Everything I have ever tried here is just excellent! I'm working my way through the menu but at this time my favorites are the avocado tacos and the chimichangas. Salsa is full of flavor and very smooth. Excellent service, and you can order online. I'm still amazed that I happened to discover this hidden gem on one of my trips a few years ago. If you are traveling on I-74 take a quick detour at the Mahomet exit, it is less than a mile off the interstate.

Had dinner with friends and the meal was pretty good but the chips and salsa were something else,…read morethe chips were mixed with old batches and some of them tasted rancid and it was so hot inside that the salsa and guacamole were turning brown in the bowl and on the plates it wasn't very appealing we mentioned this to the staff and they said it couldn't be changed. Personally I don't like to sweat while eating that's why we go out. I will spend my money elsewhere. It will be a long time before we go back if we go back it just seems like they didn't care.

There is really nothing bad to say about Buen Apetito! The restaurant is a little off the beaten…read morepath and honestly not marked well. There is no indication that the adorable building is a restaurant at all - no signage indicating such. Once inside, the restaurant is clean and the aromas are amazing!!! The first telltale sign of good Mexican, to me, is the salsa. In this case, I wasn't sure our experience would go one way or the other. The salsa was completely edible, but not exciting. However, our food arrived and we were astonished at the quality and freshness of the ingredients and the perfect preparation! I ordered the pechugas, and I have NEVER had such delicious chicken in my life. My plate had 2 thinly sliced, tender chicken breasts, a salad, fresh refried beans, and rice for $8.50! My husband and I ordered a hearty appetizer (panchos), 2 entrees, and drinks, took home leftovers, and our bill totaled less than $31. Our server was sweet and attentive throughout our dining experience and we heard her give our compliments to the chef. We are in the area a few times a year and will definitely be returning. We also told everyone we knew around there how great Buen Apetito is, and I know there will be a few more new regulars out of that. Why are you still reading this? Just go!

To top all of this off it was my wife's birthday. so I left only a two dollar tip. if you are a person of color or a minority group or just a non white family I would not recommend this place. Food was also lacking in quality don't know if it was just our food but the veggies were old.

This is a hard one for me. As a kid who grew up going here for lunch in high school always…read moreregarding it as a legendary spot, it has lost significant credibility over the years when discussing food. I remember when it was like $7 to get a special and now it is twice that (within 5 years). I do not know their lease agreement or food cost etc but this has gotten to be fairly egregious. For this reason I had to take a star down because it's just hard to quantify what I had been getting for years next to a steep price increase. There is not much to say about the service and ambiance I mean it's a small place set up like a chipotle or a subway. There's no where to eat inside so we usually ate at the outdoor seating area of the coffee shop next door. This is a place you go to bring food to work or home after work, not a place to sit down and have a nice dinner. So the ambiance is irrelevant. Service is as good as it can be in such a small place but everyone is super nice and it's stayed that way throughout the years. Honey grilled chicken on any of their options is definitely the way to go (and chipotle sauce as a side or on whatever you get). Very upsetting I could not give this place 5 stars as it is reminiscent of childhood. However I still highly highly suggest trying this place out if you are new to Champaign and want a local hotspot option.

Always fresh, flavorful and fast! Rick & crew do a great job at this no-frills walk up joint.read more
