Ordered takeout so I can’t comment on the service. However, the food was very good. The fajita burrito was something different from other Mexican restaurants–I would order this again.
Hidden Gem! I loved every bite !! There were so many people we almost didn’t get a Table. I’m glad we came. Mole enchiladas proved to me they were the Real Deal ! The Mojaa (fish) was so white and flaky perfectly seasoned 🙂
I live right next-door and this place is absolutely amazing. The quality of the food and the service is always second to none. This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in all of Columbia.
The Yelp 100 Challenge officially kicked off Tuesday, 9/1/15, at Real Mexico. Real comes up #1 in the Mexican Category on Yelp in Columbia, so it seemed a fitting spot to start the Yelp 100 challenge. Full disclosure, many of us frequent Real Mexico a lot, probably second only to Taquiera Jalisco. As has been written on this blog, we love TJ’s for its street tacos, even more than Real’s tacos. However, Real has the best tortas in town, without exception. Three of the six that attended lunch – Tank, Motherboard, and Frodo, ordered tortas, with Tank’s Chori Pollo torta being the standout. There is one reason to come to Real for lunch – it is delicious. Many of the other aspects of the restaurant, as noted below, are objectionable. But with food this good, it doesn’t really matter that much. Noodles went with the combo #3, a risky play going generic at a place that does some special dishes. Even he was pleased, as Real can cook up the standards, too. The only person who was not thrilled with their order was Publican, who had chipotle chicken tacos.Real has a nice, friendly staff. However, when you are seated in the back corner of the back room, like we were, drinks can run empty for quite a while. We sat back there due to the lack of decent large group seating. Try to avoid the back room (although it does have some exceptional art back there…).At lunch, Real gets packed. When it is at full capacity, food does not fly out. Similarly, while there is on-sight parking, it is rarely enough at lunch, and the lot overflows into nearby businesses. You should keep an eye out for daily specials, which are often posted on the door. Frodo found his go-to torta that way, and he orders it even when it is not on the menu. The torta is substantially bigger than his face. And, if you are feeling like spending top lunch dollasr, try the steaming hot fajitas.As a final note, the line to pay at the register is often awkwardly long. Don’t take a seat at a table next to where the line forms if you can avoid it. You will likely eat lunch with some dude’s pants in your face. While you are in line, you should check out the large selection of sweet Mexican candy. We can only recommend the Carlos the V. The other options have been too sweet, and have often been thrown away after one bite.This statement is obviously subject to change as the Challenge proceeds but, the consensus at lunch was that while we love Real, Taquiera Jalisco is still the #1 Mexican spot in Columbia in our book – and it is not even in the top ten on Yelp. That is a travesty, Columbia. #BumpTJs
This has been my 2nd time here, I just ordered shrimp tostadas and they are absolutely amazing. Salsa has a slight kick but flavorful. Very authentic and very fresh. Can’t wait for another trip here.
Busy Place. Fast service, good food. Just which sopapilla’s were the puffy donut type and not the flour tortilla with cinnamon and sugar like they have.
