Safe to say it's tame enough for northerners. You can bring the family and enjoy a conversation at your table/booth; they don't have loud music in the background.

The REAL THING! When this place opened we soon realized it…read morewas not your average Mexican restaurant, oh it has the the bright vibrant colors, and at first the menu looks like any other restaurant, but you get a appetizer and it's a meal! All of the food is made when it is ordered, all fresh, the queso is fantastic! And it's made fresh. The guacamole is fresh, the EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS, I will make the longest review if I name everything that's delish. I order take out a lot from here and I don't always call in, they are so fast at getting my order to me. They also have Mexican Coca Cola (made with cane sugar, just like REAL coke was made before they messed with it). From 1 to 10, I would give the restaurant a 20+

Driving from the airport we came across this little gem and decided to stop and were we glad we…read moredid! I wish we had gotten pictures of my food but we gobbled it all up too fast! They sell many kinds of tacos. I got the chori pollo and the Al Pastor. They were both amazing. The fried corn is so good it should be illegal. We didn't try the margaritas which gives us a reason to go back. Our server was so sweet and I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name. (She was from New York I remember!) The salsa was the only thing that didn't impress us. It was kind of bland but the chips were good and fresh!

Where do I start! Came to the area to buy a camper and stopped here for lunch. To say the least…read morethis was near the top of my list for any Mexican style restaurant I've had. Jude was an incredible server and her hospitality was noticed right when walking in. Only server for the day and she was kicking butt making sure everyone was taking care of and my beer was filled! The food, impeccable. The twist and flare Jorge (the cook) puts on the food was very to par with my liking. The street corn is a must especially my visit being in the summer and in season. Must visit if passing through or in the area! Highly recommend.

Honestly, I was very disappointed. I understand that food prices have increased everywhere, but…read morecharging these prices--especially on Taco Tuesday--for some of the smallest tacos I've seen is unacceptable. Paying $5 for a small fry that had fewer than 15 fries is outrageous. It also took nearly 20 minutes to receive our food. While it was dinnertime, the service felt unusually slow. Overall, the food quality has declined, portions are significantly smaller than they should be, and prices have gone way up. To make matters worse, when I mentioned these concerns at the counter, the response was simply "okay," with little to no acknowledgment or concern for the experience.

Great place for a quick bite and bring your appetite.

I hate giving bad reviews, but this one deserves it…read more First, the okay (nothing was great): the beer was beer, the atmosphere was okay, the staff was nice, location was good The bad: Chips were stale, served in a small basket, tasted like off brand Tostitos and they were slow on bringing a new chip basket. Queso was congealed and lumpy, and after asking them to microwave it up to liquify it a bit, same issue when we got it back. Salsa was terrible (tried a bunch of them, nothing good) and the cups were too small to dip a chip in them. My wife got the beef nachos, that came cold and the beef was tasteless, not to mention the same issue with the cold queso on the nachos. I got a Milanese (might have messed up the spelling), which is breaded and fried beef with tortillas, salad, rice and beans. The beef wasn't good at all, the tortillas were okay, the rice didn't taste seasoned and the beans were watered down enough to the consistency of soup. To top it all off, this place was on the expensive side of Mexican food. If you're in Anderson looking for Mexican, just go up Hwy 81 to Papas and Beer.

Cafeteria grade food at its worst!…read more Started the order with a cold FLAT beer. After bringing it to the waitresses attention she said she was advised to not serve any more beer from tap. Then we saw another table get served one a few minutes later. We ordered the Texas Nachos which had a cheese sauce, that literally had zero cheese flavor. Honestly, canned nacho cheese would have been welcomed. The white "cheese" sauce was just thickened milk, no cheese. The meat on it was cold and old. The shrimp was literally cold in the center and the steak was hard and chewy, so much so I gave up chewing after a few minutes. No veggies or items on top to qualify as nachos. Both the nachos and tacos came out together in about five minutes or less. So, the food is NOT made to order. It appeared to be RTE, which is not what you would expect from a sit down full service restaurant. Even taco trucks make the food to order! My husband and I ordered two taco's each, pastor and chorizo. It came out in one basket, I guess for us to take turns eating. It's not a good sign when we couldn't tell the tacos apart. They had zero flavor and one small scoop of some kind of meat each. But I will be very excited if we don't get sick from them. While there we also witnessed the chips baskets are pre done and stacked on top of one another in totes. So the bottom of the baskets that have been on every dirty table touches the top of your chips, which were stale. Yum! Well, we tried it and can hopefully save someone from a disappointing dining experience. Don't waste your time or money here!

An excellent little store and food counter in Lavonia!…read more They have the best tacos I've had in the area (and the al pastor tacos are as good as I've ever had). Bonus? Most of the tacos (with doubled soft corn shells) are only $1.50! My kids love the chicken quesadillas ($8). The green sauce that comes with it (in a container) is just the right flavor/spice (they also have limes with them and garnish with radishes... it works!). Another bonus? They sell the premixed al pastor by the pound (along with other meats). We bought a few pounds yesterday for taco night (on a Monday). It was excellent. The selection of tacos, burritos, etc. is really good (including guts and tongue; there's a photo of the menu here on Yelp). No fish, vegetarian, or vegan, though. The store has exactly the kinds of things you'd hope for. The last bonus? The service is friendly and efficient. I go there every Sunday. I've never seen it empty and it caters to all our local folks with joy. Keep it up Los Gomez and God bless you!

The food is the best that I have had as far as authentic Mexican food. Did I mention cheap? Tacos are only $1.50 each! This is cheaper than Taco Bell and this is actually real food! They have fresh cut meats like chicken,beef and pork. They have real pork skins that they fry up. Us southerners love those. They have a huge selection of Mexican goods to be a small Mexican store. If it's authentic that your looking for then definitely stop by here.

I was skeptical at first, but when I walked into the restaurant, I knew that I had made the right decision it was decorated very nicely and very, very clean. I was greeted immediately by the host, and it was a very nice experience talking to her. They had very many selections to choose from for food. The chips that they serve with the salsa were so crisp and light. They were very delicious. I ordered the shrimp and scallops over rice with a salad. It was very delicious and cooked to perfection. My dish did not come with tortillas, but I asked for them and I must say those were the best tortillas I have ever eaten. I am uncertain if they were made in house or store-bought, but they were absolutely delicious.. I almost never ordered dessert, but I wanted to try what they offered and I must say that it was the best dessert I think I have ever had.. I love ice cream and coffee. The dessert hit spot. If you have an opportunity to order dessert, I suggest you order this, but it is so much that it would be something that you would want to share with the other people in your party! My waiter was very attentive to my needs and I rate this restaurant a five star!

Wow. We've been sleeping on El Centenario, my wife and I just relocated from Texas a month ago…read more This Trumps anything "Mexican" we've had here.
