Reliably good for a sit-down Mexican meal in Columbia. Also great for margaritas with friends. Lots…read moreof seating between the front and back rooms, so you can count on finding a place even during a busier night. Menu has traditional dishes and a lot of the usual taco/burrito/enchilada/rice/bean combos to choose from, and great queso dip. The rice and beans are done right, not too salty or dry, and the portions are generous. You may have leftovers. The kids menu is a hit with my family, and wait staff are very friendly and patient! Meals come with cornbread muffin which was unexpected and fun :)

I decided to check with Yelp, and found this place. I am so glad I did. They had MUCH better ratings. The white small container had some kind of sweetness to it. When I inquired, they said it paired well with the chips. A quick dip of the chip, and then into the salsa...pretty darn good! I got the fajita Quesadilla, which was huge(as you can see). It was fantastic, and full of flavor! The rice was really good and wasn't (surprisingly) dried out like most places. The plate was garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream. I took half home for dinner.

Booths and tables. Always clean. Service has been the main positive draw for us. Yes, there may be some language barriers, but waitstaff have always been awesome. Food is good. The food is a TexMex with American spin on it. So short review, but we go here easy 1-2 times a month, and zero negative to say. Good people Good food.

Very friendly staff and always patient and understanding with my kids when they have special requests. The food is good. Guacamole is fresh, and they have all of the dishes and combos you would expect to see. Good margaritas by the glass or pitcher and all the chips. (I think the rice is one of the saltier things on the menu - I'm thirsty in the middle of the night if I order it...) For something different, try the torta sandwich! They also cater- a friend ordered from here for one of their parties, and the food was great. Everyone could make their own combinations with steak or chicken and all of the sides. Something to keep in mind!

I ordered the steak Mexicano and it was pretty good. I feel like it lacked some seasoning and it had a bit too much fat but it was still enjoyable. I was pretty full but I had to try their flan. It's not like the Cuban style flan that I'm used to, as this one was a bit more firm, but it was still good. Everyone I came in contact with was very polite and helpful. Definitely worth a try when driving through town.
