Hard working staff on a busy, hot day. Food was fantastic!! Been to Mexican restaurants all over the country and this place had some of the best tasting Mexican food I’ve ever had and that says a lot! Only complaint and it was their fault, a little warm in there. A/C was struggling hard as it was 97 degrees outside with a 116 heat index. Nothing that some ice water and a frozen margarita couldn’t handle! . When passing through this area highly recommend lunch or dinner here.

Have driven by this restaurant countless times and finally decided to stop in. And, glad we did!! The menu was very big … LOTS of choices; it took us a while to settle on what we wanted to order. The food was excellent, portions were generous, and the service was quick. I think the time between ordering and the food arriving was maybe 5 minutes. The food was hot and tasty. The salsa/chips were great. Only small criticism is that I ordered a fajita meal and was only given 2 tortilla shells. I’m sure I could’ve asked for more, but with the amount of fajita meat/veggies they provide, they really should provide at least 3-4 tortillas from the start. Would definitely recommend and will be back again!

The food is awesome! The beans are unlike any I’ve ever had, very very good! The service is super fast and friendly. Looking forward to having their taco truck serving our guests at a upcoming event! Thanks again!

I stopped in for lunch on 7/20/23 while traveling from St. Louis to Beloit. I had never been here before and was pleasantly surprised. The comprehensive menu had multiple offerings to choose from. My traveling companion and I stopped at 11:30 and beat the rush that started at noon. The food was very good and served promptly. The restroom was spotless (important for travelers).

Love that they bring salsa in carafe and you have your own dish for dipping! Queso cheese and salsa were perfect! We had the chicken quesadillas, chicken and beef chimichangas and fried ice cream! They were all very flavorful and perfect portions! Service was great! Love this place and wish we had come here sooner! Will be back!

This was a phenomenal Mexican restaurant! The food was delicious! I got a dinner that had 4 enchiladas; one cheese, one beef, one shredded chicken and one refried beans. Then it’s covered with a delicious queso cheese and topped off with a perfectly grilled ribeye steak! It was absolutely wonderful!

We have gone here a few times as we felt maybe the first time was a fluke. It’s the small things the food is decent. Service is poor and just things like napkins or refills, and the salsa is poorly made. Some minor tweaks, and this would be a good place for dinner.

I should have known better. Mexican cuisine in Central Illinois? Not a good idea apparently. Was with a small group, not my pick of places.
