The service was quick & friendly, and the breakfast plate and burrito were great! Glad we found this authentic, casual spot to get breakfast (served all day) while we staying at Lake Lanier nearby.

This place has the best tacos in the Atlanta area. The carnitas is my favorite, but I never sleep on the chicken.

This place is legit. We really enjoyed ourselves. It's out for the way, but I'll make sure to stop by when I'm in the area.

Food is consistently good but portions have shrunk considerably and prices have skyrocketed. No complementary chips or salsas. Bare bones with increasing prices and shrinking portions

probably the best mexican food your gonna get in the suwanee-buford area. tacos and quesadillas are always great. if you're looking for a fancy mexican place this is not it but if you're looking for a casual mexican place that's blue collar approved this is the spot for you! never leave unsatisfied. i always get 3 tacos for like $8 which $8 lunch is unheard of! food service comes out super fast. the seating isn't the greatest but food makes up for it.

The food hit the spot for us. It was quick & clean. The place was busy. They do a lot of take outs & many locals come here. Their rice & beans were fantastic. Everything on the plate balanced very well together. Would definitely come back!! We also got honeydew aqua Fresca everything came to a total of $26. Really worth it!

Delicious. Hubby & I were craving breakfast burritos - this place nailed it! Everyone was kind, friendly, checked on us constantly. They have an option to add rice & beans for an extra $1. One of the few places I found that does more than egg & meat in the burrito. Booths were cute & it's a cute spot. Doesn't look like much from the gas station parking lot but it's worth a visit ! We will be back!

Best burritos I've had in a long time!! Simple but damn good!! My coworker and I tried this place during our lunch break while working from our company's R&D lab. Found this place on yelp and saw that it wasn't that far. My coworker who was visiting from Mexico complied that we should give it a try. She got the carne asada taco lunch special and I got the burrito special. Not long after we ordered we got our plates and chowed down. My coworker loved the food and the place is very authentic. I can't wait to go again!! I think every time I come up here I'll need to stop by. Forget Taco Bell ... get ya some Taco Jalisco! Yum yum get ya some.

This spot was everything I hoped it would be. I added this stop to my bookmarks when I saw the high Yelp ratings. Yelp Community, you did not disappoint on this one! This is an easy to find spot in Buford. It's attached to a convenience store/gas station and laundromat. Every time I have been, parking has been full on the restaurant side, but I've been lucky parking at the laundromat on the other side of the store (hope that's ok - they usually have lots of spots). When I have visited (always on weekend mornings for breakfast), the small restaurant has always had lots of patrons, but we have been able to get a seat right away. Service is quick and super friendly. Scan a QR code for the menu or check out items posted above the counter. They seem to do a brisk take-out business, judging from the constant, fast-moving line at the counter. Every time I go, I get a breakfast platter with eggs and veggies with beans and rice. The tortillas are perfection. And the eggs with jalapenos and added spicy salsas wake me up and get me ready for the day. And I am never disappointed with refried and beans and rice. The last time I visited, I noticed every single table around me ordered the menudo, so I think I have to break out of my routine and order it next time. Thanks for the introduction to this new fave! Excited to try lunch or dinner and the menudo soon!

Initially this place looked sus because it's near a gas station. When I opened the container the presentation was horrible, but let me tell you DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD I EVER TASTED. This place is a small mom and pop restaurant. It's fresh authentic Mexican food. Initially I was upset I only got 2 pieces of quesadilla, but I was fully with just the 2. When you walk in the restaurant you can just smell the aroma. The beans was salty but the rice balances it out the chicken was so flavorful. They're salsa verde sauce isn't really spice Def try this place out guys !
