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.

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!

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 !
