    Thank you for bringing me a picture of water

    Don't listen to the bad comments on here about this place. This place was awesome!!! It's in a strange location, but worth the hunt. They had $1.99 margaritas! How can you go wrong with that! And it was on a Friday night. So they could use a little maintenance on the inside, so it looks like the electrical wiring is completely hanging out of several lights, so what if one booth looks like the rest of the ceiling might 'give-way' and the light will fall completely on someone's head in that booth. Just don't sit someone in that booth! Why am I such an advocate for this place you might ask? Because this was the only Mexican restaurant out of three that we went to that actually had somewhat normal salsa! It wasn't super sweet and it wasn't gross. It was good! And it probably had the best hands down Mexican food I've ever had! Well one dish in particular. It was called the "pollo indiana "!!! Omg it was amazing. If you have ever had and like Arroz con pollo from other mexican restaurants,then You are gonna LOVE this dish. It is that, but with chorizo on top. The chicken is actually one big flat piece, with all the yummy cheese covered toppings drizzled all over. They don't put it on the rice, which is on the side, but you can easily scoot it over in the cheese. This dish was awesome! It is a must have. Also the waitress brought us our own pitcher of water. Now I know some people might think that this is her way of being lazy, but I actually appreciated it. That way I don't have to wait on refills. They also had Delicious Queso. It had small bits of jalapeños in it. But don't be alarmed, it wasn't overwhelming and too spicy at all. There is also Something called the anaconda challenge for those big eaters. Some people like those sort of challenges. We steered clear of that. But it is an option for you. I think you win a free T-shirt and your meal is free. I am happy we discovered this little hidden gem. There were a lot of locals there, so you know that is always a positive.

    Yesterday I went there for the first time and really enjoyed it. I liked how they seemed to have a separate lunch and dinner menu so that you actually aren't confused as to which one you should be ordering off of. They have everything any Mexican restaurant does, but seem to have their own takes on it. I had the huevos con chorrizo and it was DELICIOUS. one thing I didn't like were the chips--they seemed sort of airy and made with old oil, even though they were very fresh. However, overall I had a great experience! Yummy

    Food is pretty good, service is great. But the dishes are a bit simple, no mole or molcajete.

    This place is AMAZING everything about it is awsome the food, the service, and the restaurant is…read moreclean definitely will be going back

    I am so thrilled I found La Campirana when I was recently in Evansville for the day. We came in at…read morelunch and it was very busy with a mixture of people which is always a good sign! 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!
