    A dish from the first page of the Menu, something Mexicana.

    Group of 23 of us went in and had our lunch in here. Everybody loved their food and especially their service adds more taste to the food. Highly recommended. +++

    I had no idea that restaurants are in such short supply in Nauvoo, IL. While visiting, we found El Camino Real twenty minutes outside of Nauvoo. Not my favorite Mexican restaurant, but it's my favorite in Hamilton and in a thirty mile radius, (might be the only Mexican restaurant in a thirty mile radius). I enjoyed my quesadilla and the chips & salsa we were given before our food. My party was also satisfied with their meals. We left full and happy! RThe little restaurant isn't much to look at inside and out, but I liked the atmosphere. It is very much a small town restaurant with good food. If I lived in the area, I would frequent El Camino Real without a doubt.

    Food is okay. Not the best Mexican I have ever had.. Good service. Recommend it you are okay with average Mexican food. Otherwise I would pass on the one. . Portion are smaller than I am use to.

    We come here often. I love the polio Jalisco with the cheese sauce on the side. The food is delicious and the service speedy with a smile. Also the margaritas are amazing!

    All the food I've had was very good. Great service. The only thing is the place is not very big.

    The enchilada sauce is delicious! I would recommend shredded beef or chicken meals as I thought the ground beef tasted weird.

    Los Charros

    3.5(22 reviews)

    I came to Macomb for an event and asked the hotel clerk for suggestions for a non-chain restaurant…read more Los Charros was the first one he suggested, and I was in the mood for Mexican, so no other suggestions were needed. There are two locations in town, and I went to the one on East Jackson Street. I was immediately seated in a booth. Water and chips arrived before I could open the menu. The chips were excellent, and the salsa was quite good, though surprisingly oregano-forward (I'm pretty sure that was the flavor). It's like they replaced the cilantro with oregano. Unusual, but tasty. I ordered the Alambres dinner, and this massive plate of food instantly appeared. I don't know what kind of magic they have going on in the kitchen, but I've never seen dinner arrive that fast. Delicious rice (perfectly cooked and seasoned), a nice pile of lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, etc. But the star of the plate: lots of shrimp, thin strips of steak and chicken, sauteed yellow/red bell peppers and onions, smothered in a cheese sauce. All very tasty, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The cheese sauce was a little thin for me, but that's a very minor issue with this impressive plate of food (it was so much food that I ended up finishing it later that night in my hotel room - still good). The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was fast and good, and the price was ridiculously low.

    From Chicago, just got back from Guadalajara, and wanted to try LC while visiting my mom in Macomb…read more Here are my thoughts: --If you want authentic Mexican in Macomb, this is your spot! --Service was very good and friendly. --The restaurant looks average sized from the outside, but it's pretty big and busy all Sunday night : ) --My wife ordered the chilaquiles with chicken and they were good. --I ordered the beef tacos, also good. --The chips and salsa were good, but the red salsa was exquisite! Highly recommended!! Last thing I expected was excellent Mexican food in Macomb, IL : )
