Mariachis Mexican Restaurant

Reviewed By Brittani G

My husband and I visit Mariachi's from time to time and always enjoy! They have the best burritos I have tasted. I actually like it better than the ones I've tasted in Mexico. It's also a nice atmosphere. The service isn't always great depending on the time of the day but its never been horrible. Will definitely be back!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. I absolutely loved my sandwich and so did my husband (who is very picky). I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. Loved the bread too.

El Manhattan

Reviewed By Johnny B

This Mexican restaurant is what I would consider a cut above the norm as they offer some truly authentic dishes that you don't often encounter. For example they offer beef tongue tacos, tripe, and chitterlings along with your more common beef, chicken, pork and seafood. They have sandwiches, whole fish, and fish tacos fried or grilled. I really love the variety and everything I've tried so far has been excellent. Large portions. Good service. An excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Put on your adventurous hat and try something new and different!

Japan Restaurant

Reviewed By MikesTikibar - Lancaster, SC

We visit this place often. Sometimes we go thru the drive thru and sometime we dine in. The wait staff is very efficient and friendly and the food normally arrives quickly.... Hot and freshly cooked on the grill. Our favorite is the scallops! The last few visits they have been cooked spot on with just the right char from the grill and not overcooked to where they are tough. MMMMMM We also love their carrots and the yum yum sauce they have. You can't hardly go wrong visiting this restaurant. Give them a try!

It was good & had many options. Shrimp, chicken, veggies, ice cream, peach cobbler, pie.
It was clean & waitresses were very nice.
If you get tea to go, they charge 50 cents.

Grinder's Restaurant

Reviewed By MikesTikibar - Lancaster, SC

Grinders is a well established restaurant and has been around for many many years and is one of the locals favorite places to eat. They have really great food and the service is almost always great even when they are very busy. Just about everything we have eaten there has always been good. Give them a try...you won't be disappointed !
