    Front of the menu - The flyer promotes Ike's, a historic bar and grill in Charleston, Illinois, established in 1942. It features a black-and-white photo of Ivan 'Ike' Kennard, with his birth and death years (1922-2015), and the quote, 'It's not just a bar, it's a tradition.' The flyer includes contact information for carry-out and catering services, with the phone number 217-348-7695, and notes that sales tax is included in all prices.

    We were traveling back home and wanted a good bar burger. Ike's sounded like a great choice when we searched. The establishment has history, which I like. I would recommend it. The burger was cooked exactly like I ordered. Our server was so nice. I asked him what was good, and he took the time to tell us what the best lunch items were. Burgers, wraps, pretzel with beer cheese. There was a party going on, so it was definitely a very friendly local bar. Onion rings were great, too. Well, we did find Ike's for a great burger. You must try this little bar on the corner.

    I ordered Ike's for lunch on door dash, went to take a bite of my burger and I bit into something hard. That item happened to be a screw and no I'm not making this up! I will not be ordering food from Ike's again.

    two baskets of food on a table - Fried chicken tenders and onion rings are presented on checkered paper in a basket, accompanied by two small containers of dipping sauces. A tall blue glass with a straw is also on the table. The background shows a wooden wall and part of a restaurant setting.

    Wifey and I were SHOCKED! I mean we were completely floored. We could not believe that we had not…read morewritten a review for this place yet!!! (Oh my goodness! After posting THIS review I see that we've already reviewed it, not once, but TWICE before!!! I think that should testify how much we love the place!) This is one of our "fer sher" go-to's. I think we just assumed we had already done it. So, let's commence: They say you can know all about a Mexican restaurant just by sampling the salsa. If that is true, this place is just top notch. Wifey says, "Not too puréed, not too chunky, not too spicy, not too bland, Just Right." I'm pretty sure she joined Goldilocks, but, who knows... Anyway, I'd like to finish this review today so we will not go through everything we've had on the menu, but I did want to say, "We've have had nothing we didn't thoroughly enjoy." The staff is ALWAYS polite and after you've been here a few times, the owner/host remembers your drink order. That "pleasant/I've been seen" vibe is nice. Anyway, today I had the shrimp tacos. Just another fantastic lunch here at Taco Amigos. Let's hear what wifey thinks: Hubby's right. And I said it. So he better not miss the chance to record that on the calendar for future reference that it only took 30 years for me to (graciously) give that to him. This place is the bees knees! Everything is so good. My fave is the street tacos on corn tortillas with lots of onions and cilantro. I also love the Pollo Sinaloa. Mmm! And, for real, I come for the chips and salsa because it is that good. I could be happy with that alone.

    This little Mexican spot is our go to when visiting family in Illinois . We frequent this spot more…read morethan I should admit. The food is always delish, the staff is helpful and the food comes quick. There's something for everyone. They even offer some American items for picky eaters. I love that you can also eat here with a severe gluten allergy and know you're safe. Miguel runs a great little business.
