Be careful of the hidden "$100 = 20% auto gratuity" policy -- it's calculated AFTER tax!…read more Visited this Champaign location recently. My food and drink subtotal was $93.73, which is clearly under $100. However, after adding 11.5% tax, the total hit $104.51, and they automatically slapped a $18.75 (20%) service charge on my bill. The rule printed on the receipt ("20% will be added when over $100 is spent") is deliberately vague. Nowhere on the menu does it state that tax is included in this threshold, and our server never mentioned it before we ordered. It feels like a designed trap to catch customers who think they're safely under $100 pre-tax. Food was okay, but this billing practice is misleading. Also, since the 20% is already forced, don't accidentally double-tip on the blank line! Won't be returning, and would advise others to ask exactly how this fee works before dining in.

To top all of this off it was my wife's birthday. so I left only a two dollar tip. if you are a person of color or a minority group or just a non white family I would not recommend this place. Food was also lacking in quality don't know if it was just our food but the veggies were old.

But their food is a huge fail. I've had nothing but disappointment with whatever I order. Twice I've gotten the taco salad just to see if it was a fluke and both times it has been very watery (like they didn't dry the lettuce). They also don't give you much with your taco salad except the beef/chicken and lettuce. Everywhere else I've eaten this salad they serve chopped tomato, guacamole, shredded cheese and sour cream. Go here for drinks and conversation, skip the food.

I told the waitress and asked her to take away my plate, which was barely touched, but I was still charged the full amount. Our table of 10 all had separate checks, but were automatically charged an 18% tip each, even though we were the ONLY customers in the whole place on a Monday evening. Will not be returning.

It's also open til late compared to a lot of other restaurants (11pm), and the servers are nice without being too much. I usually get the Alex Tacos, what they're known for, which come with a mound of meat on each and these little grilled onion bulbs (I don't know what they're called) that I really love for some reason. Last night, I went for a friend's birthday dinner, and we got blended mango, passion fruit, and strawberry margarita pitchers and shared. They gave us sugar rimmed glasses with a sliced lime; it was a fun time! They also give you free chips and salsa which were gone within the first 5 minutes of us being there, but they refilled them for us :) Half of us got Alex tacos and other half got burritos. The ones that got burritos did comment that there were a lot of beans and not that much meat in them. Will still keep going every once in a while when I want some late night mexican food.

Everything I have ever tried here is just excellent! I'm working my way through the menu but at this time my favorites are the avocado tacos and the chimichangas. Salsa is full of flavor and very smooth. Excellent service, and you can order online. I'm still amazed that I happened to discover this hidden gem on one of my trips a few years ago. If you are traveling on I-74 take a quick detour at the Mahomet exit, it is less than a mile off the interstate.
