The ultimate embodiment of a boardroom-designed Tex-Mex restaurant . From the neon margaritas to the perfectly mild salsa , your mother-in-law and the kids will love it.
Get the veggie enchiladas with a side of rice and refried beans . Start with the queso and chips and salsa . Gigantic Corona Lights on draft are served in a frosty mug.
They have tasty food that is surpridingly spicy (in a good way), but the place is NOISEY when it's busy.
The best Mexican in town , and the most friendly and fantastic service anywhere. My kids love Lola, and she always has a hug ready for them!! Susana is awesome as well .
Excellent fajitas for two and awesome queso fundido . Good service and good prices. Yum.
Wonderful, huge menu! Excellent food! The fajitas are delicious. The #166, spinach enchiladas are delish. Large patio , great drinks, great specials, great place. Good value ! Read more
My favorite restaraunt in Columbus - GREAT patio , GREAT staff , Fantastic food...and close to my house! Make sure you're ready to eat...and get a pitcher of margaritas !
Amazing brand new patio !! Awesome staff . Get a pitcher (or 3) of margaritas !
Large tasty assortment of entrees.
Pollo Ranchero is amazing!
The fried ice cream should be called a sundae and the glasses are sticky.. and watch your bill....they didn't ad ours up correctly at all to their benefit.
This is standard Midwest USA "Mexican" food. It is passable, but they open the same cans of beans off the Sysco truck . Passable, especially if you have a craving.
The best Restuarant in their group.

Such an awesome restaurant ! Everything is good here!
This location is undergoing major renovations but is still open. I've always had fantastic service but the staff seem really disgruntled and are up to doing just the bare minimum.
If you're trying to have a good time get the Texas margarita........and make sure you have a DD
Watch the "happy hour " prices, they change.
