heat salsa. If you have ever read any of my Mexican restaurant reviews, you know my first meal is always a chimichanga. I ordered the shrimp chimichanga. They were delicious, the perfect blend of cheese, shrimp and bell peppers filled them. The shrimp was grilled to perfection and had a slightly smokey flavor.

Now, you are reading the above and wondering why the four stars and not five. Well, the lack of hot sauce when I requested it there should be a bottle of it on the table with requesting it), no tea refill, and combined with one paper napkin are enough to remove a half star, but I don't have that option. In the waitress's defense, she did check on me, but I didn't complain about the hot...

Great food, really nice staff. The atmosphere inside is really relaxing, and at 2 pm there wasn't many people in the restaurant. Staff tried to help with a milk/cheese free meal and offered to remove any cheese from the order, but I had already picked one. Pollo loco, a sweet pineapple topped grilled chicken was great, could have added a bit more rice and beans to the plate but it was filling.

Got to try the lunch buffet, adding a star. Review for the second visit:

Got there just after they opened and only had to wait a minute or two for the rest of the buffet to be set out. They could add a few more dishes to the buffet but what they had was good. Staff was very friendly, topped up our water and grabbed dirty plates quickly. They need to get fresh tortillas out quicker. But we got there 4 minutes after they opened. I noticed my favorite dish too late but still got some and stuffed myself: "chorizo and eggs" was just right, not too many eggs

Really love this place the atmosphere is great, hasn't been crowded at all when we were there, the staff are always friendly and happy to help.

We'll keep coming back here until things change! Highly...

Pretty standard Mexican joint with slightly above average prices. Friendly staff, typical atmosphere, mediocre food.

In all fairness we did come in about 30 min before closing time (which is something I try to avoid doing having experienced that from the other side) but we were from out of town and really hungry. Being a vegetarian I was excited to see something more than the typical burrito and quesadilla options on the menu so I ordered the slightly overpriced option of steamed veggies (all the good stuff not just peppers and onions) and rice. At Almost $10 I had high expectations... But was really disappointed when the small oval plate arrived and had only a few veggies on a small bed of rice... And there wasn't half the veggies the menu claimed there would be. When I asked the friendly waitress she checked with the kitchen and found out that they were out of some of the produce and substituted beans instead. The yellow and green beans they added did not agree with the dish in my opinion and definitely didn't replace broccoli/cauliflower. I did eat the dish the way it was prepared but thought that the overall value...
