Tried to call for a to go order a few times and no one answered. Decided to go anyway and finding parking was almost impossible. Was excited to try the burrito and absolutely shocked it was $15 (plus tax). Ordered 2 burritos and a topic chico to go and the bill was $45?! Food was decent but not worth all the trouble or price.

Food was phenomenal and tasted very fresh. Very friendly staff and clean environment. Could not recommend more and am upset that I didn't get lunch here before.

Took my mother here and ordered beef nachos, along with, chicken tacos. Both had absolutely no flavor, and the meat tasted as if it had been sitting for a while. The nachos were the biggest problem, because, at 13 dollars, the proportions were very scarce. When asked for more chips, we were told there would be a fee, and that there were already chips there, when there were hardly any at all to begin with. Seeing multiple previous good reviews, the construction going on above, and around the restaurant may have affected this experience. As of now, I would not recommend at all.

Small, quiet, friendly restaurant serving awesome tasting food. After a long travel day and waking distance from the hotel this was perfect. Love the Naked Burrito. Will be back.

Finally ... I found Mexican food in Columbia SC. La familia es de Jalisco Mx. And this is the food I grew up with. Will be coming back again and again. I still haven't found a panaderia but I won't give up.

Hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The space is small but we didn't mind. We were treated well.

Food is great. Owner is a really nice guy. It's a great option for the downtown crowd who are on the go.

Myself and 2 of my co workers just left this restaurant for the 999th time. One of my co workers ordered and received her food and myself and my other co worker decided to split a dish. When my coworker asked for a some extra sauce the guy who took the order said there was a charge so she asked if she could get a empty container to put some hot sauce in (bc we saw 2 other people get some that way) he tapped his pen and said “ma’am you have to buy something” all three of them said “I/she did” and he still denied her of the sauce (in front of a crowd of people). We all looked shocked and said “oh ok” and walked out. So this will be our last visit. I hope his baby container and .0005 oz of hot sauce was worth 3 floors of people coming back because we are telling everyone in our floor about this experience. And let’s just say we work for a company that is VERY big on inclusion, diversity, and fairness!! I will also show the container she asked for!!!!

I am giving 3.5 stars to this place for the food ONLY. The food is decent)I’ve had better authentic Mexican) but for what it’s worth it’s decent. Prices are a bit steep for what you get, but of course that’s my opinion. NOW I would give them 0 stars if possible for the experience(s) I have had specifically with the older male that’s usually at the front taking orders. My 1st visit he was not helpful in answering my questions about their food. So I looked around at the pics on the wall and said I’ll choose from what I see. But when I did he told me that they don’t sale what’s on the pic. ? ok! So I ordered nachos & was charged for xtra crema & hot sauces. It wasn’t the “what” it was the “How”. Fast forward.. I visited again with two of my friends. 2 of us were splitting a meal. I asked for an empty sauce cup to get some of the Valentina Hot sauce that’s in the dine in area. He told me I had to buy something..we explained to him that we purchased a meal together. But he didn’t hand me a sauce cup, so I asked again. And he flat out said No.He was VERY rude, nasty, and unfriendly to both myself & my friend. I will spread the word of his lack of professional communication & demeanor. I have started with the office I work in. Everyone wants a great experience WITH their food! But I’ll take PEACE over anything.

I got a breakfast burrito here to go and it was great! The service was quick and the burrito was HUGE. The burrito came with one red sauce and one green sauce. I should have ordered more due to the size of the burrito. Seriously, I can eat a lot but I probably could have split it and shared it. You are definitely paying for the size of the burrito though. My order came out around $16 (burrito only). Altogether though, I will definitely go back...with a friend I can share with!?

Their selection of meat is amazing. Their tacos are authentic with just cilantro and onions. I had the carnitas and it was perfect. The birria was different than I've had before. I don't know if that was a regional recipe but I assume so. The guacamole was a little spicy, there were a jalapeños in it, which just isn't my taste. The chips weren't homemade but it was a very small kitchen. The salsa was delicious. The owner was super sweet and attentive. It's kind of hard to find because it's in a building that's being renovated buts it's worth looking for.
