Excellent Mexican not far from 95. Friendly and quick service. Chicken enchiladas were very good and husband had beef tacos. Great meal!

Lunch portions were perfect size (to take some home). Fresh ingredients nicely prepared. Server/staff were seamlessly bi-lingual. read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants I found near Hilton Head. The food was very fresh and delicious! Coming from CA, I would add a little more spice to it however I noted in SC people like everything pretty mild. Shrimp fajitas was just perfect! read more

Road Trip Must-Stop! This authentic Mexican spot is a hidden gem! The tacos were incredible especially the tongue (lengua) and cheek (cabeza), both melt-in-your-mouth delicious and packed with flavor. The service was top-notch--super friendly and welcoming. If you're passing through, make the stop. You won't regret it! Each taco is about 3.50 too. Reasonable prices, fresh food, great service read more

Dirty restaurant. Although the food was spiced nicely, it was greasy. The service was poor.

Stopped here on a trip to Jekyll Island as it was difficult to find anything other than fast food on our trip. This place was great. Excellent food, perfectly seasoned. Really glad we found this hidden gem. read more

Stopped by because of the reviews. A bit disappointed. Overall they lacked flavor, was Just bland. Was so looking forward to a good meal. Did not get that here. Had steak and chicken tacos Mexican style. Salsa was boring as well. Very watery and little flavor. Not worth it. read more

This place has a super delicious food!!! When we arrived they gave us very yummy chips with salsa as an appetizer. The food we ordered was perfect! Highly recommend read more

Sad to see the vegetarian Chimi is gone. Ordered the horchata and burrito this time. I forgot the burrito doesn't come with side of rice and beans covered in cheese. I was craving them our 350 mile drive! Next time I'll definitely order on the side. Kiddo ordered the same with an ice tea. As always, Everything was delicious! Fast, prompt, friendly service. We stop here each time we make the trek from central FL to central VT time permitting. Thank you for being here! Visited 6/8/2023 after the dinner rush. read more

Omg what a find off the Highway (95). I truly wish this place was near my house! Authentic Mexican family business with fresh, low priced, high quality food. I got three tacos, 2 shredded chicken and 1 steak. You get to choose if you want your double shells to be corn or flour, I chose corn. Very fresh. Shredded chicken had a lot of flavor. You can also choose Mexican style (onion, cilantro, radish, lime) or American style (pico de Gallo, lettuce, and cheese). It doesn't say cheese on the menu so beware if you're lactose! They remade mine without complaint. My bf loved his steak quesadilla - good flavor. Chips are amazing, fresh and thick- don't skip these. Small guac came with pico and cheese and was a huge portion. We mixed in some of the fresh salsa they gave us (green spicy and red mild). There was plenty of street parking nearby, and picnic tables to eat outside (and inside but since COVID we don't like doing that). We called 10 min ahead and it was ready when we arrived. There's no website so we suggest going off the menus posted here. If they don't answer, call back! Their line might just be busy. There's also a cheap gas station nearby and is generally a cute street in the middle of nowhere. We're marking this spot and hope to be back on the next road trip!! read more

Great food, attentive service and inviting decor. Working in this area this week and decided to stop off at a highly recommended Mexican restaurant and was not disappointed. Dining at lunch with 8 other hungry guys. No complaints from anyone. They served very good chips with mild salsa. Chips were thin and crispy. read more

This place is INSANELY good! The taste of the food is the best Mexican I have had, maybe ever... and I am a sucker for Mexican food. I took a pit stop and decided to sit down instead of get fast food and it was totally worth it. The staff was super friendly, especially what looked like the Mother of the restaurant. 5 stars!!! I got 4 tacos and they were all amazing Ground beef and steak were my favorites read more

Really good Mexican food in Ridgeland. My wife had the chicken fajitas, which she said were very good. I tried to get tripe & lengua tacos, but they were out of lengua, so our waitress suggested the beef cheeks. Tacos were served with cilantro, radish slices, and two varieties of onion - diced and pickled. Along with the meat, the vegetables made for a great texture contrast, and having the flavor of radishes instead of lettuce was excellent. A bit of a drive, but we'll worth it! read more

Not much to look at as far as a restaurant goes. But don't let that stop you the food is outstanding! Everything is fresh made and authentic Mexican cooking. I haven't had as good a Mexican dinner since one of my trips to Mexico. Service was great as well. Try it and I think you will agree. read more

What an awesome little place! Found it by accident. Service was great, food is authentic and they could make a mint just by selling their hottest salsa! It's a quaint mom and pop place that we will make a point of stopping whenever we are in the area! read more

This was a stop during my sons state baseball tournament. The place was clean. The waitress that initially greeted us was very nice. We ordered several dishes including the steak quesadilla that my wife had. She said that it was one of the best ones she ever had. I had the green enchiladas with beef tongue tacos. This did not disappoint. The price was fair and the portions were plenty. Even the Pepsi cola was a real sugar Mexican import that was in a thick glass bottle. The complimentary tortilla chips were hand cut and fried fresh to order and served with chilled salsa. Next time your in or just traveling through the Ridgeland SC area this place is a must try for any Mexican foodie. read more

As Californians, we had to try Mexican food out of state. Yes, we are the type to have it to compare to our superior fare. But this was really good, the meat was fresh and flavorful. I had steak tacos, super tasty. My husband had the steak chimichunga, it had amazing gooey cheese and not stuffed with rice and beans (a filler to cut down on the meat you're served). But the important thing (how you know its good Mexican food) is the rice. Beans were great too. My only negative was the dried out radishes for my tacos and the house salsa was lacking any spice at all. Chips tasted homemade though read more

