  Don’t listen To the reviews. They are all wrong this place has some of the worst service I have ever had just for the food to take forever and be mid. Choose a different place of you can it will save you your time.

  Delicious!! Recommended by a friend with the convenience of being right next to the hotel. Would've enjoyed the atmosphere but it was later in the evening and I didn't want to make anyone stay late but will definitely visit again next time I'm in Columbus. Food was fantastic!

  Rice is great here, stopped in as it was convenient to my hotel on a trip. My carnitas were soggy and not crispy enough. Lots of grease with the meat. The service was friendly but they never gave us silverware, we had to grab some behind us and the restaraunt had an odd smell. My home state contains a lot of family owned, extremely great Mexican restaraunts and I eat the food often. This one did not remotely compare to authentic Mexican food, IMO. The food I am used to comes out still sizzling. We noted that our food was just warm but in no way hot.

  The service here was pretty good and the waiter was extremely nice. Our service was a little delayed but I wasn't in a hurry, so it was no big deal. For instance, we had to grab our own silverware and napkins from the spot behind us on the counter. The food was fine but not spectacular. It had a good taste, but the salsa was a little thin and the carnitas needed to be a little crunchier. The burritos was also only mediocrely warm, and not piping hot. Again, it was good food but at the same time it was nothing that stood out. If I had to eat here again, then I would without question. Although, I would hope the food is a little better next time.
