    Ya Y.

    Beyond their delicious tacos and tasty margaritas, I got to check out some of their dishes last week, and I especially loved their Camarones Veracruz: grilled shrimp and veggies over a bed of brown Mexican rice, topped with their signature spicy cheese sauce! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the sauce a lot~

    First time here because we were just visiting in town. Decent food and service. Nothing special. We sat outside.

    Fajitas are awesome and they have Ballast Point sculpin on tap! Atmosphere gets a little weird late at night. But for lunch it's nice

    So their menu had a lot of options!…read more We wanted the Barria tacos and the dipping sauce and shredded meat in this and omgggg it was so delicious! There was a bar and TVs it looked like a sports bar and there was outside patio and everything was clean! The restrooms was nice and clean!

    The Sunday brunch buffet straddles a fine balance between price and value. Your personal preference…read moremay tip the scale one way or the other. Adults are $25 each, and children may eat for free for every adult partaking in the same buffet. Each adult buffet scores you *one* free child buffet. The quality of the spread is decent however I wouldn't be writing home about it anytime soon. The sausage links were on the hot tray for too long and hence were pretty dried out. The pop and juicy insides we have come to expect were alas long gone by the time we arrived! The eggs were a little well done but I happen to like well done scrambled eggs so I was more than ok with that. The hash brown lacked the crispy crusty bits and was more like a buttery cooked potato dish; reminds me of the insides of a creamy potato cake (if you can imagine one -- oh yea, a hash brown!). The side of creamy potato mash was pretty good too! I don't know what a shrimp alfredo was doing there but I had a bit and it was ok. I preferred the flavor profile of it's neighbour, the shrimp fajita, but it was a little dried out and overcooked. From the dessert plate, the churro was the best of the lot while the tres leches, chocolate, and flan were ok. Here's where you have to score and see if there is value in this for you. Personally, I am decades past my college binge-eating days and I have no wish to "eat my money's worth." The quality of the food for the quantity I would have liked to stop at (I must admit I overdid it with the dessert plate) didn't justify a $25 expense. I can get myself filled with a better quality of food for less than that at many other dining spots. If you have a hungry kid (or two) with you, I guess it makes financial sense because you save on the additional $10-12 you would have spent per child on an a la carte breakfast anywhere else. HEY YELP: What's with the *terrible* photo upload quality of your android app? My photos look like they were shot under low-light (ISO1200) using a phone from 2008. I can assure you the pictures on my phone are incomparably better (like most phone photos nowadays)

    Wow, this restaurant is awesome! Stopped by with my son recently while in Columbus, and I am so…read moreglad we stopped! The wait staff was great, very attentive but not too much if you know what I mean. I think we were there for about an hour total, I had my drink refilled twice, they brought us more chips once, and my son liked his rice so much he ordered again, and the staff was all over it! I had the burrito diablo, and I was surprised that it actually had some heat to it! I am used to places saying something is spicy and that not being the case. It was nicely spiced though, not too hot. The burrito itself was covered in cheese sauce, it came with marinated chicken, and was served with rice and beans. The rice was good, as I mentioned my kid ordered extra, but for me, the beans were great. I don't know what made them so good, but there were really good. The chicken in the burrito was perfect, nice and tender and full of flavor. We also had a side of queso, that was very good as well. My only regret is that we don't live closer, or this place would go in the regular rotation for sure!

    We went here based on a friend's recommendation. The restaurant has a Polaris Parkway address but…read moreis barely visible from Polaris Parkway. It is in the row of shops and restaurants directly BEHIND the Krispy Kreme location. It is best accessed from Gemini Parkway. The decor is much nicer than your typical Mexican restaurant and offers a very nice dining experience. Being my first time here, I ordered one of their specials - a sampler platter with a burrito, taco and other items. My wife went for her favorite - a chimichanga, The food was excellent/delicious. The service was great. The prices were reasonable. We'll definitely be back. In fact, I've already booked a reservation to bring my Dine-Out group here in November.
