This place reminds me of Miami. The fresh squeeze orange juice and the style of cooking is very reminiscent of the Cuban spots in Miami. The tortillas are hand made and soft yet crispy from the griddle. The pastor was marinated well and they stuff their quesadillas and burritos. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a MUST. Will definitely be coming back for the tamales.

My coworkers and I went here for a quick lunch! We've actually ordered it to our office before and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the tamales are! This time I ordered a Red & Green tamale plate. They're very flavorful! The portion sizes are also really good. I didn't feel super full after finishing my plate which I really like. Our food was served really quickly, since it's a quick service/casual place.

Update: it's been a while since we've been here. They have added more items to the menu. They took out the elote which I was sad about. I also feel like tamale size has decreased.

The parking situation is terrible. There is no ample parking since it's next to a gas station. We had to park in the shopping complex next to it, which isn't adjacent to the restaurant building.The restaurant size is spacious. It wasn't busy on a Friday afternoon during lunch. Our food came out quickly, and the cashier was friendly. The drinks are self-serve. The food is average at best. Nothing really "wowed" me. It wasn't terrible, but it also isn't a place I'd come out of my way to visit again.

A friend recommended the tamales here and husband has really been enjoying them; he shared that the rice and beans are also very flavorful. I tried the carne asada tacos and the steak was flavorful. We enjoy their salsa and it's full of heeeeat. You place your order at the counter and staff will bring it to your seat. I believe you clean up yourself but it's a bit unclear. The interior is nicely decorated with plenty of seating. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was full. Parking can be a difficult as it is shared with a bank and BP gas station.

One of the best if not the best tamale place that I have found in northern Atlanta. I love tamales. Ever since my college roommate introduced them to me with her grandmothers tamales from Mexico, it's been impossible to turn back. Now the question is how good are they? These tamales are legit. There's an abuela in the back manning the kitchen. They have both salty and sweet tamales. My favorite is the pork tamale with green sauce.Pork tamale with green sauce.:- Packed and serve the steaming hot.- Generous portion size for a tamale- Not stingy with the meat on the inside.Cons;- noneTwo tamale platter: two tamales served with refried beans and Mexican rice.Pros:- generous portion of sides- Both rice and beans were perfectly flavored.- Definitely a hefty lunch portion if you have two tamales with it.- Able to share, if you wanted to add one of the other items on the menu, such as a torta or quesadilla. Cons:- noneThis place was actually so good, that my parents got it two additional times after I got the first round for them. The tamales actually freeze really well and reheat by steaming. You can steam either in microwave by wrapping a wet paper towel around it, or just steaming in a steamer. I definitely wish I could buy these in bulk. The only thing that would make this absolutely the bomb, and this is more of a personal taste, would be if they had a side of white queso Blanco to dip the tamale in. Definitely stocking up on these most. Definitely coming back.

I'm not into tamales, but this place has the BEST tamales in Suwanee!! and is actually the best that have ever had. I always bring it to my family when I'm in the area. Highly recommend it

Adequate at best. Polite servers who were helpful with their menu. We special ordered a quesadilla and it was fresh, hot and as we ordered itWe also ordered a tamale plate. We ordered 1 rajas and one black bean. The rice was hard, the beans were good and the tamales had no distinctive flavors. I won't drive from Buford Highway to visit again. Sorry.

I always used to eat here when I lived in the area but when I moved to Smyrna, I had to stop. I was so happy when I came back to visit a friend because we stopped by twice today, once for lunch and again for dinner (yes, I had to take advantage of my visit to Suwanee because I missed the food so much.) I ordered the cucumber-lime with chia agua fresca and it is so fresh and good every time. The owner Stacey told me it is made fresh throughout the day using fresh cucumbers and lime (the secret it out) for lunch I got the 5 tamales (green chicken, red pork, and my favorite the cheesy rajas). I devoured every one of them and left no crumbs. For dinner I got the tamale bowl with a green chicken tamale and green pork tamale with the egg over easy. The flavors of the tamale bowl were amazing. From the cabbage to the potatoes bits to the egg on top coupled with pico and queso fresco, and so much more, I truly think this place is underpriced. Don't hate me but I did recommend to the owner to evaluate her pricing because I want to see them here for years to come. Tamales are $3 each and for the quality and taste, it definitely should be about $4 because if you've ever made tamales, you know this takes all day, and I certainly dont even have a half a day to spare. Overall, I'm sad to go back to Smyrna but can't wait to come back again soon. I do have some tea though and I was told that a new location is in the works for the Upper West-Side (not sure if I'm supposed to mention it but I wasn't told not to).
