    Lunch specials during the week around six dollars. Cute little bar and restaurant area. Complimentary chips and salsa. Everything was here so quick I blinked and there it was. Very happy all in all. 5-5!

    New location. Great service! Great food and beverages! Parking is challenging but worth the walk. Getting a table at 7pm on Sat was easy, but the place was crazy busy. Nice location... Much bigger. Good is very tasty. Salsa was just as good as always. Chips are a bit greasy.. Service was great! Drinks were great too... Perhaps a bit too much ice... But typical in a picture of Margarettias. Atmosphere was more upscale than the other location. Perhaps a bit too bright. Maybe turn down the light for some ambiance... Too light. Lots of tv's now in the bar... A bit more commercialized... Good food... Great service... Guess the are keeping up with the times to keep up and make a go of it. We believe.

    We stop here on a regular basis. Excellent food and nice decor. We frequently find coupons on the back of Kroger receipts.

    This was a good time. Place was packed and we still got our food in under 10 minutes, and it was fresh! I was amazed.

    Great food. The waiters are a little shy at first, but they will eventually warm up. The Thursday beer night is great.

After dinner, they have ice cream pops and they are delicious! My favorite on their menu is their tacos as well as their volcano chimichanga. I can't wait to go back and try another item on their menu. This is the most authentic mexican restaurant I have ever experienced, you can tell the kitchen's heart went into every plate they bring out. We tend to come here 1 day a week! So delicious, inexpensive, and wonderful staff. Thank you Senor Piquin!!!

    Had a yummy dinner when we stopped by the Señor Piquin in Springfield, Ohio! The restaurant itself…read morewas in a brick building and had lots of wooden tables inside. They had fresh flowers on each table, which was such a nice touch. As soon as we sat down, we were served crispy pinwheels and hot sauce. The chimichanga was on specials and it was beautifully presented, almost reminding me of a giant dumpling! You can choose from a variety of different options for protein, so I chose steak. It had a creamy sauce surrounding it, and also came with salad and rice. The rice was flavorful and the salad had some guac on it, so it was creamy and good. The Al pastor torta was more like a flat bread/ pita sandwich, and was filled with diced Al pastor, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. We ordered a side of grilled onions and peppers, which were spicy and went well with the torta. We ordered jalapeños but we were served Serranos, which were even spicier! The server was really welcoming and efficient. You can pay the bill as you walk out, and credit cards incur a fee. Tips are also separate and you can give it directly to the server! They also had some desserts on display but we were too full to indulge this time.

    Really really good, and I had a great meal. Chile rellenos was my choice, and it was good, spicy,…read moreand it was amazingly good. It's a combination plate, and has rice and beans, and comes with two tortillas, corn or wheat. Mostly, this is a sort of gloppy dish. But the taste was stellar, the chilies were great, and it was impressive as the place was PACKED and there was a convention in town that overwhelms most restaurants. Service was good and professional. When I'm in Xenia, I'm going there, which might not be until May of 2024. If you're trying to make a decision, you will not be disappointed. Flavors and food prep were great, it was fresh, and I was frankly surprised and delighted-- and that doesn't happen very often.

    Been going here for years: dine in with large groups, small groups, and carryout. Never an issue…read more Always consistent, excellent service, quick food prep, and delicious food. Not tonight. There was an average number of guests at restaurant. Waiter seemed.......confused. No drink refills, no chips and salsa refills. Never returned to check if food was ok after he served it. Kitchen was very, very slow in preparing and sending out food. My chimichangas were burned. Granddaughter's chicken nuggets were so hard that she had trouble biting into them. We were celebrating a graduation with a party of 13 (been there plenty of times with a large party with zero problems). As such, I don't think that anyone in our party complained about anything (although keep in mind the waiter did not check back after service to make sure everything was ok) not wanting to dampen the celebration as well as just being ready to get out of there after such a miserable experience. Then we go to pay. A 'new'? very inept male was trying to ring people out. He ended up just kind of wandering away from the register. The foyer was packed. A very long line formed until a manager stepped up and replaced him. Again, we have never had an issue with Los Mariachi's before tonight. It is my daughter-in-law's favorite place. But, if this has been our first visit, we definitely would not return.

    I thought El Speedy vaquero Mexican grill and bar was already about the best Mexican in town before…read morethe new owners, now it's even better. Lots of new stuff on the bigger menu, lots of birria choices (quesadillas/tacos, burritos, "pizza" and ramen). I got a new burrito from the new menu, but didn't shoot pictures of the menu itself and forget the name. Of course... But it had chicken, cheese, chorizo, lettuce and rice inside, a steak and a skewer of shrimp ontop, and mothered in cheese and salsa Verde(my fave)... It was ginormous, it was fantastic, and came on a platter the size of a boogie board. I struggled to cut it in half and have half left and a side of rice for tommorrow. Woot. 10/10 I got a tamale too, chicken not pork, the sauce was meh, I prefer a rich mole but the masa flavor and texture were great. 7/10, removed a point for chicken over pork and the sauce, decent but not the best I've had. But would get again! I'm liking the new direction under new owners, I'll be back! (And I'll shoot pics of the new menu!)

    Driving through the area and decided to stop in. Really fast service, attentive staff and the food…read moredid not disappoint. We got cheese dip (good), queso fundido (really good), and fajitas supremas (good)! I'd go back for sure. They were playing pop instrumental music and the vibe was upbeat in there.

To say we were not disappointed is an understatement; we were stunned at how enjoyable the experience was. Everything.. EVERYTHING about this place is wonderful. Service was very attentive, friendly and helpful (and our waitress had only been working there 1 month.) The overall ambiance was stimulating and captivating. Stimulating because the music Powerhouse 60s hits from Ray Charles, Tom Jones, the Beatles and more was a *perfect* choice to enjoy yet not disrupt quiet conversation. Stimulating because the decor was so unique and interesting. And because just the vibe of everyone in there really enjoying themselves was palpable. What about the food you say? Every ingredient of all 4 different taco choices we made was wonderful; fresh, tasty and well prepared and presented. It's not very close to us but we are already excitedly figuring out when we can get back there - and I'm confident we are going to become regulars. It's a small place so going at peak meal hours might risk waiting. They have about 10 tables as well as another 8 or 10 stools at the bar. We did not drink so cannot review that aspect. We were told the place had come under new management in the last few months. As well as that place seemed to be functioning, we would never have guessed that. PS I didn't know until we ordered that they were giving free tacos to veterans, so that's a really cool mark on their patriotism and sense of community. PS 2 Small warning: The bench seats at the east (entrance) wall cut off circulation in my legs.

Got a seat at the bar and ordered a NA mojito and it was delicious, and also at only $5 I appreciated the price- sometimes NA drinks are as much as the full alcohol kind. Great attentive service and friendly chats with the employees. I went with the nachos which were SOOO good. Nachos are one of mh favorite foods, so I know good nachos- especially loved the pickled onions and that there were tons of toppings. My friend got two tacos with beef- can't remember the exact kinds but he enjoyed them. Such a great spot and will be back.
