A New Tex-Mex Restaurant Is Now Open In The CSRA

Downtown Waynesboro Gets A New Tex-Mex Restaurant!

Peach Pit Cantina, a new Tex-Mex- restaurant, has recently opened in Downtown Waynesboro of Burke County.

The owner of the new restaurant is Ana Segura. She is also the owner of Chilitos Mexican Grill in Sylvania, outside of Waynesboro. Chilitos Mexican Grill would often get customers from the Waynesboro area, so she decided to open this new restaurant in the downtown area.

As mentioned, the cuisine is Tex-Mex, which is slightly different from Mexican cuisine. Tex-Mex is a fusion of Mexican and American Cuisine.

Peach Pit Cantina will be exactly that. The menu will offer a menu that consists of traditional Mexican cuisine along with some desires that are influenced by American tastes. Dish entrees will be made from scratch for the most part with fresh ingredients. Salsa which often has a kick to it will have a milder taste than the authentic Mexican versions.

More that will be included on the menu is Burritos. Did you know that burritos are the staple dish in Mexican- American cuisine? It is one of the most popular Mexican dishes in the United States, but if you were ever to go into the countryside of Mexico and ask for a burrito, you may or may not receive a small donkey!

For the more authentic dishes, the menu includes tamales, molcajete, and birria.

Birria has become a very popular dish in the United States over the past few years. Birria consists of slow-cooked meat with a special sauce made from dried peppers. The broth that it makes is then served on the side with the Birria.

Some of the menu items will also resemble Chilitos, Segura's restaurant in Sylvania, but with a few name changes. But everything won't be the same, there will also be dishes that are unique to the new Waynesboro restaurant. Peach Pit Cantina will also offer a full bar and a lounge area.

Current hours:
Sunday-Monday 11-9 pm
Tuesday - Thursday 11-9:30 pm
Friday and Saturday 11-10:30 pm

Food... It can bring us together in a time of need.  And it can create family memories around a table.  It can do so many things.  But there's one food we can all agree on at any given time.  Mexican food.  So, where is the best Mexican food in Augusta and Aiken?  That's the question we are about to attack and hit head-on!

Of all the restaurants we have in our area, we probably have more Mexican restaurants than any other type of food.  That then opens the door as to who is the best.  The fun part about having so many, you can try them all till you find the one you like

Now you may choose different meats, chicken, or cheese for these items, but these are the most ordered items in Mexican restaurants:

Where is my go-to favorite Mexican Restaurant?  Well, it is in Warrenton. El Maguey Mexican Bar and Grill.  It's located at 725 Main Street in Warrenton.  For me, living in Aiken County, it is a road trip and worth every second of the drive.  They are family-owned and operated, and the food is on point.  I've never left there without a to-go box.  The portions are super big and super delicious.  My go-to there is the Burrito Cancun.  A large tortilla with steak, chicken, shrimp, rice, and beans then topped with cheese dip and red burrito sauce.

I promise you, there will be leftovers for later in the day or for lunch tomorrow.  They also have a new location in Wrens too.  Now I can't drive to Warrenton every time I want a great Mexican meal, chips, and cheese dip, but there are so many great locations to pick from.

And now, as voted by you, there are the top 6 best Mexican restaurants in the Augusta and Aiken area!

This is one of the newer places in Columbia County to enjoy great Mexican Food. Let's not forget the margaritas!

After a move just down the road on Richland Avenue in Aiken, Tequila's Mexican Restaurant Grill & Bar is ready.

While Mi Rancho has many locations across Aiken and Augusta, we counted them as 1.  The Texas rice at Mi Rancho is the best in town.

Now another kind of new Mexican restaurant in North Augusta and you guys voted it one of the top picks.  If you've been, you know why!

Now I've tried all of the ones on this list, but the Vera Cruz on Peach Orchard hits the spot like no other.

There were so many votes for  the one in Evans, the one in North Augusta, the one in Martinez... So we just made Monterrey the over all number 1 Mexican restaurant in Augusta and Aiken.
