Gezzo's Coastal Cantina

I discovered this place via a Living S0cial deal. It was near my workplace, so I figured I'd give it a go. Now I can't stop. Date nights with my wife. Daddy/daughter dates. Or just a change of pace from leftovers for lunch since it's not far away.Always amazing flavor pops and colors. Food is fresh. Nine times out of 10 the service is amazing. Connor was solid tonight. We've had the guy that looks like Neil Brown Jr. a few times as well. Always friendly.The Tempura fish tacos are amazing. It's my wife's go-to. I bounce between that and the rice bowl. The portion sizes are nice and I feel like I'm eating (believe it or not) somewhat healthy Mexican food. It's our go-to joint when I have to scratch the Mexican itch.

10/10 Jamael was our bartender and he was nothing short of amazing. He makes the best spicy margaritas without it being too sweet and offered great recommendations for tacos. The guac and chips were awesome and the chips were very fresh. The tacos were amazing and bursts with flavor. This spot is pretty big and the bar is a little small but it did the job for me and my gal pal for Saturday lunch. They also have an outdoors which is neat. I'll be back!

More like 3.5 starsFirst visit 8/16: I sat on the patio. Pharaoh was my server. Service was attentive, I loved the bright lighting and the food was amaaaaazing. The blue corn muffin portion was insane I lowkey shouldn't have ordered it for just one person I got the taco plate with 2 of the fish tempura tacos. The flavor was awesome and I was mentally planning my next visit already. Second visit 9/13: Excited for the same food I got last time I happily sat at the bar, got free chips and salsa and placed my order. This time I did the taco plate with one fish tempura taco and one cochinita pibil taco. The food took a while to come out and seemed lukewarm. While my tempura taco was as good as remembered the pibil was just ok. My rice was darker than last time and the rice and beans lacked the flavor it had before. The fish tempura taco still has my heart so I'll stick to that in the future.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. I loved the ambiance. Patio dining available. For drinks we had Frosé and hibiscus mai tai. Food we had lamb chorizo wonton tacos, surf n turf burrito and fajitas Alambres. Everything was great! Free parking lot. Happy hour Wednesday- Friday 4-6pm

I would highly recommend this gem! Everything is fresh and locally sourced! The guacamole, salsa, drinks...Everything uber fresh! Loved the lamb empanadas and the lamb wonton taco! CJ the bartender is the best and has great service! The ambiance reminds me of a cantina in Cali, so bright and welcoming. Check them out happy hour Wed-Sat from 4 to 6 and after dark from 8 to close!

Wow, what an unexpectedly exceptional dinning experience. From the expertly crafted cocktails to the large portion, well seasoned food, Gezzo's blew us away. Ambiance is upbeat and casual. Service was unbelievable. We were given free cornbread. The managers came and checked on us several times. Again, an exceptional experience.

Fabulous find! Our server was a star, the queso rocked, the salsa and chips spot on, and a fabulous house margarita.It certainly is on my must return list. My fellow Yelpers swayed me to the shrimp coconut curry bowl. While not your typical cantina fare, it was a great fusion dish.

The place is definitely on the must return to list. We went for a quick dinner at happy hour, and it was totally worth it. The inside is on the smaller side, but they have a great size covered patio to make up for it. We order the chips and guac and it came with salsa. The guac was little on the salty side for me, but still good. Queso was pretty decent, felt like it could have been a bit warmer. For our meal, we opted for the Salmon Tostada, Lamb Chorizo Taco, and the Tater Toks. All was super tasty. Great addition to this part of town!

First off, I have to say I love the interior and the decorations of this restaurant. My friend and I came here on a Friday night to catch up and try this new Latin/West coast fusion restaurant that turned out really good! The presentation for each plate was spot on and so beautifully plated. Natasha was our server and she was super helpful and attentive. Always checking up on us and made sure we had everything we need. Cam who is part owner of this restaurant also came to greet us and tell us more about his restaurant and the story behind it which feel really intimate and personal. I loved that. As far as the food, it was delicious! While waiting for our food, our server brought us complimentary chips and salsa. My favorite was the squash salad. It was light, refreshing, and so flavorful. I also loved the Jerk Chicken. It was huge and a great mix of flavor. Everything was good and we had plenty of food left over for the next day. We messed up by eating too much chips and salsa because the salsa was so good so we had plenty of food left. For parking, there is plenty of free parking. We parked at the wrong side so it took us a while trying to find it. This is honestly a nice spot for a date night too. Will be bringing other friends here again next time.

Maria greeted us at the Gezzo's in Locust Grove, GA and assembled our meals. The meals were delicious. Maria was meticulous in cleanliness which is the expectation of a food service business. The store looked sparkling clean. We will be back. :)
