El Centinela Mexican Restaurant: Authentic Mexican Flavors in Winder, GA

The food was fantastic. A huge portion, that lasted 2 days. The Margarita was enormous. Outstanding service. I will go back many more times

This is a great place with a great staff it's like a cool Oasis of smoochy. The drinks are good the girls are great. They have something new on the menu which is close to my heart. Beef liver with rice and beans.

Stopped in after a doctors appointment and there were not that many people. Although the hostess was a bit serious our waiter was amazing! He was very polite and helpful. My husband had the costillas plate and I had the mole ranchero with a side of beans. We both had agua de Jamaica and then we were also given a spicy salsa. Everything was delicious and fresh. The service was amazing. Will definitely be returning.

Wonderful place! My preggo cravings wanted a particular dish a certain way and when it didn’t come out right the first time, the owner took it upon himself to make it for me and better! He even brought out an extra quesadilla because my son had thrown his on the floor. Staff is amazing and very kind and just want to make sure you enjoy what your are eating and go out of their way to make you happy. We will be back and with more family! Thank you for the wonderful experience it means a lot!

The chips and salsa are great. The tacos are delicious and BIG. The fountain drinks are on pointtttttt. AND the decor is amazing. Lazaro was our server and he was great, very attentive and fast. Can easily recommend! Will be back soon!

11/11/25: More pics added. Still great food and friendly service with reasonable prices. +++++++++++++++ Another hungry trip to La Cent doesn't disappoint! Ice cold brews, great staff, reasonable pricing, good portions and great food....will return time and time again. Tacos are a must and the nachos texanos is amazing. We've been enjoying 'La Cent' (or 'El Cent' for those who remember) for over 10 years. Good atmosphere with plenty of seating (booths and tables), fully stocked bar and TVs throughout the restaurant. Great music is usually playing to get the Mexican vibes flowing...Food is reasonably priced, large portions and seasoned well. We've had multiple meals from the menu and over all the times we've gone, maybe one or two meals weren't 'up to par'.....not a bad track record!! Fingers crossed we'll be going back for another 10years!!

This is personally my favorite Mexican restaurant in Winder-they actually hand make the corn tortillas so they are thick and yummy and sweet and chewy and don't fall apart like the store bought ones.

Incredible and very accommodating staff. My family has a family dinner night here 2-3x per month where all of my siblings and their families, parents and their spouses, cousins, etc. all come together to spend time with family. Food is delicious. Margaritas are amazing. Staff is above and beyond.
