Starting off with the chips, hand cut, and tasting very fresh with the salsa that was pretty ok. We tried the birria tacos which were fantastic. The consume was on point. We also tried the Real Mexico Enchiladas with rice and beans. The rice and beans were actually really good unlike most spots. Sopa was great. We also got to try the chicken finger plate for the kids and couldn't help but notice the chicken and fries were actually solid. All in all Real Mexico lives up to the hype and is a spot that I'd come back to next time I'm in the mood for any Mexican cravings.

It was a mahi-mahi fillet with grilled shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, white wine sauce, and it was served with black beans and rice. The was so full of flavor! The fish was seasoned perfectly. The shrimp was grilled just right, to my liking. Omg, the mushrooms I could have eaten by themselves! They were juicy and scrumptious. Of course, the rice and black beans were good as well. I truly enjoyed it! Let me not forget the white wine sauce. It had a great taste, and you know I love a good wine! My husband ordered the Fajita Nachos. It was filled with corn tortilla chips, grilled onions, bell peppers, with cheese dip, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole and Jalapeño. Yes, it was a lot and he enjoyed every bite of it! The food was on point. We definitely recommend this place if you are ever in the mood for amazing authentic Mexican dishes. Great customer service, great food along with an awesome atmosphere:)

We ordered 3 small plates and the octopus. 2 of the small plates came out and were each missing a component that was on menu description. The tamale was a dry very benign item, that was needing some type of accompaniment. If you are looking for small portions at high prices, this is your place. The 3 small plates and the octopus with an ice tea and a coke was a little over $100 with tip. Columbia is severely lacking an upscale Mexican dinner option and unfortunately Coa continues the trend.
