I had high hopes based all the good reviews, but man did this miss the mark for me. Atmosphere was not great, bright cold lights in the ceiling did not make for a good ambience. However when I arrived I was greeted immediately and seated by a very friendly server. The salsa was pretty good, but the chips were unsalted and overcooked. No salt on the table. No hot sauce either. I could have asked but I didn't. My draft Pacifico was good and served with a lime. I ordered the Mexicana Guacamole and had high hopes but it was bland and seemed to be missing salt and lime juice. Ingredients seemed fresh but had no flavor. The avocados weren't unripe but not really ripe either. The friendly server brought me limes but it didn't fix it. I ordered the Shrimp ceviche tostadas and another swing and a miss. I don't know why I ordered this but like I said I had high hopes from the reviews. This is the third Aiken Mexican place and I think I'm just done eating Mexican here. As an Atlanta transplant my tastes are just too bougie. ??♂️

The staff were observant, attentive and friendly. The food was great. I got the David Scallops dish with little seasoning, and it was wonderful. It was my first time here. I was heading to Aiken to find somewhere different to eat. When I saw the parking lot was packed, I had to stop. I'm glad I did.I have to say again, the staff were great. Everyone was on the lookout to see if anything or anyone needed attention. The interesting thing is that they did it without hovering or being intrusive or repetitive. Well done people!

Not bad for typical Mexican fare. The chips served were kind of stale but the salsa was really good, and the cheese dip had beef in it, which was good. My wife ordered a chimichanga but got served a burrito. Overall pretty good experience but disappointed with the wrong food.
