Stopped by Tequila's recently and had a bit of a mixed experience…read more On the positive side, the food was good and the service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and efficient. The team clearly takes pride in the guest experience. That said, we were really looking forward to having a margarita, which made it surprising (and a bit disappointing) that no liquor was being served during our visit. There wasn't any explanation offered, which added to the confusion. It felt a little ironic given the name. Overall, it didn't ruin the experience, but it definitely stood out. We'd be open to going back and giving it another try--hopefully with margaritas on the table next time.

Tequila's Mexican Grill remains my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The food is…read moregenuinely authentic, full of bold, traditional flavors from Mexico, and the atmosphere matches perfectly. Most of the staff are native Spanish speakers, which adds to the real-deal experience. I love coming here with my mom for lunch or dinner. Our favorite server is Marín (pronounced mah-REEN). He always recognizes us right away and used to know our regular orders by heart--until we went back to eating KETO! It takes a little creativity, but it's definitely possible to eat healthy here. My go-to is the Chipotle Fajitas without tortillas, rice, or beans. They come out sizzling hot and loaded with flavor. I'll sometimes add a drizzle of their cheese sauce on top, and it's perfection. They recently updated the tabletops and the whole restaurant has a beautiful, authentic Mexican feel. The dining room is massive, making it ideal for large groups. I've seen them easily combine tables for parties of 15-20 people. They usually have upbeat Latin music playing, and on Friday and Saturday nights, there's live music. I'd be thrilled if they ever brought in a mariachi band! Best of all, they're open every day and stay open late. If you're craving great Mexican food, Tequila's is the place to go.

If restaurants had a last call, we apparently slid into Mama Mila's at the right moment…read more We arrived just before Mama Mila herself had to cut off the line because they had such a rush they almost sold out!!! I understand why....we managed to score one of the best meals we've had in Columbia. The pasta was absolutely incredible....fresh, flavorful, and the kind of food that makes you stop talking for a minute because everyone is too busy eating. Thinking we'd show some restraint, we ordered dessert to go. That plan lasted about as long as our leftovers. The peanut butter pie was spectacular, and the carrot cake may have ruined all future carrot cakes. The food was fantastic, but what really stood out was the atmosphere. At one point Mama Mila stood on a chair and announced instructions tot the whole restaurant and expressed her love and that every patron was "family". You can tell this place is loved by the community, and seeing Mama Mila personally managing the crowd only added to the charm. Pro tip: Get there early. We barely made the cutoff and almost missed out on a meal we'll be talking about for a long time. Five stars. We'd gladly race the clock again.

Visiting Tennessee for the second time, my cousin insisted I try this Italian restaurant. Having…read moreeaten authentic Italian food in Southern Italy, I was a little skeptical at first even though the Yelp photos looked amazing. I came in hoping to like it, but I ended up loving it. I'm usually not a big fan of American Italian food because I can often taste that metallic flavor that sometimes comes from canned tomato sauce. The Nunzio, however, was absolutely incredible. The sauce was rich, fresh, and packed with flavor! honestly perfection! One of my favorite parts of the experience was getting to chat with the owner, Mila. She was so kind and welcoming, and you can immediately tell she's one of those genuinely good people who puts her heart into what she does. Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful people. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Tennessee!
