We stumbled across this place on a road trip. Searched restaurants in the area and chose this one because of the good rating. We were not disapointed. The food is quite authentic and delicious. Prices were fair and the service was great. Wish it was closer to where I live! More

We stopped here on the way home from the beach and we’re very pleasantly surprised. Such good Mexican food from a small town. Big portions and affordable. Corn tortillas were fresh made.

First time trying this place. They brought out the tortilla chips and salsa pretty quick. Took our drink water. The diet drink came in a bottle. Had the taquitos, they were average. I'd come back here but I'd try something different

Ah it sucks to say it but it has really fallen downhill. The food is not as good as it used to be but the prices sure have gone higher than ever. Went from my favorite place to eat, to an avoid at all cost. Might try them again in a few months to see if they have returned to how they used to be.

The best Mexican food my husband and I have ever eaten. My husband said the El Costendo was the best shrimp and vegetable dish he has ever eaten. Who would think that this little gem restaurant is in the small town of Candor. Thank goodness it is only 25 miles from our home on Lake Tillery.

Every single time that we have visited this restaurant we have ALWAYS been impressed with the quality of their entrees. They have the best Horchata and their tacos are to die for! The prices are very reasonable.

Pricr extremely high for subpar food. 4 dollars a taco with 10% gratuity added for all takeout orders. Why am I being forced to tip when I am not eating inside. 44 dollars for 10 tacos. More

Was in the area to visit the Town Creek Indian Mound but wanted to stop for lunch first. This was a pleasant surprise! Nice service and good food, especially for the reasonable price. To those not used to a small town, this might seem a little bit of an "old" space, but I loved the character. And vegetarian options! More

I don't like leaving bad feedback and usually never do, but it was bad all around.
No one was at the front when I came in (the hostesses were too busy chatting at a table in the back right corner). When I was directed to seat myself, the table and floor were filthy. I didn't say anything, but the hostess noticed and recommended another table. I couldn't sit at the one next to mine because it too wasn't clean and neither was the floor.
My food was prepared quickly, but wasn't anything to write home about. I had chicken enchiladas. I could tell that the chicken was boiled because it was dry and had no flavor.
After finishing, no one gave me the bill. I waited and waited before I finally got up and stood at the kitchen window waiting for someone who ended up being new. Apparently my server left for the day and didn't bother telling anyone. She had no idea what I ordered and despite telling her, she still forgot to bill me for a diet coke.
To recap, this restaurant was dirty, service was awful, the chicken was dry and they failed to charge me for a drink before I left.
I don't know where the owners or management are, but someone really needs to step up the expectations here. Better service and cleanliness need to happen immediately. I can work with dry chicken lol
