Service was horrible. Waitress wouldn't make eye contact to get her attention for drink refills. My son ordered 2 CHEESE QUESADILLAS while we ordered larger meals and he was not served his meal until after we had all been served and it took us 10 minutes to finally flag down the waitress. The meat for the tacos was extremely dry but the fish taco was pretty good. Definitely wouldn't eat here again even if it was free.

I went on a weekday for lunch, and was seated with utensils. Then came hot sauce and chips. I was asked for a drink order and when I received my drink, I asked for a menu. They seemed confused and asked "a regular menu?" Once I looked over the menu, I ordered the Tacos De La Calle with steak and no cilantro. Either the cook misunderstood, or that is where all the flavor comes from, because I got a lot of cilantro, and the steak had no flavor at all. The place is clean, though.

They're with friends. The food was delicious. I love the avocado chicken salad. Not crazy about the dressing so I'm glad I don't have it put on It. Tastes delicious plain

Long story as short as possible. My boss mixed up the reservations for our Christmas party leaving the majority of the group of about twenty here without any warning to the restaurant. Although we figured out where he was in short order and went to find him, the staff here were overwhelmingly considerate and accommodating. A few of us did decide to have a drink while we waited for any stragglers that hadn’t gotten word if the change in venue and we were all impressed with the quality of cocktails and attentiveness of the bartender. I will definitely return to get the full experience soon. Thank you for making a confusing situation easily manageable and being willing to go outside the box for us.

We have been here twice now. The first time was with friends before Covid hit. We were able to get out and have a date night tonight. They did end up having the fire alarm go off... but the food was on point. It NEVER disappoints! The wait staff was nice. They seemed a bit overwhelmed, especially when the alarm went off. But it was still a very enjoyable evening with delicious food.I highly recommend the trio appetizer!

Great food, nice people, great environment.

Went for date night food was good but beef didn't really have a lot of flavor, I had the tamales 1st time having one but didn't really like the flavor ..my wife had house had the margaritas and enjoyed it. The plating was a good eye candy

Cute people. Friendly. ❤️ Great food!!!!!!!

Good food overall, some dishes are hit or miss, but a sincere step up from most Mexican restaurants in town. Very much enjoyed the fajitas, higher quality meats served and it's well worth the price. REAL guacamole. Don't mind if I do.

Best Mexican food in Columbia. Easily.
