Bad to mediocre food with crazy prices. I viewed the menu posted on here for prices since they're no where online and they're way higher than what's listed there, so it must be outdated. We got the 3 tacos and tampiquena and it ended up being $40! (Thought it was 9.99 for the tacos and 13.99 for tampiquena.) As many people posted on here, there is no receipt or explanation on how they got to that price. We didn't get any drinks or additions. No utensils or napkins given with a to-go order either.
Rice was really strange - it was actually sweet. Salsa tasted sweet as well, like it was just tomato sauce. They somehow weren't sweet in the same way though. Ordered steak tacos and they came American style (despite wanting cilantro and onion) and were completely unseasoned and dried out - they didn't even add salt or pepper. The corn tortillas tasted like wheat. Incredibly disappointing.
The tampiquena was actually pretty good - it was seasoned and came with nicely sauteed veggies. The refried beans we liked as well, they were seasoned with plenty of cumin.
If this town had other options, there's no way this place would be open. I'll drive a few minutes west to get something decent for a much better price.

If you are looking for a traditional diner this is the place. Nothing fancy but a good selection and according to the door open at 5:00am

Forest IL is a very small town. I was stuck here for truck load delivery. I walked about 0.6 and saw this beautiful small restaurant. I have enjoyed here chicken taco ?, which was so good and delicious ?.

Small hole in the wall restaurant. Locals seem to love it. 6 or 7 came in to pick up orders. I had the burger it was good plus fresh hot fries. The place needs some updating or just some paint. Also a waitress that understands English. Had to place our order 2 times.

Had breakfast at 2pm 2 eggs over easy hashbrowns and bacon was all freshly made unlike alot of the saronding restaurants that served bacon and hashbrowns that have been sitting on the grill for hours.

the food was very good and tasty the only downside to the entire place was that the only downside of the entire place was the bathrooms they were they were a little bit on the dirty side but definitely not that dirty and they were really pretty good but the food was amazing good portions and decent prices my mom had the skillet it came with I think four eggs hash browns gravy and sausage and it was really good portion and rye bread and then I got the bacon cheeseburger which was delicious was a special definitely recommend to go there wonderful place we stopped by there on our way through town when we were going home and we loved it
Went here looking for a small, locally owned family diner. Good diner vibe. Waitress couldn't have been more apathetic. I really hate to say that. Her attention was on everything but our order and our service. The fried mushroom portion was generous but left in the fryer too long. My open face pork tenderloin was also left in the fryer too long. It had the consistency and appearance of a large thick potato chip. The meat was crunchy. Not supposed to be like that. Waitress brought my wife's meal out at least 5 minutes before mine. Disappointed.

I took a visiting family member there for breakfast. We seated ourselves and a waitress came and brought menus. We needed a few minutes to look them over. There were 3 women at the front counter talking and one was so loud we couldn't even have a conversation between us and this continued after we ordered our food. I come close to just walking out but finally she went to the back. I will never go back as long as the loud person is working there. The food was good and was a good portion but man oh man I did not enjoy the place at all.
