“The food is ALWAYS on spot. The restaurant & restrooms are always clean, but my favorite thing about this spot is the customer service. Every single person ALWAYS makes you feel welcomed & truly appreciated. It’s definitely our go to place for Mexican food.“
“Absolutely wonderful food, people, and place! The only issue we had was trying to find parking because they were so busy lol I wasn't mad though, it meant the food was going hot! We had a party of 10, fresh from visiting our grandmother's graveside and this place was just what we needed. They really took care of us. Thank you all!“
“For my first time going here I was honestly impressed with what I got. Customers service was cool, vibes were cool, food wasn't mid. The portion of food I got was perfect for what I ordered. 10/10 not a mid place. Will definitely be coming here again and again. Also I would suggest cutting the limes in 4 decent size piece the quarters are too small. But regardless of my opinion since I'm no one important I still enjoyed the food.“
“Great place to eat here in Anderson, SC?❤️ The service is unique and exceptional ? All the food they serve here, including the chips and salsa, is made at the moment, so yes is exceptional and delicious Recommend to everyone, especially if you are a TRUCK DRIVER, there's a parking lot in the back of the place to park and go grab something delicious and made at the moment. The first time (Dinner), I got a mocajete plate (Lunch) time the next day I got lunch mar y tierra, and both were amazing ? ?.“
“This little Mexican food place had a packed parking lot a little after 1PM on a Sunday afternoon. They still were able to seat us without a wait and served up very delicious enchiladas, quesadillas and their version of Mexican tacos. The roasted scallions and peppers were a surprise and very delicious. Service was excellent and very fast as well both in greeting us taking the order and turn around to serve the meals. Really glad Cracker Barrel's wait was so long we made this plan b. It ended up way better. ?“
“I've never had to make any are any of my food there was only one thing I didn't much care for but it was nothing to do with the Cook just wasn't my cup tea always ask for Miguel's table he's a great way to waiter he's really good at checking in people's tables and making sure everybody has what they need he's polite kind does a great I really have nothing negative to say about any of the dining room services they all seem pretty kind and friendly“
“You've likely passed by this little dive because of its appearance. It IS an old building, on a side road, without much parking or curb appeal. Remember the old adage "don't judge a book by its cover"? Inside this restaurant, you'll find a dated but impeccably clean dining area and friendly staff. Servers are always patient with those of us who are used to texmex/taco bell cuisine. If you've not eaten here yet, you've done yourself a great disservice. The food here is the most authentic Mexican that you'll find in this town. You WILL not be disappointed with your meal.“
“Amazing customer service, amazing food!!! I mistakenly went to their location that’s closed for renovation and missed picking up my food. They refunded it next day without my even asking, and when I messaged asking about possibly getting the order remade since I had missed picking it up, the owner called me and explained that they had already refunded me but would be glad to redo the order. I was so impressed with how helpful they were, and when we got the food home… WOW!!!! Highly recommend the steak and the carnitas, and the street corn. And the rice. And basically everything else.. We’re picky about our tacos but this is outstanding!!!! So glad to have these guys in Anderson!“
“(Translated by Google) Very good food, just that they need more people, so as not to make customers wait long for the rest, very good service and excellent food(Original)Muy buena comida solo que nececitan mas gente oara no hacer esperar mucho a los clientes de lo de mas muy buen servicio y la comida excelente“
“We used to go the El Arriero on Hwy 24, but we moved away. We were in town yesterday and heard they opened a new one. We had to try it and the food was as fabulous. They make the best Texas Margarita and our waiter was excellent. As always, an excellent experience. We will definitely go back this summer. It is on the lake and has a fantastic 360 view!“
“Last night my husband and I went here for the second time. We had the Beria tacos. Which aren’t on the menu . The waitress suggested them and they were probably the best ones I’ve ever had , the watermelon water was amazing also . She brought us out two types of Salsa’s which were delicious. Service and food are amazing at this place . Food taste authentic and I’m picky about Mexican food. Haven’t had this good of Mexican food since living in California! . This place is by far the best in Anderson! We will frequently eat here !“
