    Birriatacos
    Ellie W.

    Can't believe this place has been open for four years and I haven't discovered it yet. Do not sleep on this incredible spot. While this hole-in-the-wall spot doesn't have frills, it has delicious, flavorful food, and an owner who welcomes visitors like they are a part of the family. I got the birriatacos and my boyfriend got carne adobada. We were both wholly impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the flavor. Tortillas are handmade and hold their own when you pack them with meat and rice. I was unbelievably grateful to the sweet owner who walked me through the menu and told me all of her favorites. Will be coming back as soon as I can!

    Tacos have always been good. I usually get asada & cochinita. Meats are seasoned well and great friendly service.

    Just stopped for dinner and they were closed, no signs, sad Saturday for me and my Mexican food cravings

    Jalapeño burger and hotdog. They will happily make it as spicy as you want!

    GREAT people. I have been here a handful of occasions and can truly say they make sure each meal is specially prepared with love and great flavor. I've tried the tacos, enchilada, tortas and some less common items as well. Make sure you try this one out! I frequent the Columbia restaurant scene-it is hard to find a consistently good place. Great for groups too! Your belly will be happy.

    Fantastic spot. The birria tacos are the best in Columbia. The service is always incredible, even if you don't speak spanish.

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

    Stopped by smallSUGAR and had a decent overall experience, though a few things held it back…read more The space itself was clean and well-kept, with a modern, minimalist vibe that works well for a casual brunch or coffee stop. Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.

We loved…read morehow it's "tucked away" among modern apartment complexes and other nearby buildings--it felt cozy and inviting. Do keep in mind that parking can be tricky, especially on nice days when many visitors are enjoying the nearby Cayce/West Columbia Riverwalk. A little patience goes a long way! As for the food, it was absolutely top-notch! I opted for a simple but classic breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and everything was cooked perfectly. While the menu is a bit "busy" with many options to choose from, the variety is impressive, and I'm excited to try more dishes next time. No complaints here! Service was equally great. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and our hostess took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend this spot--the food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and overall, it's a place worth visiting!

I ordered the kids gluten free pancakes for me and the kiddo to share. We loved them. They have a decent size gluten free menu so hopefully we can eat our way through it. However, service can be pretty rough on the weekends as this is a very popular spot for brunch. Due to the demand, the inside can also get kind of tight at the tables. Overall, if you decide to come here, the food is decent but get here early or eat during the week day. Enjoy!
