Best enchiladas I have had! Good service. Friendly staff. I can't wait to go back. The guacamole was fresh and made with perfection.

Best ambiance and margs in Columbus. Top Mexican restaurant around. We’ve been coming here for years and can’t recommend enough. We love the queso and lime margaritas the most!! 10/10
