    Good food, quick service, and an ambiance that invites you in, it's a good pick for food

    Been there several times. Poor service everytime food is sub par. Doesn't look like a Mexican restaurant.

I ordered multiple tacos, tostadas, quesadilla with meat, and tamales. I got all the meats to try them all. Tamales only come in pork though. Food was authentic and tasted fresh. Loved the tacos. Has a corn tortilla. 2 soft tortillas for every taco to hold it together. Lime and green sauce (mild) add that nice kick to take it to the next level. Toastada was fine. Crunchy shell, but I would rather spend the money on tacos and tamales. Quesadilla was good. Right amount of natural melted cheese (white) and did not ooze out of quesadilla. Got chicken. Tamales came with the corn husk. Tasted great. Corn dough or masa was soft and had good texture. Slightly wet though from the steam I suppose. All of them come in pork only, and mine did not have much pork in it. Got the guava jarritos and the green apple soda the second time. Now to talk about some meat! Steak - thinly, small cut. Crispy and chewy. Perfect balance of spices/flavor, but not overpowering taste of the steak. Chicken - tender, small shredded. I do not think spices are added to this one or you can not really tell. Pork - tender. Good and also plain (no to little spices added to me) Tongue - very tender. Had lots of natural flavor. If you never had it, it's worth a shot. Better not to know until you've already eaten it :) Chorizo (sausage)- has a spicy kick and lots of spices on this one. Makes the meat orange/red in color. Meat is crispy. The next day I came back again in the late afternoon and they ran out of Chile relleno and tamales :( I guess you have to get there earlier or quicker than the rush. The employee told me you can call ahead so they can reserve some for you if needed (he could tell I was sad). The Chile relleno varies in spiciness so it's a fun/dangerous gamble.

    I'm not too familiar with Advance, but I had an appointment there and a friend drove up from Dexter…read moreand met me so we could try out a new (for us) restaurant. We LOVED it! We started with jumbo margaritas, for a very reasonable price. Along with a full bar, they offered about 25 flavors of margarita, including a "skinny girl" so I was able to skip all the sugar calories I didn't want. I made up for it with a large order of fresh, homemade guacamole. Delicious. The menu is huge--several pages. We decided it was unlikely they could deliver such an extensive menu and still make everything fresh and tasty. Nope! Both our meals were truly outstanding. No one could have crammed another shrimp into the shrimp quesadilla--it was cheesy and absolutely stuffed with shrimp. She could only eat half of it. (She's a lightweight!) I had fajitas and chose pork, shrimp and bacon. I could have also added steak, chicken, sausage (and pineapple.) The pork was caramelized and crispy on one side, soft and tender on the other side. Next time I'll order a pork dish. My dish had lots of shrimp and bacon--why don't more Mexican restaurants offer bacon? Everything's better with bacon, right? The service was excellent. The server stopped by and checked on us twice, but didn't hover over us, which was refreshing. After we sat there for hours--drinking, talking, eating, laughing--the bill was very, very reasonable. In St. Louis, the bill would easily have been triple the amount, or more. We both a wonderful time; we're already planning our next visit. P.S. I forgot to mention, when we were checking out, the cashier mentioned there was a rooftop bar that everyone enjoyed. Sounds like fun!
