los guachos taqueria

too much praise = impossible. this place is exquisite. it isn't white table cloths and fine china, but the food is excellent, definitely the best mexican i've had in columbus.

my understanding is that this restaurant is the store-front expansion of a columbus taco truck. if so, their transition to brick & mortar restaurant was well-done. this place is small and tucked away in a small strip mall 120 yards off bethel road. the restaurant is small with limited seating and a fully visible kitchen.

you order from a counter, and they bring the food to your table. the service is exceedingly friendly. food didn't take long to arrive, but didn't turn around so fast that you're suspicious that it's pre-made or fresh from the microwave.

the food is in a word - awesome. i got the tacos gauchos (if a place puts their name on a menu item, i make a point to order it) and a taco al pastor (they say they have the best in town, so i needed to try). both were excellent.

the tacos guachos was grilled steak, fajitas vegetables, cheese, and covered in bacon. it came with a side of tortillas. they bring limes and pickled habaneros to the table, along with several kinds of salsa which really spices things up and elevated my meal.

and the taco al pastor was dynamite. it was a mix of tender and juicy and crispy and came with a slice of fresh pineapple on top which i was not excited about conceptually but was utterly delicious and a very nice complement to the meat.

this place is also affordable, and a good value. i can't recommend it highly enough.

i have absolutely no idea where all of the "great" reviews were written by but thank you to all who gave this tasteless mexican place great reviews..you helped me waste both my money and time! tasteless, no chips, no salsa,never again!

this is mexican food, not american mex. food here is fantastic and authentic, and at good prices. i'm cracked up by the person who gave the place a negative review because they didn't get chips and salsa. there are already dozens of generic am-mex places in town where you can get your crunchy tacos, cheese enchiladas, salsa and chips, guacamole, etc; in fact there's one right around the corner on bethel rd. this is not that kind of place. this is the real deal, and by far the best real mexican food in columbus.

not gonna lie, i thought i was stepping into a real life scene from bridesmaids when i rolled up to this place... but was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food was. the past few months i have been searching for an actual flavorful and spicy taco, with all short north places falling short, and this place seems to be it!

taco truck dinner. we ventured out for a taco truck dinner and decided to try los guachos taqueria on commerce drive - incredible! we had 3 tacos al pastor, a quesadilla al pastor and a gringas al pastor an each was unbelievable. the pork tenderloin was moist and full of flavor, hand-carved off a large rotating spit with a huge pineapple basting it all on top. fresh, delicious, and inexpensive. friendly people serving fantastic food.

los guachos is reliably good.. this little place is a favorite "go-to" taco shop. the staff is always friendly and low key. the menu is simple. i order two things that are best in class citywide: the tacos al pastor, and the fish tacos. the al pastor is authentic fire roasted and hand turned. the fish tacos feature a generous piece of crispy fish with their own sauce and shredded lettuce, with a squeeze of fresh lime and a little tabletop verde salsa, two is a perfect meal.

feels like the best mexican food this side of columbus. love the big bowl of marinated peppers and fresh limes on each table! i will definitely be back.

this place is the place to go for tacos!! we went here on a recommendation from a friend, and loved it. we started off with chips, salsa, and guac. chips were fine, fresh, salt, just like you would want, but let's be honest, i wouldn't waste my time again on them, because the start of the meal was so good.

i ordered a taco el pastor, a chorizo taco and the gringa. on the el pastor taco the combo of the pork and the sweetness of the pineapple was absolutely perfect. speaking of perfectness... the chorizo taco brought it's a game as well. the gringa was very good( it's the same as the el pastor, except it's a flour tortilla and has melted cheese). i would order all three again and just skip the chips. the best thing about this place or the prices. 1.50 for tacos is awesome. they also have a special buy one get one on mondays. 20/10, will definitely be going back

the atmosphere was good for an old strip mall location. the crowd was very diverse and many people loved the food. for me, the hype outperformed the product. tacos were average.

absolutely the best tacos in ohio. we had 5 different types of tacos, a burrito, and quesadilla and it was so much food and so good. first time there and the staff gave some great recommendations which we followed and he was right on. definitely a return to place.

the tacos are fantastic, be sure to order more than one because they are small. service was quick and friendly despite how busy they were. we also had a tasty torta sandwich. we had it made with chicken. my husband is happy because he can get his lengua tacos again

this restaurant is the real deal.  stepping through the door, you feel like you've taken a trip to mexico . . . most customers and the staff are hispanic . . . and the food is excellent.  try the rice drink too . . . delicious!  

this restaurant is now on our will-go-back-to-again list!

foodgasm. my coworkers and i go weekly! we cannot get enough of the gringas! best food i have ever had honestly!!!

the strangest "mexican" food i've ever experienced. bowls of limes the size of basketballs on every table, a cauldron of what i assume must have been some sort of habanero "slaw" mixture that literally took my breath away. if this was my first taste of "mexican" food i would never eat it again. tiny portions. lackluster employees and completely tasteless, except for the cauldron of habanero whatever it was.

awesome fish tacos. recently stopped in at los guachos for the first time after hearing about the amazing al pastor gringas, and overall they did not disappoint! it's a very casual place when you walk in where you order at the counter and find a seat if you can. the tacos are fairly cheap, and they come out ridiculously fast which is great! i ordered a tripe taco, fish taco, and an al pastor gringa. the tripe taco was pretty mediocre- very dry and average flavor, but the gringa was good. the pastor was tender, flavorful, and delicious and could be eaten on its own and thoroughly enjoyed! my gringa came with very little cheese and one very small slice of pineapple, so it's a good thing the meat was flavorful or i would have been disappointed. the star of the show was actually the fish taco! it was very large for $2 compared to the $1.50 taco i got and it had perfectly fried fish, a little slaw, and a perfect mildly spicy sauce to finish it off. overall i will definitely come back to los guachos for the fish tacos, pastor meat, and fairly cheap prices.
