“Update!!I finally got mine!!I feel like i found a bag of money!!This food is so good im already planning my next order!!So, so, worth every penny!! You will only regret that you haven't ordered sooner. Seriously.I have only witnessed these salads and the other items offered. The quality of the ingredients and the taste( I got ONE bite) have made me plan a day to experience for myself. I offer this review as an in-advance show of love for someone who is clearly passionate and loving in their creation of food for other humans. Amazing concept and the execution is sheer perfection. Don't get me started on describing the moans I heard while someone was eating those eggs . I was soooo jealous. Ordering in advance is tough for some people, but let me say this...the only drawback you will see is how distracted you are waiting for the moment you receive your food. Amazing!”

El Indio Mexican Restaurant 1744 N Main St, Columbia Mexican • $$
1744 N Main St, Columbia

“I don't know how long this restaurant has been open for but I just noticed it recently and boy am I glad I did because it's literally less than 5 minutes from my house. The food is excellent my husband and son loved the chips and salsa and the prices are on point for this type of food. Portion sizes are good and everything always tastes great and it's always hot and fresh whenever I come in to pick it up. I've never eaten in the restaurant I've only ever ordered takeout but it's very very good and like I said close to my house so very convenient. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants typical Mexican restaurant type cuisine.Parking: The parking lot is pretty tiny and if they're busy good luck trying to find a parking spot in front of the restaurant although there is parking in the nearby strip mall it's pretty hard to find a parking spot and the parking lot is set up pretty badly so you feel like you're going to bump into the cars near you whenever you're trying to back out.”

106 W 7th St, Columbia

“I’ve been in search of a good health food store in the area since moving here and I’ve officially found it! Columbia Health Foods is a hidden gem. They’re very knowledgeable of their products as well as extremely helpful. I’m constantly on the lookout for stores that carry EWG (Environmental Working Group) certified products. They offered brands I haven’t been able to find anywhere else and even offered to order specific products for their store to provide what customers are needing. They have a wide selection of bath/body supplies, supplements, vitamins, teas, probiotics/prebiotics, and even a few grocery/fresh produce items. I was very pleased and can’t wait to visit again!”

“Some of the best fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp I've ever had! Also ordered it the second time it was so good! Shrimp was perfect and not overcooked. Also the fried ravioli was good and another wonderful appetizer was with tomato, mozzarella drizzled with a delicious balsamic vinegar. Great cheese cake as well. Go early! They open at 4PM and it fills up fast.”

Alex's Tacos & Wings 2202 Circle Dr, Columbia Mexican • $$
2202 Circle Dr, Columbia

“My family and I had dinner here and it was amazing. With so many Mexican options it can be hard to pick a favorite but this clearly our favorite in town so far. So far I have tried the wings, mojarra with adobo sauce, carne asada taco, fried rice, burgers and fries, chicken cheese and rice, tamales, and the menudo. All these options are wonderful. We have never had a bad meal here. The prices are decent too. This is perfect place to grab a bite. The flavor are unmatched. We certainly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed. The hidden gem is most definitely the fried rice and the wings!! Hands down the best.”

“Food was delicious, service was great, restaurant was clean, the only issue we had which is why I gave 4 out of 5 stars was bc our daughter got the kids chicken fingers and they were so burnt you couldn't cut them with a knife ot Eben pull them apart with your hands. It was not acceptable to serve this to a kid at all, not even an adult could've or would've been able to eat that. Do better next time and I'll change it to 5 out of 5 stars.”

“Great local place, and although we were from out of town and visited for a late lunch, you can tell they serve the local community well. They had advertised activities, retro arcade games, and daily specials for weekdays (would have liked to see a special for our Saturday afternoon...). The pizza was good- not the best I've had, but not disappointing either. We had the chicken bbq and meat lovers. Both were good, albeit a little crispy. I guess I'm more of a crust guy. For some reason the salad dressing was amazing. Weird, I know. I might actually drive across town for the ranch.”
