I love this place. Good authentic Mexican food and great price. They also have the Mexican coke that is made with sugar in the glass bottle. It's a family business. I had a lime margarita. It has a vegetarian section on it's menu for vegetarians.

Really great drink pitchers and exactly customer service. I'm from Phoenix, AZ so I really can't rate traditional dishes because Midwest Mexican is not the same. But I will say that I had a delicious fajita quesadilla that I loved. The cheese was the white Midwest queso, and it was surprisingly good. The chicken was tender and delicious and I loved the extra grilled veggies.

This place is a Drake staple. Would come here to start the night with their cheap margarita pitchers and some choripollo. Miguel is the goat. Staff is always super friendly and the food is amazing. If you go on a Friday or Saturday evening, there will be some drunk college kids, but they are all harmless.
