We absolutely loved, loved this Mexican restaurant which is walking distance from our new home. Very happy about that feature!! Took our daughter and son-in-law whom is always looking for the best Mexican food. Well he was very, very happy eating at Savory!! He couldn’t stop saying how delicious everything was. Our margaritas were spot on, not boozy and packed with a well balanced of Tequila and mix. The chips were the “bomb” fried with the tallow they have from making their brisket…delicious! They chips do not come with salsa but we ordered guacamole. The serving size is small, enough for maybe two people who don’t over indulge in it. We ordered two orders because we love fresh made guacamole. I did ask if they had some salsa which they were kind to bring me two small cups of tomatillo salsa which was not hot and had a little flavor. And their red sauce which was incredibly hot. Even I who usually can handle heat could not. The rice and beans on our plates were cooked to perfection. The rice nice and moist with a small amount of veggies. The beans just like my Mexican grandmother made them who was an excellent cook. All our food was delicious. Carlos, the owner brought us samples of their pork (just melted in your mouth and packed with flavor), Poblano chili rice (Carlos told us they usually make 4 or 5 different rices daily) and a Cabernet wine (plain and one with a smoked glass). Carlos informed us he carries only the best Tequila also excellent wine choices and their food is freshly made daily. Of course we were asked if we wanted dessert and usually say “no” but of course we had to try it. Warm churros with ice cream- oh to die for. Glad we didn’t refuse. Also had the churros with rice pudding and cake which was dense and delicious. Ellie, Carlos’s wife was delightful and very sweet who came to talk with us. Our dinner was delicious, delightful, and we left very content, full and super happy to have found a great Mexican restaurant. The restaurant is somewhat small on this inside but can accommodate larger families/groups. There is an outdoor, covered eating area. Parking is shared with the next door Mexican grocery store. Kind of tucked back on Dahlonega so if you are not familiar with the area, chance of passing the parking lot entrance They do have men’s and women’s separate restrooms which are nice and clean. Definitely worth the visit and I’m sure you’ll return!

Great Mexican restaurant. I recommend the tacos. The Tequila is something to try, many versions! Great atmosphere, not loud, comfortable seating.

Absolutely incredible experience at Savory Mexican in Cumming! From the moment we walked in, Ellie greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home and treated us like VIPs.
Carlos took time to share the heart behind their menu — everything is made from scratch, no seed oils, and no hormones in the meats. He even brought us samples of their fresh juices (Hibiscus, Mango, and Horchata — all amazing!) and treated us to their handmade chips and guacamole.
The food? Next level. Mark had the brisket and I had the lamb — both dishes were packed with flavor and prepared perfectly.
The passion Carlos and Ellie have for what they do shines through in every detail, from the food to the hospitality. This place is a true gem. We can’t wait to come back! Wish we had taken more photos of the incredible food!

Best Mexican food I’ve ever tried. Everything is super fresh, cooked to perfection. Even beans as a side dish are perfect and taste delicious. Kinda don’t want to hype too much about it because it will be hard to get there in the future, but they SO WORTH IT.

Original Mexican food NOT Tex-mex. Everything we ordered had a lot of flavor. The owner and Chef Carlos is very passionate about cooking and the service is the best. He came to our table to welcome us and make sure everything was good. The tortillas are homemade! The salsas are so good it’s impossible to choose a favorite one. You won’t go wrong with anything on the menu. First time visiting and will definitely be back more often to try different options. We wish we heard about this place much sooner. Too bad it’s about an hour from us but well worth the drive.

This is hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had—better than even some of the top spots on Buford Highway. The flavors are truly authentic, with the freshest ingredients and absolutely no seed oils used in the kitchen. Their rotating specials keep things exciting, and the food is simply incredible. I had the lamb soup, and it was absolutely amazing—rich, flavorful, and exactly what I needed. My wife had the brisket served in beef tallow fried homemade corn tortillas with a side of au jus dipping sauce which was superb. What made this place even more special was the attention the owner provides to his customers ensuring a perfect dining experience. A must-visit!
