She was awesome, knew the menu and made great drinks. The jalapeño margarita was excellent, it was spicy and you could tell it was freshly made with the lime juice vs a premix. I decided on the tacos del mar with shrimp. What a treat, this is where the south meets Mexican cuisine. The shrimp was prepared in a roux that went with the traditional cabbage and cotija cheese. It was soo good. Pro tip: it is incredibly messy to eat, I got. side plate and stacked them like an enchilada. Good food and good service. Definitely recommend.

The first time I visited it took them over 45 minutes to bring out my friends food that by the time she received her food we had eaten, paid and packed up. And when they were asked to discount her meal due to there discombobulation the manager threw a lousy 10% off discount, we let him know that we would rather give the food back and just leave and he had the nerve to catch an attitude! Today I placed a grubhub order for a single large cheese dip, I even waited 10 to 15 minutes after it said it would be done so the restaurant had time since it is a Friday. I went to the pick up counter and stood at the counter for over 5 to 7 minuets before a hostess finally acknowledged me asked if I had been serviced yet, when I told her no she informed me that she was new so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. She tried to help me but she didn't know what she was doing so another coworker tried to come sort it out, then decided to take a phone call in the middle of her trying to retrieve my order leaving her helpless. She got the manager for me and in the middle of him helping me the young man comes up to him and they proceed to have a full conversation, completely ignoring me. And on top of that the manager had the never to scold me about ordering on grubhub suggesting that next time I should use Uber eats , trust me there will NOT be a next time. It's ridiculous that these works can't seem to take a few minutes of their time to actually interact with the customer and get them situated before they break off in to their unnecessary conversations!! Something that should have taken 5 minutes at MOST took over 15 minutes!

Food and drinks were great! Staff very nice. Right across the highway from my hotel. Nice ambiance.read more

I can officially say after two visits, this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants ever!…read moreThey have a thinner tortilla chip (which is the style I prefer), and when they give you salsa they simply leave a bottle and an empty bowl for each person at the table. No more sharing/rationing your salsa, as here you get as much as you want in your own bowl. During my first visit, I believe I ordered dish #65, which was chicken with fajita veggies and mushrooms topped with cheese and served with rice, beans, and a salad. While I skipped the rice (not my thing), I devoured everything else on that plate. The veggies were fresh, the chicken well seasoned, the cheese was tasty, and the beans were very good. It was one of the best meals I had had from a Mexican restaurant in a long time. The second visit I ordered three street tacos, one carnitas, one al pastor, and one chicken. The chicken and carnitas were good, but the al pastor was to die for. So juicy, fresh, and hearty, next time I will be getting three of those. The corn tortillas you could tell were also homemade and it was just a great meal. Both visits I got margaritas, which for me were very good and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend coming here for good food and drinks with your group. The service is great, the prices are good, and the experience is the best!

Overall 3.5 Stars for food, service and ambiance…read more Food: 3.5 stars For dinner we stopped at this local Mexican restaurant. It isn't your local typical Mexican food where the food is covered in queso or the ground beef taste "bland". Most of the foods were regional type dishes but you will find your favorites such as fajitas, tacos and burritos. We ordered the Loco Rice - grilled chicken, rice, covered in queso a grilled onions and jalapeños. The other two dishes were the Carne Asada, grilled flank steak, cooked frijoles (beans) / rice, grilled leeks and jalapeño and Grilled Cameron's (shrimp) w rice, avacados and diced tomatoes. All were 3.5 stars. Nothing stood out to be outstanding but could have been with a little bit more acidity (lime / lemon) or cumin / cayenne seasoning. The food were cooked well but it just missed "something". The outstanding part of our meal was the salsa. It was seasoned well and it wasn't your water-down tomato based salsa with a hint of chopped onions or cilantro and lime. Service was a little bit better than average and server was good but we had to ask a couple of times for certain items. And it wasn't too busy at the time. The restaurant has a bar with multiple tables and booths and can get pretty loud during "happy hour" or dinner time. It can be fun with a lot of people or hanging at the bar. With specialized drinks, the bar tender is happy to make it for you. Though we didn't get any speciality drinks. We will come again to try other meal options and review once again. I think the restaurant can get a higher review because they have different regional meal options.

I've been eating at Mexican Kitchen since my parents took me there as a baby, and I have to say…read morethat they're my favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus! The food is super flavorful and the menu is pretty straightforward. It's been family owned since my earliest memories, and they're a wonderful family and obviously connected to the community, so they're invested in their customers. Personally I miss the days that there were display cases all around the restaurant with shiny, polished stones - but they still have a few cases, and the restaurant is always clean and orderly. Five stars from me !
