I love authentic tacos but it does not exist here. We would go to Taco Bell before we come here…read morefor tacos. Great establishment. Staff is always friendly. The building could use some improvements but it is nice and cozy. The menu compared to authentic Mexican restaurants is very different. Especially if you're from the southwest border or Hispanic. We have come here a couple times in the last couple years and it is okay. Not very flavorful and a bit bland. Large portions if you love rice and beans and salt and pepper. As for the tacos it was our first time coming here for that on taco Tuesday. We wanted to try their $1 tacos. And I must say you get what you pay for LOL It is like a taco out of a box and if you enjoy that for a $1 with no flavor come here. However you will not find flavor or options here. We ordered 12 tacos. All that was available was ground beef and shredded chicken. And it was just that with some bland cheese and lettuce on cold tortillas. So, if you're looking for authentic tacos this is not the place to explore. But if your looking for below basic and have no expectations, enjoy some salt and pepper, and saving money it's worth a shot. We were able to give our leftovers to a homeless person in the area and we then went to plaza azteca to enjoy authentic tacos for taco Tuesday.

We were seated right away. The atmosphere was bustling, with lots of tables happily enjoying their…read moremeals. The place was clean. The seating looked newer and really nice. We were given chips and salsa quickly and our drink orders taken. Once we got our meals (which was literally just minutes after we ordered it) we were all out of drinks and I had to flag our waiter down for new ones. And by that time my meal was almost gone. The pricing on the food seemed a little high. Overall the food was okay. We wanted to try this location because it's the only Mexican restaurant in the city we haven't tried. While mostly everything went smoothly, everyone in our party agreed we liked a different Mexican place more. Plaza Azteca comes in (and ties for) 3rd place according to my family's ranking of EC Mexican restaurants.

We never enjoyed plaza azteca years ago because of the entrees we would order…read more But a few months ago we were looking for authentic Mexican tacos. We decided to come here to see their options and it has been addicting ever since. Being carnivores this location provides great protein options without being forced to have carbs such as beans and rice. They also offer gluten free corn tortillas which is amazing. And offer a dish that is all protein with no carbs ! That is so hard to find. But not here. Service is always so great. Ambiance is well maintained and comfy with an open space. We look forward to coming here and come too often lol but so worth it on top of having excelling customer service.

We went into this dining experience with high expectations. The cafe-market was bright and lively;…read morevery inviting. Would be fun to return and shop for some gift items. The service was good, friendly and efficient. We are from southern CA and both know and love our Mexican food. The three entrees we order, unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. Our granddaughter ordered the chicken burrito bowl and was satisfied. It looked like the best entree of the three we ordered. The grilled chicken was tasty but there were otherwise no interesting flavors. The ingredients were fresh. My husband and I began by sharing the chicken nachos. The dish was made without the refried beans advertised on the menu, came with ground chicken (not grilled or shredded) and didn't taste as if it were flavored. The "yellow cheese" was liquid cheese rather than grated cheese. Most disappointing, it was not hot. The jalapeños and tomato-onions were the best items on the dish. We asked for salsa and were provided with green salsa that also lacked flavor or spice. Reading reviews, it seems as if hotter version might have been an option. Not feeling satisfied, we ordered two grilled chicken tacos with a side of refried beans. The dish came with the same flavorless ground chicken. No salsa. The refried beans were definitely homemade, a plus, yet were also flavorless. Overall, flavorless is the word of the day, sadly. We wanted to write a great review as we enjoy supporting small, family owned businesses. If we lived locally, we would return and have a conversation with the owners about the dishes that contain more traditional Mexican spices and flavor combinations. I bet there are dishes that locals know about and enjoy enough to return.

Good authentic food. Plenty of space to sit down in. I'm glad it's another option for Columbia.read more

I was excited to try this new restaurant since it seemed like a better chipotle but it in fact is…read morenot. I wanted to order a bowl but they were out of every meat choice except chicken. And when I asked for the corn salsa on my bowl the worker corrected me and said "that was guacamole", it was so far from guacamole... it was watery and a yellowish grey color. The food was expensive for sub par food and I was honestly worried I would get sick just from how it looked. The worker also informed me that the bathroom was out of order and had been for some time so had to go to the store down the road. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was for the worker. He was nice and informative on any questions I had. My advice is if you want a burrito or bowl just drive down the road and get chipotle.

There is a way better atmosphere in this room than the others. The waitress was great. Very attentive and has good recommendations. We started with the crab dip, which was phenomenal. I got the French quarter chicken and shrimp pasta, and my daughter got something that was a pesto based sauce. I liked my dish, but my daughter truly disliked hers. She barely touched it so we brought it home and my husband ate the rest and he also disliked it.

Food is always amazing, staff have had the same faces for as long as I can remember…read more We stop by here and there when we are busy while in town. We always get the same order, well I do at least because I absolutely love their chicken salad, I always ask for extra. I do love their fries over their sweet potato fries. I just feel like their sweet potato fries could be crispier. Their grilled cheese, burgers, salads, and everything else we have tried have been good. I can't remember a bad meal here. Service is good but they are busy, so sometimes I feel like staff can be short. Our server was a young gentlemen this time and he was very kind, thorough, and checked in on us the appropriate amount of times. The establishment itself is very farmhouse pub vibes, they offer single room bathrooms for men and women and they're always clean. They also have outdoor seating for those nice warmer days. This place stays packed for a reason.
