We are still working on our Mexican food tour of middle South Carolina. Right now it's a two way tie and still need more places to test. Food here is pretty good and while the salsa is kid rated, you can spice it up pretty easy by adding hot sauce to it. Dinners are enjoyable, service was good and polite. This property is showing its age to be sure, I know it's been open here like this for at least 17 years, Still I recommend a stop for whatever American Mexican meal you like. read more

"Chicken Fajitas with a Side of Fumigation...??" About a week ago, my family and I visited Angel's Mexican Restaurant after a failed attempt to dine at Red Lobster for a family member's birthday celebration. While I had a taste for some Cheddar Biscuits and Salmon, a family reunion and an extended 2 hour wait, relocated our party a few miles down the street to Angels. " The Scene" As with all Mexican restaurants, the restaurant resembled the establishments I frequent in Texas. The walls were adorned with Sombreros and vibrant colors and flags accented the decor. Unfortunately, upon entry, since my nose works perfectly, the unmistakable smell of a restaurant that had been recently fumigated assaulted me. I asked my party if their noses relayed the same thing and we all agreed that the smell was unmistakable. Sadly, the party continued to move forward so I decided to be of good cheer and enjoy the birthday celebration. "The Meal" Normally if I smell RAID in a restaurant entrance, I will do an "About Face" and March out the way I came, but alas it wasn't my birthday. As I type this review, I see that another Yelper has confirmed my suspicions about the smell, by verifying the presence of "vermin" during their recent stay. Even with the horrid smell, I decided to give the establishment a "3" as I didn't witness any... and our waitress was phenomenal. I have worked in the food industry as a youth and understand the importance of fumigation, just not remaining as thick in the air during dining hours, that I could cut the smell with a knife. Our party ordered 1. An appetizer of chicken wings and fries, (delicious) 2. An order of a white cheese hamburger dip 3. An order of a cheese Blanco dip 4. An extremely (DRY) white chicken meat burrito with cheese 5. Chicken tortilla soup (salty) 6. A kid's chicken quesadilla with Spanish rice 7. A Tilapia fajita with shrimp and scallops and a 2-plate special with a stuffed Chile Relleno. For dessert the party decided on chocolate filled churros that were actually light and fluffy. From what I gathered, the participants involved graciously ate and enjoyed their meal, while withholding comments about the horrific smell. All in all, the time catching up at the establishment was nice, but the smell made me nauseous. I couldn't enjoy my meal, and since I was on vacation with several places to eat at in Texas, I didn't want to make a scene. Unfortunately for me, a second visit will probably not be in the future. Da Islandgal29412 Ms. Foodie. I applaud management for trying to control their "vermin" issue, but please close the restaurant the day of and after, I literally was nauseous by the time we made it home... read more

The food here is excellent. Mexican Food is my favorite. Plenty of Room inside, service is excellent. Clean Restrooms, and a very clean and friendly environment Handicap parking. I have been going there for years and never had a complaint about anything so go try it if you don't go you're missing out! Try fried ice cream as well. You'll love it. read more

I've never had a bad experience here. We are always seated immediately, the servers are always friendly and in good moods, and the food is delicious! The choripollo has a terrific spice and charred flavor to it. Add grilled onions - you won't regret it! More than anything - I end up coming back because I know the service is to a certain standard. I feel good about spending my money here, and I'm happy when I leave. read more

Amazing Mexican buffet on certain days! Wendsday, Thursday and Saturday! Call for hours or see photos! Service is great and fast! Food is flavored very well authentic! read more

Stopped in on our way back home yesterday. Before I went in, I texted someone and asked if they were a good choice. We are not from the area and obviously it was our first time there. By the time I got a reply, unfortunately we had already been seated. In the meantime the waitress interaction had already left me disgusted. She had the absolute worst personality and hadn't even taken our food order. Finally got a reply about whether or not we should eat there and it was... NO. Since the female was already unfriendly and borderline rude we paid for the drinks and left. We ended up going to Yucatan and it was far better. The service was awesome, we didn't have any complaints about them. The prices were even better! read more

Angel's Mexican Restaurant - Queso dip - Mexican Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

Zero stars! Worst Mexican food, ever! Everything was cold had zero flavor and had a rancid oder. Just simply terrible.

