I have wanted to visit this place for so long! I actually didn't have plan to do so today, but…read morebeing in the area I couldn't help but stop. So exciting! I have lived all over the United States including El Paso, TX where tamales are a staple. It's Tamale Time has it right! The tamales were perfect. On Tuesday (my visit today) they offer three pork tacos for $5 and the veggie option is made fresh so takes some time to cook if you do order it. Customer service was amazing. He walked me through customer favorites and I ordered based on his favorite salsa as well. The tamales were delicious! Full of flavor and wrapped so perfectly. The salsa was just as amazing. I wish I could buy the fresca one I had by the jar! Overall, this was a wonderful place with wonderful customer service. There are so many other tamales I want to try and they also offer catering!! I wish I planned my day a bit better to grab more pictures, but It's Tamale Time is a hit! I love seeing this locally and can't wait to return! Delicious!

The medium margarita on the rocks was exactly what you'd expect from a standard house margarita. It…read morewas balanced enough, but ultimately forgettable--pleasant, yet lacking anything distinctive or memorable. The combo appetizer was largely disappointing and difficult to justify for the price. The chicken quesadilla was bland and desperately needed seasoning. The fritters were even more underwhelming, tasting primarily of fryer oil with no texture, depth, or discernible flavor. The lone bright spot was the chorizo-stuffed jalapeños, which were flavorful, well-prepared, and easily the best item on the appetizer platter. The accompanying chipotle ranch was also excellent and complemented them nicely. The salsa, however, completely stole the show. It's still my favorite salsa anywhere in the Columbus area by a wide margin. The complimentary chips arrived warm and fresh, an often-overlooked detail that made an immediate positive impression. The guacamole had a smooth, fresh texture but was noticeably under-seasoned and needed more salt. The portion size was also disappointingly small considering the price. The combination plate featuring the chile poblano and steak chimichanga was the evening's biggest letdown. The refried beans tasted as though they had been scooped straight from a can, while the rice was one of the few successes of the meal--well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and fluffy. The chile poblano was shockingly small, easily the smallest I've ever been served, and lacked any real character. The ground beef filling was bland, resulting in little more than a soft, flavorless mound. The steak chimichanga was equally disappointing in both size and execution. It was so small it looked more appropriate for a children's menu. While the steak itself was tender, it lacked seasoning and was excessively greasy. I found myself repeatedly pouring salsa over nearly every bite just to introduce some flavor to the plate. The Plato Loco continued the trend of undersized portions. Once again, the rice was cooked beautifully, and the meat itself was tender, but the overall dish was remarkably bland. Nearly all of the flavor came from the cheese sauce rather than the ingredients themselves. On a positive note, the extra tortillas arrived piping hot, fresh, and delicious. Unfortunately, the service mirrored the kitchen's inconsistency. Our server was largely absent throughout the meal. Drinks sat empty multiple times, our basket of chips often remained without salsa, and we repeatedly had to flag him down for refills and basic table service. This restaurant was once my favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus, which makes this visit especially disappointing. Whether the focus has shifted to the newer Phoenix City location or something else has changed behind the scenes, the difference is impossible to ignore. The generous portions that once set this restaurant apart have shrunk dramatically, and the bold flavors that kept us coming back have largely disappeared. Aside from the outstanding salsa and a few isolated highlights, this meal felt uninspired and poorly executed. It was a disappointing experience that leaves me questioning whether I'll be returning anytime soon.

Now I will say I am Mexican, thus the expectation of authenticity is high. The 4 star review brought us in, but definitely did not live up to the rating. The birria tacos were bland and the consome that comes along with it was water down. The molcajete was smothered in chili-bean like sauce. The grilled meats were bland and dry. The tortillas were probably microwaved. The chicharron in salsa appeared to have been cooked with the bagged pork grind bags. Absolutely a nightmare. The plain quesadillas were made with a cheese type that wasn't edible for kids. Two different kids couldn't finish it. The salsa for the chips was most likely pace generic brand. The salsas we got to aid the taste were all tasteless. Now there was some food a few people in our party were okay with. The chimichanga, grilled chicken and fries. To be fair considering this is in Columbus, Georgia perhaps the owners cater to the people around them. If tasteless if your thing this is the spot. One good thing is they sat our party of 14 down in a short period of time, and we saw a few other large parties. The ambience was family friendly. Ample parking and friendly staff.

Service started off a little bit slow, but I don't think there were many people serving tables and they were really busy. The food was pretty good, though we would've liked pork options. There were a lot of menu options that were different from other Mexican restaurants we've gone to. A pet peeve of mine is for servers not to ask me if i want dessert, probably because i almost always want one.

I said we haven't even got our menus yet. They gave us a lunch menu and I asked for dinner menu, we then were extremely rushed to the point where my husband just pointed at the Molly chicken dish and said can I at least get this and the lady said I guess if that's what you think then I was extremely rushed for my order mind you we haven't even been seated for five minutes and I was extremely uncomfortable, so I just shouted out the steak fajitas will be fine. They brought food out literally within five minutes and I could tell why it came out so fast because the food was old cold and tasted like it came from a dirty griddle. There was no seasoning no flavor no soul in these meals, the only thing you could taste was burnt on grease off of a griddle and dry meats. The rice with the Molly dish was absolutely awful. The tea we were served was unsweet when my husband asked for sweet tea glasses weren't even filled my pink tea tasted exactly like syrup. It was God awful some of the worst lemonade I've ever had. We had our place in front of us for two minutes and we're discussing the quality of food when the lady came over, rushed us again with the ticket I asked why the rush since we already got our food and she said we were closing it to so I was really confused if they knew they were closing it to why they would let us in the establishment, a little after 130? The ambience and the culture here is extremely awful. The floor is dirty. The decor is outdated, and the staffing is completely horrendous with how they treat new customers or customers in general the gentleman that want to take our order never even asked us anything except for what do you want to eat . We will never be returning to this establishment. The salsa was decent, but you could tell it wasn't fresh in the chips. Those were cold, too and Lacked salt !

This is coming from a born and bred Texas girl, and a spent-quite-some-time-in-Texas-guy (honorary Texan). We were also given an extra tamale (thank you)!

They staff are so incredibly friendly :) Super super delicious, their salsas are SO delicious. Definitely super fresh, we had a handful of different arrangements of salsas. If you're not one to handle spice as well but still like flavor and a taaaad bit of kick, definitely get the tomatillo verde! The salsa fresca was my personal favorite, with the el sriracho (spiciest one) being a close second (they gave us one to try and it was so yum). Definitely not too spicy (but we can handle our spice), packed with a ton of flavor. Can't go wrong! It's really cute, nice that it sits in the little center with other options. Definitely come by :)

The girl who took my order seemed bored and not very friendly. She said it would take 10 mins, so I looked around the shop next door then came back. I took my tamale to go. Got to my room, opened it, and wasn't sure what I was looking at. Being Mexican, and having made and eaten tamales all my life, this was not what I would call a tamale! It was maybe the size of a roll of quarters! So I picked it up and unwrapped it and took a bite. And it kind of reminded me of those canned tamales you can buy. The masa had an odd flavor and was almost creamy, the meat was different in texture. The salsa was ok, not what I considered salsa. It was an ok snack, but I don't know if I'd call it a tamale. And I definitely won't go back.
