Banditos Tacos & Tequila Columbia

Food: was good. The queso dip was really good

Service: waiter was great. Very friendly. Overall service was extremely slow though.

The Banditos crew has brought their amazing food, atmosphere and service to Columbia and knocked it out of the park !! Food is awesome - can’t go wrong with the nachos and tacos. Drinks are delicious - great margaritas and giant draft beers. Servers are great. Love it here

Visited on 2/14 at 1pm. Nice atmosphere, service was okay. Waitress was friendly, a little too familiar /unprofessional as she sometimes dropped the f-bomb when talking. It caught my husband and I off guard. Like other reviews mentioned, food is overpriced for the quality and quantity. Pictured is the grease that was under the hamburger nachos appetizer that we ordered (recommended by the waitress before realizing that we get complimentary nachos). Did not like the taste of mayonnaise in the nachos which was later clarified to be a crema with a heavy mayonnaise base. Also pictured if the size of the tacos. Each of the tacos pictured cost $5.50 +tax. Compared to other places, just seemed small for the price. The Baja shrimp taco was tasty outside of the coleslaw at the bottom. I’m sure that was the only time that I will visit that restaurant.

This was my first time dining in the Merriwether District. Everything has a very classy - modern look to it. There was a decent amount of seating available when I arrived. The food seems to be made from fresh ingredients. There seemed to be an issue ordering the steak in our meals not cooked Well Done. The burrito while not delicious was also not very memorable. For $15, I was looking for higher quality guacamole. All in all a decent experience. Just bite that the customer service and atmosphere are carrying a heavier load as the food is average.

I've been to Banditos a few times now and we've always been met with excellent and timely service. Our most recent visit, Sarah was helping us and she was amazing! She took great care of us, and helped us seamlessly use our Banditos rewards from the app. The food itself is good, if a little overpriced - I recommend coming in for Happy Hour when possible. My favorite tacos are the pork belly, the avocado and the blackened shrimp. Would recommend, but always leave feeling like the bill is a little steeper than it should be.
