Great local spot on your drive across SC. Authentic Mexican food with a Southern flair. Great and friendly service as well!

Lunch Menu Back 9/2022

This little cafe is easy to miss. Its beside a glass place and has no signage around the door. We stopped in for a late lunch and there were a lot if good things about this place. Pros: Good staff Clean We ordered three meals and some dessert. The opinions on the food were mixed. The mixed vegetables were good and so were the fries but they weren't the correct temperature. The waitress quickly fixed this and the cook sent out fresh fries that were good. The blackened chicken sandwich didnt have much seasoning so it was kind of bland which is the opposite of what you'd think when you order it. The fried chicken was good. Overall, we had a mixed experience but we would try again and order different menu items. The staff was efficient and friendly.

Just a  perfect breakfast out in the country.

TL:DR Uptown Hilton cuisine at Waffle House pricing. This restaurant seemingly doesn't belong in the SC countryside. I've been stopping here occasionally now for over a year and every time I am just wowed. Last time it was the Steak and Eggs breakfast, today was the combo(taste if everything.) The restaurant itself is in a small strip commercial building in the middle of nowhere. Looks to be an old auto service center. Parking enough for 30 cars. The decor is country craft store the seating is Waffle house. Super friendly family service, mom, daughters and maybe brothers in the kitchen? These folks care about their business and their customers. The menu is a bit convoluted with some ameri, mexi, louisiana dishes kinda crossing over. But everything has realy flavor and looks the part too. Strawberry slices and powered sugar on a thin, light perfect pancake. Homefries with some pepper kick, steak cooked properly and of decent size and quality for a breakfast. This food would be the the goal for in lobby restaurant at the Hilton Uptown. But not with the Hilton prices. Look this is a place that needs to be added as a destination if your planning a day trip south east out of CLT. Take the local roads and hit Grandmas on the way out of town. Take a few pics to prove they got some chops out in the sticks. NOTE: 1 star remove simply because of the self seating and table types, the food and service are 5's.

First time visiting my friend that is living in Lancaster, NC and she said this is the place to check out first. We picked it up to go and it was fantastic. I got the corned beef or Reuben on Rye with fries. Amazing portions and huge menu to choose from. We got there a little early so had to wait a few minutes but the energy and space was nice.. one of the servers even refilled my tea while I was waiting which I thought was so nice!

Looking for good, affordable Mexican food in Lancaster? I'd choose this place over nearby…read moreMariachi's any day. Why? The prices are comparably better, the staff is friendly, and the food feels a lot lighter on my stomach than the brick that Mariachi's always seems to deliver. The people that work here are very friendly. My dad goes weekly, sometimes with a friend, and they ALWAYS remember them as well as what they order! Not all of them speak the clearest English, though, but I deem that a seal of authenticity! Don't see exactly what you want on the menu? Ask for it! I usually get a single chicken quesadilla with rice. The plate is always completely full and steaming hot when it reaches me; it's just the right amount of food. And for how much? Something like $4. You can't beat that! My dad usually gets the buffet, which has a bunch of different options. He and his friend even like their wings, which is surprising for a Mexican restaurant. The buffet also comes with a dessert item - sopapilla, a fried tortilla with cinnamon sugar, with optional honey to drizzle on top. If you ask, they will put a scoop of vanilla ice cream to finish it off! :) Their complimentary salsa is DELICIOUS, made fresh, and can vary in spiciness depending on the batch that day. The chips that come along with them are light and crispy. Best ones I've ever had. Overall, if you're a Lancaster resident, I'd recommend you give this place a try. You may just become a regular! EDIT: And to address the naysayers - let's remember here that we're talking about cheap Mexican food in Lancaster, SC. You're not going to get 5-star quality, but that doesn't mean it isn't tasty!

We shared chips, salsa, and queso to start. The queso was straightforward -- no tomatoes or peppers -- so if you're expecting loaded, adjust your expectations. Still solid though. For my entrée I got the queso birria, and it delivered. Tons of cheese and meat, and all the toppings came on the side which I always appreciate. Decent choice for sure. They've added a bar area since my last visit, which was a nice upgrade. There were a few birthday celebrations happening and the staff made it a whole moment -- custom birthday song over the speakers and a sparkler. Simple but genuinely fun to watch. Our server was super sweet. She was excited to meet my brother and me, apparently our parents are regulars. That kind of warmth goes a long way. Good food, good vibes, good people.

They had fútbol games playing on the TVs, which added to the vibe and made it a great casual lunch spot. The tacos here are noticeably bigger than your typical street tacos, and most plates come with a full serving of rice and beans plus a little side of guac and salad, so you're definitely getting a full meal. Everything tasted fresh, but the standout for me was the tortillas. They're clearly made fresh and have that soft, slightly chewy texture you want. You can even buy them by the pound, which is a huge plus. Tried the birria taco, which is actually more of a quesabirria. It was massive and packed with flavor, though a bit heavy on the cheese for my taste. Still very solid overall, just something to keep in mind depending on your preference. Prices are a little higher than you might expect for this type of spot, but the portion sizes help justify it. Service was fast and everyone was very friendly. Just note that English is somewhat limited, but it didn't cause any major issues. Overall, a really good option if you're looking for filling, well-executed Mexican food with great tortillas.
