    Carne Asada.
    Courtney W.

    This is hands down the best Mexican food in Sumter. Being from Texas we have very high standards on Mexican food and while it isn't Tex-mex... it's still very good. The food is always reliable and it's always cooked very well. The staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are affordable for a large family like ours. Better than mariachis, Yucatán, las palmas, and definitely better than El Paso. Give their carne asada a try and their birria!

    Street Tacos are A-mazing. My boy Drew needs a LARGE RAISE! I love the music and seated immediately.

    WARNING read fully! I will NEVER go back there again this was my 2nd visit here. 1st time food was fresh I had hopes for a new fresh tasting mexican in sumter WRONG!. This time the steak was very bad either spoiled or maybe even recycled as it was tiny tiny little chopped up pieces and some larger normal looking fajita steak strips pieces. We were a party of 4 and me and another person ordered steak and both orders were old spolied yuk! They redid order and was normal looking fajita steak strips and u could tell was fresher but still didn't taste that good as the 1st time I visited. I do believe they may be recycling the chips why else is there a tub of chips on bottom of dirty dish cart near the dirty floor and beside the bathrooms?! The chips we got were stale not very crispy im thinking there the recycled ones from the tub!? If the chips are recycled the steak may also have been recycled as it was old or spoiled and chopped up like chunky canned cat food. Seems very suspicious since once they redid order it looked like it should. . The waiter didnt know menu period or how to take the order without out looking at menu to write down what we wanted lol and got order wrong as they could barely speak english. They offered no discount on food just offered to redo it ,Go to margaritas and skip this one.

    I've ordered food on three different occasions. First time I ordered the chile relleno. I got a slither of a chile. Beans were good meat had flavor so I let it go thinking they just opened and they are finding their groove. Second time I ordered a beef burrito. No flavor, just meat inside a tortilla. The side salad was on the side but where are the peppers onions, seasoning? I wasn't going to give them another try until I saw they had menudo. Then comes to today's lunch. Menudo with very little meat, more bone, with no flavor, no hominy, and all juice. I paid 14.00 for juice basically. Chile quilles were bland and the speedy Gonzales lunch was bland. Meat had no flavor, the two table spoons of meat were bland dry and just the grease for flavor. The enchilada had very little sauce so it was super dry. Beans were good, chips were good. Thank you for trying but it will be a pass for me in the future.

    The food is pretty good and the service is great! The ceviche is always delicious and the birria tacos and pizza are a hit.

    Unpretentious, good food (needed salt), healthy portions, good prices. We were happy. No liquor license at this time (May 2024).

    Terrible service, and terrible food. I've eaten Mexican all over the US, and this is some of the worst I have ever had.

My 88 year old father in law comes here weekly not sure if it is the boomers sense of dedication or what but they all still stand by this chain. I ordered my food to go online. The curbside to go parking is located across the parking lot and there was like 3 spots to park in. Once I arrived I texted the number of my parking spot. The restaurant looked fairly empty but even after the pick up time no one came to my car. I saw other people parking and then going inside to grab their orders. I ended up having to go inside to get my order, upon walking in a young lady handed me my bag. The inside looked clean and the environment was casual. My order included grilled Mahi, broccoli and brussel sprouts with a added skewer of shrimp. The veggies were the stars of the meal the Brussel Sprouts were very good and the broccoli was fresh and cooked well. The shrimp were decent a tad dried out but not bad. The grilled Mahi was not good, it looked like it was grilled in water and had an awful smell from what ever was used to grill it. I took a few bites and the fish was flavorless and the smell was so overwhelming that I couldn't eat the rest. Even the cheese biscuits were mediocre. Amongst the many dying chains Red lobster is definitely on life support. I'm not sure how long a reputation can keep a business open but the food is not what it used to be. I wouldn't come back.

I've been here multiple times and did not like it. This trip was no different. We had a large group of 16 and it started there. Was told a 2hr wait. If we split in to groups of 8 we'd be seated in 45. Took this option. Actually got seated in about 25 minutes seperately. (A table of 8 that was right next to us was vacant and NEVER got used for the entire 90 minutes or so that we stayed at the restaurant so why not accommodate our group? - strike one) Our waitress I'm told was very chippy with an attitude toward some party members. (I didnt get any attitude toward me) but heard a few people stating how she was answering people's requests and how unpleasant she was. - Strike two. The food. I ordered the meatloaf nachos (which were good). I also ordered the fried pork chops w/ side salad. Loading up on fake bacon bits (like 1000 pieces) doesnt make the salad better. This is a hint to their kitchen. The pork chops were dry and the "red skinned" mash potatoes" (which I do not remember the menu stating that they were red skinned potatoes which would mean SKIN would be present in the mash. Otherwise I would not have ordered this. Whole meal was trash. Strike three. My 83 year old father said at the end of the meal "worst meal I've ever had". Which I had him repeat to the table just in case anyone thought it was just me. $700 with tip for the quality is a bit much. I will never ever return no matter what my siblings say.
