    Mexican coke and shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas.
    Nina C.

    The food was great. It was right next door to our hotel Pacer Inn and Suites (they offered a 10% discount). I have to be gluten free and the staff was knowledgeable and helped me find suitable options. We enjoyed the atmosphere. And I enjoyed a bottle of Mexican coke.

    Food was really good! I got the chicken fajitas with guacamole side. I love their tortilla chips with salsa. The chips taste so fresh and come warm. I also ordered a frozen like margarita with salt on the rim. Came really fast to my table which was outside on the patio. I visited on a Sunday around 8 PM. The waitress told me i could sit outside, gave me a menu and just let me go out to seat myself. Only issue, she didnt tell me where to go out at so that was odd and confusing if you have never been there you wouldnt know you had to go through, what looked like the kitchen/staff only area, to get outside to sit yourself. They were really empty inside and most people were seated outside on the patio but, my waitress never would come out to check on me. I ordered my food at the same time I ordered my drink because i already knew what i wanted. I would hope in the future they would check their guests for drink refills and also i really needed napkins the whole meal and couldnt get even one. My table was dirty and i had smashed food all over the ground around my table which she never offered to wipe my table or anything.

    Decent food and price. We had the tacos - shrimp and el pastor. Solid offerings and the atmosphere was fine.

    Wow, this restaurant is awesome! Stopped by with my son recently while in Columbus, and I am so…read moreglad we stopped! The wait staff was great, very attentive but not too much if you know what I mean. I think we were there for about an hour total, I had my drink refilled twice, they brought us more chips once, and my son liked his rice so much he ordered again, and the staff was all over it! I had the burrito diablo, and I was surprised that it actually had some heat to it! I am used to places saying something is spicy and that not being the case. It was nicely spiced though, not too hot. The burrito itself was covered in cheese sauce, it came with marinated chicken, and was served with rice and beans. The rice was good, as I mentioned my kid ordered extra, but for me, the beans were great. I don't know what made them so good, but there were really good. The chicken in the burrito was perfect, nice and tender and full of flavor. We also had a side of queso, that was very good as well. My only regret is that we don't live closer, or this place would go in the regular rotation for sure!

    We went here based on a friend's recommendation. The restaurant has a Polaris Parkway address but…read moreis barely visible from Polaris Parkway. It is in the row of shops and restaurants directly BEHIND the Krispy Kreme location. It is best accessed from Gemini Parkway. The decor is much nicer than your typical Mexican restaurant and offers a very nice dining experience. Being my first time here, I ordered one of their specials - a sampler platter with a burrito, taco and other items. My wife went for her favorite - a chimichanga, The food was excellent/delicious. The service was great. The prices were reasonable. We'll definitely be back. In fact, I've already booked a reservation to bring my Dine-Out group here in November.

    This place is new, might not be around long. Went for lunch on a Saturday. Very limited seating but…read morewe sat right down. Got drinks & an order of chips and salsa since it's not included like most Mexican restaurants. We left after 30 minutes when they still had not taken our order or checked back! Watched the waitresses at the grill window trying to get all the orders fixed. We never got food, we won't be going back! Update 1-16-26. Decided to give this another try, was close & in the mood for Mexican. It wasn't busy, 1 other table seated. Walked in & sat myself, looked over the menu while I waited for staff...and waited...and waited...and waited. Aaaand waaaaited!!! Seriously, nobody else there and after 5 minutes hadn't even been greeted much less served. The service here is terrible!!!

    Came in hungry, left full and with salsa on my shirt -- which is how you know the tacos were worth…read moreit. I tried a Steak Street Taco, a Shrimp Baja Taco, and a Ground Beef Taco. All three had flavor, personality, and just enough mess to prove they don't skimp on the good stuff. (If your taco doesn't drip, did you even taco?) For dessert, I went all in with the Cheesecake Chimi. Imagine cheesecake got invited to a cinnamon-sugar carnival and decided never to leave. Crunchy, sweet, and dangerously addictive. The service was fast, the place was clean, and my only regret is that I didn't order extra napkins up front. Verdict: Come for the tacos, stay for the chimi, and wear a shirt you're not afraid to baptize in salsa.
