You must go here! My daughter and I had heard there was a new restaurant in Elsberry and we wanted…read moreto go try it out. We popped in on a Friday night. There was a large party in the front but noone waiting. We couldn't decide between tacos and bbq so we ordered both :) We ordered 2 full meals which was enough to feed an entire family! Daughter and I LOVED everything we ordered! Especially the dessert! Service was great from the beginning as well. The owners work the counter and the food line and when we asked a bit about the restaurant they took the time to tell us a bit about it which I enjoyed. You order at the counter and then the food is brought to the table. Only thing I didn't love here is that none of the tables that we tried would sit flat. They all have a wobble or wobbly leg and there was at least one time I thought my drink was going to spill from table wobble - I do not like the anxiety of having to wonder if my drink is going to spill on me during a dinner out.

This was our second time eating here and couldn't say enough good things about this place. We had…read morethe brisket, pulled pork and chicken fajita tacos and wow, great flavor and the meat was cooked perfectly. Awesome sides too of Mac n cheese and rice and beans. Everyone was super nice and prompt service. Loved the music from the bar side, even though we were not there for the alcohol it was nice hearing the live music as we ate in the dining area. Definitely will be back for the great food.

I asked the waiter if they had a fish specialty or a bone-in fish and he said yes and pointed at something on the menu and I said "bone in? He said yas.. i said "okay" this is what came out definitely not bone in, definitely not a specialty, definitely NOT a filling dinner...... Wifey had the Fajitas Carretas, which is her norm at ALL Mexican restaurants..... and what she got was half the size of all other Mexican restaurants, guessnits the location. Higher class clientele, higher prices, lower portions. I forgot what taco trio our gueat had but it was equally some food truck street taco plate. No joke our dinner felt like what shoulda been a lunch meal for a dieter. I wish i could say something nice about yheplace, like the drinks were on point, or service top notch, but we don't drink outside of home and well the language barrier was huge here. Decore & Paintings on the wall were nice. Sadly a one and done for this family.

Food was good, cooked to order, donuts were okay nothing fancy.

This is how it's done right. The dining room appearance is simple and plain, but that is a good indicator of the food to come. It's good comfort Mexican food, with no frills, no complications. The service is always outstanding, accepting custom orders with a smile. My wife and I regularly go there for our fix of amazing yet inexpensive Mexican food. We will usually place our order, then dash next door to the grocery, to stock up on tortillas, and other Hispanic food specialties that aren't available without going into the city.

First off the waiters were nice, great and always making sure we were doing well, and helping us with our refills. Very super nice, they made the experience well worth. For the food, the appetizers were very good, especially the Fiesta Platter. The chicken wings served was well seasoned and the quesadillas were a standout for me. Definitely a must if you have a crowd of 2-4 people who are hungry! The Carne Asada they gave out was HUGE. We loved it, and it was seasoned well, would definitely order that again whenever I visit. The Fajita Burrito was huge as well, stuffed with steak, rice and more cheese, it was a delicious and flavorful fight to go against when taking that burrito on. The fajitas sizzling at the bottom was really good too, great to get the vegetables in! As for the area, the place looked nice, giving a traditional late night vibe that makes you feel welcomed when entering in. Would come back! Loved everything about it.

We went the other night for dinner and were one of two people there, the staff was so kind and happy to help us, and accommodating. The inside of the restaurant was dim lighting, new tables, and awesome music playing creating quite a vibe. The price of the food however, did not reflect the price. This is where it starts becoming a toss up. It is known that the owner, a woman, works the drive through and is incredibly unpleasant and borderline rude. Very short with customers and you can tell they try to get over on absolutely everything often citing "prices for food are going up so are ours" - so the menus don't reflect proper prices. Additionally, if you add or edit your order they charge whatever they feel like, it always seems to be inconsistent. This is a pattern here so don't be surprised when your 2 taco platter, fajitas and two margaritas is 78 dollars before they ask for tip. In my opinion, you can find better Mexican for the price. The atmosphere inside also does not reflect such pricing, you are not waited on, it's a counter you pick up your stuff and buss your own plates. Should not be costing 78 dollars for dinner.
