    Chips and salsa
    Chris R.

    Some of the better tacos I've had here in Columbus. Located in the back of Mexican market, it is inevitably authentic as can be. I ordered 4 tacos - shrimp, steak, carnitas, and chicken al pastor, all had cilantro/onion toppings. Bill totaled to about $8. The meats were all great, with the steak being the only one I wouldn't order again. Chips were nothing special but the salsa variety was nice. The tacos were a little on the dry side, but were fantastic overall. Would recommend for a quick meal!

    Sides!

    Best hole in the wall authentic Mexican food in Columbus. Looks aren't everything. On the weekends they have Menudo, you haven't lived until you've tried their Menudo. Their beans and rice are near perfect. Their Shrimp cocktail had the best flavor. We're very happy as being transplants from Central California moving to Central Ohio we still feel at home. The service isn't always the best but it's definitely worth the wait. The food is of good quality so we don't mind the wait. Tonight there was only one server but she was working really hard. She got to us when she could and brought us our food within 10 minutes. So really it wasn't much of a wait. Our experiences have always been positive!

    Chicken, Al Pastor, and Steak Tacos, with chips and salsa.   Sorry that they didn't have carnitas today.

    Excellent food, Great Value, Imperfect Service Got three tacos (steak, al pastor, chicken) which were all pretty decent. The meat was a little dry; I think Hass and Los Guachos are still a little better based purely on quality. Shame they didn't have carnitas today. But the meat and topping portions were generous, and the free chips and salsa were a really good touch given how cheap the tacos were already. Salsa is really spicy, so be prepared (but you should still try)! The tortillas were the highlight of the my meal: they're corn (or at least mostly corn), but they have these billowy air pockets in them that them easier to eat and handle. Freshly made, and absolutely delicious. Slight issue with the service. Did not get silverware with my meal, which made it hard to scoop up the meat that had fell from my tacos. Also, they did not ring up my takeout portions separately from my dine-in meal, so I ended up paying tax on that. It's not a big deal given the value, but it was slightly annoying. Would definitely come back, and I'll be proactive on the silverware/takeout tax issues next time.

    Don't be fooled by the entrance to this spot. The restaurant is hidden inside a Mexican market and it's the real deal. Doesn't get much more authentic than this. Once you sit down you can easily imagine you are in a neighborhood diner spot In Guadalajara. Service is fast and they have a cooler filled with a great selection of Mexican beer and drinks. I had the weekend special Barbacoa tacos which were really good. The fish and chorizo tacos were a step down from the Barbacoa but the fresh salsa had such a kick to it that everything tasted wonderful with that stuff on it!! My wife had the chicken enchiladas. The presentation was really colorful with Avocados, lettuce, tomatoes, rice and beans all covered with Mexican sour cream. Very tasty. And finally we had the banana chimichanga which was terrific! It was a real surprise to the end of the meal all covered with Mexican whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate drizzle Topped with a cherry! Crazy good. Get to this place. You won't be disappointed!

    Michoacan style special steak

    Seems like a lot of delicious places are in the back of markets (Arirang, Lotte,etc.), but that makes sense right? They have fresh food that they cook right there from their selection of groceries right to their kitchen. I found this place from alteatscolumbus.com (best foodie website for Columbus in my opinion) a long time ago, so I finally decided to stop in for lunch. You have to go straight towards the back and turn right into the dining area past the groceries. I debated whether I was going to be seated or going to seat myself; I did the latter since it's pretty casual. The server came and took my order. I ordered the horchata and MIchoacana style steak under specials I believe. She came out with chips and salsa as well as a little cup of spicy noodle soup with beef (don't know what it's called). I think it's just a starter that they have for everyone, but it was delicious! The horchata was a bit sweet for me. I prefer the slightly less sweet versions, but it ended up balancing ok if you're eating spicy food. The steak came with was flavorful but might have been slightly overcooked because it was a little tough. The server didn't ask how I wanted the steak cooked either. I've heard the carnitas and menudo are awesome and only on the weekends. I'll definitely be back to try other things on the large menu and probably check out the rest of the grocery store as well. If you enjoy Mexican food, it's worth trying!

    Chicken flautas! Covered in crema, lettuce, avocado, tomato and cheese.

    Well, let's start this off by saying my girlfriend and I love going to ethnic grocery stores and we LOVE it when there is a random restaurant in there to eat at as well. So needless to say, when we found this place so close to our house, we were dying to try it. I ordered some chicken flautas. They were covered in a good amount of lettuce, tomato, cheese, crema, and beautiful avocado slices. The chicken inside the fried tortillas was a little on the dry side, which made me feel like the dish needed more crema. But overall I enjoyed it and thought it was more than plenty for the price. They have a decent selection of beers available to you in bottles. We had a strange waitress, but overall not a bad place. Probably a lot of good food there. When I go back, I would like to try something different because I'm sure with their access to fresh meat and produce, all of their dishes will be great.

    Mysterious yet delicious starter soup and chips and salsa. And corona. Duh.

    Oh my was that a load of meat! I ordered the Italian sandwich and the meat was quality grade stuff…read more It was literally pilled high like Smokey Bones meat sandwiches you see. The tomato on the sandwhich was huge, so I believe that they use like beefeater tomatoes, because those are the biggest grown tomatoes I can think of. Accompanied by their sauce with the meats and cheeses. I should have expected that when ordering an Italian! The last time I ate an Italian it was the leaner kind from Subway. Not the hefty meaty portion I got here! If you're looking for quality meats sandwiches look no further than Kenny's Meat Wagon!

    I have food truck anxiety in that whenever I come upon a food truck for the first time, I get…read morenervous that I won't see it again for quite some time, and so I order way more food than I should. I also spend way more than I should, but in the case of Kenny's Meat Wagon, $14 for two sandwiches didn't break the bank too much, but it did almost put me into a food coma. I've had several chances to check out Kenny and his wagon, but I just never gave it a chance. Today was that day and what a great day it was. I could smell the grill from a ways off, especially the Chicago style Italian beef he had sitting there marinading. The menu offered for regular options and two specials, one being a Veggie sandwich. I had to figure out how to try a bit of everything without overdoing it. I went with the Italian sandwich, which had a thick slice of Genoa salami and pepperoni on it and a pile of the Italian beef covered in veggies and spicy mayo. This.. should have been enough for me, but I had to get the Corby Dog too which was a 1/4 lb hot dog topped with pulled pork and homemade BBQ sauce and purple slaw. All the meats are local, and the awesome bread that it comes on is too. I downed that Italian sandwich pretty quick even though it was quite a bit of food and started to get the meat sweats. It was so good, but Kenny's not messing around with his meat, and you'll probably want to take it slow. As far as the Corby Dog, I saved that for later. About 15 minutes later. It was absolutely delicious, and the BBQ sauce mixed in with the sweet peppers and grilled onions was really tasty. I wanted to get this review out here before I fell asleep at work, because the food was just so good. I see now why he won an award at the Columbus Food Truck festival. He's also selling OH Chips! If you find him, you have to give it a try. The Facebook and Twitter pages are updated daily, so that'll be your best bet!
