Some decent vegan options- just double check with the server on the sauces.

They did bring out the wrong food a couple times, but would quickly replace it with the correct order.

Some of the taco toppings were still frozen, but overall it was a place that I would go again.

This site is far better than the one in Gahanna and not too much further away.

I always enjoy my food here. I order take out mostly, and it's always on time. I ordered a side of the Mac and cheese for my son, but I wish I hadn't. He didn't like the chili's (small amount) in it. I tried it too and I can see why a kid would not like it. I personally thought it was bland. But that's my only negative ever.

Went her for Cinco De Mayo. Despite being super busy, the service wasn't terrible; it was better than expected for a packed house. The Tacos were great!

We always have great service and food at any of the locations, it's our go-to spot for good tacos. My girlfriend and I like the variety of options.

I'll start with the good, and that is that they have a friendly and helpful staff. Also, the margaritas are really good, especially the "Mustache Ride". Unfortunately, the food isn't good at all. I've been there at least 6 times and I've never had an enjoyable meal. The tacos seem to always have too much sauce and create a mess. Heck, even the chips and salsa are mid at best. If you're just going to eat, there are much better mexican options.

Three separate orders, literally no taste, in the tacos, the taco salad or Chimichanga. And any beer we wanted to order was in a can. Disappointed

We love coming here. Food always comes out quickly and service is always great. Put server on our most recent visit, Nick, was amazing! Very friendly, efficient and we had a great time!

Walked in and sat at the bar after lunch was over, so pretty dead time. Waited for a few minutes, got snapped at by the bartender when I ordered a simple margarita (with an upscale tequila even), then promptly decided to leave. I thought I'd get better service in New Albany or at least be greeted with a smile.

Tacos are insanely good.everything else on the menu, for that matter! And the servers are always pleasant and prompt. You can't miss here!

Great Mexican establishment. Very good.
Please Note! All Mexican food in the USA is a revised version of Mexican food. If you want real Mexican food go to Mexico and not touristy locations like Cancun. Go to some inner towns and cities to get real Mexican Food, But you take a risk of being beheaded. So enjoy the Mexican we have here in Ohio. If you don't like one restaurant move on to the next Mexican version.

Waiter was awesome and you just help yourself to a buffet of chips and salsa. I was lucky and went on a Tuesday. The variety of tacos were just $2 a piece.

The margaritas are strong and they taste great. Definitely order some food. The tacos are great!

Not a bad bar and decent service but the food is terrible. This has been my experience at every local cantina. Awful salsa and the food follows right in line.

Eh, definitely not what I was expecting. My burrito was decent enough, but the tacos and sides were overpriced and not very good. $5 for a bland taco…The salsa tasted like it was out of a jar and the “street corn” I ordered was literally just grilled corn. It barely had any toppings or flavor. The rice tasted like cheap instant rice. Overall just not a great experience and I would not pick to come back to this restaurant again.

I would love to add a photo to this review, but the food was so damn GOOD, it was gone before I got a chance! First time here, but will absolutely be back. Vibes are immaculate.

Great tacos and margaritas. Many options if both. Free chips and salsa. Have visited many times with great service. Check out the shrimp tempura tacos!

Just walked out this place, not a host or server insight, and the bartender’s attitude was like we ruined her day just by sitting down. Very dull vibes from her and was the vibe of the place. For the food to just be okay, you’d think they’d make try to make up in the customer service department
