Add my accolades to all the others: excellent!…read more So quick. Service was excellent. Loved the very homemade salsa and warm chips. All of our dishes were excellent as well: carnitas were giant, juicy chunks of flavor, the chicken chimichanga had a nice seasoning and wasn't dry, and the paellla-- holy cow... DO NOT MISS. Steak, chicken AND shrimp with the queso intertwined. One of the best Mexican dishes I've ever had! Included what appeared to be homemade tortillas as well but honestly you don't even need them. Just so much flavor!! Don't let the outside fool you, this is a MUST if you're eating in the area...

Based on that, we made plans to meet friends there at 3:00 PM. By 4:15 PM, staff told us they were closed, cutting short our visit with friends we hadn't seen in over two years. As we were leaving, we noticed a sign on the door saying they closed at 4:00 PM, but it was not there when we walked in. Had we known, we would have chosen somewhere else to meet.

I came to Macomb for an event and asked the hotel clerk for suggestions for a non-chain restaurant…read more Los Charros was the first one he suggested, and I was in the mood for Mexican, so no other suggestions were needed. There are two locations in town, and I went to the one on East Jackson Street. I was immediately seated in a booth. Water and chips arrived before I could open the menu. The chips were excellent, and the salsa was quite good, though surprisingly oregano-forward (I'm pretty sure that was the flavor). It's like they replaced the cilantro with oregano. Unusual, but tasty. I ordered the Alambres dinner, and this massive plate of food instantly appeared. I don't know what kind of magic they have going on in the kitchen, but I've never seen dinner arrive that fast. Delicious rice (perfectly cooked and seasoned), a nice pile of lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, etc. But the star of the plate: lots of shrimp, thin strips of steak and chicken, sauteed yellow/red bell peppers and onions, smothered in a cheese sauce. All very tasty, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The cheese sauce was a little thin for me, but that's a very minor issue with this impressive plate of food (it was so much food that I ended up finishing it later that night in my hotel room - still good). The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was fast and good, and the price was ridiculously low.

Highly recommended!! Last thing I expected was excellent Mexican food in Macomb, IL : )

We like…read moreto come here after our Sunday meeting with friends and guests from out of town and they are always able to accommodate our group size. My hubby and I usually get the Steak Fajita's with rice, beans, guacamole and flour tortillas and they give you plenty of food. I usually have to add a little bit of salt to my fajitas, but otherwise, it's pretty decent. They also give you a side of chips and salsa for the table. Christina has been our server several times and she always does a great job! Friendly, gets our orders right, and handles the lunch rush like a champ! All in all, Santana's is consistent and reliable, especially for this neighborhood.

Pasta Texana and Shrimp! I resisted ordering this, despite it being suggested to me. I mean, who…read moreeats pasta at a Mexican Restaurant?? Well, let me tell you... this fusion inspired dish has reopened my heart and mind to pasta!! So this dish is so simplistic in nature- yet complex in delivery and flavor! The shrimp was perfectly seasoned and seared/ yet remained tender. The pasta was tossed in a cream sauce that actually is a light queso cheese sauce. Then it had just the right amount of zucchini and onion perfectly sautéed to compliment- not overly dominate- this delightful and satisfying dish!! If I weren't so hell bent on trying new menu items each visit- I would order this again in a heartbeat.. and swallow my pride about my usual mundane views on pasta. Now- how does restaurant compare to the other " near by and local" Mexican restaurant ( Los Grisoles)? Well let me tell you. The staff and owners are so friendly and attentive- they treat me like family even with me being the outsider from out of town I am! The food is displayed on the plates- not just "slapped on the plates." The bar does the trick and creates "just the right kind of feel good feeling" after chugging the 32 oz margarita!! The decor and ambiance places it far beyond what one would expect in a small farm town. Compared to " the other Mexican place.." it's like comparing a Sonic Cheeseburger to a steak or burger at Texas Roadhouse. Get the drift?! Try this gem.. try it often like I do! Grow the balls to try a new dish each time like I do!! You won't be disappointed! Hmmmm... already thinking about what I will be trying when I come up to camp next week!!

The restaurant is clean and vibrantly decorated. We also go to take in part of a World Cup game. Our server was so friendly, like an old friend. The menu has a great selection old favorites and specialties. My huevos con chorizo was tasty and there was enough to take home for later. Their salsa was fresh and their chips were really good. Better than most restaurant chips I've had. My son had the Carne Asada. I tasted the meat and it was very flavorful. He was actually full at the end of his meal. Quite a fit for a 17 year-old. Whether you're traveling on the road or local, I would definitely recommend El Nopal.

The space is open and inviting, newly remodeled (former IHOP) with a bar and bar seating in the center. The large menu gives you a lot of options, but not overwhelming. Everything was delicious from top to bottom. The chips are thick and crispy, the salsa was bright and fresh. Everything just seemed a little better from the drinks to the food. We had a flight of margaritas, the Quesadilla Chihuahua (steak and chorizo), the Alan Special (chicken and queso), a tamale (pork), and the Mexican Cheesesteak. Everything came quickly, was hot, and delicious. Our server was just the right amount of attentive and friendly. Prices seemed at the same scale as most other restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Had a couple of street tacos, a chimichanga, and chips and queso. The tacos were just okay; the meat seemed dried out, and the lime was such low quality that there was no juice when I squeezed it. The chimichanga was really good, though, and the queso was the white cheese I love to see. Service was okay. No one talked to me for five minutes, and I had to get my own menu, but whatever. Still better than I expected for a mid-sized city in the Midwest strip mall.
