It…read morewas balanced enough, but ultimately forgettable--pleasant, yet lacking anything distinctive or memorable. The combo appetizer was largely disappointing and difficult to justify for the price. The chicken quesadilla was bland and desperately needed seasoning. The fritters were even more underwhelming, tasting primarily of fryer oil with no texture, depth, or discernible flavor. The lone bright spot was the chorizo-stuffed jalapeños, which were flavorful, well-prepared, and easily the best item on the appetizer platter. The accompanying chipotle ranch was also excellent and complemented them nicely. The salsa, however, completely stole the show. It's still my favorite salsa anywhere in the Columbus area by a wide margin. The complimentary chips arrived warm and fresh, an often-overlooked detail that made an immediate positive impression. The guacamole had a smooth, fresh texture but was noticeably under-seasoned and needed more salt. The portion size was also disappointingly small considering the price. The combination plate featuring the chile poblano and steak chimichanga was the evening's biggest letdown. The refried beans tasted as though they had been scooped straight from a can, while the rice was one of the few successes of the meal--well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and fluffy. The chile poblano was shockingly small, easily the smallest I've ever been served, and lacked any real character. The ground beef filling was bland, resulting in little more than a soft, flavorless mound. The steak chimichanga was equally disappointing in both size and execution. It was so small it looked more appropriate for a children's menu. While the steak itself was tender, it lacked seasoning and was excessively greasy. I found myself repeatedly pouring salsa over nearly every bite just to introduce some flavor to the plate. The Plato Loco continued the trend of undersized portions. Once again, the rice was cooked beautifully, and the meat itself was tender, but the overall dish was remarkably bland. Nearly all of the flavor came from the cheese sauce rather than the ingredients themselves. On a positive note, the extra tortillas arrived piping hot, fresh, and delicious. Unfortunately, the service mirrored the kitchen's inconsistency. Our server was largely absent throughout the meal. Drinks sat empty multiple times, our basket of chips often remained without salsa, and we repeatedly had to flag him down for refills and basic table service. This restaurant was once my favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus, which makes this visit especially disappointing. Whether the focus has shifted to the newer Phoenix City location or something else has changed behind the scenes, the difference is impossible to ignore. The generous portions that once set this restaurant apart have shrunk dramatically, and the bold flavors that kept us coming back have largely disappeared. Aside from the outstanding salsa and a few isolated highlights, this meal felt uninspired and poorly executed. It was a disappointing experience that leaves me questioning whether I'll be returning anytime soon.

The location is much smaller and tucked away and far less crowded. If you are looking for a quieter setting I would highly suggest El Carrizo on Macon! Wait staff can be spotty.

We already knew what we were getting so the ordering was quick and easy. Standard chips and salsa while you wait. The salsa could be better and a bit more spicy but they do have a spicy version if that's more your taste. We both ordered the carne asada dinner. I don't do the beans so I got a double serving of rice. The portions are decent so always enough to fill you up. Place is big and the noise level is normal. Nothing crazy. Overall I like this place and location.

Service started off a little bit slow, but I don't think there were many people serving tables and they were really busy. The food was pretty good, though we would've liked pork options. There were a lot of menu options that were different from other Mexican restaurants we've gone to. A pet peeve of mine is for servers not to ask me if i want dessert, probably because i almost always want one.

I said we haven't even got our menus yet. They gave us a lunch menu and I asked for dinner menu, we then were extremely rushed to the point where my husband just pointed at the Molly chicken dish and said can I at least get this and the lady said I guess if that's what you think then I was extremely rushed for my order mind you we haven't even been seated for five minutes and I was extremely uncomfortable, so I just shouted out the steak fajitas will be fine. They brought food out literally within five minutes and I could tell why it came out so fast because the food was old cold and tasted like it came from a dirty griddle. There was no seasoning no flavor no soul in these meals, the only thing you could taste was burnt on grease off of a griddle and dry meats. The rice with the Molly dish was absolutely awful. The tea we were served was unsweet when my husband asked for sweet tea glasses weren't even filled my pink tea tasted exactly like syrup. It was God awful some of the worst lemonade I've ever had. We had our place in front of us for two minutes and we're discussing the quality of food when the lady came over, rushed us again with the ticket I asked why the rush since we already got our food and she said we were closing it to so I was really confused if they knew they were closing it to why they would let us in the establishment, a little after 130? The ambience and the culture here is extremely awful. The floor is dirty. The decor is outdated, and the staffing is completely horrendous with how they treat new customers or customers in general the gentleman that want to take our order never even asked us anything except for what do you want to eat . We will never be returning to this establishment. The salsa was decent, but you could tell it wasn't fresh in the chips. Those were cold, too and Lacked salt ! Absolutely awful save your money and go to one of the other Hispanic restaurants !

I have lived all over the United States including El Paso, TX where tamales are a staple. It's Tamale Time has it right! The tamales were perfect. On Tuesday (my visit today) they offer three pork tacos for $5 and the veggie option is made fresh so takes some time to cook if you do order it. Customer service was amazing. He walked me through customer favorites and I ordered based on his favorite salsa as well. The tamales were delicious! Full of flavor and wrapped so perfectly. The salsa was just as amazing. I wish I could buy the fresca one I had by the jar! Overall, this was a wonderful place with wonderful customer service. There are so many other tamales I want to try and they also offer catering!! I wish I planned my day a bit better to grab more pictures, but It's Tamale Time is a hit! I love seeing this locally and can't wait to return! Delicious!

Well, Super Mercado Las Americas in Columbus, Georgia is a great example that that particular trend of good tacos in not so good neighborhood. The restaurant is located in the back of a time worn market. The furnishings, plates, knives and forks are all bargain basement or dollar store quality and the market is located next door to a place that sells new and used tires. But the food, as the memes and adage imply, is solid. I definitely have had better, but this place produces a fine product. I found the tacos better than the pupusa in the full entrees look pretty good, as well. Service is friendly, but I would not say that it is very professional. It appears to be more that they brought in family and friends to run food out to you. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it bears mentioning. All in all, this was a great stop for lunch.

Now I will say I am Mexican, thus the expectation of authenticity is high. The 4 star review brought us in, but definitely did not live up to the rating. The birria tacos were bland and the consome that comes along with it was water down. The molcajete was smothered in chili-bean like sauce. The grilled meats were bland and dry. The tortillas were probably microwaved. The chicharron in salsa appeared to have been cooked with the bagged pork grind bags. Absolutely a nightmare. The plain quesadillas were made with a cheese type that wasn't edible for kids. Two different kids couldn't finish it. The salsa for the chips was most likely pace generic brand. The salsas we got to aid the taste were all tasteless. Now there was some food a few people in our party were okay with. The chimichanga, grilled chicken and fries. To be fair considering this is in Columbus, Georgia perhaps the owners cater to the people around them. If tasteless if your thing this is the spot. One good thing is they sat our party of 14 down in a short period of time, and we saw a few other large parties. The ambience was family friendly. Ample parking and friendly staff.
