    Gross. Quesadilla   1 Piece

    My coworkers and I travel all over the country and love trying local places, leave good reviews, and especially love trying the locals' version of amazing Mexican food. I know the farther you get from the South/Southwest that Mexican food really isn't Mexican anymore.. but good Lawd. Google image search Quesadilla. Do it. You won't find anything like this. This was a lightly toasted tortilla shell full of mushy onions, peppers, grilled chicken and what could only be the contents of the grease trap from the night before. This wasn't a Quesadilla. This was an invitation to a date night with the porcelain throne and a side of colon cleanse. I can only imagine that the cook saw the order for Grilled Chicken Quesadilla come through and thought "As little as effort as possible." If you're looking for anything remotely, esthetically or cosmetically close to a quesadilla in this town - go to Taco Bell. Or just wrap some spam in a quesadilla. If you want a colon cleanse, dine at this fine establishment. Also, the service was seriously top notch. Your staff is super nice. Do better for them so they don't have to be seen in public serving this stuff.

    A Great Find We were driving west on I-70 between Columbus, OH and Portland, IN when we realized we were hungry, and we needed to stop for something to eat.

    Wife and I went to Krazy Taco 937 tonight with already high hopes because of its great online…read morereviews. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement; we were stunned at how enjoyable the experience was. Everything.. EVERYTHING about this place is wonderful. Service was very attentive, friendly and helpful (and our waitress had only been working there 1 month.) The overall ambiance was stimulating and captivating. Stimulating because the music Powerhouse 60s hits from Ray Charles, Tom Jones, the Beatles and more was a *perfect* choice to enjoy yet not disrupt quiet conversation. Stimulating because the decor was so unique and interesting. And because just the vibe of everyone in there really enjoying themselves was palpable. What about the food you say? Every ingredient of all 4 different taco choices we made was wonderful; fresh, tasty and well prepared and presented. It's not very close to us but we are already excitedly figuring out when we can get back there - and I'm confident we are going to become regulars. It's a small place so going at peak meal hours might risk waiting. They have about 10 tables as well as another 8 or 10 stools at the bar. We did not drink so cannot review that aspect. We were told the place had come under new management in the last few months. As well as that place seemed to be functioning, we would never have guessed that. PS I didn't know until we ordered that they were giving free tacos to veterans, so that's a really cool mark on their patriotism and sense of community. PS 2 Small warning: The bench seats at the east (entrance) wall cut off circulation in my legs.

    Second time stopping here because I feel like when you're in Springfield it should be mandatory-…read moreit's just so good! Got a seat at the bar and ordered a NA mojito and it was delicious, and also at only $5 I appreciated the price- sometimes NA drinks are as much as the full alcohol kind. Great attentive service and friendly chats with the employees. I went with the nachos which were SOOO good. Nachos are one of mh favorite foods, so I know good nachos- especially loved the pickled onions and that there were tons of toppings. My friend got two tacos with beef- can't remember the exact kinds but he enjoyed them. Such a great spot and will be back.
