Restaurant review: this unique eatery offers a wide variety of palate pleasing flavors.
As the only restaurant in town to offer vegan and gluten-free menu items, this cafe in the Snellville Oaks shopping center has already gained quite a loyal following. (Never fear, meat lovers - they also have quite an array of carnivorous dishes!) Items on the hot bar and in the deli are preservative- and hormone-free, have no artificial dyes and are typically organic and, when possible, locally sourced. Definitions The items on the hot bar, located at the back of the store, switch out daily.

Every week Patch tells you about a delicious nearby eatery. Check out this week's pick.
Tucked inside a rather unremarkable strip mall off of Centerville Highway is a beloved Mexican dining establishment of many Snellville residents. Serving authentic Mexican cuisine, El Jinete takes your taste buds on a trip south of the border without doing damage to your wallet. The inside of the restaurant is reminiscent of a Mexican cantina with wood paneled booths, warm lighting and the Spanish radio station playing in the background (if you listen closely you can hear the chef singing along from inside the kitchen). El Jinete boasts a rather large menu with appetizers, soups, salads, special dinners, combination plates and "Famous fajitas". The special dinners list includes dishes such as the soft or fried chimichanga, two deep fried …
