Stopped in for a plate of huevos y bistec and a couple beers after getting off an Amtrak. Joliet had been stormwracked and this was one of the few places open. The food was good and the chicas were lovely. I'll bet the place really gets going at night!

ROUTE 66 perfect for lunch or dinner, clean and healthy food, well worth it. We stopped by chance and the Mexican food pleasantly surprised us. For getting away from pizzas, hamburgers and American food, it's very good.
