Amazing, fresh food with super delicious seasoning! Loved the street tacos and yummy shrimp dinner. Travelled over 30 miles for this authentic Mexican meal. The drinks were also great! Going back often!

The food was great as alway. However, our server was less than attentive ( which was a first ). Other servers overestimate us additional chips and depletions water. Not sure where he was.

I really enjoyed my meal. We got the salsa, guac and queso appetizer with tortilla chips. Guac and queso were AMAZING but the salsa tasted like VERY heaving tomato paste, like tomato sauce. I ordered a few tacos. Shrimp was one and delicious. Al pastor was the other, it was good but not the best so next time I'll get both shrimp. My husband said his wasn't that good. I think he may have gotten the pork or chorizo one.

Our server was very nice the atmosphere is great but there is much better Mexican food out there. Food was ok and on the pricey side. More trendy Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican cuisine. I am glad we tried it but not in a hurry to go back.

Going for dinner at 4:30 really hits the mark on several levels. One, the noise level with no crowds is perfect for conversation and service is at an excellent level, since there are fewer customers at a later reservation time. Food is prepared with utmost attention to detail and is served as needed and hot, which also raises the level of satisfaction. My husband and I love going in early for these reasons!

Ordered: Cantina Trio with Chips: it was amazing! The Queso is quite nice, the seasoning adds great flavor and a touch of spice. The consistency of the Queso is good (it’s not thin, nor too thick). The salsa is fresh with the right amount of acidity that compliments the Queso and Guacamole. The guacamole is by far the best I’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. The ratio of cilantro, tomatoes, onion and acidity is perfect! (Great choice as a starter to pair with a drink at the bar)Shrimp taco: honestly, you have to try it. It’s perfect! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the toppings were fresh and compliments the sauce that comes on top. Add some lime juice and you’re golden!Prices: very fair! You get a good amount of food and the quality is exactly what you hope for! I left feeling full and refreshed. Nothing was greasy, all ingredients were fresh and left me feeling satiated and satisfied.Drinks: Strawberry Fizz great drink and goes really well with the Cantina Trio. If you’re looking for a drink, that’s made well and compliments the flavors of the food, give this one a try! It’s not too sweet, but provides a perfect flair to your palate as you’re working through your tacos and guacamole.Ginger lime Agave: It’s nice and balanced between sweet and bitter. If you like sours on the touch of fresh and earthy with some sweet, you’ll enjoy this!Staff: the Host was kind, friendly and very courteous. We were sat quickly and efficiently!Bar: the bar tender was great (Richard), drinks were made quickly, he was very personable and gave great recommendations for drink and food choice. My food came out at the right time (long enough to enjoy my drink on its own, and with the food) it was great timing by the kitchen staff!Atmosphere: the music wasn’t too loud, which is perfect for a nice dinner with drinks and friends. The lighting is great, just bright enough that you feel homey and secure while eating. Restrooms were clean, smelled nice and they provide complementary sanitary products for female guestsIf you’re in the area, passing through, or would like to get out of the bustle of Columbus, grab some dinner or a quick bite with a few drinks here! I’ll be back for more ☺️
The only negative thing is sitting close to the door where people come in and out frequently, it was cold. The food was great and our server, Jake was excellent. We will keep coming back!

Stopped in today for lunch and discovered a true gem. We were seated by a very friendly server right away. Immediately after the place became very busy. The servers worked like a well-oiled machine attending to guests, filling drinks, delivering appetizers and meals. Our table ordered the trio of dips, which seemed to be a very popular item. It was salsa, guacamole, and queso that we topped with chorizo (highly recommend) and, of course, chips. It was so satisfying. Our party included my very old school 80 year old Mother. She ordered and loved the Burrito bowl pork carnitas. My sister had the shrimp and veggies and said it was fantastic. I had the grilled pompano pepper chicken and bacon plate and it was divine. The only item we ordered that we didn't enjoy was the pickled veggies. They were mushy, and unappetizing. The atmosphere is artsy and welcoming. I highly recommend The Flying Pepper

Restaurant was very cold!! Probably about 60 degrees or less. It was about 15 degrees outside, but where was the heat. Food was excellent and not your typical mexican restaurant food. Something truly better and unique options.

Went to Flying Pepper today for my daughter's 11th birthday. Not only was the food amazing, they made a really impressive mocktail for the birthday girl.
