    Great Mexican restaurant we found passing through Columbia, SC. Our meals came out quickly . We had the seafood appetizer which was awesome even though it had onions in it. Onions are not my favorite food. I was surprised on a Friday night at 6:45 pm that it was not busy. Mayb e because it was the day before Valentine's Day plus there are soooo many restsurants around it. Huge menu selection!! I got the avacodo salad with the cilantro dressing on the side. I had never had cilantro dressing and discovered it was really good. Our waitress did a nice job! Quick seating. Very nicely decorated for Valentine's Day!

    This restaurant truly delivers an authentic taste of Mexico. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes and drinks, each capturing different flavors from across Mexico. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere makes you feel like you've stepped into the country itself. The aesthetics are beautifully done, and the music perfectly complements the vibe. On top of that, the customer service was excellent and made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a genuine Mexican dining experience, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent dinner tonight at Don Tequilas Mexican Grill. We had the Seafood Rolls as a starter, my entree was the Avocado Salad with Grilled Chicken. Both were superb! I haven't seen Seafood Rolls at any other Mexican restaurant, these were delicious. The Avocado Salad with Grilled Chicken was excellent. The chicken was seasoned to perfection without being spicy or overnearing. Definitely recommend giving this place a try. This was our first visit.

    We were sat immediately as the place was empty. Our waitress came over after a while and apologized for the wait as they celebrated a birthday a few tables away. We order our drinks, food and dessert all together as we had that much time to look at the menu. First thing of was the fried ice cream. Dessert before dinner was a nice treat. Our food came out hot and delicious. The burrito tasted good. The rice had sliced boiled onion slices in it. Maybe that's a thing here in SC but I'm not used to slices of onion in my rice. The rice was bland and I seasoned it up the salsa that came with the chips. The waitress checked on us once through out the rest of the stay. She was tending to a larger group outside which left our table out of sight. One she had a minute, I was able to pay and she was quickly hurried in mus sentence back to the kitchen by another worker. My daughter and I looked at each other like... is she coming back? That was the weirdest thing to ever happen at a restaurant. She was literally in mid sentence and walked away as soon as the other waitress said something to her in passing. Maybe there was an emergency and everyone is OK. Not sure if I'll go back as I've had better food and customer service locally. If I do, I'll update my review.
