    I gotta make sure I visit this place more often! The menudo was delicious. Not only, can you eat Mexican food but you can also shop on their grocery side they have a variety of Latin foods to choose from.

    Beef short rib, no beans extra rice

    Food, and service was great. Best hole in the wall in Columbus, GA. Food is very authentic! Workers are great and attentive, a small language barrier but never an issue. I always order the beef short rib with no beans extra rice. The tacos are good as well especially the chorizo, al pastor, and carne asada. Literally the best Mexican Restaurant in Columbus

    Good Mexican food that comes put of a very humble Mexican markey. I had a burrito and two tacos and everything was very good. Service wasn't the greatest, but the food was solid and made for a pleasant dinner. I had a steak burrito, a pork taco and a beef head taco. I thought the tacos were a better value, but both were excellent. If you find yourself in Columbus, Georgia and want cheap tacos, I would recommend a visit here.

    Barbacoa de borrego   Lamb very good.

    Hispanic grocery store close to a military base. What else do you need? Grocery / Carneceria / restaurant Not only Mexican products but Goya as well Fresh produce Hispanic refreshments I.e. Jarritos, Malta, ect A lot of quality meat to choose from Ample parking Def worth a visit

    The chorizo dip is the bomb!

    We took somewhat of a scenic route home from Orlando to Memphis and this was our dinner stop. I guess it's Columbus Georgia and Columbus Alabama. Two states. One city. The river is the state line. The state line is the time change. It takes an hour to cross the bridge going east, but you lose an hour going west. That seems a bit odd and confusing to me for some reason. But this was a great place for Mexican food. The pictures tell the tale. This is a grocery store and a restaurant all in one. It is a bit confusing as the big sign out front says it's a laundry mat. I don't get it. We asked for a cheese quesadilla and fries for the little one. The waitress seemed confused and we figured out she thought we were asking to make a quesadilla with fries in it. Lol Once the confusion was cleared up, we got what we wanted and it was all superb.

    No TV?

    Epic Yelp failure! Don't know what the 100+ reviewers know about Mexican cuisine, but it must be very little. Atmosphere is the back of a market in the barrio. Service is we had to ask for a glass with ice for our Pepsi twice and they completely forgot the tamales we ordered. Food is the weirdest enchiladas and worst fajitas ever. The only positive is the quantity, but can't really call a large quantity of bad food a positive. I've lived in AZ, TX, and CA so don't call me a gringo. This place will fill you up. But with one star food.

    Chicken and steak tacos

    This place is a hidden gem! It's located in the back of a supermarket so you will have to do some digging for it. We came in on a Tuesday evening and it wasn't busy at all. Our server didn't understand much English but she was very sweet and accommodating. We ordered the tacos, short ribs, and fajitas. The servings are huge for the price. It was definitely one of the most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. I love how the place offers a variety of different sauces to pair your food with. We were pleasantly surprised to see hoisin sauce on the table. The only downside is that this place doesn't offer alcoholic beverages but they did have a variety of non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. Highly recommend to stop by here if you're staying near the base.

    Ordered a Mexican Coke which is how it's labeled on the menu and got a canned Coke. It took 25 minutes for my chicken burrito to be served. It was warm, not hot, and the cheese was not melted. It was just "meh". And we had to ask for the red and green sauces. I like to support places like this in my community, but I don't think I can come back. We used to come here a lot for the take away ceviche, but this experience just left me feeling like they didn't want my business.

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

    Outside of the west and border states it's hard to find good Mexican food. This place is awesome and has many great options to choose from
