A hidden gem in Columbus. The food was spectacular and the service was fast. The Chori Pollo hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to going again!
Everything is fresh, even the refried beans, which are often found in cans as we all know. Our waiter truly had personality, and the service was first-rate.
My favorite place to eat dinner! All prices are reasonable and food has never been bad! I do wish they would stick to the schedule on google, I've called to order take out and not gotten a response multiple times I've also stopped by to get dinner and they've been closed even when Google says they are open
This restaurant is okay. They no longer serve alcohol and every time I go in they seem to be out of something. The female server barely checked on us and anytime I’d ask a question she was very dismissive. The food was pretty good though which is why I’m give 2 stars instead of 1.
We had a large party of 8 and they accommodated us fine. Food did not come out as ordered. Steak vs chicken. Food was good. Main courses were not all delivered at the same time. Didn’t send anything back. Tried to order cheese dips and a drink from the helper. There was a communication barrier - Spanish to English. There was not enough wait staff so everything was slow. Not a complaint cause we were not pressed for time, but something to be aware of if you are. When we were reading to go it took quite awhile to get the check. Overall food could have been better. Service could have been better. Place was clean. Not a lot of tables inside. If I lived local, I would come back and give them another try.
I came here after reading the other reviews. They were spot on. I ordered the crispy ground beef taco. It is one of my favorites now. I also had the chicken enchiladas with mole. I asked for a spicer hot sauce and it was just the right temperature, kick, and flavor. So delicious. I wish my trip lasted longer so I would come back more often.
One of the better Mexican restaurants in town (that I've been to so far)! Great Móle enchiladas, and super tasty Chipotle enchiladas! (My husband and I agreed that whenever we come back we will be ordering the chipotle enchiladas every time). The chips and salsa were just ok, but their actual dishes were very well done!
