“ As a Texan, I certify this restaurant as Exellente. Visited a few times for lunch and dinner and each dish I tried was awesome. Free chips upon seating which are cooked in-house daily and have a good thickness for scooping. Servers are friendly and food comes out fast. ”
“ Went here on a Saturday evening and got seated right away. I got a beer and burrito deluxe plate and it was delicious. My server was really good and kind. My food came out really fast after I ordered it. I'm really impressed with this place and will be coming back. ”
“ My 1st Mexican restaurant in Columbus. Its a small restaurant tucked away that had a pretty big menu. My food was darn good too. Very flavorful food I must say. My margarita was fire too!! I also tried the make your own combo and got the tamale and taco. Tamale was pretty good and big. The service was great, too. I have no compliants and recommend trying them out! I would definitely go again. ”
“ So good, and so fast! I left my desk at 12 and was back in time for a meeting at 1pm. The server Jose greeted me at the door and said goodbye on my way out. I don't normally eat the chips and salsa at Mexican restaurants, but these were so amazing! I couldn't help myself. They were warm and crispy like they were fresh from the fryer. And the salsa had a little bit of kick to it? My meal was so good I almost ate it before I remembered to take a picture. I got a shrimp dish that came with rice, cheese sauce, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes... a little bit of everything!! ”
“ The place is bigger than what it looks on the outside. The margarita was great. Tiffany was an awesome server. The beans and rice were good. The chicken was soggy. But we will be back. Tuesday kids eat free (one for each adult). ”
“ The food was amazing and the service was great! My wife and I stopped in when our plans fell through at another restaurant and we're super glad it worked out this way. Can't wait to return for more fajita nachos! ”
