Never thought I'd drive to Shelburn for dinner but I'm glad I did.
Our local Mexican restaurants cook my food with meat when I request it not to be. Unfortunately, meat ends up in my food quite often. We usually drive to Vincennes or Sullivan as both of those restaurants give the extra effort and cook separate. We took a chance and drove over to Shelburn tonight.
We've had Taco Tequila in Terre Haute a few times and they've been good about cooking separate. Our server tonight at Shelburn restaurant spoke really good English and understood my request. He also said the rice and beans are both free of animal ingredients.
I ordered the mushroom fajita (without mushrooms) with no cheese or sour cream. I got a huge skillet of onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Which might not sound exciting but was exactly what I wanted. I noticed the menu didn't mention guacamole and the salad plate had none. I had to order a side of it for $4.50.
Chips and salsa were excellent. The staff did great keeping up with us (I had not eaten all day). Food came out pretty quickly even with the special order. Everything looked and tasted great! It was a lot of food, like a whole lot, and I hate leftover fajitas so I ate more than I should have.
So, vegans and vegetarians, you can feel good about eating here. The staff was excellent and were accommodating. Rice and beans are vegan friendly too. Thank you Taco Tequila!
Absolutely loved the old train station. Super cool building and great atmosphere. Shelburn is lucky to have such a classy and clean Mexican restaurant. The local yokles drove by in their pickup and screamed at us on our way in. Also, be sure to watch your step on the way out the door....

The shrimp was excellent, I will order it again and again. Loved the 'heat'in the sauce. My sister, though 'not hungry', consumed the entire T-Bone steak. For picky eater, that was a true compliment ! My appreciation for a great meal, loved the use of the train depot as a restaurant ( the place looks amazing) I highly recommend you try the restaurant and support...
   Read moreWent there for the first time today and won't be back. The food was ok. But they never come around and check on us to see if we needed refills ( had soda pop). It so loud in there you couldn't have a conversation. Didn't like the decor at all. They were not friendly. First time I ever been to a restaurant where it took two people to take your order for two patrons and one waitress just...
