Not bad food but $18 for a large marg, average tacos, and food coming out late wasn't the best experience.

I heard this place was pretty good, don't know where they got that from. I ordered a shrimp dish, it was bland and zero seasoning. I put salt and pepper on it, didn't help much. The salsa was bland with little to no spice in it. Waiter seemed inconvinced by my presence, didn't greet me, asked what I wanted to drink, brought it, then came back a few minutes later to get my order. When he brought my food, he didn't ask me if there was anything more I needed. Sad to say, but Moe's is better! I won't waste my money here again.

The chicken fajitas were dry and did not have any flavor. The chicken on the street tacos was very bland and they got my dad's order wrong. Margaritas were great!

If a restaurant doesn't close till 10:00 and I'm there by 9:00 I expect to be treated as a regular customer. When we showed up at 8:55 we were treated as if we were being rushed out the door our order was taken one person at a time or food was brought to us one person at a time they didn't want to bring us any salsa heaven forbid we asked for cheese dip cuz it came cold and clumpy and then their food is so much salt on it it was enough to make anybody have blood pressure issues

This is a wonderful restaurant! The staff are always smiling and accommodating! My son and I ordered two entrees and I had to send mine back because the shrimp was undercooked. I felt bad for asking but the waiter promptly took it back and the cook brought it back after about 8 minutes and wanted to make sure the shrimp looked good. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and were much better. We had the following: Steak burrito-HUGE as big as a dinner plate; at least 3 servings and was delicious.5/5 Shrimp Cancun- 5/5 with a fresh salad with chopped mangos and stir fried squash, bell peppers, onions. Sooo Good! 5/5. Will go back again!

This is our #1 go to spot for Mexican food in Clemson! Located near the university and on the main road with many other dining options. Atmosphere is very authentic and southern vibes, you can tell they put a lot into the seating, wall and ceiling textures and decor too, even the lighting is unique. The food comes out so fast and tastes great, they have a lot of fajita and burrito options and many other combos and entrees as well. Definitely that authentic Mexican restaurant taste everyone loves and craves. I got the enchiladas supreme plate that includes 5 enchiladas. The sauces and meats are all cooked so well. All so tasty and worth trying if you enjoy them! I ordered a big Pina colada this time too and wasn't as impressed, didn't have a ton of flavor unfortunately. Chips and salsa are great here and come out hot n fresh! Will return next time I'm in town as well, a new staple and tradition for us bc we love great food!

We arrived and were second in line to be seated. We waited for 20 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us. We were minutes away from leaving and probably should have. They were busy but very disorganized. Seemed like they were ill prepared for crowds. At one point we had a line behind us going out the door into the parking lot. Most of those people gave up however and went elsewhere. We should have too. We ordered our food including a cheese dip which we expected before our dinner arrived but didn’t arrive until after our entrees came and even though I canceled it they still brought it out anyway. The meals were less than par. My steak in the fajitas was burnt to a crisp. I couldn’t taste the meat over the char. My refried beans were like water with no consistency. Don’t think I will be going back here.

Terrible service and customer satisfaction. You ask for something they screwed up and they charge you for it. The wife’s nachos came with almost zero cheese and we were charged $6 for something we should have gotten in the first place. Food was ok at best

Was in town for a weekend event and decided to stop by because I was hankering for Mexican food and it was near the hotel. Went two different nights and have to say first night service was great, attentive server and food was fantastic tasted great.Second night no so much, asked for coke and water only recieved coke. Even after asking directly a second time to the waiter. I also asked for the texano ACP, yeah I know basic white dude meal but sometimes you just want rice, cheese, and protein. However, even after hearing waiter say texano it seems they put in steak and steak was presented. Honestly a bit disappointed but was too tired and hungry to bring it, granted it also didn't help that barely saw waiter after they brought food.So overall it's a decent place food wise but your service will probably vary..

Our first time here and not disappointed. Lots of parking. Servers were quick and attentive. Food was really good. I had the fajita taco salad with chicken. Very delicious. My husband had a shrimp n scallop quesadilla. The size did was bigger than expected and tasty. Plenty of chips n salsa. Many options for hot sauces. Margarita was good. Strawberry daiquiri was good but I like a handmade one better than one that comes from a machine. All n all a thumbs up.
