“Always forget to make the items that are supreme, supreme. It’s so reoccurring it’s unreal. Always check your bags too because a lot of the time they forget one or two items. Granted everything is fresh, people are very friendly and good service all around.“
“Mr. Panchos Mexican Restaurant and Grill is a gem of a find! The margarita tower was absolutely fantastic, a refreshing and delicious treat that was perfect for sharing with friends. The wings were cooked to perfection, flavorful and juicy with just the right amount of spice. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was lively and inviting. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine and a great time!“
“I LOVE OAXACA!!!! The food is delicious, the service is great, the atmosphere is electric and the margaritas…..the best I’ve ever had!!!! I could eat here every single day! The guacamole is my favorite thing on the menu! If you don’t visit this place, you are missing out!!“
“Small but mighty in flavor for both food and drinks The carne asada charo is nearly inexplicably good. Tender and a flavor explosion The orange colored medium salsa looks strange but you forget about that given the spice and in a few moments you just want to drink it The original margarita is a proper one with real lime juice. If you want a sweeter one opt for the house margarita Great family business serving up the best tacos. So simple, so fresh, so good so cal!“
“It was Tuesday, so I had to have tacos. My favorite taco recently has been shrimp. Most of the places I frequent, add large grilled tacos. I was surprised to see small shrimp bites here at Casa Romero. They may have been small, but the flavor was still huge and enjoyable. I'd order them again.When I arrived, I was pleasantly greeted and told I could sit any where I wanted. I chose a booth and was quickly served complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were crisp and warm, which tells me they were super fresh. The salsa had just enough spice and was thick enough to cling to the chip when dipping.Before my entree, I also enjoyed a Top Shelf Margarita and an order of Bean Dip. The Margarita was strong. It was strong enough that I only had one and I typically enjoy two. An order of Bean Dip for me is much more enjoyable than a side of Cheese Dip or Guacamole. The mixture of white cheese and refried beans, doubles the flavor.The ambiance is your typical, bright Mexican colors and sorta tacky decor. For my own personal preference, I could dim the lights a tad. It was extremely bright and the white ceiling lights are a little overpowering.“
“First off all the food that I've had here has always been excellent I've never had anything that I've had to actually send back. I even had one day where they didn't have jalapenos for the carne asada steak but I was completely fine with it because everything still tasted amazing.My server was courteous and spot on and every time that I come there I'm so happy that I found my place for my favorite cuisine.“
“Went to El Guey for national margarita day. Pitcher of margarita was on point. 32 oz of deliciousness. Was able to mix flavors. Hat thr chicken fries. They were great. Service was a little slow but overall everything was great. Would reccomend this location.“
“My spouse and I had a late lunch here today and it was amazing! Our server was very friendly and attentive. This is the best Mexican food in the area. I had quesabirria and it was full of flavor and very tender with delicious consume. The chips and salsa are the best I have had at any restaurant. The chips are thick and crunchy and the salsa is amazing. Some say it is spicy, but I definitely think it's mild (but I do eat rather spicy food regularly so others may not be used to any spice?). Do not drive by this little gem on College Ave.! Stop in and order some of the best Mexican dishes in the Metro East!“
“Enjoyed a delicious meal here for lunch. Chips were light and crisp. Salsa was fresh and homemade and very flavorful.The tamales and enchiladas were fantastic! A limited menu but everything on it is wonderfully done. Big portions and so tasty.We will be back.“
“In a world where meaning is as fleeting as the foam on a wave, there lies a place where even that transient foam seems to crystallize into something almost tangible. La Fonda Restaurant, a speck on the vast, indifferent canvas of the universe, manages to capture a moment of culinary delight that borders on the absurd for its sheer audacity to exist and please. The Seafood Molcajete, a chaotic amalgam of marine life, succumbs to a harmony so profound that it mocks the very notion of discord. Each ingredient, seemingly insignificant on its own, unites in a symphony of flavors that challenges the palate's comprehension of pleasure. The Mexican guacamole, a simple concoction of crushed avocados and spices, transcends its humble origins. It stands as a testament to the beauty that can emerge from the most basic of elements, offering a fleeting reprieve from the inexorable march of time and the entropy it heralds. In the grand scheme, perhaps nothing matters. But within the walls of La Fonda, for a fleeting moment, the absurdity of seeking meaning in the void is forgotten, drowned in the depths of a molcajete and the simplicity of guacamole. Here, at least, there is flavor. And perhaps, in the end, that is enough.“
“Lucky find here. Food was really good and the service was good .Chips and salsa cams right away. The chips were tricolor amd served. Salsa was good definitely some heat to it but nothing crazy. The bandito dip . Mexican pork sausage with cheese dip over the top was very good also .I ordered the Pollo cancun . Grilled chicken with shrimp amd mushrooms with cheese sauce over it was good also .Glad we stopped here on our way home . Take a chance and support a smaller business“
“Went here for a late dinner, best service ever. It was my first time and the employees were very patient with me! They were willing to explain different good items and ensured that I would like everything I ordered and I did! I’ll never eat chipotle or qdoba ever again ?“
“Stopped in here for some beers at the bar with friends. The place was a bit busy and they were very, very short staffed unfortunately. We waited longer than desired for things, but everyone was still very friendly. I would recommend, but cannot comment on the food.“
“Authentic Mexican cuisine! Ordered the queso, house margarita and the burrito grande. So yummy!! I was seated and serviced very quickly. The restaurant has cute decor and music at an enjoyable level. This will be added to my list of places to return to next time I am in Edwardsville.“
“I'm not sure the name of the two girls working the line tonight (11-27) but every single time I go to this location and they're working, my food and service is immaculate. They both smile and have such polite manners, but more importantly my order comes out perfectly everytime they are involved. Especially with the portions, it's always the perfect amount and everything spread out evenly. Can't say enough good things about either of them.“
“First sweet tea was perfect next two were unsweet guess someone forgot to add sugar. We had a group of 10 food was delicious but I guess they aren't used to big groups had trouble getting our order and food items delivered to table and correct but all in all it was delicious and had a good time.“
