I've tried to experience different things on the menu but I have locked in on the 'combination #1' which comes with a beef taco and 2 enchiladas with choice of beans or rice. You can get it with the standard sauce, asadero or just cheese. The food always comes out fast and hot and the flavor is great and the quality is always consistent. It's not the mexican food i'm used to after living in Southern California, but it certainly is a good 'tex mex' alternative in the midwest.

Had a couple of street tacos, a chimichanga, and chips and queso. The tacos were just okay; the meat seemed dried out, and the lime was such low quality that there was no juice when I squeezed it. The chimichanga was really good, though, and the queso was the white cheese I love to see. Service was okay. No one talked to me for five minutes, and I had to get my own menu, but whatever. Still better than I expected for a mid-sized city in the Midwest strip mall.

The restaurant is clean and vibrantly decorated. We also go to take in part of a World Cup game. Our server was so friendly, like an old friend. The menu has a great selection old favorites and specialties. My huevos con chorizo was tasty and there was enough to take home for later. Their salsa was fresh and their chips were really good. Better than most restaurant chips I've had. My son had the Carne Asada. I tasted the meat and it was very flavorful. He was actually full at the end of his meal. Quite a fit for a 17 year-old.
