Diablo’s Southwest Grill

Diablo’s is a locally owned (soon to be) 3 store chain, ran by brothers from Augusta.
I normally frequent the Wheeler Rd location, but happened to be in Aiken when, to my surprise, spotted a Diablo’s! It was like a mirage, I tell you!
The food was absolutely identical to their first location — delicious. The staff seemed a bit slow, but maybe they were new? Either way — I got my food in a decent enough time and actually found a place to sit. Which is rare occurrence, since Im used to the Augusta location. Diablo’s pays close attention to cleanliness. I have never been and NOT seen an employee sweeping or cleaning in some sort.
Think of Diablo’s as a south western style Subway, in how you order.
My lunch partner, who hadn’t yet had the pleasure of experiencing Diablo’s, is now a fan! He commented on how fair the prices were, how his meal «hit the spot», and how I’d picked a great place for lunch.
The burritos are HUGE and definitely try their chipotle ranch sauce!
The décor at the Aiken location is identical to Augusta’s. Very nice. There are cellphone charge stations at every booth.
To call this place a Chipotle «copy cat» is silly since no where in the entire Central Savannah River Area is there a Chipotle. Diablo’s is an original for the CSRA and an answered prayer, not to mention LOCALLY OWNED!
PRO TIP: Get it To-​Go. They fill that box up and either way, youre going to have left overs — might as well already have your meal in a box!

We love this place. Quick and reasonable prices. We love the food. The employees have always been very pleasant. The restaurant is clean and so are the bathrooms. Excellent parking too.

The thing that scared me most was if the food would still have the same consistency as the Augusta location! But this place still has the same awesome vibe as the original spot! Food is the same quality and consistency. Five star rating for the entire Diablos brand and locations!

If you have ever eaten at Chipotle, or Moes, this place is very comparable. You walk in and pick burrito, quesadilla, bowl, nachos, salad or 3 taco, then pick your meat and fixins. Personally, I favor the flavors here better than Chipotle or Moes and I love me some Moes! I was pleased with how quick the line moved, the open table for me to sit down at and how the staff was very friendly. This was a good change of pace from the usual Moes or Chipotle craving.

My family and I eat at the location in Augusta often, so we decided to try the new Aiken location. It’s the same and by the same, I mean great too. My hubby and I had burrito bowls and our little one had a some too. The style is similar to the other location. It has Southwestern flair. I’m sure we’ll be back to enjoy more Tex-​Mex!

Seems like a chipotle copy-​cat. Almost exact setup inside and the prices are about equal… But Diablo’s tastes no where near as good as chipotle. Plus the ingredients are not as fresh. Also very disappointed they didn’t serve any type of alcohol. I’ll just wait a couple of month until the chipotle in Aiken opens up.

This place is AMAZING! The food is very fresh and flavorful. I have been several times and have tried the chicken tacos and the steak salad so far. Both were really good! The steak is very tender and cooked just right. The queso and chips are very good as well. I will definitely be back. It’s pretty addicting.

First time visiting the location in Aiken. By the way I’m an ACTUAL person leaving this review… not sure how I could be anything else. I paid for my food just like I assume all the others that leave reviews. And although I normally visit the location in Augusta I decided to give the location in Aiken a try because I was in the area visiting some friends. The staff was very friendly, and the food was fresh… loved all the décor. I got the chicken burrito bowl, my husband got the three tacos and our son got the kids burrito meal. They have a salsa bar and unlimited chips. I will definitely be back when I’m on this side of town… and as a bonus I’m going home with the food I couldn’t finish.

Opening week they were great. A little success and now they are becoming extremely cheap. Today i litterally got 6 tiny peices of chicken in my bowl. The server filled the spoon half full of chicken put half of that in the bowl and dumped the rest in his tray. Also Free sauces are no longer free. Better figure things out before u lose business. I heard multiple customers complaining.
