    Tacos -- shredded chicken and pastor
    Richard Y.

    We were in town to help move out our daughter from UIUC and they nailed it again ( our third time here). We were seated right away and had a nice view of the bar area. A super friendly server helped us and our water never got below 1/2 glass. We loved the comp chips and mild salsa along with our killer entrees-- seafood quesadilla (it's huge) with black beans, 2 taco dinner (shredded chicken and pork al pastor), and chips and salsa flight with 4 types of salsa. Everything was so good-- from the homemade? tortillas to the chips made on site and the generous portions, this was such an enjoyable meal! Convenient parking in b

    Chips and Salsa Flight

    What a nice little gem in downtown! We came here for their brunch on a Saturday. Food was delicious and service was on point. We started with the chips and salsa flight which highly recommend if you enjoy different salsas. The homemade chips are a great touch! We also tried the steak fajita quesadilla and the pasta poblana which were both delicious !

    Hands down, best dining experience during the 2023 Champaign County Restaurant week. I ordered chicken tortilla soup and Birria tacos. The chicken tortilla soup was served in an interesting way! The waitress first gave me a bowl of sliced tortilla and then poured the soup into it. Great experience! The Birria tacos were a REAL hit! The tacos were stuffed with stewed beef, super juicy and super generous portion. Add some lime juice and onion and cilantro, it was heavenly! This dish was also served with a bowl of soup and you can dip the taco in it. It was super flavorful! Note: because of the juice inside, your hands may get oily after it!

    First time, last time. Food was bland. What little protein was on our plates was not fresh. Tasted off.

    I haven't been in about 6 months. The new prices are keeping us out of restaurants. We live off…read moreof my SS which is ok but you have to pick your battles and I'm a pretty accomplished cook so cooking at home is no problem. I do miss DR and in fact go into somewhat of a case of DT's every time I drive past it. I'm going to have to drop in soon. In the 25+ years we've been going there never once have we had a bad experience. However it's best to avoid during U of I home games.

    My husband, 2 year old, and 4 year old decided to try out this restaurant. I ordered my children…read more(from the kids menu) two chicken quesadillas. Our waiter said to us "the grilled chicken quesadilla?" I said yes because there was only the one chicken option on the kids menu so I assumed that's what he's talking about. After we got our bill we were charged $2 extra for each kid because of the way the chicken was cooked. I asked him what the modification up charge was for and he said it's because I asked to have the grilled chicken and I said I never asked for that I just pointed to the kids chicken option and he said that. (Again I had no idea there's more than one option of cooking the meat for my 2 and 4 year olds meal). He told me he would be right back. At this point no one is angry. He came back with the manager who asks what the problem is and I told her the same thing I was unaware of the modification up charge and she then said everyone just knows that and it doesn't need to be put on the menu because everyone just knows. I said we've never been here before, how would I know that and she then decided to question if I was lying to her and questions if I'm lying to her while rolling her eyes and smirking at me, and says whatever and walks away to make the adjustment. After I went to go pay, I confronted her saying that was very rude to question if I was lying to her and to roll her eyes at me. She then continued to laugh at me and roll her eyes and say what do you want me to do, just leave. I have never had someone who I'm assuming is the manager be so rude before. I guess make sure you are not being charged for something random because if you want it taken off you will be laughed at and called a liar for not just knowing it's an up-charge. Also the food was just okay.

    Dos Reales Mexican Restaurant - This is what I had. The chicken flautas. Rice, beans and salad all freshly cooked and the meat was excellent.
