We had a booth within 1 minute and were promptly asked for our drink orders. Chips and salsa also came our way shortly after that. Chips were great- fresh, hot, and thin. We ordered and waited for our food. The place was packed and the servers were literally running table to table. I saw one guy sprint to the back. We did wait for our food to arrive a little longer than usual at a Mexican restaurant, but when it got to our table, it had just been cooked and it was delicious. The place itself is well lit and clean, servers were working hard, food was yummy. We will be back!

The food was good! Our server was nice! This place is a hole in the wall type place (quite…read moreliterally - it's attached to a hotel lobby). The queso was good, on the thinner side.

You order at the counter and find a seat. They didn't give us any numbers but still found us without any issue. The salsa bar was definitely a highlight and what drew me to this restaurant. They definitely adjusted the heat in the salsas to appeal to the most people, giving warnings of very hot and extremely hot. As a spice lover the hottest one was around a medium by my standard, but the flavors were excellent. We asked for some chips to sample the salsas before our meal arrived. They tasted homemade and very good. I ordered the chicken and pastor tacos with everything (cilantro, onions, lime) and also tried the pork tamale with green sauce. My bf had a chicken burrito. Everything was excellent, but the tamale was just a tad dry, but did taste homemade which was a plus. The tacos were well seasoned and the burrito was huge so we had leftovers. The food came out fast and before we left we also ordered a mango smoothie and mango with tajin/tamarind which was the perfect sweet treat. La Campirana is an absolute gem and one you should visit immediately!

I got the chuychanga, my son had the crispy tacos, and my picky 5-year-old ordered the mac and cheese, which passed her very strict, no-nonsense mac and cheese standards. Everything was full of flavor and nicely presented. And the boom-boom sauce is SO delicious. Our server, Andra (I hope I remembered that correctly!), was hands-down one of the best servers we've ever had. She was kind, attentive, and had great suggestions, and she was always nearby if we needed anything. There was also a small moment that really stood out when we were being seated, the host initially placed us in one section but realized it was short-staffed and moved us to another. He apologized so much, even though it truly wasn't a big deal at all. Then, another server from that first section actually came to find us just to apologize for the mix-up as well. It was so thoughtful and completely above and beyond. Thank you to Andra and the entire crew for making our experience so special! You all are wonderful, and we can't wait to come back

Our bartender was very friendly & only check my ID. I'm 30 but she said I looked 17 so that made me feel good. I ordered a bourbon and diet & she asked if Kentucky Tavern was okay and I said it was. I don't mind KT at all. The others in my group ordered some appetizers, 4 to be exact. Some quesadillas, onion rigs, pretzels and something else I cannot remember. I tried the onion rings and they were pretty good. They come with a VERY sweet BBQ sauce of sorts. AppleBees is an okay place to have a few drinks & some good food. They've got a random clientele, from country bumpkins to teenage kids. My KT & diet was $4.79 a glass, which isn't bad. I've had cheaper at other bars before, but I cannot complain.

However Applebee's website has the same picture and description as door dash. They lied about the inaccurate description and their responsibility for it.

Pros: Ample free parking. Lovely atmosphere kind of glam meets Hacienda. Interesting menu a cross between Tex-Mex and a grill. Tasty margaritas. Complimentary chips and salsa. Fun spots throughout for selfies. Decorated well for Valentine's Day. Large ample seating areas both front and back. Large welcoming bar. Live music, at least for the holiday. And an extra special Valentine's menu. Fun outdoor seating, as well, which I'm sure will be very enjoyable in good weather. Cons: The food was terribly bland. Everything was verrrrryyyyyy under seasoned. Even the salsa has nearly zero flavor. Even the chips needed to be salted, and we asked for salt to be brought to the table, and they never brought it. Also asked for a salted rim on my margarita, which did not happen. My husband had probably the worst tamale of his life. It had virtually no filling, and the masa was inedible. There you have it. It's a shame because the atmosphere is lovely but the food is not. I might go back for a drink or two. I will not, however, be going back for dinner.

Back in the day, pre-marriage, I was a regular here, after they first opened. The owners are transplants from Mexico, and barely even spoke fluent English when they opened. Their food, which is authentic- not the typical Tex Mex crap, was the first of this type in Evansville. I was hooked. I generally get the chicken quesadillas, or anything with chicken in it. They use the freshest ingredients, and their cheese is unlike most Mexican restaurants. Honestly, I think they have live chickens in the back, as it really does taste that fresh, and not frozen. Who knows? Margaritas. Yep, they have them, and the owner proudly gloats how they put 30% more tequila in them, as opposed to most other restaurants. Great service, great food, and great margaritas. What's not to like!
