    Great place to meet friends for drinks. I cannot recommend the food as we were served Nacho's where the cheese wasn't even melted it was returned with some melted cheese on the top, uncooked meatballs, was returned, overheated and management didn't charge me for my meal.

    Best pizza. They are well know for their poppers but its defintely not for the faint hearted. We enjoyed the vibe there and the pizza was great

    Very rude manager. Always looking for a reason to argue or seemingly fight. This guy literally tells people who are standing outside smoking that he will throw you out for smoking inside for no reason. The staff needs to stop drinking with patrons and start treating customers like actual customers.

    Price of a draft was a bit high. Food was good, flavors are there. Had a beef fajita, beef was not served in a hot metal pan as stated on the menu, got cold very quickly. Would have been nice if the tortillas were fresh. Once cold they just crumbled. Ring of fire pizza. Very nice. But not spicy hot if that's what you looking for. Hot sauce on the table is not hot either. Best to ask for chopped chillies. Base was nice and thin but gets chewy when is start cooling down.(I know why). If it came on a warm plate it would help aswell.. Service was great...

    Had a really good meal. Chips average but the rest of the meal was really worthwhile. Will be back. Thanks.

  • 5/5 Deàn du P. 1 year ago on Google • 25 reviews
    We get jalapeño poppers at any restaurant that has it, and this restaurant has the best poppers we've ever had. The rest of the food was perfect as well. With balanced flavours. Will definitely eat here again when I'm back in the area.

  • 5/5 Viranchi P. 1 year ago on Google
    As authentic Mexican as you can get in George. Highlight of the place is Julian their star bartender who can stir up some pretty cool drinks !

  • 5/5 Karen R. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff are always welcoming, service is good and they are very helpful. Overtime they know what you drink and eat and will remember you when you come in. Margarita jug is my go to - can finish one or 2😅 of those by myself any day, just wish they were consistent with the tequila 🙈. Pizzas, jalapeño poppers and salads are amazing. Best food, consistent in quality and taste. Atmosphere is relaxed and let go vibes.

  • 3/5 Francois H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is OK. I would go back for drinks and a bite to eat. I would not rush home to tell everyone about the amazing food though. It will do as a nice place to meet and socialize, but would not go back for the food alone.

  • 4/5 Sonja M. 4 years ago on Google
    Really lovely pizzas. Good music. Very enjoyable spot for a night out.

  • 5/5 Gregory G. 4 years ago on Google
    Plenty of space. If it's super busy expect a little wait but well worth it. An excellent pizza selection and pizza quality was amazing too. Smoking indoors so not family friendly (with a baby) but a great atmosphere to kick down and relax after work. I would recommend parking across the road for convenience. Friendly staff. Overall a great spot to relax.

  • 3/5 Niel T. 4 years ago on Google
    Great for drinks and light meals, maybe acceptable for the locals. They weren't prepared for the influx. I need to go there again to see if they can lift their game before giving the thumbs up. One thing, friendly staff. Give it a try and post your opinion to let others know.

  • 5/5 Aleida K. 4 years ago on Google
    Best Pizza I've ever had in my entire life. They are very reasonably priced! The wine doesn't have a very big markup as usually seen in restaurants, so it works out very very cheap. Great warm atmosphere. Unfortunately they don't allow pets, but I would highly recommend this restaurant for a night out with friends.

  • 4/5 elizabeth V. 4 years ago on Google
