We decided to give La Huerta Mexican Restaurant a try. The restaurant decor was great. The service was great, but for our taste buds the food was a little spicy. If like spicy than we recommend you give them a try.

La huerta = LA AWESOME Amazing food and service. The atmosphere is fantastic. We had the fajitas for two and the guacamole was incredible. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Solid new option in Columbus. We were doted on by everyone in the place. Definitely family ran, they were very involved throughout our time there. We both ordered the #93. For $11.99 each plate we got a taco, chalupa, chili relleno, enchilada and tamale with beans and rice. The liquor license is coming; I look forward to trying a margarita here.

Fantastic and delicious food with great presentation. Amazing ambience and well decorated and clean environment. Service was excellent and very attentive.

We tried La Huerta Mexican Restaurant today and we highly recommend. As Texas natives it has been hard finding good Mexican food in Columbus and La Huerta definitely reminded us of home. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The place was very clean and had great songs playing in the background. Not to loud, great overall.

Burrito

Been here a few times, every time has been great. Friends and I got beef dip, tacos, huarache, burrito, horchata (comes in a chilled mug). Everything was great employees are quick, courteous. We got a dish to go and later realized they added a small salsa and bag of chips. Decor is not really a concern of mine but this place definitely spent some money on the booths, bar stools, tables and chairs, everything is nice and clean. I 100% recommend you go and try it!

Came here for lunch and unfortunately was very disappointed. There was literally only one other table being used in the restaurant and somehow it took us over an hour to even get our food in over 20 minutes even get drinks while multiple people of the staff are just sitting around on their phones, there was older gentleman vacuuming while we were trying to eat ordered the shrimp cocktail appetizer and it didn't come out until after our main course and we had to ask about it when we told him since it didn't come out before can they just cancel it and just take it off the bill and they said no it's been made. We just forgot to bring it out so it was setting already prepared, for God knows how long before it was even brought to us. The shrimp amount inside was ridiculous. I only counted for shrimp in the whole cocktail let alone any other filling. Besides just the liquid very disappointing. The steak fajitas are absolute smack in the face to fajitas, what plays has mushrooms in the fajitas, not to mention the steak was little thin strips of gristle with no flavor was hardly any steak to begin with. If I wanted to pay upwards of $20 for vegetables, I would've just got a salad my husband got a burrito that was only filled with rice and hardly any meat sadly with a cold sauce on top, but decent size burrito, the chips and salsa weren't bad but the chips were completely stale. We would not come back to this restaurant.

Side plate for fajitas. Enough for a meal itself. Beans were really good- not too soft or watery

Delicious food and great service. The restaurant is hidden in the back through the store. Good…read moreprices and large portions.

The entrance to this unassuming spot feels almost deliberately off-putting at first--plain facade,…read morea sign directing you to a side door that leads straight through an attached market. It's a clever (or perhaps just pragmatic) setup; that market itself is a gem, stocked with an impressive array of authentic Spanish and Mexican goods. We'll definitely return for provisions alone. Inside the dining room, the space is spotless if somewhat dated--simple, no-frills decor that prioritizes function over flair. Our server was cheerful and energetic, a bright presence, though service proved inconsistent; she largely vanished after taking our order, leaving us to wait an inexplicable 30-plus minutes for food despite only two other tables occupied. When plates finally arrived, the portions were strikingly generous, almost comically so for the price point. We began with the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa carried decent freshness and a mild kick, but it wanted for seasoning--more salt, a bolder hit of garlic and cumin would have elevated it from passable to memorable. No refills appeared, which felt stingy given the "free" promise. The horchata, however, shone: creamy, deeply flavored with cinnamon and vanilla notes, refreshingly cool and well-balanced--one of the better versions I've encountered recently. The carnitas dinner plate delivered on volume: a mountain of moist, crisped pork that had all the textural appeal one hopes for--tender interior, satisfying crunch on the edges--yet it arrived curiously underseasoned, lacking the salty, savory depth that should define the dish. Homemade refried beans were a highlight: smooth, flavorful, clearly made in-house with real care. The Mexican rice held good seasoning too, though it verged on dry. Steak fajitas followed the same pattern--giant heaps tender strips of beef and soft, well-cooked vegetables in generous heaps, but again, flavor felt muted, as if the seasoning hand had been unusually light. It's puzzling: everything executed competently, meats tender, produce fresh, yet the palate kept searching for that missing punch of spice, acid, or salt. No where else in COLGA gives this much steak, so very grateful. The shrimp cocktail appetizer (small portion) justified its price through quality ingredients--clean, plump shrimp in a classic tomato-based sauce--but it was straightforward, nothing transcendent. The queso fundido with chorizo fared far better: authentic, house-made chorizo with real spice and depth, melded into creamy, stretchy queso that felt genuinely homemade and deeply satisfying. Desserts redeemed much of the meal. The tres leches cake was textbook--moist without being soggy, richly soaked in the three milks, properly sweet and authentic in texture. The chocoflan, though, was the standout: flawless layering, silky flan with just the right caramel note, dense chocolate cake beneath, executed with evident skill and genuine flavor. In the end, this place offers undeniable value through abundance and some authentic touches (those beans, the queso, the desserts), alongside a market worth the trip alone. But the persistent lack of seasoning across the savory dishes left the experience feeling curiously flat. It's hard to muster enthusiasm for a return meal when so much potential goes unseasoned. Still, another visit to explore different menu items isn't out of the question--perhaps the kitchen's bolder preparations will hit the mark. For now, it's a solid neighborhood option for quantity and certain homemade elements, but one that needs more confidence behind the seasoning to truly impress.
