      Stopped in for a quick bite while working out that way. Simple location with a nice atmosphere. Prices were decent for the dishes.

      Dine in the cantina or get to-go via the cafe drive-thru. Pro tip: get the rosada dip and anything covered in enchilada sauce.

      My husband and I came in for dinner. I had the taco platter and he had the combination dinner. The meat on both our plates tasted (and looked) like it had been sitting in a warmer all day. We have eaten here before and it's never been like that. It's definitely American style Mexican, so don't come thinking your getting authentic Mexican food. Price is reasonable. Margaritas are super yummy, waitress (Pat) was super down to earth!

      First to Review

      Stopped in on a Sunday night in Columbus... not much open. This place was our fourth choice. Typical "American-Mexican" food. Had the Taco/Enchilada plate... Soft taco was o but it was like something I would make at home. Spicy hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Enchilada was ok just as basic and old school. If I choice Mexican... I guess I like it a little more authentic.

      They did have a salsa bar with some good salsa's (the hot had some kick) so that was a plus. Price was reasonable and there was plenty of food. If you just need a plus to fill up.... I say come on in... but if you are looking for good, authentic Mexican, move on.

      Actually deserves 0 stars. Not authentic, not good and overpriced. Probably the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'm surprised I didn't get sick.

      Good food, Great staff. A long time favorite of mine, I have enjoyed the food and atmosphere here for many years. While not as authentic as many other restaurants in town you know you will always get a quick and enjoyable meal here. Also their salsa bar is a definite plus!
