    Good as always. We love coming here, the food never disappoints and per my husband the pineapple margarita was delicious as usual. I can’t remember our servers name, he’s Colombian and provided exceptional service. Thank you Bakersfield for a pleasant dinner and experience 😊

    Always a good place to eat great tacos and get fantastic Margaritas. We had the guacamole and it was the best I’ve had in a really long time.

    My server was amazing and I think that was the best shrimp taco of my life. The salsa is super fresh and I love that they give you three different kinds. The queso has me speechless 10/10 best tacos in Columbus without a doubt.

    The service was impeccable, and our food came out in ten minutes. We ordered two orders of queso, one normal and one with short rib, along with two baskets of chips. We also got the corn salad and papas rancheras. Everything was delicious. The corn is always a favorite, twelve out of ten on that. Same with the queso. We were here visiting the area for our 5th wedding anniversary, and I had asked for a candle at the table ahead of time.They went all out and included a candle and a vase with a few fresh flowers. Staff is super friendly, everything was wonderful, and we will definitely return!
