So out of 10 reviews so far one person rates it a 1 star because of poor service. Mind you NOT the food but just the service which is his right BUT it drops the overall rating down to a 4.0
Point being is that, individual rating aside, this is bar none the best Mexican food in the area. I spend half the month in El Paso TX and half the month in Columbia and this would do business in El Paso where 85 percent of the populace is Hispanic. I also travel alot into los Angeles and again if I had an LA transplant/visitor this is where I would take them.
The Mole is excellent. I have yet to taste an authentic style mole anywhere else in Columbia or St Louis. Perfect blend of sweetness and spices. Every other Mole tastes like the sauce came straight outta the glass jar. Also Carne Asada and Barbacoa tacos/burritos are great. Chips and Salsa are top notch especially the Salsa.
Nothing wrong with the Jimadors and Las Margaritas of Columbia If ur of a certain persuasion that enjoys your Fajitas seasoned with Lawry's Seasoned Salt BUT if you're feeling like ur wanting a more traditional taste please make this place your go to and treat those other places like you would a Taco Bell (unless u really really really like Taco Bell which I do from...

A great place to check out and eat. Make sure to take a peek at the store downstairs. They sell everything from belts to an assortment of...
Read moreNormally not the one to write a review. Especially a bad one.
However, this one felt necessary. Ended up ordering 8 asada tacos and 2 carnitas tacos and once they hit the table it was game over. Smell was very unpleasant and honestly made me and my partner sick to our stomach. Definitely couldn’t eat those tacos. Meat smelled like liver or just real gamey
I honestly feel terrible because the guy behind the counter was very nice to us. I’m not the person to ask for a refund or make a scene . So me and my partner left. 40 dollars later and still hungry isn’t how I expected my Saturday...
