The best experience!! We had a very large group after a funeral, and they were not expecting us. Areali was the only waitress at the time, but her and the staff made it smooth and seamless! Fantastic food and even better service! She not one time even looked stressed! We can’t thank you guys enough for making our time great after a hard morning! Highly recommend and definitely ask for Areali!!
Great food and great service! The tacos I had were awesome. My meal hit the spot after 2 hours on the road. I’m very happy to support the local businesses in Collinsville!
I had the Fiesta meal which consists of one of each: taco, tosada, tamale, enchilada and a chili reano.
