This was my family's go to for Mexican about 15 -20years ago when they were one of the first Mexican restaurants .Then I started trying other places in southern Illinois. I mentioned a dish "steak on the beach". That I had at a local Mexican restaurant tequilas . They where offended The paying customer mentioned another places dish so they would not take my order until I specifically called the dish by what he called it. I would not go for this and said "you know what I want to eat do you or do you not want my money. Then he was like " you come in here with family right?" This guys is a short thicker Mexican who is either senior mgmt., or part owner. Not sure why he is so rude. He has been there since the Beginning. He did this exact same thing to me once before I let it slide . He also said that people get sick from tequilas chips. I don't even like tequilas. They also had a location in Johnston City.

Read moreI guess I get a little more critical when I'm away from home and feel like trying the Mexican food places, today I tried this place and to be honest it was not that bad,it was clean the staff was good and the food came fast my problem was the taste sorry guys but you need to work on your sazon because it was found lacking the bean we decent and the rice was pretty good the complementary chips and salsa were awesome the salsa was not spicy which I personally like, but all that was overshadowed by the asada burrito sorry guys you need more spice and guacamole because a burrito without guacamole is incomplete and you need a little spicier salsa with some cilantro in it just to add some flavor to what till this day has been one of my top 5 most flavorless burrito I had tried, sorry for the 3 stars but it was really flavorless and I will not try this place again if...
Read moreWent there with my husband. To be honest wasnt expecting anything extraordinary. However I was wrong. Great service from the start. The food was the best Mexican I ever tasted (and I have eaten Mexican food in many place in both Canada and the USA ). I had the chicken Chimachonga and the crepe was delicious and the chicken filling was abundant. Lots of food for a very fair price. A gentleman (who i later found out was the owner) came out and was checking with all the patrons to ensure the food was good. He stopped by our table too. He ensured we were happy and told us the story of his restaurant (because we asked) He then gave us a tour and showed us the beautiful restaurant furniture made in Mexico and the murals and art on the walls. Him and his staff were a total class act. Highly recommend and I would...
