Always good smoothies and friendly service. I usually order with the app and it's ready when I arrive.

El Tapatio - Some kind of enchiladas

This is a hard review for me to write. I am lumping dozens and dozens of experiences together to…read morecome to that 3 star rating. El Tapatio used to be great. Hands down the best Mexican in Columbus. This was years ago when they were in the basement of a building on the square down town. Growing up it was a special treat to go here. Then in college I ate here at least once a week. The food was fantastic and the owner and staff were great people. They got to know me by name I loved it so much. Back then it was a lock for 5 stars. But I am very old that this was back before even yelp existed. We were back in Columbus recently and I insisted we go back to El Taps (what we called it). It is in a new building about a block from the old restaurant location. Sadly it was miles away in quality. The place was almost empty and it still took forever to order and then forever again to get our food. Then when it came... it was not good. I was heartbroken. I'm not sure what happened or if it was an off day but it was bad. By itself it would be a one star but I am holding on to 100 great meals from years past and going to settle on giving it a 3. Here is hoping you have a better time than our last visit. Assuming they have the same owner that they used to, they were good people and deserve all the success they can get.

When with a small group in the evening. We were quickly seated and received our chips and drinks…read morejust as fast. Excellent service and great recommendations. The food was excellent and when I am back in town again, I plan to visit to continue through their vast menu.

The name caught my eye so we decided to try it. Very little parking up front. Walked in and it…read morewas kinda busy. Clean restaurant. I ordered a margarita and it was not good. Cheap kinda Tequila, but what do you expect for $2.99. I sent it back They brought us some chips and Salsa. Chips great, salsa not so great. Could this night get any better. We ordered la Molcajeta. It came with beans and rice and 3 Tortillas. The Molcajeta was excellent. The service was not so great! They did not have timing right when they delivered our meal. They were tag teaming it and didn't do a good job communicating with each other

Fajita meat was good, and decently seasoned. Beans and rice were a bit strange. They were lacking…read moreseasoning, the rice only had corn in it. The beans were white and only some were mashed while others were whole. The guacamole was fine except it needed salt desperately. Thankful it's at the table. The ambiance was strange-at least the music was. The entire dinner the same country-rap artist was playing with the explicit lyrics on. The server was pleasant, but never checked on our table. And when my colleague and I saw her at the host stand we wondered if we were supposed to go up and pay or if she would come to the table. We had never been here before so we weren't sure. When we looked up again the server yelled from the stand- "I've been waiting for you over here." A bit confusing of a dinner but overall decent for Columbus, Nebraska.

Underwhelming experience. I am ok with advertising and suggesting a breakfast burrito at 5PM, but…read morewhen you make an order and they say, "oh uh, wait a minute, sorry but how about blah blah blah instead". No thanks, I will take exactly what I ordered. Do they give me what I asked for? Nope, I got what they wanted to make. Simple, large Americano with steamed heavy cream. Counteroffering with a latte with half and half is nowhere near the same. So as I get to window asking if they made an Americano with steamed heavy cream...they said yes. What did I drive off with? Some half and half nastiness. If you are not going to make what I order, please tell me to drive off and go home without coffee. Last time I was in Columbus, I actually quit going to Scooters and Starbucks. I am sure if I ordered the sugared down coffee drinks, I would not know they don't know how to make coffee.

I love Scooters' coffee, it's pretty consistent across most of the locations. Some drinks are…read moresweeter than others, you kind of have to test out trial and error to get just the right one for your liking. This location is still in its new phase; there have been a couple blips in the ordering process-- which probably are due to inexperience--things that I'm sure will get worked out in time. Otherwise it's good service-- just avoid going during Columbus' busy times (8am, noon, 4pm) and you should be fine.
