    Margarita
    Tara S.

    The staff are so friendly and welcoming! I ordered a large margarita and wow it was so big!! For my meal I had a chicken quesadilla and it was so good. I definitely had to take some home because it was a large serving. Would recommend!

    My meal, after I poured a bit salsa on it.

    A clean, spacious Mexican themed restaurant in the heart of downtown Circleville, Ohio. Free on street parking. Greeted and seated promptly. Upbeat Hispanic music playing. Server was prompt and courteous with silverware, menu, complimentary chips and salsa. I liked the chips but the salsa was uninspired. Order taking was prompt and accurate, as was the food delivery. Sadly, my single biggest complaint was nothing was stove hot, not even the plates. The food was struggling to be much above room temperature. The taco meat had a good flavor, not spicy, but only lettuce as a topping. No cheese, no onion, no tomato. The enchilada was just that with a bit of sauce. A spoon of refried beans with a dab of melted cheese, a spoon of rice. No frills, no ambience, no presentation. If the food had been hot I wouldn't complain too much about going again as I haven't found a Mexican restaurant in town significantly better. But for cold Mexican I can get better presentation, cheaper at fast food place.

    Street tacos- chicken. I asked for no onions and added cheese.

    I am updating my review to a five, this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Circleville! Food is consistently good and staff is always friendly. I love their chicken tortilla soup and their margaritas. Seating is comfortable and they get you in quickly and serve the food fast!

    I LOVE El Pedregal. This place is one that my partner and I visit almost weekly. They are top notch when it comes to flavor, service and value. The wait staff is always so incredibly nice, and the place is always so insanely clean and well put together. You are made to feel like family here. I've come to find this is the best Mexican food around the area, and I cannot explain enough the type of magic that kitchen creates. The bar staff is always so welcoming and sweet. I will continue to return week after week for my favorite dish around, and the best company you can find. This is also a local restaurant that gets involved with community events like trick or treating, where we watched them go above and beyond for the local children this past Halloween. They truly are the best place out there, and the quickest service in the area. I LOVE YOU EL PEDREGAL!

    Lunch burrito
    Megan C.

    I have been to this restaurant twice now while doing some hiking in the area and have been pleased both times! The service is very friendly, the food comes out fresh and fast, and there are a lot of good menu items to choose from! If you can make it during lunchtime you can get a great amount of tasty food for not a lot of $$$. Before tip the burrito and lunch fajitas together were around $22 which is excellent for a sit down restaurant these days.

    #145: POLLO MAYA

    Always wanted to stop and try this place. Had my opportunity, while on the way to Logan Elm for Friday Night Football. I ordered the # 145. POLLO MAYA $15.29 GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST TOPPED WITH BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER, ZUCCHINI, SQUASH, & CARROTS WITH CHEESE SERVED IN A SKILLET. Positives: 1. Clean restaurant 2. Friendly attentive staff 3. Adequate salsa and cheese dip 4. Quick and rapid drink refills The description and picture looked like something I would enjoy. The food came out just as described. I only had a couple of issues. Negatives: #1. Vegetables were hard - not cooked or steamed. #2. The portion was pretty small. Not worth the price. In conclusion, it was ok - I would eat there again if I happened to be in RoundTown, but I doubt I would make a trip just to eat there.

    We stayed at the neighboring Castle Inn and were looking for s ok someplace to eat. We waded through a sea of fast food places before we found this gym. The decor was fantastic. The food was well a bbn over par. Service was great. The drink were the best. They have a large menu with something for everyone. Everyt hu ing tasted fresh not frozen or premade. The only downside was parking. There is some steert parking. In the back It was mostly reserved parking spaces.. There were some that had very ancient coin operated meters. I hadn't seen anything like that since I was a kid.. But other than the parking fiasco it's a great place.

    I tried the chili rellenos which were wonderful. It was my first time inside. Lots of cozy booths and tables. A patio in summer. I'll be back. It looks like parking is also in the rear if the Main Street of Circleville is hopping.

    4.8 stars out of 151 reviews?! Say less. I was working in the area and had the taste for Mexican…read moreand a beer. I sit at the bar and I'm greeted by something I've never had ever...chips served with 2 red salsas, a verde salsa and bean dip! Usually you just get chips, a small bowl and a carafe of salsa, help yourself. This set the tone that this would be different than usual. I ordered steak fajita nachos and a Modelo Negra. I powered thru the chips and bean dip like it was my job. And it didn't disappoint. Really fresh and flavorful. Nachos are nachos, right? Wrong. How they are assembled has everything to do with their mouth feel as they cool down. I've had nachos that come out looking amazing but as they cool, turn into a disappointing chuck of chips held together by shredded cheese cement. These stayed loose with crunchy bites of peppers and onions, and the cheese sauce coated instead of becoming cement-like. I always order the same thing when trying a New Mexican spot. If the nachos are good, chances are everything is good! So I'll keep the almost 5 Star steak going. I agree, some of the best Mexican food in Columbus.

    The food is delicious!! And they have margarita flights. Need I say more?…read more I'd recommend the Lupita's Special which has a little bit of everything! My friend got a chicken dish served in queso like sauce and it was really good, but I can't remember the name. (First picture)