I love this local Mexican restaurant in Ridgeland, SC! I usually get the shrimp and rice with bell peppers and onions added. It comes with that wonderful gooey white cheese on top. It's so good. Everything I have tried there is good though. Highlights for me are their Cuban sandwich, their fresh chips made daily with fresh salsa, the cheese dip, beef chimichangas, shrimp quesadillas, the David Especial, and once again the Shrimp and rice! It's all fresh and delicious. They also have the best sweet tea in town. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Excellent corn Taco shell and very good salsa and chips More than reasonable prices however watch out because each item is a charge The only reason for three instead of four stars is twofold number one not very nice Atmosphere the other is it was difficult trying to get service as we needed to get our water refilled we needed to order something else and no one was around however it's worth all of that because the food is very good read more

The food was amazing. The vibe of the place was authentic, and the servers were nice and quick. I got two steak tacos and steak quesadillas. 10/10 food. Definitely recommend. read more

This is our second time to this family run restaurant. It's in the middle of quaint main st. If you are on 95 and need a place to stop where the locals dine. This is your place. Outside dining only or pick up right now but it is totally worth their delicious authentic Mexican food. Go hungry and go early for their delicious tacos or their carne asada which is off the chain. read more

Loved the food! The green salsa they give you with the chips is spicy and very tasty. We ordered tacos ( Birria, carne asada & carnitas) they are perfect. The tortilla is soft all the meats have great flavor. We also ordered some chicken enchiladas with spicy green salsa and loved them. Staff is friendly the restaurant is clean and cute. read more

Food is very good! My fiancé's draft beer was nice and cold! Great flavor and staff is very attentive

We came here one evening to grab a quick meal. I hadn't eaten Mexican in a while, so I decided to give this place a try. We ordered the tacos and a chicken burrito. There were complimentary chips and salsa at each of the dining tables. After about ten minutes, our food arrived to the table. My burrito was tasty and the portions were quite substantial, leaving us feeling full but not too heavy. My only gripe about my burrito was the cheese--it tasted exactly like a slice of Kraft cheese. The bathroom was decently clean, though it doesn't have great ventilation (definitely feels stuffy in there). There is plenty of indoor seating at this venue and the servers are polite and helpful. There's parking at the front and some additional parking at the side of the building. For $14 for two people, this place is great to grab a cheap meal. This isn't my favorite Mexican place, but I wouldn't mind coming back if I'm in the area. read more

Veggie burrito was interesting and tasty. I've never had green beans in a burrito but it worked. The red salsa was bland however the green salsa was great and a little spicy. Green enchiladas were on point too! read more

Perfectly adequate Mexican food. Excellent chips! A good find for hungry travelers but keep trucking if you want excellence.

Wonderful, fresh, homemade, food. Staff is super friendly. Pure authentic Mexican food. We are just driving through and hope to make it a priority to stop here again any time we are traveling through. read more

Sabor mexicano en la comida buen sabor y calidad. Los tacos y chilaquiles mis preferidos!!

Stopped here with my BF Mike because the BBQ was closed. Glad we came. Authentic, DELICIOUS food served by super-nice (obviously family) staff. If you need to hop off I-95 and eat, this is a no-brainer. read more

What a dive! This place was everything you want out of a restaurant and more. Located in a small town in SC, my husband and I stopped by for dinner on our road trip back home. Service: our server was a young girl who was absolutely perfect at her job. She was attentive, knew the menu well, and assisted us promptly. Atmosphere: this restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall type of place and has a hometown feel to it. It's not the best I've ever been to, in terms of appearance, by no means the worst. Food: the ONLY complaint I have about the food is the queso. While tasty, it was not as thick as I prefer my queso. Otherwise, portions where sufficient and price was comparable to any chain Mexican restaurant. The fajitas came with a ton of meat and veggies, as did the chicken taco salad. I would recommend this to anyone just stopping by to get a quick bite to eat! read more

Almost right by I-95, located in a quiet Southern small town, this family-run restaurant offers delicious authentic Mexican food prepared and served by a very polite staff for a very reasonable price. Definitely worth visiting for a lunch or dinner. Nearby small green square gives a chance to stretch your legs in transit. Don't miss this one! read more

A couple miles off 95 driving through SC. SO GLAD we found it!! This was literally the best food I've ever had. I have never felt so satisfied and happy after eating a meal. The chips are completely homemade as is the salsa and WOW. 10/10. I got shrimp tacos with homemade corn tortillas, Mexican style and yes, best tacos I've ever had. Husband got shredded beef chimichanga and it was the best one he's ever had. And that's what he orders at every Mexican restaurant ever. I can't say enough good things. Can't wait to drive through SC again so I can have this flavor explosion experience again. WOW!! read more

So, I'm not the biggest Central American food fan. This place has great reviews, and they are all right. We came during the pandemic, and they are handling it well. There is no dine in, but there was outdoor seating. My wife went in and ordered the food and they brought it out. I had a torta that was divine. My wife had a combo that was delicious. A definite must in Ridgeland. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. We have a standing arrangement for Taco Tuesday, and it's simple: eat here. The grilled chicken burrito is a family favorite but we've never had a bad meal here. read more
