As I sit in this restaurant, still waiting for my food while the rest of my party has already finished, I realize how fortunate it is that I’m fluent in Spanish; otherwise, we wouldn't have even been able to order drinks. Unfortunately, this was not a great experience for me, although everyone who did eat said the food was fantastic. However, there was a miscommunication regarding the order, and the management handled it very well, making things right. In the end, it was a bit of a hiccup, but everything turned out well in the end.
What a wonderful find this evening! I discovered a fantastic Mexican restaurant by Lake Hartwell called El Arriero, easily accessible by boat or car. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and the food was delicious—we opted for Mexican, though the burgers at the next table looked incredible. The service was friendly and prompt, but I have a feeling that will change once they obtain their liquor license and more people start visiting. Additionally, the view is unbeatable!
We dined here on a Sunday around noon, and the restaurant was bustling. The service started off well, but we felt a bit overlooked once our food was served. The food itself was enjoyable with generous portion sizes. The strawberry margarita was nice, though it was quite sweet. The chicken wings were just average—not very fresh and breaded. However, the fajita quesadilla was excellent. As is typical, there were plenty of chips and salsa. Overall, I would recommend this place.

The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it! I had dinner there, and the price per person ranged from $10 to $20. I would rate the food a 5 out of 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 3. I highly recommend trying the Fish Tacos!
It was just alright; I've had much better experiences elsewhere. I ended up with heartburn all night after having the chicken quesadilla. I might consider returning, but I would definitely try something different next time.
Excellent service! Hector is the standout every time we visit. He's such a fantastic person. The food is consistently perfect. We really enjoy it after a wonderful day at the lake!
