I've passed this place many times as I walk along the promenade by the river. I finally decided to stop in one beautiful evening in Augusta. The patio was about half full when I got there at 6:30. Be sure to go inside to request a table on the patio. The menu is extensive and includes all of the typical choices you have at Mexican restaurants just about anywhere in America. I chose chicken fajitas and an upgraded margherita. Service was not fast.. but it was a nice night so I didn't mind. The drink was served in a plastic cup which meant the rim salt was pretty much gone when I picked up the cup. The flavor was surprisingly not good. I waited about 20 minutes for my dinner. It was served on a hot sizzling skillet... just as you would expect. The serving was generous but unfortunately had no flavor. The chicken was bland and the peppers, etc. were definitely overcooked. The flour tortillas were warm but also lacking in flavor. BTW, as is typical, you get 3 tortillas but you can get more if you ask...but there is an extra charge. It took awhile to get the check. Note that you may be charged a 3% service fee for using a credit card. The place did fill up by the time I left and others seemed to be enjoying their meals. I was disappointed but that doesn't mean you will be. Give El Presidente a shot if you are in the area.

This place is truly a Hidden Gem in Augusta. Emphasis on the "hidden" as it is located off of one of the entrances to Riverwalk. With that being said, it is definitely worth hunting out, as the food here is excellent. The prices are good, and though the service a bit slower than I like, is not bad. There is plenty of room here for parties and there is no wait anytime I've been. I always have a hard shell taco at a Mexican restaurant as a test of the quality the first time I visit, and the taco here was excellent. The beef is strongly seasoned and definitely not bland. The margaritas are good and I'll definitely be back!
