    Got a Togo order of 4 tacos, 2 orders of rice with no beans and I only got 3 tacos with beans.

    Ordered 4 tacos with 2 orders of rice no beans and got only 3 tacos with beans. Will not order from there again.

    Went in to order two burritos I told them no pico and it comes out with pico. They remake it and it comes back like they just thought it together literally was barely edible. The pic will show... come on guys the one in Murphy's was fantastic. The first burrito was better than the second besides the pico. Will try again mainly because i loved the Murphy's location and hoping it just might be a new cook or a bad cook...

    Veggie Fajitas

    Visited it for dinner on weekday , it was quite full restaurant. Chips was complimentary but chips was very oily and lack the taste. We ordered supreme taco and veggie fajitas . Veggie fajita was decent taste with flavors of vegetables but the taco was very bland neither had any spicy nor the taste that we had to ask for homemade spicy sauce. Good part was I felt servers were very nice and looked happy such that they really enjoy their work which was commendable .

    Caldo de Pollo soup

    We love El Jardin when we pass through Columbia. The service is excellent and menu is authentic Mexican food. The Caldo de Pollo soup is amazing! Highly recommend. The broth is delicious served with rice, Pico de gallo, purple cabbage, sliced Avocado. My husband ordered Combination Chili Relleno plate. He said it was excellent! We decided to eat at El Jardin another location. We ordered the Fish tacos special. Margarita is little sweet so I ordered Skinny Margarita if you want to skip the sugary mix.

    Free Chips/salsa

    Stopped by this cute Mexican restaurant on our way out of Columbia. Nice out door (pet friendly) seating, good ambiance. Staff were really friendly. I ordered a combination plate, 1 chicken enchilada (salsa verde) and 1 steak taco. Plate also came with rice and beans. Everything had really good flavor, beans were a little on the runny side but mixed with my rice was tasty. My boyfriend got the carne asada plate which he really enjoyed. When we are back in the area we will definitely come back to this spot. For card payments they accept visa/Mastercard/American Express. Unfortunately no Apple Pay. But also didn't completely expect this small historic town to be completely up to date with that. All In all we had a good experience here and recommend to others :)

    The filter paper unwrapped in my mouth as I was checking it.

    my DoorDash just dropped off food from here and halfway thru eating my steak taco salad I started chewing on something extra chewy. Thinking it was steak gristle I chewed for so much longer than I wish I had but I eventually pulled out the chewy thing out of my mouth and it was a cigarette butt. After gagging and throwing up for a bit I had my wife call to ask for a refund or the very least to raise awareness to the staff. They completely denied and dismissed it as not their fault. Mind you the bags our food came in had no signs of tampering with and the dish itself had the toppings undisturbed when I started eating. I believe the gentleman's name who my wife spoke with was Julesus? who didn't take any of our info. I was beyond disgusted by the cigarette filter I chewed on but it was really unfortunate the staff refused to help.

I'm not sure when the transition to new owners happened - March 2026 maybe. Anyway, 4 of us made reservations for Saturday night. We were seated right away by a friendly staff. By the time we left, the restaurant had quite a few diners. This dining room is quite pleasant, pretty much the same as before. Our food was all quite good. The menu is all new - be careful looking at menu photos online - some are from the prior operation. I am attaching current photos. I'm pretty sure the current menu is more affordable and less extensive compared to the prior operation. Nice friendly service. The saloon is separate - we did not try it.

For lunch we had the Red Goat BLT on focaccia with goat cheese and the Gold Standard hamburger. Both of them were excellent. The rosemary focaccia and brioche hamburger bun were made in the restaurant and extremely good. I'm a baker and I know good bread. The bacon on the BLT was thick and had a flavor that really came through. The goat cheese really made the BLT shine! The hamburger had a very generous portion of angus beef burger that was grilled to perfection and the aioli was a perfect condiment. The dill potato salad we both had was perfect for lunch on a warm day. Everything we ate here was perfectly made and for such a beautiful environment and upscale restaurant, the prices were really very reasonable. The dining room was elegant, but comfortable, and our waitress, Natasha, was truly a pleasure--she really took good care of us and had helpful answers to our numerous questions. She is a real star! Unfortunately, we don't live near Columbia so we can't eat here regularly, but whenever we find ourselves anywhere near Columbia we will definitely eat at the City Hotel.

