I realize wait staff and kitchens can become overwhelmed. But be honest and I'll be patient. Saw many people come in, be served and leave before we got our food. And honestly, it was all quite bland. The chimichanga was soggy, rice and beans unseasoned, tamales really mushy with very little chicken and what was included was dry. Definitely look elsewhere if you want flavor or a pleasant dining experience.

Carmen, his wife, was an excellent cook and we are grateful to have found their little restaurant! The pork burrito was everyone's favorite. It was full of flavor.

We will be back despite the hour and a half drive.

For starters, the decor is pretty sparse, but it does look very clean and I like that the dining room feels more open rather than crowded. They definitely need to turn the music up, though. It's a big part of the Mexican dining experience. The service was good and prompt. As far as the food, I loved the chips and the salsa had great flavor despite being more than a bit watery. I enjoyed the veggie fajitas. The portion size was good and everything tasted great, but they did forget my tortillas. I would've asked for them had my girlfriend not given me hers. The prices were fair, about like everywhere else in the area. All in all, I can't really complain much, but I hope this helps the owners make a few minor improvements. Thanks!

Steak, chicken AND shrimp with the queso intertwined. One of the best Mexican dishes I've ever had! Included what appeared to be homemade tortillas as well but honestly you don't even need them.

As we were leaving, we noticed a sign on the door saying they closed at 4:00 PM, but it was not there when we walked in. Had we known, we would have chosen somewhere else to meet.

Following a quick trip to a wedding in Muscatine, IA, we returned to St Louis and stopped in…read moreColumbus Junction to look for a Mexican restaurant where we had eaten nearly 20 years ago. That restaurant is apparently long gone, but we found Santa Ana Bakery instead. This was a happy eventuality! This is a very small Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant that we can highly recommend. The food is simply comida casera (home cookin'). I get the feel that they would fix whatever you like within reason. They have a huge menu listed on the wall, so I asked for the owner's recommendations. I always like to ask in small places like this, knowing that they can't possibly have everything always ready and fresh. I assume they will recommend what they feel is best that day. He offered fresh chicken mole and pork in a sauce. I don't normally go for mole due to the sweetness, so I ordered guisado de puerco and Ms T ordered tacos de carne asada (sin cebolla, of course). My pork was simple, elegant and delicious. The sauce was dark in color, rich in flavor, with some tomatillo and a hint of oregano. The slices of pork were tender and smothered in the sauce. I sopped the sauce up with soft corn tortillas and when I finished there was really no need to wash the plate. Ms T frowns on my actually licking the plate in public, so I had to do the job with tortillas, which worked out pretty well. Ms T's tacos de carne asada were served properly with plenty of meat on soft corn tortillas and cilantro. The meat was diced fairly fine, nicely seasoned and had a great flavor of the comal. We each had a frijoles pintos which were very basic frijoles de la olla, partly pureed and served thin in their broth. As simple as it gets, but good. I must mention the salsas served with the basket of totopos at the beginning. These were 100% delicious and homemade with the unique touch of la Senora in each. We debated asking to purchase some to take home, but due to warm weather and no cooler, decided not to risk it. One salsa was green, made from minced raw tomatillo with enough jalapeno to give it nice heat. The second was deep red with ground red chile and chipotle. It was rich and spicy with very fresh garlic. The third was almost orange in color, with nice heat, more garlic and delicious fresh chile flavor. All were good, all were nicely spicy. In addition the totopos were clearly fried from real tortillas, on the premises. This is four star food in a five star place. It is quaint, with a bar you can belly up to and enjoy your food on a stool or eat at one of three tables. I'm sure they offer carry-out. Don't forget this is also a bakery and they had an assortment of cookies and pan dulce on display. The owner was friendly and helpful. He appreciated that we were not just there for some ground beef burritos. Now our challenge is to figure out an excuse to be there at lunch time so we can explore the menu more. I wished afterwards I had also ordered the mole to try. They are open seven days a week and serve breakfast! I'm thinking of moving closer. Just have to figure out how to convince Ms T.
