  Found this place using Yelp while traveling back to Atlanta. It sits off an access road to 75 in McDonough. Traffic was really heavy so figured taking a pit stop made sense.
  
  It seemed like a fairly normal Mexican place when I walked in. Nothing stood out to me. I headed to the bar to grab some food. The bartender was nice, although she mostly spoke Spanish to her co-workers coming up to the bar.
  
  I started off with a medium sized margarita and they brought chips and salsa over. The margarita was just ok (semi strong, lacking on flavor) and the salsa was surprisingly bland. No kick, no flavor. Big bummer.
  
  I ordered the street tacos with fish and asked for no charro beans (only eating fish currently). It came out as requested except they did include the charro beans. The tacos were good, no complaints there and the salsa verde was a tad spicier than my salsa.
  
  Overall, it was an ok stop. If you're looking for average, this place will fit your need there. Also, be careful walking to the front from the bar, big step down that seemed like two steps should be there.

  went in on a whim with the wife   Always had super food and super service.  Not the case on this occasion.  Got a combo plate that included a chile relleno as did the wife.  Mine was half the size of hers and looked like someone had chewed it already.  I questioned it and was told, in not very nice terms that they are premade and I was stuck with it   I was offered a substitute for it which I declined   I wanted the rellenos I am used to getting.

  I had an amazing time at Mesquite last weekend. Our server Alejandro was great and the good was well priced and full of flavor. Alejandro was quick, friendly, and did a good job dealing with our large group full of picky eaters.
  
  The margarita was great and well priced.
  
  Everything we good and they give you a lot of food.
  
  I would definitely recommend others to stop by.

  CHECK YOUR BILL!!!
  
  I have frequent this restaurant for about a year now.  The food is very good.  There were 2 of us there for dinner and service and food was very good. When the bill came, I noticed the waitress has already calculated her tip on the receipt and has added to the bill.   Not sure if she put the tip down since I am not Caucasian and thought I wouldn't tip her. I worked as a waiter before and do not think this is appropriate since there's only 2 of us and not a party of 6 or more. I will think twice before I go back.

  Man. I don't even know where to start. Management has changed. I spoke with him on the phone this afternoon after my experience. No apology was given, just a bunch of irrational explanations of the reasons why they charge for to go items. I called in an order for myself and a coworker. When I arrived the food was already packaged and on the counter already. I was 5 minutes early so I thought this either a good thing or a bad thing. When I went to hand the woman my card to pay I also asked for one more salsa. She said it would be extra. "Why? I asked. It's free if I stay and dine. Then she proceeds to tell me that if I separate my orders, meaning swipe my card twice, then she can give me an extra salsa. Not only cannot I not even conceive to understand the correlation between the two I explained to her that, that it only hurts them because they pay credit card service fees to even be able to accept the payments. She mumbled some more about it and I said forget it just swipe my card as one order. When I get back to the office, which is only 5 minutes away we open our boxes and the food is ice cold and stiff. Like it's been sitting out and prepared for over well over 30-35 minutes.
  I couldn't help but call and ask to speak to the manager.  He said not only will they charge for to go salsa with a to go order but now (hence under new management) they will charge you if you have dined in the building!!!! I said so, if I just ate a full meal at a table, paid and am leaving but I stop and ask for a salsa or a to go cup will you bring me a new check for .25 for that too? YES. He says. Unbelievable.
  There are a million Mexican Restaurants to choose over this one. I will not be returning here ever again.
