    Great tasting Mexican food. My favorite dish is mojarra! Fried fish, extra crispy! We come here for our Mexican food fix.

    The food is great here, staff is very friendly and helpful. My longtime favorite is the carne asada tacos but today I tried the quesabirria tacos and it was very good. This is probably the best Mexican food in North Augusta, South Carolina and Augusta, Georgia combined. Highly recommend.

    This is not "just another N Aug Mexican restaurant".. I received excellent customer service, and I got home to South Augusta with amaZinG Mexican food! No offense to the taco salad review but mine was perfect. The Fajitas Medina didn't have an absurd amount of veggies to meat ratio (like I usually see in this area). I will definitely be back! If you love fried fish but haven't given Mojarra a chance, it's $11.99 here and I highly recommend!!!

    Visited again with a friend... had the taco salad to compare to my first visit. Same, lots of grease and service could have been better. Waitress couldn't understand anything we asked. We will stick with Teresa's!

    the food is good and wasn't a long time for it to come.... would actually rate as 2.5 if I could because of the food. but service is lacking. saw waitress twice. to take order and then to take plates and tell us bill is at the bar... no check back to see if needed anything or if food was ok or anything.... ran out of chips half way into eating, salsa was gone .. guy that sat us and took order for drinks couldn't say what a small drink was and no attempt to describe, shrug of shoulders and pointed to someone else's jumbo and let me know that was a jumbo, but I hadn't asked that. anyway food was good service a few notches below chick-fila and a knotch above mcdonalds .. the atmosphere, inside is more like a fast food restaurant with more dining area , bright lights ....

Ordered an assortment of tacos/gordita including barbacoa, lengua, tripas, pastor as well as a queso beef dip and Jamaica as a beverage. Was pleasantly surprised to get some free chips and dip which was decent. Some of the chips were undersalted or a bit grainy/sandy tasting but the salsa was decent. Tacos Barbacoa (4.5/5): Their best taco for sure. Very tender pieces of shredded meat, not too fatty but still very flavorful. Reminiscent of the cabeza taco at la jaliciense. Tacos Lengua (4/5): Good amount of lengua pieces that are also pretty tender and tasty. All their tacos are salty enough, and I liked how the lengua pieces were cubed into smaller pieces than other spots. Beef queso dip (4/5): Rich queso with ground beef mixed within, a decent appetizer for sure and would recommend ordering this. Tacos Tripas (2.5/5): I asked before ordering if they would be pretty crispy as this is how I enjoyed Tripas in Mexico city, San Antonio, etc. and they confirmed it would be. When I received it, very few pieces were crispy and many of them were oily/soggy. Some tasted slightly burnt. Although the portion of meat was very generous, I felt the quality could have been higher. Gordita Pastor (3/5): The tacos pastor also had decent portions and was well seasoned, but the issue was that it lacked tenderness and was pretty firm. The jamaica was a bit too sweet. They provide beans if you order 3 tacos but will increase the costs to accommodate this, I would request no beans and just order the tacos a la carte in the future. Overall, it is still an authentic Mexican spot in North Augusta and pricing is fair, but I prefer La Jaliciense by a fair margin for the variety and quality of meat within the tacos.

My daughter stated she gives them a 20 out of 10. When we arrived they weren't busy but the crowd started shortly after. The establishment was very clean and chill. Our server was so sweet and the food was amazing! We ordered a large cheese dip for the table. My son and I are fans of empanadas and wr orders chicken and beef. I would have preferred cheese in mine and a little more seasoning in the beef. But, no worries, I added the cheese dip on top. My son and I also had the Burrito Grande with chicken; soooo good. My daughter had the Pizza Birria and it was delicious. She stated it was the best she's had and trust me she's had her share. My husband had the quesadilla el patron. For drinks, I started off with the Pineapple Aguas Frescas but traded it for the Mango one. The mango was better. My son had the fruit punch Jarrito, my daughter had the mango as well, and my husband had the Horcheta. Needless to say, we will return. This is probably our favorite now!

I love their abundant meat options, which are basically any meat and style you can think of. Their elote/esquite was ok and i think probably very authentic, but i prefer the (undoubtedly less authentic) version where it's just a little bit of corn in a huge cup of mayo. The service is amazing. They are so nice, and when our little one was having a rough time the waitress came over and tried playing with him and helping out. Every time a server would pass by they'd stop and smile at him and you could tell he was the most popular guy in the shop. The -1 star is just for the ambiance, which is fine but nothing spectacular. It can get quite loud, and the fluorescent lights are very bright and a little off putting. It's a fine place to get great Mexican food, it's just not the most pleasant place to eat.

Their chips and salsa aren't amazing but they come warm and crunchy with a slightly watery tomato salsa. If my rating was only for just splitting a large pitcher with some friends, it would be a solid 4. Unfortunately, the food brings the rating down to a 3. As someone from Texas who is very familiar with tex-mex offerings, I was not very impressed by the multiple food items I have had here. Any option with chicken essentially is very fibery, dry shredded chicken breast. Prices are more expensive than other mexican or tex-mex spots but with smaller portions. Pictured below is one of the items I got in the past showing the shredded chicken inside slathered with sour cream on the top. Sides of mexican rice or beans are not the best either. I have had the food 2-3 times here and now pretty much only order the beer if stopping by here with friends. It's far from my first or even middle pick when it comes to mexican food, but you can't get beer for much cheaper at a dine-in restaurant, and the chips and salsa are a bonus.

We know accidents can happen, but we hope more attention is given to how hot food is served, especially for children.

Honestly, it's pretty terrible. It's SO bland, tastes like canned tomato sauce and has a strange sweet, almost cinnamon undertone. And the chips are pretty sub par as well. Salsa is one of those things that can be so amazing, but when done poorly its absolutely awful. Be sure to order a side of guac, which always seems to be fresh with plenty of cilantro!
