    One of my favorite taco spots around town. Their weekly specials are always great including their monday BOGO al pastor (which is fantastic), and Wednesday gringas special. Pretty much any location you go-to is spot on. The last time I went they had a Quesobirria special on the same day as their spicy shrimp tacos 🤌chef's kiss🤌 Gauchos will always be a go-to taco spot.

    Each time I visit, I love the menu items I order. Everything is fresh and well-prepared. Not to mention, the food comes out super quick! Great spot for a quick bite, especially if you're not there during peak hours. It can get busy during the lunch rush. They recently moved locations within the same plaza and have even more dine-in seating.

    Really excellent Mexican food. Outstanding guacamole. Make sure you ask for the Habanero, Onion Relish (Salsa). It’ll make yur Gal Crawl, yur Liver Quiver, and yur Bladder Splatter…!!!

    Let me start by saying, I love this place and have been a customer for over 5 years-literally eating here 2/3 times a week… but since the recent changes and how the “new” place is being managed, I will drive 20 mins to another location. I paid .50 a cup for each of these (and if I would have eaten in, it’s free) but you couldn’t even bother to fill it up? Gotta do better Los.

    The tacos al pastor were great! The pineapple really made them! The chips and guac was tasty too! My favorite sauce was the green sauce. Come on Monday or Wednesday for food specials! You won’t be disappointed!

    Authentic tacos! Service was fairly quick here. Keep an eye out for tacos deals here as well. Everything was pretty well priced. Place is very tidy and staff if very helpful. I had the steak tacos which were pretty good, just had to add the guac based sauce to get that flavor!

    Food is great but customer service was horrible. If I’m pay $50 for food do you think I care about paying an extra $.50 for some habanero and onion mix? Front lady made a big deal about me wanting 4… charge my card. I said I wanted 4. Go to Sawmill Rd location they are very friendly!

    LOVE the Al Pastor!! I got the burrito. The added pineapple really compliments all the flavors. The horchata is also amazing.

    Great tacos and you can’t beat the price and service!… no longer. Not impressed after coming back at their new location. Food is WAY overpriced now and the service is terrible.

    They have different specials on each days. I ordered the spicy shrimp, beef tongue and Al pastor tacos. I like the beef tongue one the best, which had large portions of meat and tasted juicy. The Al Pastor tasted great with a piece of sweet pineapple. But their service could be improved. The server did not serve me anything, like forks or water, but a plate of tacos.

    I'm really kind of disappointed... I have seen the reviews and thought it would be amazing, but it wasn't. The restaurant has got a good interior and atmosphere. The service was really poor - the girl waiting on us had no suggestions and seemed annoyed we were asking her questions. My burrito was OK, but nothing special. Wifie got their taco salad, and that was a major disappointment. Really, unimpressed with this place.

  • 5/5 Ella P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, and fairly quick service! Their Pina colada (non alcoholic) is sooo good, and would definitely recommend! Staff was friendly, and it was kept clean inside!

  • 2/5 beth d. 7 months ago on Google
    Got to the Friday specials. 2 burria tacos and with consume and shrimp burrito. $30 which was expensive based on size. tacos didn't have much flavor, not my favorite. Burrito was spicy and better but still nothing to go back for. Nice outdoor seating area

    A bit confusing when ordering but they staff is very kind and patient. There isn’t any wait staff. Which can be an issue at times. The food never fails your tastebuds. Fresh crisp hot delicious food. Monday lunch special on tacos is great.

  • 3/5 Mike H. 5 months ago on Google
    The tacos were good, probably the only thing I'd prefer ever again. The chicken was bad like it was boiled. The burrito was tiny for the price. We sat at the bar and it was dirty. The staff was busy talking, had to go over and order.

