Food has no flavor. I ordered the 2 piece combo. Steak taco, chicken enchilada, rice and beans. I had to add alot of salt and pepper.

The service was amazing unfortunately food just isn't good.

The staff is very friendly and we didn't had to wait because we seated at the bar but took a while for somebody to take our order, the food was really bad, I ordered a Tampiqueña and it had a weird taste, the rice and beans were not good at all, you can tell they use canned beans, my friend had chesse enchiladas and said those were the worst he ever had, we won't go back and we don't recommend this place.

We went here today because my daughter really wanted Mexican food after enjoying Scarecrow Fest. My brother looked this place up, so we decided to give it a try. We did not get any alcoholic drinks so I can’t comment on their bar selections. We started with the complimentary salsa and ordered the chili con queso. The salsa was good, and the queso was excellent. But when the meals came, I was less than impressed. I ordered the a burrito that was basically just meat and beans and was topped with cheese. When I asked for hot sauce, my options were Tabasco and Cholula. (Spelling that wrong). Most “authentic” Mexican restaurants have their signature hot sauces so I was surprised they did not. My daughter got the steak tacos and she said she enjoyed them. My other daughter got a steak burrito, that she said, “Hit the spot” We ordered the flan for dessert which was okay. I would say this is a subpar Mexican restaurant. You can tell it has a following, but I wonder if these people have ever been elsewhere. That being said, the service was excellent! Our server was very attentive with drink refills and asking how everything was, and the atmosphere was fun! I would go back and sit at the bar, maybe have a couple margaritas and an appetizer or two, but I don’t think I’d eat a meal here again.

A colorful Mexican restaurant in downtown St Charles serves up quality food. I had the shrimp quesadillas, a first for me. I never thought shrimp and cheese to be compatible. I was wrong as usual. The combo was delicious, especially when you throw in sauteed mushrooms and onions. My wife had the steak quesadilla and it was just as good. Bar menu was extensive. Service was friendly. If you're going to the Arcada theatre across the street this is a good pre concert option.

Worst “burrito” ever. Asked for a veggie burrito (as most restaurants do it) and specifically said, beans, rice, sour cream, tomatoes and avocado. What even is this? Ordered other burritos and it was just as bad.

Absolutely disgusting burrito never seen a burrito. Look like this from any Mexican restaurant. All the owner needs to do is go to another Mexican place look at what their burrito looks like and copy that and they wouldn’t get this.

Terrible food, chips were stale, the salsa was like spaghetti sauce, I love Mexican food but now realized it could be royally messed up. Please avoid this place, my partner fell sick eating their chicken.

Not sure what happened but I came back and was quite disappointed. The drinks were still very good though. Service was wonderful, so I hate writting this. My fajitas had zero flavor, the shrimp was not cleaned.The enchiladas de mole, had way too much chocolate flavor to them.Sadly I will not be returning.

We’ve been to your restaurant many times, we stopped in on Friday the 22nd, we ordered 2 steak tacos each and a margarita, I did not enjoy my margarita and instead ordered a coke, there was something about the taste that was off and I usually have 2. the steak seemed very dry and was served on just 1 tortilla. Even though I did not drink the margarita I was charged for it, and it’s why I deducted half of the cost from my tip…. Another thing, charging 3% for using credit cards is ridiculous. We will think twice about coming to your establishment in the future.
