    Very aesthetic. I only go when I'm really hungry because the servings are very, very large.

    Good authentic Mexican food. My only complaint and the reason I don't eat here is that there's not enough tables to seat customers standing in line at the front door. If you only have an hour for lunch this presents a problem. They need to expand or find a larger location.

    Always Great food and service every time we go! The wife is a street taco expert and says they are the best in town.

    What a gem in Dublin. You know I like to find good food wherever I am. La Joya's customer service and food was excellent. As soon as we sat down the server brought out fresh chips and salsa. We ordered and were surprised how fast our food came out. I ordered the carnitas, my hubby ordered the bistec Mexicana and our kids ordered kids meals. I also ordered the hibiscus tea, which is delicious. It's a small place but the dining area is cozy. Great service, great food, and great prices. If you like Mexican food, try this place.

    Service is polite and friendly. Food is wonderful. Don't understand why it still seems like a well kept secret.

    I've reviewed this place before, & back because it's hard to find Mexican restaurants with fresh toppings in Dublin. Many have not reopened after COVID and that's unfortunate! For some reason when I'm feeling under the weather it's always the Mexican soup that heals whatever is ailing me at that moment! So I tried the shrimp soup and I will give it 4 out of 5 stars... It was piping hot and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. It lacked other veggies and only came with overcooked onions and carrots. It came with a red and green sauce and they are very spicy! I tried 2 of the supreme tacos: Marinated beef & Pastor The marinated beef was 4 out of 5 stars: the beef was tender, but lack favor. The Pastor was the star: 5 out 5 stars the meat was filled with flavor and the pineapple added the perfect taste of sweetness. I only wish they provided a salsa with the tacos, but we do travel with hot sauce in a bag!

    Excellent Mexican cuisine. Friendly staff. Fast service. Warm family atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Be advised that this family run eatery is closed on weekends. My favorite Dublin GA Mexican place.

    Hole in the wall, fresh, absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican food! And it's in a little strip mall in Dublin, GA... I'm 5'2" and petite, but I'm pretty sure I are my weight in food tonight! After reading the previous reviews, I wanted to try everything on the menu, so I ordered way too much. The pollo la chipotle is incredible! (This is my new go to)! The beans were a little soupy, but had a great flavor. I'm not a big rice fan, but the pink rice is pretty tasty. The burrito supreme is HUGE, and yummy. (I got it with the beef). The homemade chips are thick and crunchy, and the cheese dip and complementary salsa (3 kinds), are all fantastic! I also ordered a side of sliced avocado, and the gave me at least one entire avocado, that was perfectly ripe. And unbelievably, it was the cheapest Mexican food I've ever had! Wow! I highly recommend!

    La Joya is a hole-in-the-wall type restaurant that offers good Mexican food in a no-frills type ambiance. It is my opinion that the best Mexican food does come from these humble, mom-and-pop type places and this place offers good food and while the menu doesn't stray far from the usual menu items that you see on the menus of countless Mexican restaurants, they execute these tried-and-true Mexican restaurant favorites. I have traveled a lot for work and still do and I find that Mexican food is probably the most consistent of the non-chain restaurants and cuisines that I have found. So, I have eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants when I travel for work. La Joya is a great find if you find yourself in this part of Georgia and looking for a good Mexican feast. All in all, I would definitely recommend La Joya and I will give it a solid four stars. Give them a try,I do not think that you will be disappointed.