The buffet had an array of dishes all were very good. Tosada bowls were authentic and taste delicious. Will have to try this restaurant another time. read more

First person to help us didn't have a mask on. We asked politely for her to put her mask on and instead they just switched our waiter. Non the less the original girl was still walking around us helping other people without her mask on still! Keep in mind that covid is at a high right now. They also had another man come out multiple times not wearing his mask. Covid is not a joke and shouldn't be taken lightly, they should be fined the $50 the city requires for people violating. On top of that, our food was burnt and we asked for our meals a certain way. It wasn't told to us until after we got our food that they couldn't make our food the way we ordered it. I'm very disappointed because our first experience was great but after this us went downhill. read more

Angel's Mexican Restaurant - The lady is it wearing her mask at all! What's the point of even having it on your neck if you're not going to wear it! - Mexican Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

The stars are for the ambiance and the service. The place has potential but, currently missing the mark. As mentioned, the ambiance is inviting and festive. Decor is ok. The water fountain in the entrance would be a nice feature if not off and with standing dirty water. The chips were nice and warm, nothing special to say about the salsa. We had Fajitas Tejanas for two. At arrival the fajitas were not sizzling as expected and they lacked seasoning. However, the soft corn tortillas were good (kind of rustic.) read more

angel's is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. My wife and I dine there often. We highly recommend Angel's. They have the best molcajete of any Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten. The staff are very friendly. Plenty of tables (both inside or outside) we have never waited for very long. Fair prices for great food! Highly recommend! Their tables are wheelchair-friendly. Clean restaurant ample parking. I would give 6 stars, but Yelp limits me to only 5 stars (which is not enough for this restaurant) read more

We had lunch at Angel's Mexican Restaurant in Sumter, SC. The salsa had no flavor....the worst I've ever had. The vodka drinks were not as we ordered....ordered with cranberry and a splash of OJ, I'm not sure what we received. The drinks were undrinkable. We ordered extra cheese on the quesadillas, received no cheese. The food, drinks, and the experience was substandard! read more

Great food, great service! The Fajitas Loco was fantastic! It was a great twist on a classic fajitas. read more

Angel's Mexican Restaurant - Chicken fajitas Loco - Mexican Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

Foods great and it feels family owned. Decent service and prices. Taco Tuesday is always a hit

Well should have known when I arrived and parking lot was empty at 6pm. Went inside for taco Tuesday .99 beef taco bland. Salsa was a different taste idk how to describe. Took forever to get service while sitting at bar people walked right by me even when they were behind bar. Talked to I am guessing regulars I asked for salsa verde never got it. Never even got asked for a refill of regular salsa. Beer was not very cold either I don't recommend this place. As good not very good and service is horrible plenty of staff not a lot of patrons read more

Food is good tables are clean and they don't mind special orders. Nice owner and serving staff. Relaxing, friendly and great food.

Nothing like a great mojito while I wait on great food! Angels good, drinks, and service never let me down. Y'all come see for yourself and bring a friend. It's a fiesta! read more

In Sumter, i don't think you can do much better. Its good mexican food, very reasonably priced, fast and friendly service both lunch and dinner during my 3 experiences. We've had the fajitas, mexican guacamole, carnitas, tacos and all were good. Bottomless chips and salsa, you cannot complain. What would make it 5 stars? Well, maybe more of a fancy inside, less Sumter like, but again, your in Sumter, not downtown Colombia. Food and service is good, which is why you go. read more

So while I don't have any comparison for this location here in Sumter (yet), I will say that Angel's does a pretty good job of being tasty. Nice/Comfortable atmosphere, typical of most Mexican themed restaurants , and friendly service. It was mostly early evening, about 5:30ish, when me and my fiancé pulled in for dinner. Parking lot, and of course inside, were mostly empty, but a few patrons were in already. We are always a bit hesitant about what we order from a new Mexican location... hate to get something expensive or extensive and then end up despising the place. So we kept it simple. I went with their Taco plate (soft tacos) and my fiancé had the fajitas (chicken and steak). We were started with complimentary warm chips and salsa. No real crazy flavor to the chips (I've had salt and lime which are amazing), but they were typical and fine. Salsa seemed typical of most restaurants or from the jar styles. Tacos were good, not a lot of strong flavor to the meat, so they were tilting toward the bland side... but overall it was still tasty enough to eat without any huge complaints. Looking back I should have asked for a lime or similar to try and bring it to life a bit more. The fajitas were actually quite tasty, well seasoned and not overcooked. Definitely an order I wish I would have made. All in all, not a bad spot. Good to decent food, with good/nice service, and a comfortable little place. I do actually want/plan to go back because I noticed they had the more traditional corn tortilla style tacos (carnitas, etc). So want to give those a taste. I will be checking out the other Mexican joints in town (so watch out for those reviews to come), but I'll be returning to this one as well and would suggest it to anyone interested. read more

