Best tongue tacos in the Columbia area with excellent service by the staff. Anytime I'm looking for street tacos, this is the place!

One of the best mexican places in town. The oso especial is always delicious and their meats are always flavorful. Their patio is pretty big and has a great vibe. Their margaritas are really economically priced and you get a good size and they are also all delicious. Service is always quick - we've never waited more than 20 minutes for our food! Will always be back!

Pretty good Mexican restaurant in Columbia. It gets crowded here on the weekends, mostly college students. The food has been consistent, tex-mex type food. The street tacos are my favorite, go-to, pretty authentic. The service has been good overall. The margaritas are basic, not bad. - Mexican street tacos (4/5): solid street tacos, good portion size and good price. Meat is cooked and seasoned well- Chicken, cheese, and rice (3/5): basic, nothing special. My fiancé liked the dish but would probably not order againOverall, would come back for the tacos.

Sorry I forgot to take pictures. First off, we were starving , so dug in right away. We happened to walk in off the street as the place we picked had an hour long wait, and so we walked looking for something else and it was pouring, and this place seated us right away. Seems to be filled with college kids! The chips are homemade! They were served warm! Very exciting as I don't think I ever had warm chips before! And the food was standard Mexican fare, and they had a separate vegetarian section, but the people are so friendly and wonderful! I definitely would recommend this place! The other tables around us were raving about how great their food was! So I guess the meat is phenomenal!

Very much traditional Tex-Mex. The chips are fresh and the salsa is good too. The tacos are ok, what you would expect at a place like this. The California burrito was covered in cheese and was tasty. The mango marg was good as well (bonus points for having pebble ice). The sopapillas were pretty good. Service was quick even though it was quite busy.

Never disappoints. Their tacos Al pastor are always incredible. Their agua de horchata is so authentic it reminds me of my childhood! 10/10 would recommend for anyone who wants to try some authentic Mexican food.

Food is great. Had the Enchiladas Suprema. Delicious. Margaritas are good too. There's a reason it's sometimes hard to get a table there. Pulled one star because carry out orders are a crap shoot and can take forever!

Ordered a strawberry daiquiri and when I received it, I noticed something in the glass. I dug it out with my straw and to my utter disgust, it was a FINGERNAIL Completely lost my appetite, and on top of this, the service was horrible. The waiter was snippy and not nice. Will not be coming back. This is disgusting.
