    Half eaten burritos. So good!
    Pete T.

    Had lunch here yesterday with my son. We walked in and it was packed. (Always a good sign) We both ordered burritos. I got the large steak burrito w cheese. He got the large chicken burrito. Our meal was tasty and enjoyable. The employees were all very nice. We'll be back for more.

    Carne asada tacos
    McKena S.

    Came here during my lunch. There was quite a line to this spot but it flowed pretty quickly. I ordered the taco combo with carne asada, no onions, with cheese and sour cream. It came with rice and beans and three salsas to choose from. I figured they'd add cheese and sour cream to the side and require me to add it but no, they added them to the taco so everything was perfectly melted and added in. The meat was amazing and well cooked. Squeezed some lime in and added salsa and it was even more delicious and very filling. Probably some of the best tacos I've had and everything was quick. Also had horchata and it was great. I do prefer it less sweet but it didn't bother me. Staff is friendly as well. I will be back!

    Tacos!!! Carne guisada,el pastor, chicken chipotle, side of rice, chips and homemade salsa.
    Matissa G.

    The salsa is fresh, the corn tortillas are wonderful, the rice had green beans, (mock nopaleta?), and was moist and fluffy! The counter woman was friendly and was sure to ask each customer if they wanted salsa. Of the three tacos, the chicken was my favorite, but I'm a sucker for that smoky chipotle flavor. Each taco had two corn tortillas and was nicely filled and lime wedge was on on the side. Just look at my pic; it says it all! I came in starving, craving "real" tacos because I just moved here from Texas and hadn't had my weekly taco quota. This hit the spot! Everything tasted just like Home! Now that I know Veracruz is here, my transition to living in the mid-west will be a little easier.

    Nachos supreme with carne
    Jesmin N.

    Let me start by saying that I was going to give it a 4 star but nearly an hour before closing they had already run out of things I asked for, didn't have some things listed on the menu and over all didn't look like they wanted to be serving people at that time - they wanted to close down and go home. That being said, the food was amazing and I cant wait to go back there. This is the most authentic Mexican I have had out here. They don't serve everything with ground meat drowning in melted cheese. We ordered the nacho supreme and sopes which were amazing. The salsa's they have are mouth wateringly spicy and the perfect condiment for everything. I am looking forward to going back, earlier in the day so I'll have more options to choose from...hopefully. I will say, after sensing our frustration with not being able to get what we wanted, one of the employees let me use a debit card without reaching their minimum charge needed. So one point for that.

    I was eagerly waiting for this place to open since the sign came up and it did not disappoint!…read moreThe place is spacious, the interiors look welcoming and the music is loud enough to drown the voices around but quiet enough that you can hear across the table. But the best part of the place is the food. The buffet (which is the only option for now but a la Carte is coming soon) is aptly priced. There are 10-12 entree options which as many sides, a fully functional salad bar, and soda and desserts. Everything was cooked to perfection and refilled promptly. It was obvious that the whole Padilla family has put its heart into the place. Make sure to try this place ASAP and talk to the owners. You will not be disappointed.

    As my colleague put it, "that's the most expensive hot dog buffet I've been to."…read more Don't know where to start with this place, but there's so much wrong it's hard to know where to start. First, the best way to describe this place is a buffet featuring all the items you typically find in the American food section of a Chinese buffet. Blah! It's the stuff your average finicky child might want, like Chicken Nuggets, Hot Dogs, and Mac n Cheese, but not as a feature for a restaurant. They do have a decent fresh salad bar, but not any better or worse than other salad options available in downtown Peoria. My lunch consisted of fresh veggies from the salad bar, with olive oil. The olive oil was of particularly low quality, mostly flavorless. Also had a couple chicken tenders, which were not bad. There were baked chicken pieces, three different types of potatoes, rice, pan broiled white fish, the items listed above, sauteed veggies, pizza bread, and pulled pork sliders. Drinks were sodas, ice tea, and cool aid. Yes, cool aid. Food quality is akin to what you might find at a hospital or cafeteria. With meat being overly greasy and overcooked. At $15 per person, I will spend my money elsewhere. The title of the restaurant is misleading. Nothing multi cultural about it. This restaurant is a way to fill your stomach, full stop.
