Tex-Mex

Johns Creek

About the restaurant

Superica
– “where sunshine spends the winter” – also known as Tex-Mex cuisine served in an Old-West-inspired atmosphere alongside music inspired by Austin.

The cuisine is a combination of 1950s Tex-Mex and the wood grill that has taken the food to another level by way of fajitas and more. An “evolved Tex-Mex menu,” includes the classics: tacos, nachos, tamales and enchiladas plus more intricate dishes such as wood-grilled fajitas and shrimp tacos always served with just-made flour tortillas, all while paying homage to the traditions and recipes that have been a part of the Texas culture for decades.

Miranda, our server, was excellent. The food was great. The beignets were amazing and we ordered shrimp & grits: the bourbon sauce it comes with was crazy good. Really enjoyed & recommended to others!

Food was great, overall great atmosphere. However the live music is too loud and even though we were seated further away we couldn’t hear each other talk and honestly at times took away from what we wanted to get out of our nice dinner out. Service was good but slow especially for a Wednesday evening
