Los Jarochos Mexican Restaurant 1273 Edgefield Highway, Aiken, SC 29801

"I have been to many Mexican restaurants in my life, but this has to be the best hidden gem in all of South Carolina. The food was absolutely incredible and the price was fantastic. Our server was an absolute angel and was very happy to help and accommodate. It's definitely hole in the wall, but those usually are the absolute best. I can't wait to bring everyone here from now on"

"Very clean. Great service. Food was so fresh. Very easily not pleased, but I couldn’t have had better food. It was delicious."

"Los Jarochos was there a choice for Mexican meal in Aiken. Though there are numerous places, one of the things I've noted in my travels that often the non-descript or non-decorative locations are often where local people eat and have the best food. Such was the case with Los Jarochos. There was a family meeting in there and another couple of workers when my wife and I entered. The atmosphere is simple and not pretentious but the food was very good. My wife had three enchiladas which contained the mix of one cheese, beef, and chicken. I had the pork enchiladas. Very tasty very flavorful. Often a lot of places will say they're Mexican restaurants and serve you nothing more than can sauces and meat that has been cooked but with very little seasoning. This is obviously not the case here. As the flavors were obvious from the salsa with the chips to the rancho sauce on top of my enchiladas. Another very good meal in Aiken and well worth skipping the bright and fancy restaurant trimmings."

"2 1/2 ⭐️ would be most appropriate. We got food to go and were pretty disappointed. I didn’t care for the salsa, it lacked flavor. We got ceviche and I’ve never seen cucumbers in ceviche let alone huge chunks. The fish I expected to be a firm white firm but as you can tell by the picture it isn’t. Not sure what kind it was but if I had to guess it was tilapia. The fajitas had a lot of bell peppers and some kind of unappetizing “ cheesy” coating on the entire dish. The beans & rice were my least favorite of anywhere I’ve eaten. And when we asked if the tortillas were made in house we were told only one day a week did someone do that. Many of the menu items were only available on that same day so I assume there’s only one person who can cook authentic Mexican there & that one person is only available once a week. The location leaves MUCH to be desired as Balltown is one of the most sketchy areas of Aiken. Oh and my bottled drink was expired!"
