Top Mexican Restaurants 

By: Logan Mims

On this week’s blog, I will be ranking Mexican restaurants in Sumter, South Carolina from my favorite to my least favorite. The restaurants I will be ranking are Yucatan, Mariachis, and El Paso. 

Coming in at number 3 is Yucatan. Overall, I personally think Yucatan is the worst by far mainly because of how bad it makes you smell after eating there. The food also is not as good as the others because it’s just not as fresh. I do think that Yucatan had the best salsa out of the 3 restaurants but the queso is the worst. It just doesn’t have as much flavor. Lastly, the food at Yucatan is nowhere near as good as the food at Mariachis and El Paso. Overall I would rate this restaurant a 4/10. 

Coming in at number 2 of my ranking of Mexican restaurants in Sumter is El Paso. A major negative to El Paso is the price. El Paso is extremely expensive for no reason, but El Paso does have really good food and really good cheese dip. El Paso also does not make you smell really bad after eating there. Everytime I go to El Paso I get the ACP and it is rice and grilled chicken with cheese dip on top and it is so good but it’s just so expensive. Overall I would rate this restaurant a 7/10. 

And lastly, number one out of the top 3 Mexican restaurants in Sumter is Mariachis. Not only is Mariachis my favorite Mexican restaurant, I would have to say it is my favorite restaurant overall. I absolutely love Mariachis and since it’s my favorite I will be sharing my top 3 favorite dishes. My number 1 favorite dish is their soft tacos with everything on them,  they are just so good. My number 2 favorite dish is their grilled chicken quesadilla dipped in sour cream, it’s simple but delicious. Mg number 3 favorite item off their menu us their enchiladas with a side of rice. Mariachis also has the best cheese dip out of the 3 restaurants as well. Overall I rate this restaurant a 10/10!!!

Blake’s Food Review-Yucatán

 By: Blake Van Patten

Week one of Blake’s food reviews, we will be looking at a popular Sumter spot Yucatán. Yucatán has many positive aspects. This is a place that isn’t somewhere where you can eat multiple times a week, but a place I crave at least three times a month. It’s a quick and easy spot for me and my friends or even my family after church. They have many choices of Mexican food. Normally, I get a chicken and cheese quesadilla or cheesesteak burrito. Not only is the food good but the service is great. I’ve never had a rude server and they normally get my order right. The food is always out ASAP. One of the biggest positives of Yucatán is that it is cheap. Yucatán has reasonable prices and normally I pay around $10. Yucatán also has a good location because it is right by Tj Maxx and five below. This offers the opportunity for my friends and I to be able to walk there after we eat if we are bored. Overall I give Yucatan an 8/10.
