Reviews
We ordered the chilaquiles with chicken the chilaquiles sauce was super salty. The French fries were salty, where you can see the amount of salt they added on. Also, the service was not great. We got there and didn't feel welcomed no hello or guidance on where to sit, they basically said sit anywhere, which is okay. But took a while to give us service. When I asked the waitress about the menu items she was very unsure of what the menu items had. The steak tacos were okay, however there were several peices of fat instead of actual steak. The biggest let down and disappointment was the chips and salsa, the salsa was straight up Herdez canned salsa all they did was add cilantro and onions- this is supposed to be mexican food what is this. Lol. I couldn't believe it. The margarita was premixed, like the one you find at the store, all they did was pour it over ice. I do not recommend this place, food was below average, salsa was store brought, service was lack luster they're not even trying. We ended up spending about $68 on the food, which was a huge disappointment.
This place is a hidden gem.
Authentic Mexican flavors, all the things we tried were delicious.
Gorditas, tacos and the chilaquiles with Carne asada just on point.
I just wish they open earlier in the morning to have breakfast there.
Service is fast and friendly.
Food was absolutely delicious as well as the margarita! The business does look a little shady when approaching but I think it’s because of the attached drive thru and constant traffic, but we still gave it a shot! Not much seating inside but they are never busy. We didn’t get the customer oriented vibe when we came. The women behind the counter/checkout didn’t seem to pay much mind to the customers only when you ordered. Not once was we checked on. Regardless I would order takeout and come back to try another dish! Definitely a legit example of a hole in the wall. But good food!
They literally have the best tacos ever, best queso ever. I can't say they have best customer service, though I have no complaints... and I can say that it's probably not some where that you will want to sit and eat (they don't have the neatest environment or a spacious environment), yet that's never going to stop me from getting those tacos and taking them home 😋
Tacoriendo is one of my favorite, IF not, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus. It officially has my stamp of approval! And the prices are so affordable...
Best authentic Mexican around. This is the hole-in-the-wall you have been looking for- not the chain everyone else goes to.
Tacos are great and I enjoyed the laid back family restaurant atmosphere. The queso is pretty basic and the chips and salsa are not complementary like most other Mexican restaurants but the salsa is really good. Also happy hour is from 4-8pm Monday- Friday.
Don't judge a book by the cover! This place has great authentic tasting food. Call me weird but I squeeze the lime on the burrito then put mild sauce on top and it gives it a even more excellent flavor! All ingredients is fresh. This was my first time at this restaurant. Heard about it from some friends and I never wanted to try because of how the building looks but today I did and I don't regret it. I will be returning. Glad to have experience this restaurant
