This was the highest-rated Mexican place in town--I went in while in Moberly for business. The good…read morestuff first--great atmosphere. It looks new, dark and inviting, with clean tables and good decorations. Looks like a great place to step into for ice cold beer when it's 100 degrees outside. Service was friendly as well, and they were playing some kind of Hispanic easy-listening instead of the usual "Mexican polka." The salsas were also very good--neither was over-cumin'd, and neither tasted like marinara, which happens sometimes with cheap canned house salsas. I had the Arroz con Pollo, which was hot, fresh, and properly cooked. But there was one problem, and it was a significant one--skimpy chicken. Usually you get either a whole chicken breast (or at least half of one) with this dish. I had MAYBE 3oz. of protein. They serve their arroz con pollo with chopped veggies to pump up the volume of the dish--most times arroz con pollo is just that--chicken on top of rice, usually with queso on top. We all know meat is expensive right now, and the way this dish is prepared makes it pretty obvious they're trying to save here. Maybe some of the other dishes are different? A great place, but next time I'd have to either pay for extra chicken, or a protein shake afterwards.

I was surprised that it was not fried like I've seen so many times, but in a nice soft tortilla with a cheese sauce on top. I ordered the rice and beans as a side and for some reason, they weren't my favorite, but hubby liked them! He ordered the lunch beef burrito and commented on how fresh it was. Next time in I would love to try some of the seafood dishes! Glad we stopped and gave them a try on our travels through Columbia.

Waited over 30 minutes for our food to be served. Ordered 2 pollo con queso and it was not great, rice wasnt great, and was cold. Ordered chicken fajita, specifically said chicken fajita 2 times but they messed it up and put steak with it, was extremely dry with burnt areas as well. Ordered carnitas and it came as a huge serving, couldn't eat but half of it. Never came and refilled drinks or asked how the food was. Ambiance was loud couldn't hear my family talking to me and they couldn't hear me as well. They need to have more of the workers serving food and not running around with chips and salsa. If you want good Mexican food and good service go to La Fuente. Do not recommend.

Food is not consistent in price, quality or preparation. Price quoted for same dish depends on who…read moreanswers the phone. Food quality and presentation is the same way. The last time I ordered, they put a hard shell item in the same container with an enchilada and the shell was soggy as was the lettuce. The item should be in its own container so the lettuce stays crisp and the sour cream doesn't melt and get warm. Service is below average. Not being from area, I've never experienced a business that doesn't present you with your pick up order, but rather they assume you will go to a booth and "pick a bag" after paying. I stood at counter the first time I ordered from there and the gal pointed to a booth across from the counter where there were bags of food sitting on seats and on table. It's the most unprofessional and non-customer service behavior for a restaurant to have and not appealing in the least. They should get your food order and hand it to you. After my most recent call to place yet another order after consistently being a customer despite the poor quality of food and service, they quoted me yet another out of the sky price for my same food order. I said never mind and I've never ordered from them again. They lost my business.
