I came to Macomb for an event and asked the hotel clerk for suggestions for a non-chain restaurant…read more Los Charros was the first one he suggested, and I was in the mood for Mexican, so no other suggestions were needed. There are two locations in town, and I went to the one on East Jackson Street. I was immediately seated in a booth. Water and chips arrived before I could open the menu. The chips were excellent, and the salsa was quite good, though surprisingly oregano-forward (I'm pretty sure that was the flavor). It's like they replaced the cilantro with oregano. Unusual, but tasty. I ordered the Alambres dinner, and this massive plate of food instantly appeared. I don't know what kind of magic they have going on in the kitchen, but I've never seen dinner arrive that fast. Delicious rice (perfectly cooked and seasoned), a nice pile of lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, etc. But the star of the plate: lots of shrimp, thin strips of steak and chicken, sauteed yellow/red bell peppers and onions, smothered in a cheese sauce. All very tasty, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The cheese sauce was a little thin for me, but that's a very minor issue with this impressive plate of food (it was so much food that I ended up finishing it later that night in my hotel room - still good). The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was fast and good, and the price was ridiculously low.

Following a quick trip to a wedding in Muscatine, IA, we returned to St Louis and stopped in…read moreColumbus Junction to look for a Mexican restaurant where we had eaten nearly 20 years ago. That restaurant is apparently long gone, but we found Santa Ana Bakery instead. This was a happy eventuality! This is a very small Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant that we can highly recommend. The food is simply comida casera (home cookin'). I get the feel that they would fix whatever you like within reason. They have a huge menu listed on the wall, so I asked for the owner's recommendations. I always like to ask in small places like this, knowing that they can't possibly have everything always ready and fresh. I assume they will recommend what they feel is best that day. He offered fresh chicken mole and pork in a sauce. I don't normally go for mole due to the sweetness, so I ordered guisado de puerco and Ms T ordered tacos de carne asada (sin cebolla, of course). My pork was simple, elegant and delicious. The sauce was dark in color, rich in flavor, with some tomatillo and a hint of oregano. The slices of pork were tender and smothered in the sauce. I sopped the sauce up with soft corn tortillas and when I finished there was really no need to wash the plate. Ms T frowns on my actually licking the plate in public, so I had to do the job with tortillas, which worked out pretty well. Ms T's tacos de carne asada were served properly with plenty of meat on soft corn tortillas and cilantro. The meat was diced fairly fine, nicely seasoned and had a great flavor of the comal. We each had a frijoles pintos which were very basic frijoles de la olla, partly pureed and served thin in their broth. As simple as it gets, but good. I must mention the salsas served with the basket of totopos at the beginning. These were 100% delicious and homemade with the unique touch of la Senora in each. We debated asking to purchase some to take home, but due to warm weather and no cooler, decided not to risk it. One salsa was green, made from minced raw tomatillo with enough jalapeno to give it nice heat. The second was deep red with ground red chile and chipotle. It was rich and spicy with very fresh garlic. The third was almost orange in color, with nice heat, more garlic and delicious fresh chile flavor. All were good, all were nicely spicy. In addition the totopos were clearly fried from real tortillas, on the premises. This is four star food in a five star place. It is quaint, with a bar you can belly up to and enjoy your food on a stool or eat at one of three tables. I'm sure they offer carry-out. Don't forget this is also a bakery and they had an assortment of cookies and pan dulce on display. The owner was friendly and helpful. He appreciated that we were not just there for some ground beef burritos. Now our challenge is to figure out an excuse to be there at lunch time so we can explore the menu more. I wished afterwards I had also ordered the mole to try. They are open seven days a week and serve breakfast! I'm thinking of moving closer. Just have to figure out how to convince Ms T.
