Hidden off the main road, Alex's Tacos & Wings looks like the kind of place you'd expect to uncover a local treasure. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. My colleague and I both ordered the lunch special: three tacos with rice and refried beans. I chose tilapia, shrimp, and chicken. The tilapia was the clear winner. Well-seasoned and cooked properly. The shrimp and chicken? Dry and short on flavor. My colleague had steak, beef, and chicken tacos and came to the same conclusion. The proteins were serviceable, but nothing memorable. And that's really the theme here: average. Not bad. Not great. Just average. The bigger question is whether this is a taco restaurant or a wing restaurant. The menu seems to have an identity crisis, and after eating the tacos, I'm wondering if the wings are actually the star of the show. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. Maybe the magic is in the wings. As for the tacos, they were fine. read more

Amazing food and service highly recommend you visit this place often everything was fabulous

Only had the drive thru take out service. It is very good! I've only had the chorizo tacos and they are really good as far as I'm concerned. The service was good too. Typical drive up service! Thanks! read more

Everything went well everything we've eaten has been great, lots of choices, outside of their traditional foods, wings choices are great and even fried rice !! read more

I have a Pork taco and tamale, both of which were delicious! Salsa was tasty service was ok! Would recommend the wings are good as well

This place is incredible. I'm here to tell you to disregard to cockroach review because this place has 99 health score and I just left and thought it was very clean. Amazing guac. It's different in some way, more limey and has a sun dried tomato flavor, but I can't completely put my finger on it. Try it! High recommend. Also.... THICKKK queso, which if you read my other reviews you know I hate a thin, WEAK queso lol. Onto dinner.... Seriously some of the best tacos I've ever had -- so flavorful and no need for anything but the tradition street taco toppings of cilantro and onion! I had the pastor tacos with pineapple and my boyfriend had the chicken tacos. We split wings-- got them extra crispy and they were on point. I highly recommend their homemade teriyaki and honey garlic pepper. Our waitress was so kind and let us practice our Spanish with her. She was attentive and friendly, as was the other staff members. They even gave us a sample of their watermelon lemonade which is SO refreshing, fresh, and tasty. This place will become a usual stop for my boyfriend and I when we are anywhere near Columbia. read more

4 tacos are less expensive than 3 tacos. Waitress could hardly understand English Lady at front desk to busy eating chicken wings to do anything read more

The service was super! They make you feel like family and they are so quick to serve. The food is amazing, ive now tried multiple of their dishes and each time its been incredibly delicious. I highly recommend eating here. read more

10/10 I wish they had radish, carrots & huge slices of grilled onions on the side. The sauce could be more hot, the jalapeño is extremely hot though so it made up for it. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

The best wings in Columbia. The mild mix lemon pepper is my son's favorite thing to eat.

Great little street taco shop in Columbia. Probably the best Mexican food I've had in Columbia...really. They are quick and have excellent flavor. And you can get 3 tacos with rice and beans for under $9. The taco salad was also very good. Great flavor in the meat. I think they put cheese dip down underneath the lettuce, which was different but quite tasty. I will certainly be back!!! read more

Went here for lunch based on the good reviews. The wings were some of the best. When GPS sent me toward a residential looking area, I was skeptical, but it was a great place. They had much more than wings, but the wings are soo good I didn't try anything else. Friendly service. Highly recommend!! read more

Have eaten here about 5 times, love the street tacos and mango habanero wings! Service is always good, the tea is sweet, along with a good selection of beer. Can't go wrong eating here. read more

Wings are the best! They are a family favorite. Great service as well! The rewards program is a good bonus.

Spent fifty bucks here. They forgot items we ordered. As far as the food goes This was the worst Mexican food I've ever had, even for Columbia. They chicken wings I'm genuinely disappointed. You'll get better wings at Pizza Hut. I can't express how bad this meal was and the fact they didn't even provide the tortillas for the fajitas is unacceptable. Especially at these prices. Zero stars another complete let down in Columbia. read more

Wasn't expecting it, but this place is actually amazing! Probably some of the best Mexican food in the area and SHOCKINGLY DELICIOUS WINGS! The wings with the Parmesan sauce were amazing and a very good price!! I would like to make this my regular spot for Mexican food or wings!! read more

We ate here last night and the food was okay. The carne asada tacos were pretty dry and bland. The rice wasn't cooked all the way and they forgot half of our meal. Not the worst, but they definitely have a long way to go to be a top contender for Mexican food in the area. Then menu was also a bit too minimal for anyone new to know what all they can order other than combination and wings. Maybe a little more detail and options in the menu and more consistency in the foods flavors and it would be better all around. read more

We liked our tacos and salsa on top of great customer service! We will definitely be back! read more

This is a very solid option for authentic Tamales and Mexican food. I haven't tried the wings but have tried tacos and other dishes on the menu and it never disappoints. We even used them to order asada and chicken tacos for our daughters bday party. read more

It's okay. Staff is friendly fajitas are good. Wings were a little too dry and not that flavorful. Probably won't go back but from what I hear everyone has different experiences. Some people love others don't. Good but there is better options. read more

Wonderful surprise. A must try. Loved the fried turkey sandwich and stuffing. Huge portions.

The food is amazing here. No explanation needed. They'll seat you and take your order right away here without the long wait. The place is renovated and looks nice, it's literally my favorite place to go to whenever I'm eating out! Definitely deserves 5 stars! read more

Had lunch at Alex's today. Ground beef nachos were perfect. Husband loves the wings.

One of our new favorites! We haven't tried the wings but we love the tacos! We ordered out and the food was plentiful in the to-go boxes.

Ordering the "happy" Felix plates with extra tortillas gets you enough food for two or three meals, easily making it cheaper than Taco Bell, plus it's really, really good. No brainer. read more

This place is hard to see from the main road Found this place by accident I ordered the The tamales and chicken wings the tamales are the best Service is great food is great Now I have a new place for Mexican food Highly recommend read more

Not much to talk about. Cockroach on the wall, food was blah, servers were nice. Won't go back and won't recommend. The roach did me in.

Most authentic tacos you will ever eat ! Hand made tortilla tacos served with the meat of your choice alongside a grilled onion and spicy jalapeño. They have a variety of meat choices and freshly made flavored waters (ex: Horchata, Jamaica, Pina) which are always a delight on their own. This restaurant also has many choices of traditional Mexican style plates and wings in case you are looking for something other than tacos. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Service and food were not great. Was recommended their wings which were very dry. Willing to give them another try later down the road.

Only stars given, because they were quick and efficient, even when they were slammed at lunch, their food is OK, not anything to really write home about, and their tacos are teeny tiny. Went once, probably won't go back, just wasn't worth it for us as far as price and food size. read more
