This place serves really good food. Most of the other Mexican restaurants I've tried around here are actually Tex Mex, which is fine, but not really representative of what you'd actually get in Mexico. This one actually captures much better the flavors of Mexico. I especially liked the salsa verde on my chilaquiles -- it had the same brightness and heat you'd get in Mexico City. Their drinks are also homemade and delicious. Went with a group of people with various experience with Mexican food and everyone was very happy with what they got. The only downside is that they seem to really be struggling with staffing. One lady seemed to be doing almost all the work. She was delightful and incredibly helpful but clearly overwhelmed without enough staff to help her. Our food came out slow, with at least 20 mins between the first and last person being served, and needed several corrections to get right. I'm not going to detract a star for this on my first visit because the food was really that good and I want to be fair in case that was just a one off thing but I also wouldn't go back with a group of more than 2-3 people next time.

Hacienda-inspired decor brightened with color and welcoming staff. Although not five-star worthy the food is tasty. I recommend the Cubana Torta, Taco al Vapor or Elote. It's a casual place if you want something specific in the Mexican cuisine since they have a fair amount of options.

As a vegetarian there are always less options for me. Did a takeout order of veggie tacos from El Rincon today and hands down one of the best I've had in a long time. Plus a little slice of a delicious Tres Leches cake makes it perfect. I also like the ambiance of the new location. Will be back for a dine-in. Marking them as one of my go to Mexican places in town.

Well we found a new favorite here and it is one of the best dishes in Columbus. The TORTA CARNE AL VAPOR is amazing, with shredded beef that is deliciously moist and tender. It is truly a must try. As always, expect fantastic service from people who care about great authentic food.

Slow traffic, but delicious food. Friendly staff. Decent prices. Super amazing guac! Not spicy, but tangy lime flavor. My favorite!

This is definitely an authentic place in town. I personally love the Chicken Tostadas, Lomo Tacos, Ceviche, Tinga and the Caldo Tlalpeno is all i want when I'm sick. My husband loves the Torta Cubana. It's nice that they have vegetarian/vegan options and a juice bar. You have to try the Hibiscus Water! They make it fresh! I really like the desserts and fruit cups as well. They sell flan, and tres leches cake. The owner is really sweet and although burritos are not on the menu, they will make one if the customer requests it. The meat is not fried, it's all oven baked and i absolutely love that. The green salsa is a must! I always take some home. I'm very impressed with this restaurant. It has a nice cafe feel to it. I will most definitely keep eating here.

This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus and top 3 restaurants overall in Columbus. It's actually authentic Mexican food instead of the more Tex-Mex restaurants that are common throughout the Midwest. The chicken chipotle torta/sandwich is amaze balls and the chicken tinga tostada has fresh avocado on top--sooo good! The horchata is made in house and the mocha tres leches is mmmmm good. Seriously, everything is delicious (well apart from the chicharron taco--not a fan). The restaurant is very clean. The only thing to be aware of is if you're on a time crunch, you'll want to order ahead, as sometimes service can be a little slow in house. Highly recommend for lunch, just order ahead!

Ok, the food here is so good! I got a burrito, and it completely blew me away. But the service was terrible. It was as if they had no idea what they were doing. I waited for almost 30 minutes for a to go order, and it was just sitting in the window waiting to be handed to me.
