I have been to this restaurant three times and the food is good, I always order fried tilapia and it is delicious.But the waitresses and most of the staff who work there have terrible service.They have a very rude attitude, I made a takeout order and they forgot to pack me the flan, then I come back for it, and the lady who served me very rudely gives it to me, when I always had a friendly attitude towards her.Honestly after today, I will not return to this restaurant.It doesn’t cost you anything to be kind to people.
I was so happy the food was not bland.Authentic dishes.I could eat here every day. My chicken enchiladas with green sauce has so much flavor in the meat & sauce.Rice perfect, not dry, and the beans were good too.My husband was so happy they weren't watered down.That's usually the way we tell if the restaurant is good or not by how bad the beans are.Totally recommend! Great price.
Delicious all the way around Mexican spot.Ordered a barbacoa burrito and 3 different meat tacos.I've had a few taco trucks here in West Columbus, but this has to be the tastiest.Barbacoa had a good blend of fat, making it less chewy.Rice was a little under-seasoned.The fish taco was excellent, with a splash of lime and verde salsa, was on point.The chicken was over-seasoned but still delicious with the tortilla.Will return for more for sure. Only negative that I'll point out are the patrons I encountered were extremely rude and offensive.As I was trying to enter the place, there was a drunk couple laughing with other patrons inside, blocking the door - as I was eyeing him, waiting for him to move, he looked me up and down and wouldn’t move until moments later.Another patron sitting in the car waiting for his friend from inside was giving me a glaring squinted stare.Not sure what I did other than go pick up food, but seems like they were insinuating that I don't belong there.(I am Arabic and light skinned, maybe that's why?)
