    They gave me a steak torta with no meat ridiculous they were busy but if you can't keep up then don't drown yourself with DoorDash and grubhub order shows to me quantity $$ over quality so sad how quick and far down they are going

    Loved the vibe here, quaint, colorful, friendly service. The food here was so tasty, sad I'm just passing through town. I loved their photos of all their dishes up on the wall. The salsas were pretty mild imo, but h perhaps that's to be expected in Moline, IL. Breakfast Torta Niko was 5/5, bread was soft, chorizo and egg were tasty. Burrito Al Pastor was 3/5, okay flavor, meat was not as tasty as I was expecting. Still a decent size though!

    This is so far my favorite Mexican restaurant to go in the mornings. Being Mexican myself, this spot makes it feel like I'm back at my moms house. Try the cafecito (cinnamon coffee) and chilaquiles! It's a cozy spot to sit and get an authentic meal. My wife enjoys the chorizo eggs/fried beans

    Delicious taco place in Moline. I had never had quesobirria tacos before. These were a nice hearty stew. And a Saturday only special. Very good. We had eaten here before and gotten the regular tacos. I love this place.

    Huarache (Pastor)

    Authentic Mexican food. Loved it. I had a Huarache (pastor), tasted great but I still hungry so I also had a taco. Never had a Huarache before it's like large sope or taco with more masa. My wife had 3 Tacos (1 Asada and 2 Pastor) which she enjoyed. We also had chips with salsa (nice spicy kick). For drinks we had two agua frescas, I had jamaica and my wife had lemonade.

    Very good food. Tacos good, but the chile rellenos is even better! All the food is truly homemade, and the prices are good.

    El Mexicano - These chorizo tacos were fantastic. And you can purchase chorizo in the attached grocery store (which has very good prices)

    El Mexicano is such a fun place to visit! I want to return and purchase about a dozen items from…read moretheir grocery store which carries a variety of fresh cheeses and a hot case full of food I'd like to try, along with a gamut of other Latin American products throughout. We ate lunch at El Mexicano recently and while I enjoyed my huarache, I had serious food envy over my companion's carnitas. They looked and tasted very good and, as I later learned, are a restaurant specialty. I'll definitely come back to El Mexicano! Not only to check items off my shopping list, but for another cheap and tasty lunch (and carnitas).

    This place lived up to the reviews. We came in for lunch and ordered our fill of tacos, tamales,…read moreand horchata. While the parents were a little put off by the somewhat divey style (it's a little place attached to an equally small market), we were invited to sit down in a warm, sunlit booth, and they immediately loosened up. First, the service was friendly and prompt. Second, the chips and salsa (served in squeeze bottles) were crunchy and warm; the two salsas were fabulous. Some of the group thought that the verde was too spicy, but I thought it was just right. The horchata was sweet and delicious, and we were offered a refill, to my delighted surprise. We ordered three of the taco platters--3 tacos each with rice and beans--and two of the tamales platters--3 tamales each also with rice and beans. We tried the steak, chorizo, and carnitas. These came quickly and they did not disappoint. The only negative thing I could say is that the carnitas, likely due to being prepared in large quantities for the daily special, was a little dry. I suggest getting it topped with the cheese. The chorizo was my favorite, topped with cilantro and onion. It wasn't excessively greasy, but was still moist and incredibly flavorful. The tamales were topped with gooey cheese, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes. I don't want to overlook the rice and refried beans. I usually don't touch these ubiquitous items, but here it was hard to resist. The beans were creamy and topped with mini-morsels of queso fresco. And the rice was well seasoned. Everyone was blown away with their meal. For entirely too much food (we ordered five entrees for four petite people, and we took a full meal home in leftovers) and two horchatas, we got out of their for $25 plus tip. So this was most assuredly worth the price. In a nutshell: fantastic food, underpriced, with friendly service.