You are getting a one because zero wasn't an option! We eat out at least 10-15 times a week! This has got to be the worst management and customer service that I have ever experienced! With the amount of Mexican restaurants in Sumter, you would think they would be aware of what is happening around them! Do yourself a favor and go to any of the other Mexican restaurants besides this one. They are awful!!!! read more

Food is fresh and seasoned well.. I had the fajita quesadilla which was delicious.. food came out fast, not a long wait at all, customer service was excellent read more

Angel's is the best Mexican restaurant I dined at in this area, and I've tried all of them.

Great food ! Great servers! Even though are server was busy and dealt with horrible customers she kept her smile!

Angel's is not the must authentic Mexican Restaurant, but we are also not very close to Mexico in South Carolina. I would say it is a little more Tex-Mex than Mexican. They did a great job decorating the interior and the restaurant feels very authentic. The food is good, and the cheese dip is awesome! I would highly recommend their Steak Fajita Nachos and their California Quesadilla. (The Quesadilla has avocado and mushrooms in it.) The service has always been very friendly, and my family and I enjoy eating here. read more

Found a Band-Aid in my food, ordered the Texas Fajitas 1/2 way through eating found a used dirty Band-Aid, I am physically sick I wont be eating anything for a while but certainly will never eat there again. They gave me my food for free yippee no charge for the Band-aid. If you care about your and your families health do not eat there this place needs to die on the vine. read more

Definitely the worst Mexican restaurant in Sumter.

Angel's Mexican Restaurant - Camerones ala Diabla. - Mexican Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

Yummy Mexican. Tastes and feels authentic. By far, the best Mexican food in Sumter. Great wait staff.

Without any doubt, the worst Mexican restaurant I've EVER been to. Ages behind Yucatan or even Mariachis. Angel's food quality is poor and the atmosphere is anything but Mexican. Don't waste your time here... I'm sorry to be so harsh but the point here is to be honest. One more thing: I went to the downtown location... Some people say the other is better, but in my opinion a brand must be consistent in the quality of service provided. read more

The staff and service was amazing! We got out food on time, it was fresh and hot. They refilled our drinks when they saw when we were running low. Great and delicious restaurant read more

Their chefs are passionate about their work, their restaurant creates dishes exclusively from the freshest ingredients and the finest traditional Mexican recipes. Homemade tortillas, crisp lettuce, succulent tomatoes, tender, juicy meats, and savory spices. A family run busy with very friendly service. Lots of food for your money. You will need a to go box on most of the meals. Buy one get one free combos during the week. Military discount available. Happy hour with dollar beers. They even have Horchata (Mexican drink with almonds, rice, cinnamon, sugar and lime). It sounds weird but tastes great. This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant in town. read more

Huge menu, so know what you're in the mood for or you'll be very indecisive. Either way gratis chips & salsa were tasty. Torta bread was sadly not available at the time but the chorizo tacos I got instead were good. Very affordable and again, lots of choices. read more

Easily the best mexi joint in Sumter. I HIGHLY recommend you give the SWEET FRIED BURRITOS a try! They are epic and a unique dish you won't find any other mexi places and trust me I've eaten at so many around the US. read more

I was here Sunday afternoon I read good reviews so I say why not? Waitress bad attitude, food not flavor at all. I order chicken fajitas nachos and was only chips and lettuce on my plate only orotund 10 small pieces of chicken. My husband he is not a picky eater and he dislike the food too. Never go back again. read more

Tacos con Carne Asada and Steak Fajitas were very good, plentiful and flavorful. The guacamole bowl was OK but had too much cilantro. The Maître'd could learn more about customer relations to provide a better service; aloof and strange sums him up. Overall, best Tex-Mex I've had here in South Carolina; being from Texas I'm a little picky. read more

I wish I could say something nice but no one was there to greet us. We waited about five minutes and saw only one waiter with his back to us. We left without even being seated. Sad. read more
