    Used to go there all the time. Last 2 times haven't been good and the last time the service was HORRIBLE. And I'm not paying $12 for a pre-mixed (in a machine) margarita. We, unfortunately, won't be going back.

    Best margaritas I have had this side of Cozumel. Appetizers were just right and the Mahi- Mahi taco I ordered was good, needed just a touch more sauce. Value was very good, I had all this for under $35, and left with a full belly.

    This has been and remains our favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus. The food is excellent! The tacos are far better than anywhere around C-Bus. If you like hot sauce, definitely ask your server for their two homemade sauces as they too are as good as the food.

    We’ve had the fajita before, and the meat was plentiful. This time it was all onions. We also felt rushed. The manager came and stared at our table like we were taking too long. We still had drinks and felt rushed.

    Drove across town past our usual Mexican joints in Gahanna to try something different for NYE and was not disappointed! I had the tacos and they were amazing (especially the Birria and the Volcan)! Others in the party had chicken fajitas, I burrito, and enchiladas. Everyone was vey happy with their choices. Now it’s going to be hard to settle for the places closer to home. Service was really great, and prices were very fair (did not feel gouged). Also, our waiter brought out two different types of housemaid, hot salsa, and we had to ask for seconds on both - they were that good!
