My husband and I drive over from Galesburg(15-20 mins) for the best Mexican you can get. We love this place. Aurora and family always stop to say hi and have a chat with us. The queso I thunk is house made and AMAZING. Tried places in Galesburg and they just don't compete. If you want Mexican, come here. I always get the supremo fajita nachos that come with steak, chicken, and shrimp and almost always need 2 boxes to bring my food home.

This is ABSOLUTELY one of our favorites and we are there at least once a week! Real authentic Mexican, with a unique variety. Everything is so FRESH! Great drinks and Aurora and crew are THE BEST!Vegetarian options: They are also very flexible about changing things up for you.

A hidden jewel in Monmouth, off the beaten path you have to plan to go there. As it is not on a main street you'll need to search for it, once you do you'll be glad you did. The menu is very extensive, the drinks and the food are top notch. We travel quite a way to go there sure wish it was closer. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Best Mexican food in Monmouth. Have eaten MANY things off of their menu and not one has ever disappointed. Honestly, not only the food but the staff are wonderful people. If you would like great food, El Navigante will not disappoint.

I came upon this place and placed an order for a rib eye steak with shrimp.The waitress was excellent, but the food was not.When she saw that I only consumed the shrimp, she asked for only 16 dollars, and I gave her a 5 tip. Money wasn't an issue. When I left, the manager slammed on my car window and told me to return the food immediately if I dont like it the next time I visited the location and used a racist term that I will not mentioned. I assume the owner is unaware of the poor customer service skills this so-called manager demonstrates. If you don't want a slum experience, avoid this place. The woman wearing shorts is the manager that her car.
