This is my favorite place I love the icy margaritas and the steak shrimp and chicken fajitas they come out sizzling in front of you and that's what I love to most. To me that means it's fresh so I enjoy my experience and you will too when you come there staff is always smiling and they sing Happy Birthday to me with my little head on my head and my friends enjoyed it the shots was really big ☺️ but we love that too lol.. Great experience

It started off all right got our drink order then the service turned bad. We got our chips and dips after a couple minutes, then we proceeded to wait 10 mins to get the drinks we had orderd. That’s not it I ordered a sprite my fiancé ordered a tea she tasted it and said it tasted like coffee I look at it a for some odd reason it has a white fuzz around the top of the tea. So we asked if this was tea and she went this is the only tea we have and caught a attitude. I looked around and everybody else’s tea looks like your normal tea. During this time I waited another 10 mins after I finished my sprite to get a refill. And just as I was about to finish my comment the table next to us also mumbled that the tea did not taste correctly. I wouldn’t recommend this place this is our 10thish time and the service was terrible they never came over and asked how the food was and I mean never been here 35 plus mins not one person has came to the table and I’m bout to flip out they finally brought the check the server is supposed lying rosary

If someone could please tell me where I can find actual authentic Mexican food in the city of Columbia, I would greatly appreciate it. This particular restaurant looks authentic, the staff who is friendly, are authentic, but the food sadly is not. Price of the food was pretty fair and our waitress was very nice, even though she didn't get our order right.Upon ordering a combination meal after trying to argue that we wanted the mix 3 combo plate, but we couldn't actually get the three items we wanted, we settled on a plate that was supposed to have a chile relleno on it. What we got instead was a puddle of cheese mixed with hamburger meat. When we asked several of the wait staff if this was actually a chile relleno, we were told yes, they were just very small pieces of chile in it. There was not a chille in sight or in taste. The only thing you could taste in any of the meals we had with salt. But we were lucky to have the entertainment of the male waiter standing literally one feet away from our table clapping his hands in boredom, then sticking his fingers in his nosecuz he had an itch, then go back to serving his guests...during covid.Maybe I'm not hip to the new way chile rellenos are made, but I've attached a picture for you to view and judge for yourself, but for me this was a chile relle-NO.

I went here last night for the first time and i was extremely disappointed. My boyfriend and I ordered 4 each carne asada tacos and they smelled so bad. They were out less than 5 minutes after we ordered them. Definitely were frozen or kept heated and bad. I couldn't even bare the smell. My boyfriend had one and got an upset stomach from it. The server barely apologized and just said "so what do you want" when I apologized for not liking the food! Do not recommend. The queso was ok.

I enjoy going to this restaurant. My coworker has me hooked on the polo chicken meal?? margaritas and all. Nice calming atmosphere and I can't forget David! He always gives us top notch service. We love him❤

They are just ok. I've been here several times. If you want a banging Margarita this is the place. I ordered the Shrimp Tacos and they were super fishy...like they were spoiled. The young man at the front never said a word. He just looked like what do you want. ? my waitress was super nice.

Great ambiance, very helpful and attentive server, terrific and 'shareable' margarita, food was wonderful and served super fast. There was a lunch menu available well after lunchtime and the prices were extremely reasonable-cost the two of us about $20 each including tip, a HUGE (they called it a medium) margarita w/extra Grand Marnier floater, and two entrees with rather large portions on each plate. This place is just down the street when you exit Gate 2 leaving FtJackson. Will 100% have lunch or dinner here every time I come to Ft. jackson from here on out! Enjoy????

I sat at the bar for over 10 minutes and not one employee acknowledged me. I will never buy anything from here ever again. Long time customer loss by poor customer service and this was not the first time this has happened. Lost my business for good this time.

The manager was extremely rude when I explained to him about my food. The food was gross. He told me that because they use fresh meat I'm not making sense. And proceeded to walk away. Never will I ever return.

Would give 5 stars but we had to wait for everything. I literally had to have someone down in order to get service at our table. Overall food was great
