Really good food and good service.

We were traveling and stopped to get some authentic Mexican food and we were not disappointed. Food was excellent and the service was great. I highly recommend this place.

I shared the fajitas for two. We had the chicken fajitas the meat was delicious the portion could have been bigger but the toppings that it came with came with were plenty. One of our family members had the shrimp tacos. From what they told me the food was delicious but also the portion could have been bigger.The parking lot is small so also it is hard to parkthere especially on the weekends.The complimentary chips were delicious and the homemade salsa that we had in the green bottle and the red one were outstanding.The restaurant also gets crowded and since it is not a very large place it is best to get there early enough to make sure you get seat but they also do have seating outside if you prefer.The decorations in the restaurant will also very nice overall we were very satisfied with this place and definitely will return.

Coming from Chicago with authentic Mexican food everywhere I was missing it here in SC. Till I found this place! Very authentic, everything is delicious that I’ve had so far! But the Birria is the best in town!! I drive 30 min to get some Birria!

The best Mexican food I’ve had in Columbia. This place has great, authentic food. But get in fast and be prepared to wait. It is very popular. They will put your name down and text you when your table is ready. It is conveniently located right off of I-20, so if you are passing through don’t miss out. The parking however is a downside. It’s not conducive for the crowd this place draws, so would give the overall restaurant a 4.5 because of it. They make a great micheleda. I had the birria torta. It was amazing, especially the dipping sauce. The birria tacos were also great with fresh corn tortillas. They make their birria with goat which is great and more authentic. My wife had the carnita plate. It came with rice and beans and nopales (cactus). The carnitas (pork) was cooked and seasoned very well. I love this place and would definitely recommend to anyone who loves real Mexican food.

Real authentic Mexican food

Very bland. Watered down broth. Was my first time doing and was really excited to try them. Wanted birria flour tacos. They only do quesadillas. Disappointed. Never again

Excellent service. Not a long wait for food with a packed house. Food was fresh hot and very good

The employees were friendly. The food was good, but could use a little tiny bit of salt. The waitress seemed to be rushing us by trying to remove our dishes from the table when we were done eating. I dislike that a lot. There seemed to be a lot if cars in the parking lot, but the restaurant inside wasn't packed. We sat outside and there were tables available outside. Maybe they were rushing to free up parking spaces for arriving customers. We were constantly eating, NOT sitting around chatting and holding up a table.