We arrived earlier in the evening before the music started so we could hopefully grab a table. Thank goodness we did because the space filled up fast. It was so crowded it was hard to move around. From what I heard, they usually have the band outside, but since it was raining, they were crammed into the very small corner in the back. Aside from the space being tight, I had a good time. I don't drink beer, but they had other options for me to chose from. I particularly loved the boozy kombucha they had on tap. They ran out early in the evening, so I was only able to grab one, but it was really good. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring outside food in. The staff was busy, but they were friendly and answered questions I had. Lastly, the sense of community amongst all the people there was obviously special. Everyone seemed to know each other, which is a cool thing to experience.

There is an upstairs area that has views of Sonora, but also overlooks the outdoor area which is great for people watching. The Armory is family and dog friendly and it was great to see families and their fur babies enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. The menu has great appetizers to share, salads and bowls, tacos, sandwiches, and satisfying pastas + a delicious short rib plate. The drink menu is extensive - they have an impressive variety of barrel-aged bourbons, Irish whiskeys, scotch, rye, tequila, and mezcal and quite the selection of beers on tap, in bottles, and in cans. The wine list will have something for everyone. And the cocktails all looked amazing! We had the smoked pork nachos, ahi poke bowl, and the Rodeo Burger. Everything was tasty and came out quickly. The Armory is a must try!

There is plenty of parking, plenty of seating. We came here on a Sunday evening and were greeted and seated right as we walked in. The staff is top-notch. I wish I would have gotten our waitresses name because she's a rockstar, she gave her recommendations, remembered our order (even with my friend asking her 100 questions and changing her mind a couple times) and was super attentive making sure to check in often. I also got to see other staff interactions with other customers and they were all friendly and attentive, also I feel there were quite a few regulars because the place really felt like you're walking into a friends house. We got the calamari appetizer, it was perfectly crispy and delicious. We all ordered steak and each one was perfection- cooked just how we ordered and tasted amazing with the different sauces. My fiancee got the white peppercorn and nearly licked his plate clean, I got the garlic one with sautéed mushrooms, and our friend went with the chipotle on the side (she ended up pouring it on top because it was amazing.) We've been to some fancy steakhouses, and this was better than most, with a much better price tag. The servings were generous and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Also the bread was hot and perfect, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I wish we had room for dessert because I know it must be amazing too. We will definitely be coming back!

Last night my bestfriend & I decided to meet up at the Peppery for dinner. I arrived first and went in to get a table for the two of us. I was waiting in the entry area behind the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign. As I waited another party arrived and was waiting beside me. One of the servers came over walked past me and asked them for how many and took them to be seated. Interesting for me seeing as I had been standing there for a few minutes before they entered the restaurant, while servers walked passed me & those near the bar area made eye contact and went back to their duties. Another couple then came into the restaurant and were waiting beside me to be seated, a different server emerged and started walking towards us, she then asked if I had already been helped and got me seated at a table and got menus & drinks while I waited for my friend to arrive. Once she arrived our server got her drink order and checked to see if we need anything while we look over the menu. We noticed they have an updated menu with all the same favorites. My friend ordered the Angel Hair Pasta w/ Italian Sausage with a cup of soup to start, and I ordered the Garlic Roasted Ribeye with Jalapeno Cheddar Mashed Potatoes & Seasonal Veggies with a house salad to start. The food was good not quite as good as I had anticipated. My friends pasta was over sauced, too much sauce for the amount of pasta. My steak had too much demi glaze on it; I did wipe most of it off and I will order it on the side next time. My steak was cooked slightly under what I requested but still good. We were so stuffed that we did not even want to look at the dessert menu. I probably will go back, but I will wait a bit before we return.
