Restaurantji's Hope recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“I tried a chicken burrito and it was great. The chicken was seasoned well and had perfect char on it. It had lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream on it. The meal came with a spice tray that had 4 sauces and a habenero onion chutney. The sauces ranged from sweet to VERY hot. Having vacationed many times in Mexico I can say that TaColumbus is the most authentic "Mexican tourist" restaurant I have found anywhere in the midwest. The staff was friendly and attentive.“
“Would highly recommend everything was beyond perfect absolutely favorite restaurant in town. Honestly didn't even know the place was there but we are definitely glad we found it. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. This place definitely needs to be all over the web and every social media. I'm not the one to really post on a website but El Popocatepetl needs to be blasted everywhere thank you very much for the amazing food customer service and once again food was amazing.“
“Very good food. The owner is in there everyday. He gets to know people personally and makes sure that everyone is taken care of. My mom and me eat here at least 2-3 times a month and it never disappoints. Best Mexican food in the state for sure!“
“This place serves really good food. Most of the other Mexican restaurants I've tried around here are actually Tex Mex, which is fine, but not really representative of what you'd actually get in Mexico. This one actually captures much better the flavors of Mexico. I especially liked the salsa verde on my chilaquiles -- it had the same brightness and heat you'd get in Mexico City. Their drinks are also homemade and delicious. Went with a group of people with various experience with Mexican food and everyone was very happy with what they got. The only downside is that they seem to really be struggling with staffing. One lady seemed to be doing almost all the work. She was delightful and incredibly helpful but clearly overwhelmed without enough staff to help her. Our food came out slow, with at least 20 mins between the first and last person being served, and needed several corrections to get right. I'm not going to detract a star for this on my first visit because the food was really that good and I want to be fair in case that was just a one off thing but I also wouldn't go back with a group of more than 2-3 people next time.“
“I love Starbucks and I love this Starbucks. I am not sure the exact date but went in a couple weeks ago and was surprised how dirty it was!! Not like someone was messy but dusty like it hadn’t been cleaned in awhile. I have never been to a Starbucks that was messy or dirty. I would give 2 stars but I hate to do that when I know this is unusual! When I used the restroom, I felt like I was in a dirty gas station. The dining room was closed so you would think it would be even cleaner than normal. The coffee was great though!“
“The food was delicious and very well priced. Their barbacoa is packed with flavor and their lengua is well seasoned and melts in your mouth. They also have a great selection of soft drinks, including Jarritos and a wide variety of Jumex juices. The staff was also kind and helpful and gave great service.“
“It was decent, the asada burrito was a good size and flavor but didn't come with sides, the chipotle shrimp had nice flavor as well as the beans, it was just a pretty small serving size. I did like the soft corn tortillas it came with. I don't remember another time I've finished a whole meal at a Mexican restaurant, and not felt full. Just something to know ahead of time that it's good if you're looking for a smaller meal. They also forgot to give us the guac we bought or any chips, which I guess might not be included. The green salsa was good and the red salsa was super spicy. Smaller place with inside seating, food came out for takeout pretty quickly (~15 minutes).“
“Fast kitchen and good food. Service is good...unless you get Romy. He's the worst. Last time he took our drink order and didn't come back. Someone else got our food order...and then Romy showed up at the end with the check. I gave a tip to the guy who did the work. We've had him too many times for it to just be a bad day.“
“The Tacos Aztecas are where it's at. I got three tacos, two were the Azteca style with nopales, cabeza and lengua. They were amazing. The third taco was a regular pastor. It was fine but not that great. Get the Azteca style ones. They were SOOO good.“
“My server, Julian, was freaking awesome. He did everything in his power to make sure my dining experience was good. The only thing was the food could have been better. It seemed like they just threw it on the plate with no care as to the presentation.“
“This place is always our go to when we want Mexican food. I highly suggest the beef tips taco salad. You are seated immediately when you step in and the staff is so friendly. Your drink is never empty and your food comes out insanely quick but still taste so fresh. Better than any of the mainstream Mexican food places we have been to!“
