Derekup wrote about La Salsa Mexican Restaurant
Perhaps the best guacamole in Douglasville and the Tuesday night $4.99 combination dinners are fabulous. My favorite is the taco, enchilada, and burrito. Every table also gets the free basket of chips. I try to go every Tuesday for the special and am dying to try the Thursday night $6.99 fajita special.
Megan_St_James wrote about No Mas! Cantina
In a city rich with so-called Mexican restaurants, No Mas! Cantina and Hacienda stands out as a true diamond in the rough. Owners, Walt Bilinski and Steve MacNeil, envisioned bringing the best of Mexico to ATL through art, food, and fun. This oasis provides a quick escape to South of the border without having to go through airport security. The Hacienda is breathtaking with its unique offerings from over 300 talented Mexican artisans. Then of course there is the Cantina with its Mexican-inspired foods prepared by self-learned executive chef, Señorita Melody Voirin. There is no mass production here; even the chips and salsa are made fresh throughout the day. The smoky chipotle-flavored salsa is the perfect partner with the robust taste of the smooth Dulce Margarita-with Partida Blanco Tequila, fresh limejuice, and Agave nectar. Each handmade glass is adorned with a bracelet, a good way to keep count. It was a three-bracelet night To get things going, the warm flavors of the pureed Butternut Squash soup in a house-made chicken stock are simply divine. As the last slurp disappeared, Cajy, our knowledgable server, delivered the awesome Calamari Frito con Jalapeños. These flash fried treats match perfectly with the chipotle ranch and avocado cream sauces. Dip the jalapeño in the mouth-cooling avocado cream and the calamari in the tangy chipotle ranch and let your taste buds go on a roller coater ride. The multi-faceted chicken Quesadilla Roja is not like any other in the city. Melody showcases her skills through this dish. The chicken, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes dance with tangy tropical flavors from the mango, pineapple, cilantro, onion, and jalapeño salsa. This is way too good. When I thought the quesadilla was the best ever, out came the otherworldly Tilapia Fish Taco. The Tilapia is lightly coated in a seasoned masa breading, flash fried in order to retain all its deliciousness, then topped with a jicama coleslaw and creamy chipotle sauce and wrapped in a freshly made tortilla- unbelievable. As for the house specialties, the Camarones Alambres, perfectly grilled jumbo shrimp on a sugar cane skewer resting on top a masa cake with sweet fried plantains touched with an exotic tamarind sauce is a treat not to be missed. One of Melody’s favorites, and mine as well, is the Pollo Relleno, after this you will never have a Chili Relleno again. The 24-hour marinated, grilled chicken breast is stuffed with rajas poblano pepper, Chihuahua cheese, and drizzled with salsa verde, served with cilantro-mashed potatoes is melt in your mouth good. To satisfy that carnivore craving, the savory Bistek Café Tamarindo- a skirt steak marinated with a coffee rub, spices, and tamarind with roasted acorn squash puree and seasonal vegetables, each bite seemed to be better than the last. When you get that “got to get away” feeling and you just can’t, No Mas! Cantina and Hacienda is waiting to give you that escape to Mexico at least for a while.

crunkatlanta wrote about Marco's Pita
Being in business for over 16 years . There is something to say about a businessman doing it in Atlanta. He must be doing something right . The food is the talk on friends lips and seeing the people being happy after leaving . That speaks of excellent customer service and satisfaction . Marcos Pita is located in Midtown on Ponce. Take my word for it and stop by and say - " Crunkatlanta recommended this " , you will be happy as well. Crunkatlanta

nikkib35 wrote about Lodge At Windy Acres
We just got back from staying overnight and I must say I was a bit leary finding it on line, however was I very pleasantly surprised. I just lost my grandmother back in May of this year and I felt like I had just walked back into her house. This is a gorgeous home with very open floor plan it has a huge living room/dining room. My fiance and I were there with another couple and we wound up waking before them and went out into the large living room sat down on the couch and began watching t.v. it was so beautiful watching the sunrise behind Yonah Mountain and it made it even more beautiful having the Christmas tree up and decorated. This place is so full of character and charm, I recommend for a stress reliever! Ms. Betty has done a great job of this place , we will definitely go back.

ShondaBee wrote about Anderson Diner
I went to Anderson's today. The girl who fixed my plate was very friendly and polite. I have noticed that the staff has been told to put the very minimum on plates and I have noticed a skimpy portion of vegetables. So of course the vegetables were skimped, but she started fixing my meat and put what I felt was ample and worth my $10. This guy, then comes over to her and whispers in her ear that she put too much food on my plate and that the manager would say something to her if he saw that. I could not believe what I was hearing, I have seen this guy plenty of times before and I noticed that he would always whisper something in the server's ear, but I never knew what until now. I was insulted and will not be eating there again. They are penny pinchers.

We wen to celebrate my friends bday and boy did we have a time: we got there early so we wouldnt have to pay the 10 cover charge. When we got there, i was surprise to see alot of people there. I am n my 40's and the crowd was around the same age, 30+. The music was off the chain, i think i dance almost the whole night. You coulndt move around that place beacause there were so many people . Micheal Cooper from Con funk-shun was performing that night. he was ok : the sound system while he was singing was a little to load for me. I love it. the dj was off the chian: he kept us dancen the whole night. The only thing i didnt like was that they do allow smoking in this club, i really didnt get a chance to eat the food cuz i was dancn the whole night< but other then that, i will definitly go back. i Wish i didnt live so far away. dm Gwinnett

bpate wrote about Mandarin House Chinese Restaurant
We used to call Mandarin House regularly for take out. While it's a bit pricey for Chinese, it was convenient. Tonight was the last time -- my husband called and ordered dinner and it took more than 2 hours to arrive. And it was cold. When I called to complain the woman was arguing with me and beligerant. She was not at all interesting in making a happy customer. In fact, her response was, "Just don't order here anymore." I won't. The food is decent, but overpriced and the service and attitude is lousy.
someone wrote about Venti Italian Bistro
I've been there several time to eat in and take out and every time the service has been awful. One server in general is very rude and never gets the orders correct and always screws up the bill. We waited more time on the corrections of the bills than we did eating. Managers are ok and the younger ladies serving work very hard but the older man is hurting the business. I only recommend it if you like drama.
