What Guests Are Saying
Loved across the Midlands
I normally dont do reviews but THIS store has earned it! Tacos are amazing and they gave chips AND salsa which I didn't pay for. Also gave me extra lime ontop of the limes that were already in the tray. The birria sauce is soooo good everything 100% worth the money and affordable. Stores usually have a problem with following directions but this store listened when I said I didnt want any onions.. anyway everything bueno bueno bueno muchas gracias!!!!

This was some of the best food ive had in Columbia. The tacos are juicy and full and the chips and guacamole added that little extra crunch and goodness. I also got the Mexican street corn salad and put it on the chips and oh my god best dinner ever.
