    First time visit to Taco Guy and really enjoyed it. I had two of the specials - Mexican oysters and a shrimp/scallops cerviche dish. Very inventive and very delicious. I have found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. As for libations, I think they specialize in drinks as opposed to wine. Only 3 wines by the glass. The one I ordered - a Spanish Grenacha - came in a thin can, which took me (sort of a wine guy) by surprise. But, and here's the important point, I enjoyed it and had a second one! So, it's not the quantity but the quality that's important. I'm looking forward to going back again soon.

    We enjoyed our first dining experience there very much. The staff were attentive and nice, the menu has lots of variety, influenced by the different cultures and history, as Georgia was a cross road. The tableware such as wine glass, etc are sophisticated.
