Stopped in for a light lunch service was exceptional from the minute you walk in until the time you leave. Everything we had down to the margaritas were great. The decor was bright and colorful and appeared to have tons of seating for larger parties. We recommend this place if you are in the area, prices were very reasonable.

We stopped here on our way into town and were met with a kind smile and led to a table immediately even on a Saturday night. They have so much space! The Fajado was so original and so so good! My son who dislikes Mexican food snarfed down the Burrito Colorado in no time. He loved it. And my husband raved about the el pastor street tacos. Best last second “let’s go here” food decision made on this trip!

Food was great and service was awesome! We were very tired from our road trip. We had a great meal and never wanted for anything! Prices are very reasonable.

Never take names for pick up orders and give you the wrong one way too often while still charging you for the correct one. Wasted $37 and didn’t get the correct order or even get the equivalent amount of food. We will be going to Mattoon fork now on.

Food good but don’t disclose fees and then attitude if you ask. Their hostess might be better suited in the kitchen instead of in the front

Very delicious food! My favorite place to eat and have a margarita! My go to is always the burrito grande with steak. Reasonably priced minus the card fee if you pay using a card.

Decent place if you need a quick bite to eat. I wouldn't classify it as authentic, as the food had very little flavor. The salsa was done well, though! Very fresh and delicious. The service was quick, and the menu was pretty large. Prices were super cheap.

Vegetarian options: Small vegetarian menu, but I am sure they would allow off menu orders.

Passing through on a family trip and I'm glad we stopped in! Our service was quick and the food was hot. Portions were huge, affordable prices too!
My group loved the chips and salsa, chicken nachos, bean burrito, and the El Rancherito Steak Chimi.

The day we dined in, the restaurant was a bit hot inside but that may not always be the case.

Vegetarian options: Just a handful of choices but it's nice to have a dedicated vegetarian section on the menu.

Parking: Plenty of parking around the building

First time eating here during an overnight stay. A gentleman said he was a regular and complimented the food as we exited our vehicle. We were not disappointed. Besides enjoying a delicious meal and warm table service, hearing the sounds of kids laughing made me smile.
