Love the food here!! The burritos? Yum!! I've been here several times now, and I'm definitely stuck on these great flavors. A friend and I usually split a pork burrito and meat bowl. I'll start with the establishment/location. This joint is in the heart of the Whitehall/Columbus area. Yes, many years ago, Hamilton Road was chuck full of businesses, restaurants and shopping stripes. However, over the last 20 years, things have changed: businesses closing; higher crime; demographics. Since I'm all for the hidden gems, when a friend told me about this place, I was excited! First time I walked into this grocery store, I got confused. I didn't see any tables - was I in the wrong place? I had to ring up my friend and have him direct me toward the back left corner of the shop. The eatery part is not big. A few tables. Three or so booths. And a small stand with the register. That's it, nothing to gawk at. The service had always been good. Polite and fast. Both times my friend and I have gotten a pork burrito and #48 (starts with an M, but I forget what it's called!). The burrito has consistently been fantastic. Moist juicy pork. Great mix of toppings. You can taste the different components, too. That's a big deal-breaker for me: so many Mexican places serve burritos that have a homogenous taste. Nothing standing out. Not the case here!Here goes my best attempt to describe #48: it consists of thin strips of steak and chicken and freshly cooked small shrimp. Red and green peppers are mixed in with the protein. Mozzarella cheese is sprinkled on top. The cool part? These ingredients are tossed in a black bowl and pushed into the oven. Everything cooks in the bowl. The outcome is all flavor, every bite! The meat is lightly seasoned - the perfect amount. Oh yeah, almost forgot! When you're seated, a giant basket of chips and three types of salsa are brought out: the normal red salsa; a green Tomatillo dip; and orange tinted hot salsa to top it off. Authentic Mexican, folks :D

I was happy with everything except the paletas but maybe their stock is running low since the pandemic. Not sure but I was expecting much more variety. Also PLEASE check the back of the paletas before buying, some had 50% of the fat you need in a day

Showed up at 9:30 to locked doors. People are inside, saw me try the door, and no response. Time on the door (and online) is 10pm, so not exactly sure why they didn't provide service. Sucks, because we drove 15 mins each way to get here to pick up a few things. Won't be returning again.

Definitely one of the hidden gems of Columbus and by far the best Mexican food in Columbus! While the restaurant is at the back of a grocery store and isn't that well known, the food is incredibly authentic and flavorful! Would highly recommend!

Incredible place. Restaurant in a grocery store. Exotic foods in produce, meats, bakery, spices & dry goods. Dining area decor cost a star; but menu and service were 6-star! Generous servings of authentic Mexican dishes. Careful; salsas can be powerful! Corn tortillas perfect! Try something truly different!

The best street tacos I've ever had! Best kept secret of Columbus. No longer will I accept those chain taco places that over charge: Affordable and authentic! Don't be fooled by the grocery store in the front head to the back to the dining area! Spread the word!
