Emilio’s Cantina Mexican Restaurant, Grovetown, Georgia

“Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we had less negativity and more tacos?”

Emilio’s Cantina in Grovetown, Georgia is a hidden gem, located on the lower floor of the Baymont Hotel across from Cracker Barrel. It is conveniently located just off I-20, exit 194, and is an easy 8 miles from Augusta. It is a part of the Baymont Hotel which makes this a great place for people to spend the night. All they have to do is park their car for the night and walk to the restaurant/bar without ever having to leave the hotel. We learned about this place from a good friend of ours, Mike Montgomery who like to sing Karaoke here on the weekends. This is where friends go to congregate, relax, sing, and share great food and drink.

When you walk in you can see that this restaurant has been brightly painted with fun decor on the walls. There is a small bar with seating around it as well as booths and tables. You can seat yourself unless they are really busy. Right after we came in, the waitress came to our table with menus and took our drink order.

The menu is full of great items to eat but Joe and I always stick with ordering our usual since they are made perfectly and are delicious. I order the Pollo Fiesta which is a chicken breast cooked with Mexican sausage served with a cheese sauce. It is so good with a side salad with Guacamole. Joe gets a Poblano which is stuffed with cheese and Chile Rellano’s with ground beef. The food is delicious and flavorful and the margaritas are great.

They offer specials every day and they do 99 cent taco special every Tuesday. Just read their chalk board set out near the entrance to see what the special of the day may be. They have great Mexican food, friendly service, and the prices are reasonable. For those Karaoke lovers, they have Karaoke every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 6 pm to 10 pm. 

This restaurant is located at 461 Park West Drive, Grovetown, Georgia. There typical hours are 11 am – 10 pm seven days a week. Stop by and check them out. They won’t disappoint. We highly recommend this restaurant as it is a comfortable atmosphere, service is excellent, and you will have a great meal. Go and enjoy a meal. Buen Provecho.

Update: Because of the Novel Cornavirus please check with the restaurant to see if they still are open for inside dining or if it is just take out. If you like good Mexican food, stop by or call and order a meal to go. They would surely appreciate your business at this time.

Till next time. Bye for now.
