“ Small town Mexican restaurant that gives you exactly what you are looking for. From experience to food, a great place to go. ”
“ Overall solid place. I got the vegetarian fajita quesadilla and it was amazing. Classic small town Mexican vibe. I appreciated that there was a vegetarian menu at all and I have no notes. Best horchata I've had in a while and it was served in a huge frost mug. ”
“ Went there tonight on a recomendation,,have been looking for good Mexican food since moving to central Illinois from Texas. Had the fried chimichangas chicken and they were great,,we will be going back ,,thanks for a taste of home ”
“ Great place. Everything you could ask of a mom-n-pop Mexican restaurant: chips and salsa, friendly service, delicious food quickly served, amazing prices. Lunch for under 10 each and dinners for under 13. Would come again :) ”
“ Have driven by this restaurant countless times and finally decided to stop in. And, glad we did!! The menu was very big ... LOTS of choices; it took us a while to settle on what we wanted to order. The food was excellent, portions were generous, and the service was quick. I think the time between ordering and the food arriving was maybe 5 minutes. The food was hot and tasty. The salsa/chips were great. Only small criticism is that I ordered a fajita meal and was only given 2 tortilla shells. I'm sure I could've asked for more, but with the amount of fajita meat/veggies they provide, they really should provide at least 3-4 tortillas from the start. Would definitely recommend and will be back again! ”
