Lalito's Mexican Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Johns Creek

Good ambience, great staff but the food needs a lot of work to be acceptable.

Food: We ordered steak quesadilla. It was a small piece of bread with cheese (smallest one I have ever seen), lots of onions and peppers in it with a few pieces of meat (barely any). The meat was not good at all, it was hard, and more of a grilled inedible hard fat than actual meat/ steak to the point that I had to spit out several pieces of the meat since they were not chewable. The guacamole was not fresh, the rice that came with it was cold, old and bland with no flavor. Looked and tasted like a leftover from another plate from several days ago.

Service and pricing: The service was good. Overall, they are very good people working there. But when it comes to their prices and their business practice, I was not a big fan of what they did to my bill. We got two horchatas ($3.75 each). I asked if we can get refill for our horchatas and they said yes. However, I was charged for it again ($3.98). When someone asks for a refill, they mean if it’s free or at a cost. The cheese dip was also very expensive ($5.50 which is too much for a little bit of cheese in a small sauce cup! I honestly thought it was going to be complimentary or maybe 2-3 dollars max).

Atmosphere: Nice restaurant, great location, good staff, beautiful interior, and an...

Beware of this establishment. Decided to eat here for the first time and the waitress over charged me. I ordered the lunch combo which was about $8 I was charged a whopping $22.01..... luckily I checked my receipt before leaving. The waitress acted as if she didn’t know what happened. Once I raised my voice a little she spoke with the owner. The owner said that it was refunded back to my card however he could not furnish a receipt showing the refund. I asked him several times for proof of the corrected transaction and he said no. I was taken back to be informed that he indeed was the owner Eluardo and that he showed such distain towards me due to the fact that I was bringing this to his attention. His lack of customer service skills and overall nonchalant demeanor for charging my card more than TWICE the due amount is just plain unacceptable! Beware when eating at this place. I have NEVER EVER in all my life been to a restaurant that “accidentally” charges my card twice the ticket price. And for the OWNER to not even care is just madness and BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. Don’t even waste your time.... not to add to the fact that the food was TERRIBLE. My quesadilla chicken was alll gummy and not seasoned ..... MAJOR...

My wife and I happened upon this restaurant while we were out and about during lunch! Our lucky find! We were greeted promptly and waited upon very carefully by Adolpho. Adolpho made us feel welcome and all requests were met with a pleasant response. Most importantly, the food (which we would call Tex-Mex) was great. (We are former Texans so we know great Tex-Mex!) We both had different versions of Fajitas and will enjoy again. The chicken and beef had obviously been marinated and seasoned just right as they were tender and tasty. All the trimmings expected with Fajitas were included and equally hot and tasty. Did I mention the hot tortilla chips were delivered hot and fresh? The entire place was immaculately clean (including the bathroom). All staff we met were friendly. Made us feel right at home. Like many others, we will now be regulars. Thank you so much for making us feel like we were back in one of our favorite Tex-Mex...
