Review

With about half a dozen outlets scattered around Savannah, this Mexican specialties cantina could fall victim to the chain restaurant curse, where quality goes downhill as the number of outlets goes up.  Luckily that’s not the case with really good food and fantastic margaritas at reasonable prices.

The menu is extensive, with apps including a bunch of different nacho varieties; soups and salads; burritos; enchiladas; fajitas; quesadillas; Mexican entrees… the list goes on and on.  A favorite includes the fajita quesadilla, stuffed with everything you love about fajitas in a cheesy tortilla.

All of it is fairly standard Mexican restaurant fare, but that can be a good thing when you’re on the go and don’t want to go too far outside the box with more adventurous eats.

 Plus, the bill at the end of the meal is going to be a comfort as well.  Most things on the menu are within a few bucks of $10 either way so you can get a lot for very little.
