“Chanced to eat here as a pleasant day and they had outside seating. Their caldo pollo (chicken soup) was excellent. Caldo Pollo is a sentinel dish. If a place has good caldo pollo, carnitas, and tamale it's pretty certain everything else will be good. Also had a very good torta cubano. The extra spicy salsa (you have to request) was superb. Love the staff.“

“Definitely the best place for Mexican food In Columbia and I would argue within a good 50 mile radius. This location is small, but it’s definitely worth the wait if you have to. The price is very reasonable as well, considering the amount of food that you get.“

“A blast from my past. I live in the south and only get pancheros when I come up north. I was pleased to see it in Columbia so I had to visit. Queso tastes just like I remember. I think they should grill the finished burrito after it’s bobed and rolled. I think that would add a little more texture to the tortilla.“

“Visited for my sister's graduation dinner. I called to make a reservation and wasn't sure what time the graduation would end so I said 5:00 PM. The graduation was quick and we got there at 4:30. Even though the initial server assigned to our table wasn't there yet, they still seated us at 4:30. The menu was large (almost too large) with a good variety. We let the server know we wanted to split the bill 5 ways and ordered drinks and then food. Everything was pleasant throughout, the food was good, and no mistakes were made. They had a Jonas Brother concert muted on the tv.
Overall, would definitely recommend!“
