I have had so many different delicious meals here. Most recently I enjoyed the veggie burrito bowl. Wow, this was like 3 meals for me and I loved that there was so much variety in the veggies, it was like a super yummy rainbow. Also their sweet tea is just perfect if you're the person doing 50% sweet/50% unsweet tea at most other places like I am

oh my god don't go to this place they keep you waiting for 30+ minutes to take your order and the waitresses talking to each other and browsing Instagram. there was only one very young boy carrying the salsas to the tables. That's when I asked to speak to the manager of the place, they left one on each side scared and refused to give the name or call the manager. I even took some pictures so I could come back the next day and explain to the manager what kind of service you are having at his establishment. It was then that I decided to go to the restaurant across the street called Mi Fiesta where we were served with great politeness and respect.

Always delish and great service.

It’s my 3rd time coming here. Every time has been a great experience. I was mind blown the first time, the food was amazing. Will be coming here more often. I don’t often write reviews but I had to make an exception.

Good food friendly staff

Ate here for the first time for dinner last night. The decor was inviting with good colors and enough brightness. Someone quickly put us at a table, followed by someone else bringing us a bowl of salsa with warm chips. Delicious! Our waiter was there quickly to take our drink orders, which were subsequently brought to us almost immediately. We then have him our orders which were all enchiladas of some kind. One order of cheese enchiladas with a side of refried beans, another with 3 different, beef, cheese, and chicken and all the sides and bells and whistles, and can't remember third, but all delicious. The beans were almost creamy with a really nice taste, and the rice was just right. All of the enchiladas were excellent, cooked to perfection and just the right amount of sauce and seasonings. For desert we had fried ice cream, a nice treat. Overall, a great meal experience at a very reasonable price, working out to only about $20 each including everything. Really a great place to go and family oriented.

After we were seated and had placed our drink orders we were successfully ignored for quite some time. I actually had to get up and tell the greater at the door we were waiting to order. That's the worst part. Once we ordered the food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. I will return, sometimes things just don't go as one would expect. Bottom line, I Like the Food.

you know that moment when you've had a crazy long day of work on your absolutely starving you need all the food. Well this is the place. Wait time is not always the fastest but they consistently have great food and good prices.It's without question my favorite Mexican place in Summerville.

Make sure to ask what there is an additional charge for. I was charged 9.00 extra for tacos that are originally 7.50 because I substituted for grilled chicken. The up charge is not noted on the menu and when I explained I wasn’t expecting it and would have ordered less the manager said there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. So I paid 20.00 for 3 tacos with nothing but the grilled chicken on them. Ridiculous. I will NEVER go back.

They have the best waiters in town. Especially Isaias Martinez, Kevin, Abi, Nemo, Jose, Mike, Lilly. Marcos is awesome and Camilo is the best host. Then entire staff is great.
