“ Food there was excellent....went there on Taco Tuesday and ordered 6 beef tacos......the meat could of used seasoning but other then that it was good. ”
“ All great food, fast service and nice employees. Love coming here for a sit down or take out! ”
“ There are a lot of mixed reviews. My experience is that the food was authentic and very good. It was fresh, hot and tasty. Service was exceptional and friendly. Also inexpensive. It’s not fine dining. ”
“ I rarely give 5 stars, but I like everything about this restaurant. Easy location, lots of tables and outdoor seating as well. The wait staff is always right there with great service. Now, let's talk food! Wow! Loved, loved the food. I have ate at every Mexican place in town and in Blue Ridge. This is the best of both towns. The guacamole isn't just mashed avocados. It is more chunky with tomatoes, onions and cilantro. I had the El Manzanillo Pollo Special. It was perfectly cooked and simply amazing. The portions are large. The drinks are very large also, no need for a refill. Tuesday is taco for 1.00. A must try when in Blairsville. You'll love it too! ”
“ This has become our favorite Mexican Restaurant in town. They have an amazing variety to choose from so I can stick to one of my favorites the "Omar special" it's truly special! Or I can try something fun new. I recently tried their tacos Al Pastor with pineapple and they were delicious, not traditional al pastor but still very tasty. My husband loves seafood and he often gets the Burrito Cancun or if a bigger portion is in order he gets the Fajitas Cancun. The food always comes out hot...and fast. They keep the drinks and Chips & Salsa coming. It's always a great experience! Everyone is super friendly even on a crazy busy night. ”
“ Love getting to eat here. The food is amazing, great portions. The owner us always helpful, and very friendly ”
“ The chips and salsa were perfect...thin, hot, and fresh. The Pollo Loco was fabulous with very tender chicken. First time ever and is now my go-to for Mexican. Check out is a disaster! Only 1 person to check you out and if there is a big takeout or to go order you have to wait until they get it all together. It's the longest wait I've ever experienced at a restaurant like this. That's the reason I took one star away from service ”
“ Stopped here on the way back from Brasstown Bald. A little suspect of its authenticity when I first walked in but was committed to eat so we stuck it out. It was an off hour so there weren’t many customers in the place. The service was just so so and though everything was done correctly and the food came out astonishingly fast, I just felt we didn’t get much attention. Probably just me as I was irritated all day so I’m giving the server good marks. The food was really good. I have to say I had pretty low expectations being it a Mexican place in the hills of Georgia and all but I walked out of there with a whole different view. Nice job El Manzanillo! ”
