Nixtamal Mexican Kitchen

Me and my wife went after church on Sunday, and can I just say, This place blew me away. From the amazing food, to the colorful menu, to the beautiful restaurant and the amazing service from our server.
I can’t remember her name, the ticket said Melissa G, but she was phenomenal and very friendly. I ordered the Traditional Tacos Steak, with a side order of rice and beans. My wife had the regular soft tacos. We also ordered a cheese dip, elite trio, and a fruit plate. All of it came out correct and well seasoned. Also, a rare occurrence, the fruit tasted so fresh and good. My wife was beyond happy with our after church lunch. Thank you to everyone who makes this place what it is:)

The food was AMAZING !! The shrimp was the best I have had in a looooong time. The service was amazing!!!

Love this place! Very authentic Hispanic cuisine, excellent service and a beautifully festive atmosphere.

Daniela was absolutely amazing. Super super nice and she checked up promptly. Food was amazing, I had the Rey Burrito, it was really good. Pricing was very reasonable and I totally recommend Daniela for your next visit!!

I've had some terrible Mexican food before but this is in the top 3 worst. I've also had some bad restaurant experiences before, and this is definitely in the top 10. All around, I simply had to post the overall bad visit at this restaurant to warn other.

We didn't have any problems getting into the restaurant, it was mostly empty on a Monday night. Upon sitting (3 adults and 6 children), my wife and my sister ordered margaritas ($13 each). We proceeded to order our food and waited patiently. When the drinks arrived, both my sister and wife could easily tell that their overpriced margaritas had absolutely no alcohol in them. It's was 100% mixer. I notified the waitress who claimed that 3 ounces of tequila was in each drink. The entire drink wasn't 12 ounces, so this is clearly a flat out lie. After basically arguing with the waitress, she brought a bottle of tequila and proceeded to put a single shot into each drink. Both ladies proceeded to inform me that it was night and day, making it obvious that they are overcharging for mixed drinks with $0 overhead in liquor. Don't waste your money on the drinks. The table salsa is your choice of tomato sauce straight out of a great value can, or the hot salsa version that literally tasted like cocktail sauce. I requested a regular or hot salsa, but was told they only have habenero salsa. It was spicy, but completely unflavorful.

As if that experience wasn't bad enough, the meal comes out. I ordered a birria torta along with one of my daughters. This sandwich was so bland it makes a Publix sub taste like a 5-star restaurant. Everyone at the table except 2 of my kids wouldn't even eat their food. The chori pollo was a sliver piece of cheap chicken covered in oil. My entire family loves Mexican food, everything from So cal to tex mex. This was horrid and bland at best. We were warned not to come here, but my sister stated the owners had supposedly changed so we should give them a shot.....bad mistake.....

At this point, we were ready to leave and asked for the bill. The waitress tried to push a machine in my face without handing me a copy of the check. I had to request a paper copy to see why the bill was so high. She storms off and returns with a paper copy and THEN proceeds to tell me that she had took the liberty of adding a 20% tip to our check. That was the final straw. I knew I had to make this experience public.

Unless you've never had Mexican food or prefer cheap bland foods with absolutely no flavor, avoid this hole!

What a great place. Staff were very friendly and quick and came by frequently. The food was excellent, and the Cinco De Mayo beverages were well priced and great. Really liked the quaint ambiance. Will be back for sure.

This restaurant is way too good! Everything was so fresh and seasoned well. The place was clean decor was lovely and the prices were reasonable! I was so happy to see one of these restaurants in Simpsonville I have been to the greenville one as well. The food is quality from meat to vegetables. Staff were very kind attentive and food was hot and fast drinks were cold just great experience. My husband came out of the hospital and this is the first thing he wanted to eat!

Had another great visit. We had a party of 11 and everything was delicious. They nailed the order. Nothing was wrong or not delicious.

Currently 36 weeks pregnant and was craving asada tacos, with fresh guacamole and chips.

This place has never disappointed. They have the best food, but tonight, I was hit low with this order.

My husband ordered over the phone, and he went to pick it up. When he got back, the food looked good. Unfortunately, the meat was dry, not seasoned and chewy. I received 3, but I had to dress one up with sauce, lemon juice, and sour cream. Did that work? No, but I definitely will not be eating the other two.

The guacamole did not look fresh AT ALL. Looked like it was sitting out, maybe possibly someone else's order, but they never picked it up. Also looked like it was slightly eaten: Im not saying it was, but it looked like it. Completly bland, there was no salt, pepper, or anything that they put in it like when they make it in front of you.

I'm genuinely hurt by what I received.

good food and good service
