Good, fast, and friendly. I would recommend for a casual lunch or dinner. Careful ordering a large draft beer, it's 32 oz!

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.

The atmosphere is like you are family. The owner/manager (…read moreI don't know which he is) greets you while you are there. They promptly take your order and bring you chips & salsa with little bowls to pour the salsa in, so everyone at the table has their own bowl. The prices are good and the food is great! We usually end up with a to-go box because the servings are generous.

Stopped in here on a Saturday night to check out the band that was playing. The place was not…read morecrowded at all. We were just staying for a bit, but then decided to order an appetizer as we were enjoying the band and were going to stay for a while. We ordered the Captains Supreme Nachos, which barely passed itself off as food. First when we ordered it we were asked if we wanted ground beef or chicken on it. We ordered ground beef. when we got our nachos it smelled like something was on fire. As we looked, the paper in the dish that the chips were on was burned on all edges, and some of the chips were burned as well. Why and how could you burn nachos. These were just regular chips, with a dab of cheese, enough to only cover about 3 chips, and a teaspoon of ground beef on it. It was topped with jalapeno peppers that were so hot it was almost dangerous. These nachos had NO flavor. They were the worst nachos I've had in my life. I've had better nachos from a bag at a little league baseball game for $3. Almost more ridiculous was the fact that these "supreme" nachos cost $9.95 and they charged us $2 more for a teaspoon of ground beef. What a double rip-off. Bad food at a high price. Our bill was $20 for lousy nachos, one captain and coke, and a 7-up. The only reason we gave this place one star is for the nice location on the lake, and the good band that was playing that night. We don't like throwing our money away and leaving unsatisfied. We will NOT be coming here again.
