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!

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…

Most hole in the wall little gems, are found via word of mouth. The outside never ever tells the real story, that’s where many are deceived or put off. Be adventurous, take walk on the wild side, you won’t be disappointed (most of the time). That’s how I found this little place.

Went here with my family, the outside of the restaurant is very dirty and ran down. My sister tried to order a sweet tea and they didn’t have tea. We thought we would get complimentary chips and salsa with our meal but they charged for it. The salsa was hands down the worst salsa I have ever ate, it tasted like pizza sauce with cilantro. Our chips and salsa was 7 dollars. I ordered a fajita with queso on top, but I didn’t get cheese dip on top I got shredded cheese. The cheese was cold and tasted like mozzarella. My steak and chicken was barely warm, and it was way to salty. Our bill was pretty expensive for very unappetizing food and scenery.

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

A hidden food gem!! Found this place out of luck while trying to find a taco spot to eat at. Their tacos were on point/ fast service. A must go to spot!

Top shelf authentic Mexican. The place is hidden, tiny and a little rough, but, the food and service far outweighs those opinions.
