“ Authentic (and delicious) Mexican cuisine (this is where the Mexicans have lunch) with amazing service. Owned and operated by a local family for many years -can get very busy but waiting your turn will be worth it. ”
“ No joke. This place is legit. My wife and I are southern California transplants to SC and my wife is Mexican. Her grandparents came to America from Mexico (Sinaloa and Nuevo León) and brought their traditional recipes with them. I grew up in a primarily Mexican neighborhood in southern California, so we both know what good Mexican food is; trust, we're harsh critics when it comes to Mexican food. I've worked with people from Mexico who say that outside of Mexico, the best Mexican food comes from California. If we endorse this place, then you can trust my review. ”
“ Excellent service, very clean & authentic food, super yummy The agua de pina was fresh ! Definitely 5 oh and the guacamole to die for ”
“ Nice Mexican place! Conveniently located in North Augusta. Prices are very reasonable and service is great. There's a large parking lot out front too. My husband and I shared the fajitas for two, it was $16 and HUGE! We had a bunch of leftovers for breakfast the next day too. Definitely a good place to check out! ”
“ Gorditas are very authentic & not greasy at all. Ask for the hotter salsa. Don't expect much for ambience, but then you are not paying for it either. I'll definitely be back! ”
“ These tacos are amazing. My favorite is Lengua ( yes, tongue). I have tried every place for tongue tacos and these are the best! ”
“ We have been in search of some AUTHENTIC Mexican food. Coming from Tucson, we are not fans of Tex-Mex which is very common not this side of the country. I had rolled tacos that were great! The carne asada that my husband ordered was to seasoned and tasty. The only draw back and why i cannot give this place 5 stars is because the service was HORRIBLE! The young lady that was at the counter talked with what looked her family that was eating there. She paid very little attention to us. At one point she went outside to show her family that finally left something that happened to her car in the parking lot. We would come back here just because of the food. The hostess/server is just so inattentive. ”
“ Awesome place for authentic Mexican food. I got the SLP special, which was $9.50 and included a burrito, enchilada, taco, tostada, chile relleno, and rice and beans. Huge amount of food, needless to say, I took half of it home. My girlfriend got Vegetarian A special and loved it too. Very clean place and really good. I am from California and have lived off of Mexican for my whole life...this is definitely in my top 10 of Mexican restaurants in the world...I have been to tons! ”
“ I'll start this review off by saying I am a Northerner. Around New York City, there are a lot of Mexican/South American restaurants, and there are a lot of Central/South American people. Competition is fierce! Of course there are tons of restaurants there that serve bland, mediocre "americanized" mexican food, just as there are here in Augusta. But there are a few places that serve really GOOD authentic medixcan places, and I used to go all the time. Having lived down here for a year now, I had a serious craving for some "real" authentic Mexican food for quite some time. I've tried the various restaurants around the city, and found them all to be lacking. But it drove me crazy--there are plenty of people from Central and South America around here, where do they go when they want a little taste of home? There HAD to be a place SOMEWHERE. And then I found it. I was let in on the secret. SLP. A couple of us decided to go and take a gander at what they offered, and it did not disappoint. First off, let me say the restaurant itself is small, clean, and sparsely decorated. It's actually pretty much NOT decorated, so if you like restaurants with fancy decor, this is definitely not the place for you. Also, the restaurant(at least that day) was very warm, either they don't have AC, don't turn it on, or they like it warm, I don't know. There is a big TV behind the counter playing Soccer highlights and Latin movies, both of which were fun to watch. The service; Well, it was great! She didn't really speak english, and it was just one person, but we got across our order(kept it simple, just sort of trusted they would figure out what was good and give it to me), and she was prompt with delivering our drinks and responding to requests. We were immediately served chips and salsa, which tasted freshly made. They were set upon and GONE in a matter of minutes. We had to ask for more! The food came out quickly. The portions were HUGE. The taste? Unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, they have some "americanized" mexican food options, and the people who ordered those dishes were extremely happy. No evidence of the plates of "slop" as seen in other restaurants around here. All too often you get a plate with a splatter of beans, a lump of rice, and a burrito in there somewhere. This was much more cleanly presented, but that didn't mean there wasn't a TON of food. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. It was what I think of as "real" mexican food. No crunchy yellow pre-made taco shells(nothing against those, I love those, but that's not authentic in my mind), no globs of sour cream and piles of Kroger brand cheddar cheese. This was REAL mexican food. And it was spectacular. The tacos were great, we tried a variety of the options and all were generously filled, tasty, and cheap! The chimichanga was delicious. The quesadilla had perfectly cooked chicken, and the fajitas were delicious and generous(like I said, not all authentic mexican food, there was some americanized stuff there). I really can't say there was anything that we ordered that wasn't good. It was all delicious! And lastly, the price. We all ate like kings and had enough for another meal in our take-out boxes. And none of us paid more than 10-12 dollars. I even had a beer with my dinner! In short, looking for delicious mexican food? Go here!! ”
