    The tocayo and the mango were absolutely fantastic !
    Andre' M.

    The salsa bar here is fantastic! I thought that Papa's and Beer had a good salsa bar. This place beats it! Try the tocayo and the mango for a real treat. I had the lunch shrimp fajitas and it was a great dish. I'd come here a bunch if I lived in the area.

    Wow wow ! This place definitely has authentic flavors. Coming from someone who grew up eating this type of food I have to say it reminded me of our flavors. Staff was SUPER friendly and welcoming. Honestly such great service which made the whole experience even better. The kids have a great selection of food to order from and that's from 12 years and younger. My daughter had the enchilada with beans and rice and she devoured it! My son had the shrimp quesadilla and that was gone in seconds. I decided to get the quesabirria and it was so tasty. The consomé was very flavorful and the tortilla was crispy. My fiancé had the mojarra and that in itself was fried perfectly. They have a salsa bar in the back that has a lot of different types of salsas that are super authentic and flavorful. The place is very clean and pleasant with tons of space and comfortable booths. I'm so happy I took a peak at other 5 star raving reviews and I definitely agree this is the spot for good Mexican food.

    We stopped in here on our way home from Georgia. My husband and I were traveling with our adult daughter and 2 of our granddaughters ages 5 and 2 years old. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. They took our drink order while we decided what eat. Once our order was placed our food came out pretty quickly. Everything was absolutely delicious. I got to pork carnitas and they were so tender and delicious. The bathroom was clean and stocked. We would definitely recommend this place.

    Excellent atmosphere, food always fresh and delicious, cocktails always on point, I haven't had a drink that I don't like, their bartender really knows how to make drinks same goes to their chef or cooks Waitress are always nice and attentive, so far we have a favorite waitress her name is Mariana, she is very knowledgeable of the food and drinks menu We been here few times, my whole family loves the restaurant and I guess their most younger customer is the one that bring us here all the time, my 8 years old son, he loves to eat cut up steak with chips and melted cheese dip, that's how he likes it, he doesn't like everything mix together like the Nachos plate comes to and Mariana was the one who gave us the sugestión on how to order for him so so far we are all happy This is our to go restaurant in Anderson close to our new home.

Upon walking in there was no one present and you're instructed to place your order on the kiosk. Maybe 5-10 mins later someone came out and acknowledged us to confirm that we placed an order. The ambiance was very open and things seemed to be in disarray or in strange places. On my way to the bathroom there was just a lot of dry goods and supplies they had strewn along the back wall and it was very disorganized. Some spots towards the back look unfinished and some random things in their dining room like coffee cups for sale, personal items out on the high counter and so on. The girl who assisted us was friendly when she did come out once we sat down. Our order for 2 potato boats and chicken wings took about 30ish minutes. I asked for bbq sauce and she said they were out and they make it in house. It was around noonish so I was a bit surprised they already ran out. The young lady told us that our food would be done soon and their "server robot" would bring it out for us. Mind you we are the ONLY table in the restaurant so we found it a bit strange for her to present it that way and then not just bring out the food herself. I feel like having a server robot bring food out to one table doesn't make much sense but perhaps they saw it as a wow factor. The robot is was playing "Move B^tch get out the way" by Ludacris and we were totally caught off guard. I'm not sure if that song is a great choice for the demographic or crowd for Anderson but because we knew the song well so it didn't bother us. Something to reconsider that might be more friendly or appropriate. Onto the food, the potato boats were cooked very well and had great flavor. She seasoned the potato part nicely aside from the other condiments on top. We got a 10 piece wing combo with sweet potato fries. Chicken wings were the smaller ones so they were crispy on the outside and the fries were tasty. Overall, enjoyed the food concept but the execution of service and hospitality can really use some refining. It didn't feel like a personalized experience and had moments of just wondering how everything ties in together. I find it important to acknowledge that guest perception is important and what they are surrounded by. Although the food was solid, the ambiance was unusual and lacked organization or a vision.

For appetizers we got the clam chowder, not shy on the clam, was very tasty and a side salad with maple bacon vinaigrette, nice and refreshing. Something called to me to get the crab cake and since it's an appetizers I ordered that with a side of street corn. Upon first sight, I felt maybe they went a bit light on the remoulade but the flavor from the crab cake itself was incredible, and the remoulade was a nice enhancement. Any more would've overpowered the flavor of the crab cake itself. They did it right and the street corn was also delicious. Pimento Cheese Rockefeller Shucks pimento cheese and jalapeño pepper jelly. I didn't know what to expect from this but we are adventurous and I'm glad. This may be my favorite of the evening! We also got the Butter Parmesan Rockefeller which was heavenly. Next onto the raw oysters. We opted for gulf, Virginia, and NC and ended up ordering more VA & NC. Normally I use lot of horseradish and coctail sauce but the mignonette was so delicious that about half way through I only used that. Finally, and I wish I had gotten a picture, we talked ourselves into getting the crème brûlée cheesecake, diets be damned. I love crème brûlée and the hubby loves cheesecake. This became apparent when after a few bites we made a deal that I eat the top and he can have the bottom this was a win win for us! All the food was a hit, we loved our server, and the location and ambiance! Not only will we be back, I could see us becoming regulars. The hubby loves raw oysters/seafood and I'm coming around. Everything I ate was fabulous and I would order any of it again though there are other menu items I want to try as well. Thanks Shucks for a great night out. We will be back!

As we walked up the stairs from Wren Park we decided to stop in for a bite at Doolittles. Sitting on the patio on such a lovely evening next to the water fountain was so nice and relaxing while getting to meet some of the local neighbors. We are new in town and everyone is so friendly! Our server came out promptly and got us set up with menus and took our drink orders. There were several things on the menu I was torn over but decided on the Bourbon Chicken. My husband debated between the Fish & Chips or the Carolina Cuban, settling on the latter with the Sweet Corn Sauté. Neither disappointed. The Bourbon Chicken with broccoli and rice was delicious, although I would prefer maybe a little less sauce as it was almost a soup lol but I'd still order it again. My husband loved the Carolina Cuban. The flavors go so well together that even me not being a huge sandwich person would consider getting it on a future visit. The Sweet Corn Sauté was a nice compliment to the dish as well. Oh, and dinner was Gracie approved! She enjoyed her little bites of chicken, smoked pork and ham as well ;) And finally I want to give a shout out to our server Charlie!
