Since there's
Giovanni's in Austell, I was hoping to find more hidden gems around Austell. I saw Joe's Mexicana Grill and hoped it was some awesome Mexican place that no one heard of. But was it?

| That sign looks very familiar. |
When we walked in, it looked like a standard burrito joint—kinda like Moe's, Willy's or Chipotle. I didn't mind. I like burrito places. I hoped it was another alternative to the big three chain burrito places. Was it? Nope. It was basically Willy's.
The strange thing was, it looked like Willy's from the past. Their menu was simpler, like the old Willy's. All their ingredients, from their vegetables, meat, and even their tortilla looked like Willy's. Then I made the connection. Willy's is called Willy's Mexicana Grill. This place is called Joe's Mexicana Grill. So is Joe Willy's brother or something?
That's too bad. I don't really like Willy's. If they were to copy a burrito joint, they should've copied my favorite: Chipotle.

They did have something original: Their mucho hot sauce. It did taste hot. But this wasn't enough to distinguish itself from Willy's.

There aren't any burrito places I know of in Austell. So I guess this is probably the only place you have if you're in Austell. In conclusion, this place is Willy's. And I'm not a fan of Willy's. Mr. Kitty gives this place 2.5 paws up.
