So, our server was Charlotte. We went inside and very patient and kind in the beginning, but then noticed that she was taking about 15 minutes to get everything for our table. Then, we noticed that she was chilling at the table in the corner on her phone having a good time while we needed refills and more salsa.We started asking for straws because we were missing a few and for some salsa, and she came back with an attitude and was slamming down the rest of our stuff after that. We asked for our checks after our plate were done for about 15 minutes and that still took a minute and then only gave us one pen (with 6 people at the table.) She also had the audacity to answer phone calls while finishing up our orders. I WOULD Not recommend Charlotte as...

Our server was Laila, and she gave us poor service. We were seated and given menus. We ordered. We waited about 20 minutes for food, which would have been fine if we were ever given chips and salsa. A man brought our food out, and we asked him for chips and salsa because we never received them. He brought them out pretty quickly, and then our waitress finally checked on us for the first time in 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we watched a male server do an awesome job tending to the tables around us. He was checking on his tables multiple times and making conversation. If we ever come back, I hope we get him instead next time. Also, I ordered the carnitas dinner and the meat was super dry and flavorless. Even lime juice...

Honestly the worst restaurant in Statesboro. I have never received such bad customer service at a restaurant. I was sat down for over 35 minutes with out being asked what I wanted to drink or order. Then proceeded to ask for the tab for the chips and salsa that is usually complementary just to leave. The server acting like they were clueless about us even being there while they walked passed us countless times. To add to that , the Hispanic manager as we left ,said “tranquilos” which translates to “ have a good one”, as they also had previously walked through looking at tables if they were being assisted and saw that we were there for a a long time and had not be taken care of. He was the one that sat us...

Holy Moly do NOT sleep on El Jalapeño bebe! i Stan for burria tacos & was so ecstatic to see they had them on the menu! Upon arriving it was confirmed 💪🏾 so i ordered a drink (can't remember now of course but pretty good) & forged on!! The burria tacos were definitely comparable to my favorite contenders & the pricing was fair as well!! i arrived before the late lunch/dinner crowd so all was calm & lovely but after 4ish it got busy 🔥 would definitely be back, my waitress was bomb too ill edit if i find her name

We had a small going away party one evening in May. Although a native of Statesboro, I had never been until then. The food was fantastic! Our order did take a while since it was the dinner rush, but that is understandable. It came out hot and fresh and was tasty! They even went above and beyond by bringing out a cake and presents that we brought in. Everyone had a great time! I will surely be back to try some of the other things on the menu.

This was the absolute worst Mexican food that I've ever had. The crab on the seafood taco salad I had to spit it out because it was so disgusting. The fish tacos were just a grilled piece of some sort of fish put on a tortilla. The rice that you see below is the colour of carrots and I have no idea why . It was bland. The service was good but the food was awful.
