This place has my favorite Mexican food in town. I come here often. I have to order some particular things and they always get the order right and the food is FAST! I've had nothing but great service and enjoy the fact that TVs are not blaring nor is the music. It's a great place to grab lunch or dinner with someone and have an actual conversation.
September 2024
Great variety of options, plus friendly service. A nice place to go with family.

Parking: Parking is right in front of the building; there's plenty of parking to accommodate the building capacity.

Kid-friendliness: Simple options such as soft tacos or cheese quesadillas would probably satisfy most kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is located on the first floor. No steps required to enter.

There are several Mexican Restaurants in Bloomington but this is my favorite. This one is always my first choice. The food is excellent, and the staff is very friendly. I love the salsa here!
