    a mexican menu
    SamKat P.

    Just passing through on our way to the smoky mountains, and needed to find a place for a quick lunch. This place was super affordable, quick service, and the tacos and fajitas were really good and authentic.

    Seafood fajita - served with corn or flour tortillas
    Bunny H.

    From chips to our fajitas - everything we had in this place was just amazing! What a great find just off of Interstate 26. And it is open in Sunday evening! Chips and salsa were delivered first - and refilled by the way - and there was a choice of mild or spicy. We decided to share a seafood fajita dish with flour tortillas. The third in our party ordered the vegetable bowl which was pretty unassuming with only cheese and lettuce on the top but proved to have lots of other veggies when stirred - wasps pretty but tasty made up for it for sure. The crowning glory of the dinner was the guacamole!!! We chose spicy and it was the best guacamole we have ever tasted. Lina, our server, was attentive and right on top of things. It was a SUPER stop and one that we will repeat as we travel.

    Beef Chimichanga with Mexican cream, beans, lettuce, tomato, guacamole. Delicious!

    Yum! another authentic Mexican restaurant close to our house! I got the "bowl platter" with shredded chicken and it was delicious! Comes with rice , beans, lettuce tomato and shredded cheese, guacamole and sour cream! The salsa is super fresh with lots of cilantro there was 1 waitress and she was killing it! We will be back!

My most recent weeknight visit started off just right with friendly service and a drink- that Mexican Ashtray hit just right after a long day of being a desk troll. Shoutout to whoever had the idea to offer not one, but THREE varieties of Cholula at the table--I appreciate being able to re-up my hot sauce quotient at will. My husband and I shared the queso blanco appetizer, which was quite tasty. Bonus points for the magic dust sprinkled over the chips. For entrees, tacos came in strong. I had a Crispy Avocado and a Chilly Willy shrimp, both of which were done just right. The fried elements were crispy and crunchy with zero excess grease, the veggie toppings were crisp and fresh, and the sauces were savory and so good. My better half enjoyed a Mother Clucker and a Patagonia Steak, which came with an awesome chimichurri. The menu looked a little different since my last visit. I was sad to see that my favorite taco (Cauliflower Power) did not make the cut, but change is good, right? I will say that the grits are a stellar addition to the sides and more than made up for it. Thanks again to everyone at the Spartanburg location for a great weeknight meal! We'll be back soon.
