    El Presidente Dinner part 1 Chicken Fajitas, Carnitas, Rice and Beans
    Richard M.

    The salsa (and chips) has a little bit of ZING... I like it but some people who don't like it a little spicy, they might sample a little first. I had the El Presidente Dinner (Chicken Fajitas, Carnitas, Rice, Beans, Beef taquito, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and a Chimichanga), there's enough food for two people if you fill up on chips and salsa while the meal is cooked. Even if you don't fill up, it's a good sized meal for just under $20 and you'll probably not finish. The service was good and the restaurant wasn't very noisy. I will come back again and would definitely recommend to a friend.

    As a family we were passing by during our travel. Was visiting the river walk and happen to find this Mexican restaurant close to river walk. Visited during the afternoon time, it was not crowded and we ordered soups and the other one was I guess it's kind of fajita. Overall the food was great and the quantity was really large for us. Staff was friendly and the place was clean. Definitely will visit again if I am up for Mexican and I am near the river walk.

    Our waitress was ok. Service just OK. Food was great. We ordered the Texas rice-perfect amount of veggies and meats. Requested side of pico it was good and flour tortillas, could have given us more than 3 minis. The queso is soooo good. Salsa and chips are always great. The cheese enchilada was ok at best. To saucy and super flat. Meh. The super burrito my dad said was good. We also ordered a pitcher of Mango Margaritas which we asked to be on the rocks but she brought it back blended. Way too much Mango syrup concentrate however the alcohol content was decent. Just too hard to drink what thick of syrup. The bar was packed full of people and seemed to keep the attention of the wait staff. I've been several times mostly for drinks after work. I love the outside patio in the eves.

    Dried steak and chicken. Burnt veggies

    Worst tasting Mexican in Augusta. Veggies were burnt, and doa replacement order and they were raw when they brought them out. Its crazy that the steak and chicken were over cooked tasted burnt

    The family and I at my cousins birthday dinner here at El Presidente

    Last month My cousin had her birthday party there. Everything was great to the food and service but I think I could be better with more help. They really need more staff especially at night. If anyone is looking for a job then they should definitely try their hand at applying. Oh, the place was really clean too! The manager and staff were amazing!

    So I tried another Mexican restaurant! I ordered the strawberry margarita with a sugar rim. I am sad to say that it was very Soupy. It was not good. The waitress was very nice to take it back.

    Food was amazing and margs were strong! Chips and salsa were good as well, appreciated getting individual bowls for my salsa!

    Under all this mess is beans tamale and an enchilada.  Can you see it??

    The food is mediocre at best and service by Yasmine G is horrible. The attitude I received when I asked for a non meat choice was bad.

And my Carnitas plate was tender and delicious. The menu is wonderful; great selection of food and beverages. My wife enjoyed her Texas Margarita with Tanjin rim. The restaurant has an authentic feel with Dia de los Muertos paintings, booths and tables for larger parties. Our server was warm and welcoming, answering our questions and bringing us samples of the pasta soup. Overall, I cannot say enough about Looks Tacos; a truly satisfying dining experience! Apparently, in addition to the location on Washington Road, they have another, larger location on Boyscout road with Draft Beer and a Frozen Margarita Machine... We cannot wait to check it out.

If you like true Mexican food then this is for sure where to go to. Very yummy and the server was very nice as well.

The steak was served hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The flavor honestly reminded me of the carne asada I grew up eating at home, which made it even better. The aguas frescas were also on point full of flavor and definitely not watered down like you get at some other restaurants. The atmosphere was great, the music added a nice vibe, and the service was excellent. The waiters were friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.

There is also plenty of seating!

To be expected, I suppose. I was able to be seated quickly (wherever I wanted). Chips and salsa were good. I saw outside they had al pastor, so I decided to order a taco. It was delicious. The fajita quesadilla was pretty good as well. I did not like the beans. I had ordered a margarita, reluctantly because there wasn't a price on the menu. It didn't come right away, so I think my server forgot to put it in. I saw her look and remember and it came with my meal. I could've done without it. Come to find out, it was as much money as my quesadilla ($13!!!) not worth the price. Not sure if they have drink specials certain days. Definitely ask. As I was eating, a gal came in, they set up a speaker and microphone and she started singing songs in Spanish. It was a fun treat, though I only understood some of what she sang. She had a pretty good voice. Definitely wasn't expecting the entertainment, but at least she sounded alright.
