To me this place is strange and dark. Food is unique, chips are broken taco shells. It wasn't my favorite place but it has been a staple family owned restaurant in Columbus for decades. Many of our parents who are now grandparents and great grandparents went to this restaurant on dates. It has unique Mexican food, the food was good just unlike any other place I have been, it is worth going once if you have never been.

This unassuming building holds a great little restaurant with friendly servers and some awesome food. The decor just keeps coming at you, and there are always more little things to find.I got there just as they unlocked the doors Saturday afternoon, and 3 other tables were filled within 5 minutes. Within half an hour, 3/4 of all of the tables (and the parking lot) were all filled! I figure that's always a good sign. The food was really amazing, too.Pictured: Beef tostadas and an utterly amazing "Chicken Surprise" (cheesy chicken over rice with a savory mushroom sauce).This wonderful little joint is well worth a visit. The menu is simple, the people are friendly, and the food will satisfy you.Parking: Some parking up front and some on the side, tho there may not always be enough spots to account for a full house + employees all at once. Good HC spot layout.They open at 4:30 - Get there early :)

Drove 30 miles to try out this place in observance of Cinco De Mayo and glad I did. We were seated right away at 7pm on a Friday night and had a very attentive waitress. The food is authentic Mexican food and it was devine. The authenticity of their dishes and the quaint atmosphere is what sets them apart from the rest! I will be a repeat patron for many years to come.

I have never been so wonderfully surprised by a restaurant, it’s food, and it’s staff. ❤️ A couple of my girlfriends and I stopped in this evening for our Mexican food fix, and everything about our meal was absolutely delightful. It was our very first visit (of many to come), so our server let us know that the cuisine is not texmex but more traditional Mexican food.To begin: the rice was the most flavorful rice I have ever had. Everything on their standard plates is so delicious I couldn’t help but to completely clear mine, and both of my girlfriends demolished theirs as well. The hand rolled tamales were made with love and so many years of experience. The ?HOT SAUCE? is homemade and so so so delicious. I think I tried it on everything on my plate, and it was an excellent addition to all of it. I literally cannot speak enough praise about this place and the family that owns it.If you are in Columbus, MS, I highly recommend stopping by!!

Left after waiting for almost 10 min with no waitress to greet the table.
I was hopeful when I asked my husband if he wanted to try a Mexican place we haven't tried before. I was curious and I love supporting local places. But...We walked in on a Friday night..so I totally understand being busy and possibly experiencing low staff at this time. We were sat in the corner and sat there for over 30 minutes and was not approached or even acknowledged once seated. The table next to us with a large family was also experiencing a long period of not being waited on, so I was starting to lose hope.I still want to try this place someday, but it might be on a weekday if we think about it. But I never got to try the food, so I can't speak on taste or quality. I wish everyone the best of luck who works there and goes there.I will change my review once we eat there someday. ??

It was just ok. Not a very good menu selection. Only two waitresses in the entire restaurant. We waited 20 minutes to get drinks and order our food. The food was good but wasn’t worth the wait or the price.

Love their tamales plate. Wife liked small plate special. Take out weekly.??

Great food but not your typical Mexican food. You do get a healthy portion but the price may seem a little high. I recommend the large plate if you are hungry, but a medium plate will usually fill you up.

Dark and old and dingy. Smelled like old Barrel full of chewed tobacco. Too dark inside. Feels like entering the realm of death.
