You have to request it, and proceed with caution because it's HOT. The menu is made up of your typical Mexican fare, and for a landlocked town like Aledo, there are a lot of seafood options. I realllllly wanted to try the molcajete dish, but I opted for enchiladas. And it's topped with real Mexican cheese - not queso, as what we're used to down South. The tequila selection is extremely limited - I wanted Herradura or Don Julio - but the bartender must've liked me because 1/5 of my way through my Patron margarita ... Fairy was slurring. :)

I was ready to give up on midwestern Mexican food, but I saw the review for La Cabana and decided to give it one more chance. We're glad we did. I had the beef Chimichanga served with beans and rice and guacamole. Everything was very flavorful. The beans were nice and thick, not the soupy beans we've received in other places.. chips were warm and the guacamole was chunky. My husband had the ranchero pollo. He agreed that it was the best we've had in a long time. The staff were courteous and efficient. Service was quick. Food was excellent. We are 20 miles away. We will be back. The drive is worth it.

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 : )