  • 1/5 Mike T. 1 year ago on Google
    I chose the Don Patron "big" burrito, and chose chicken as my protein. The chicken tasted old...that strong gamey taste poultry gets after 1 or 2 days. They were nice enough to take it back and gave me a new one with steak. The steak was fresh...but unfortunately hardly seasoned. There is a lot of meat in this burrito...but hardly anything else. It was very bland. Also the meat had tons of gristle. Spent $15 for it and didn't even eat half. First time eating here and most likely the last time.

    Food is great. However when ordering online or via apps like DoorDash they never add the peppers and onions no matter you out on the order. It’s printed in the receipt and they are never included.

  • 5/5 Luvia H. 1 year ago on Google
    By far our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Real authentic Mexican food. Love the al pastor tacos and tripas!!

  • 5/5 Ani B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is always SO CLEAN, and that is just the icing on the cake. Their food is amazing, I frequently get the tacos al pastor. Very authentic food here, best in Columbus!!

  • 5/5 Xavier C. 10 months ago on Google
    I have been coming to this location since I saw it rated #3 on Food Network's website some time ago. Even though they opened 2 other locations they have somehow been able to maintain quality across all 3 restaurants. That's very impressive. I have seen Los Guachos go from a busy diamond in the rough to growing clientele, renovating their restaurants with full service bars and expanding their menu. This restaurant is always busy but that's what you want. Parking can be crowded so be prepared. Well worth the wait. Fast and friendly staff, quality eats, good ambiance. Great place for any occasion.

    Absolutely horrible! Will NEVER GO BACK!. Pastor tasted like chemicals not flavor, no pineapple. Moms fish tacos were garbage 2 was tough to finish, dad said it was a C class at best. Horchata was the only tolerable item. Horrible! Taco bell is WAY better

  • 5/5 Laura P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic authentic al pastor. Go on Mondays for half off tacos or Wednesdays for $2 gringas. Or get a don patron burrito any other day! We go almost every week, yum

    Authentic Mexican food that is very good! It has a quaint, comfortable atmosphere. I ordered a chorizo quesadilla which was quite large so it lasted me 2 days. It was pretty amazing!

  • 3/5 Brian C. 1 year ago on Google
    I want to give 5 stars because the food is very good but I can't. They took peppers away from the tables, and now make you pay for them. The staff really enforces this insane attitude that the hot peppers are to be rationed and saved. Am I missing something where the world is in a pepper shortage? There should be no reason to charge for these when they used to be out free and many of us like our food spicy if not hot. Due to this and the price increase I have not been going like I used to. When it was $1.25 per taco el pastor it was well worth it, now you have to be in deep crave mode to go. I know many businesses have raised prices but to go to $2,50?

    Ordering was excruciatingly difficult. One employee was training and didn't understand what I meant when I said the number 3. The employee who was doing the training understood a great deal more but when it came to certain changes to a food item, neither understood the specifics. I'm a very patient person but when you look confused, then look as if you understand, then I find you actually didn't, it's f frustrating. We had to have an order remade. We'd already waited a very long time for my daughter's family's order and she had called hers in; it also was made wrong. My daughter asked the trainee on the phone what came on the quesadilla; she was told meat and cheese. Well, it actually comes with onions in addition to the meat and cheese. That had to be remade and we'd already waited longer to get her call ahead meal than the one I ordered in person. We were there for about 45 minutes before we got to leave with food... food that was finally correct. I have always lived this place and the people who work there are normally a little shaky on their English. This is absolutely to be expected and there is nothing wrong with that. They care, they do a great job, the food is tasty (albeit often greasy), and I love the deeply carved and decorated wooden chairs and tables, it's gorgeous. However, I've never come into contact with someone who can't tell you what is and isn't in their food. I'm pretty sure employee one was training, if so, then why is she answering the phone alone, unable to answer questions, or appropriately enter the good into the system. This experience was...I hope, isolated.

    Delicious, authentic al pastor! I've never had bad food or service at this location. Everyone is always exceptionally nice and the service is fast. Did I mention that the food is delicious? 🥰🌮
