The food is excellent, had the barbacoa enchiladas I will be dreaming about them in the future. They were that good! Hubby had the steak tacos and said they were good and filling. There is an option to get a $5 marg with a lunch entree, ok twist my arm 🙃. Service was great. The only dad part for me was chips and salsa are not complimentary, but hey they saved me calories and more room for the enchiladas!!!
We will 100% be coming back here when we visit Illinois again. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered the sheet pan nachos, the Colorado enchiladas and the steak tacos. We waited 10 minutes maximum for our food and our appetizer was served almost immediately. The staff is incredible, our server was Teresa, she was really nice and so fast you won’t even realize she refilled your drink. I highly recommend coming here.
Good but not great. Menu was a little underwealming.
