This is hands down one of the best places for Mexican food around, if not the best. Their service…read moreis insanely fast and matched with great food and super nice waiters and staff. Service and food can not be beat. It blows my mind I can order and receive my food from the establishment faster that I can order and receive food from most fast food places in the area not too mention the prices are great and their "special of the day" are fantastic and affordable. Give it a try.

Being from California (and on Ca time) my party didn't expect much for a late dinner in southern…read moreIllinois. Especially concerned about quality of Mexican food in this tiny town in Ill. Thus, we were hesitant...but hungry with little expectations. Upon entry, we were pleasantly surprised to hear Mexican music and Spanish speakers in the back. I had hope! Although the salsa was bland (& I avoid spicy), we shared the taco plate and a nachos. We were not disappointed. However, I recommend skipping the mojito entirely- I had to send it back. And yes, i know mojito is a cuban drink. They knew we weren't from town, lol- so we got to talking and learned they had roots from Mexico, then grew up not terribly far from me in Ca. He admitted they've had to adjust the way they make some items due to the mid-west clientele they have who aren't used to anything remotely authentic.

Let's start with the chips and salsa, standard free appetizer fare at every Mexican restaurant in…read moreAmerica. These chips are fresh and crunchy and amazing. So good in fact that I needed to ask, "are these made fresh?" They are and the difference is noticeable. The salsa fresca is awesome. If you're brain washed into thinking that thin flaky chips and thick pasty salsa is good, you're in for a shock. After lunch, my wife and I went back for dinner because of the chips and salsa. Other bonuses: The margaritas were good. Strong. A** kickingly strong. The food was tasty, but I don't know if it was exceptional. The service was a little slow. I wish they brought more than 2 flour tortillas per meal. Candidly, the chips and salsa are so good that everything else came in second.

The issue with this place is that they don't know anything about the cheese dip being liquid we…read moreordered a bean dip it's not like what you find in the south. It's not that good soupy goo. If you stick your spoon in their bean dip the cheese will come out like strings of mozzarella. There should be no stringiness in the cheese on the bean dip. I'm quite serious about this. In California and out west all you find is the mozzarella stuff. That is the same for this Mexican restaurant. I promise you want the liquid not the stringy stuff. It was fine otherwise. I don't think I'll come back to this location.
