Welcoming and friendly staff. Beautiful decor. Nice variety of vegetarian options. The vegetarian burrito was really tasty and very affordable! It was a pleasant solo dinner for me!

This is a super cool restaurant tucked in a corner of a strip mall type of deal. I appreciated the decor, cleanliness (even smelled clean) and nice staff. My Dad and I took a gamble on it for lunch today and we weren't disappointed! I will visit again, and I can't wait to drag my husband here for dinner. The food was really good, and we had good service even though the bar tender was also serving tables. The fajitas and chicken tamale were yummy. One complaint: funky tasting soda. That's the only one, though. :)

Food was fresh and tasted just amazing. Everyone in our group were happy with their choice. The amount is not much but just enough to satisfy your hunger. Although hungry teenager in our group needed another serving as he was extra hungry. There was a slight misunderstanding due to language barriers, but other than that the service was very prompt, attentive to our needs and polite. We barely had to wait for 10 minutes after the order. The location is hidden among other restaurants but it felt very spacious once inside. By the way - the chips that they served was one of the best we had so far!

I love authentic Mexican food. I am definitely biased here. Everything was very good. The margaritas are amazing. Salsa and chips were fresh and delicious! I devoured my main course.

We were greeted right away and seated quickly, which was a great start. The complimentary salsa was fresh and full of flavor, and we added the cheese dip—both were fantastic and set the tone for the meal. I went with the shrimp, chicken, and steak fajitas, and oh man, they were amazing! Perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area—great food, great vibes, and a great experience all around.

This is a really great Mexican restaurant tucked away from the fanfare of being on a main strip. The restaurant was spotless and there was plenty of seating available at noon on a Sunday. I got the Mexican Burrito Bowl with fresh jalapeño slices and it was delicious. The chips and salsa were also very fresh and tasty! With plenty of Mexican restaurants to choose from in Columbus, sometimes it’s hard to find the “perfect” one… this one though? This one is pretty perfect for me!

Visiting from.texas, it's hard to find good food outside of Texas lol, this place was very close to home, the food is amazing, salsa and queso is perfect! Deep fried cheesecake was spot on, and can I say the sprite is crispy haha. It was my last meal before going home. Just incredible! Atmosphere is very beautiful and cultured. A must go!!

We just happened to be driving by and decided to grab a quick bite here. The place was packed and after eating there we know why. The food was really great and the margaritas were perfect. We really liked their chips and salsa as well. The staff was always smiling and the service was quick too.
