    Steak with salsa and melted cheese
    Jennifer T.

    Who would have thought this would be a great Mexican restaurant in this area?! My friend comes this way and saw it and suggested we give it a try. I was skeptical but I like trying places so we gave it a go. Well...we were pleasantly surprised! It was a large restaurant with different eating areas, gambling in a small room. The bathrooms were cold but clean and smelled of cleaning. To the food. We had to ask for our waitress as I don't think they knew who was to work our table since we waited a while and they kept passing us up. We started with an app of a bread with chorizo and cheese served with a cheese sauce. Loved it. Along came our flight of margaritas which lasted through the meal. The chips were crisp and the salsa fresh. I got the steak with salsa and melted cheese and it came with avocado, rice and beans. Not really a rice person but this rice was good. The whole pinto beans had a nice flavor. I scooped some refried beans from my friends' plate and they were seasoned as well. She also liked the burrito. There is a parking lot but it looks like the restaurant can hold more. We just beat the dinner rush so we were able to park fine and get seated quickly.

    Stopped in the other night for dinner with the family. From first appearance it's a cute and clean little Mexican restaurant. We all ordered drinks - being from the south I forgot that northerns don't know how to make tea so I was kind of disgusted when I got my murky mud glass of tea. I think it might have been a stir in powder tea? I'm unsure. It didn't taste bad but looking at it made my queasy. The chips were fresh and the salsa was okay. Not the best not the worst, just okay. The fajita mocajete was very good! Lots of chicken, beef, and shrimp. And my husband was raving about the sauce in it. He LOVED this dish. The kids had chicken and a burrito and they both liked their food as well for a kids meal. We'll come back for sure to try our more yummy dishes. I just won't order the tea again haha

    I loved the decor and it was very clean! Server and host were nice, friendly and attentive. My dinner was good and my hubby liked his. I didn't care much for my drink (the blue Laguna). The salsa was very strange and almost tasted like a thick tomato soup. Otherwise it was ok.

    I've been here a few times and haven't been disappointed. I've changed the Fried Snapper dish to fit my taste buds. The newest edition are the slot machines. Ooooo boy another spot to loose my money. Good drinks + Slot machines = Broke me!!

    Shrimp (I think chimichanga)

    Have been here a few times, the food is good, and service is okay. The salsa is unlike any other salsa I've had before- but it's pretty good. Worth a try if you're in the area.

    They're okay not really authentic mexican, and what's the deal with the tomato soup salsa? Habaneros up the street is better IMO.

    They were OK. I'd give them a higher score because the food was good, but the prices were a little pricey. The service was excellent though.

If you are looking for something more like a family restaurant, far removed from the tourist areas in almost any Mexican city or town, then you have found the right place. The place is clean. The chairs, tables and booths mismatched and well used but serviceable. The menus photocopied. The lighting is a little harsh. There's the compulsory photo of the Pope and the Madonna hanging in the corner. All of this and great food combine to make this my go to place for authentic Mexican cooking. I just sat down for a carry it dinner of 3 tacos pastor ($7.95 - Mexican style with cilantro, onion and tomato, thank you) some very good rice and the best beans I have had since I moved here from Chicago in 2005. I wish I could have shown you but I thought about pictures after I ate ... the smell was driving me wild! If your looking for real, authentic, family cooked food ... Get off of I-65 at exit 215, drive about 3 miles East to the stop sign, turn left and look for the orange building on the right. You won't be sorry. I'm thinking about going back again tomorrow!

It took nearly 15 minutes for our server to greet us, and our appetizer arrived before our drinks, for this round, only three drink orders total. Throughout the visit, we felt pressured to place our entrée order before we were ready. Once our food arrived, we noticed the enchiladas had red sauce instead of the tomatillo/green sauce we ordered. The food runner insisted the red sauce was tomatillo sauce, which was clearly incorrect. What stood out most was the lack of service continuity. We were seated by the window and noticed our server, Jacqueline, left around 6 PM simply because her shift ended. There was no introduction to another server or any handoff whatsoever. After waiting quite a while with no one checking on us, we eventually had to go to the host stand ourselves just to close out the bill. Our tab was around $200. Rather than dine and dash, we paid in full for the food and drinks, but chose not to leave gratuity based on the experience. The food itself was nicely presented and overall tasted good, but high prices comparable to Chicago do not automatically make a restaurant upscale. If you're looking to overspend on Mexican cuisine while receiving poor customer service, this may be the place for you.

We were promptly greeted and given lunch and specials menus. The menu is enormous and plenty of choices for any palate. I found what I wanted, bean tostadas and cheese enchiladas. I love the finely shredded white cheese they sprinkled on top of the bean tostadas. I got the Vegetarian C plate which was $10.99. I admit I was not too crazy about the cheese enchilada but it was OK. I was pleased that the server allowed me to get another bean tostada in place of the bean burrito. We shared a bowl of white queso dip yummmmmm! Hot gooey deliciousness. It was a very generous serving and we took some of it home. Cousin got the Burrito Tapatio holy cow it is the biggest burrito ever!!!! There should be a warning on the menu to let customers know it is the size of your head. Seriously. It is enough for at least three meals. My aunt got some corn tacos which she enjoyed. Very reasonably priced and a tasty meal, great service.