“This is my go to taco spot. I won't go anywhere else within 100 miles but this place. The meat is always fresh and their birria tacos are to die for! Everytime we come here we have amazing service and their staff makes you feel like family!! 10/10 recommend!!!“
“I really enjoyed my visit and the food. It was a Monday mid day and the food was great, the waitress was so pleasant and personable. I will be back! There wasp,entry of parking available for the size of the restaurant and it offers an easy off and on from 85.“
“The truth is, I did like the food at this restaurant, it has very good seasoning, the sauces also have a rich flavor, the tortillas are freshly made, very soft, the only thing that makes it look better is the bathroom and the restaurant because it lacks repairs of Remodeling, it is old but the food is very well seasoned ???I recommend it ??♀️?by trying you don't lose anything ??♀️the owners are very kind and humble“
“We met with friends at this place for lunch. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. The crew welcomed us with a smile and we had an excellent feeling. The meal was delicious. We had a great time and we will definitely return to this restaurant. We recommend this place to all.“
“Nice and quiet on a sunday afternoon. Quaint atmosphere. Fast service. Big variety of food. Salsa and chips was really fresh and good. Cheese yummy. I had shrimp fajitas. They were very flavorful. Shrimp were large and perfectly cooked along with the onions peppers and tomatoes. They substituted the rice for beans for me. I had sweet tea to drink and it was really good as well. It actually was sweet. I will visit again.“
“I actually love this place but I'm a little biased as how I been eating at this Mexican restaurant through different owners and name changes for about 15 years or so. My big fuss about the place is I wonder from time to time if certain employees make up prices because even though my order is the same the price never is.“
“First time at this establishment, and overall had a great experience at El Arriero. Ordered some drinks (Neon Margarita, Cantarito) which were very good ! Both tasted how they’re supposed to with a generous amount of tequila. Also ordered some small dishes which came out quickly. Food was delicious and tasty. All the staff we talked to were very nice and helpful. Always making sure we were good. I will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks. They have a WIDE VARIETY of (alcoholic) drinks to choose from.“
“Caleb was our server and he was great! He was friendly, fast, and got everything right. As always the food was delicious, hot and fresh! I had the shredded beef in the molcajete sauce with vegetables and it was amazing, so savory and tender! My wife had the salmon and she said it was wonderfully seasoned and delicious. The music was festive and fun and we enjoyed our meal very much.“
“Definitely coming back. Enchiladas were great (i prefer beef personally, the chicken one here is good though. Cheese and bean were good, but im not a fan in general). Service was outstanding, felt like regulars. The atmosphere was awesome, love the Aesthetic this place has.“
“I was recently there for dinner on wing night, Wednesday. I have previously reviewed them for there being a disconnect between the menu and the food that's served.I had the same bartender as before and I'm happy to say the service was outstanding, even flawless. And I had a good time.“
“My first time and definitely won’t be my last. From the time I walked in until the time I left I was treated wonderful. My servers name was Jamie and she was simply incredible and so kind in every way! They were extremely busy as it was dinner time but we had no issues with getting our drinks or food. The food was so delicious and great portion sizes!“
“I'd like to highlight one of your employees, Karissa! First and foremost, I visit this location when I am visiting friends and family. My first time here, the service & food was outstanding! Over the next few months, I would make an effort to visit this location specifically where I know I would have consistent service each time. Karissa is very personable and sweet! The staff is well trained and I've never had a bad experience here. Even if I did have a bad experience, I feel comfortable speaking to the staff about it because everyone is so professional and easy going. Great job Anderson Barberitos Team!“
“I'm beyond impressed. After moving to Anderson in the fall, we've tried a few mexican food joints, this one was BY FAR the winner. The carnita meat is something I love, there's was possibly the best I've had. Flavor profile was 5 Star. Salsa, both regular and spicy tasted fresh and homemade. Cannot wait to return, many many times!“
