“Will gladly support Chava’s over other big name burrito/burrito bowl chains. The food here is always super hot and fresh. The employees are quick and friendly. The regular burrito is just the right size with all the toppings to your liking!“

“Our lunch today at Sunrise was amazing !!! I was lucky enough to get the last piece of Mira’s own Shepherds Pie & it was delicious & such a generous piece ; I was able to take home enough for a repeat . Hubby was in-gastronomic heaven with his sausages, scramble eggs & REAL HOME-FRIES , grilled to perfection with onions & followed by raisin toast . It is ALWAYS a treat here at Sunrise Cafe & the service , staff & Mira’s home baked tarts , apple fritters & pies make this a MUST EXPERIENCE. PS: Their Fresh homemade soup is to die for .“

“Great atmosphere. Food was wonderful, fast service. Great place to take family.“

“Delicious food. Friendly and Clean atmosphere. The staff is very attentive.“

“Overall, it's pretty good, but there are a few issues: 1) It calls itself Evansville's first taqueria, but that's a flat lie. El Paisano's was here for years (200 block of N. Green River Rd - now 300 block with the dedicated restaurant building). 2) The "Chicago Dog" isn't even close to being a "Chicago Dog" - by miles. I have a pet peeve about restaurants naming foods that aren't actually the foods they're serving and this is one of the most egregious I've seen. It may be a good dog, but it is flatly NOT a Chicago Dog. 3) The "dressed" burger is anemic, at best. The burger itself is not bad, but the stuff on it is . . . weak. I've seen better dressed burgers at McDonalds. 4) The staff *barely* understands English. I wouldn't care if they spoke only Spanish - it's not an America uber Alles thing. But if they're going to do business with Americans they should be at least minimally fluent (or maybe have a point-and-grunt board for common things). They're friendly enough, but L-rd, they're not capable of much at all in English. It's like day one in an ESL class in there (I know - I've taught them before). The chili nachos are amazing. I've tried the "Mexican Fries" which were a hot mess of slop but edible and different. I've had a very large quesadilla there that was good. I tried their "Mexican Hot Dog" (apparently "Mexican" means "smothered in mayonnaise" - both the fries and the hot dog were and that was about the only thing they had in common). I'm working my way through the menu, slowly, and the negatives definitely outweigh positives, but the place is far from perfect. Not being able to correctly spell "chili" was a little odd. At some point you'd think they'd just run their menu through Google Translate or something to spell check it.“

“Great food, kid friendly, pretty decor, large portions and amazing staff!“

“Great atmosphere. Food was wonderful, fast service. Great place to take family.“

“One of the best restaurants in Evansville, period.“

“Great atmosphere. Food was wonderful, fast service. Great place to take family.“

“My favorite place to get Mexican cuisine in Evansville!!! The staff are so fantastic and always greet us in such a friendly manner!! They treat us like old friends. Love their lunch special deal, chicken fajitas are amazing. 🌮💚“

“Great food, outstanding service!!!“

“This was my 2nd trip to get the brisket bowl. The 1st time it was utterly amazing. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is bc when I went 2nd time, which was last night, everything was cold. It was still good and flavorful but wanted my cheese to at least melt. My guy had the barbacoa and it was very yummy too. Will definitely go again.“

“Everything was fine till I got to pay. The older lady like other reviewers have called her, was at the register. One of the employees called her Boss Lady, that might be the case, she gave me the lowest amount of chips I have ever got at this location. I guess she is saving money this way, but if I don’t come back, what did she gain. That is the reason for 4 stars, every thing else was good!“

“I went here a few weeks ago and I was wanting a taco salad without the lettuces but I wanted peppers and the veggies like with the Fajitos. The manager there was so nice in helping me get what I wanted and she wasn't rude about me being so picky on my order.“

“It was lush. People were super nice. I enjoyed it!“

“great service and food!! AMAZING SPECIALS TOO:)))“

“Some of the best food and people you will ever come across.“

“Great place to eat. Pretty comparable to Chipotle. Will have to say, i like the food here better. The food had a bit more flavor and taste. Enjoyed the dine in experience. Will also say the the food is worth the price you pay. Will be dining here again.“

“I've been a patron of Hacienda on First Avenue in Evansville IN for43 years! This restaurant is as close to authentic Mexican cuisine in Evansville, in my opinion.
The only reason for the 4-star rating for the atmosphere is that I prefer smaller or cozy dining areas. Being older in age, dining with families with children is difficult for my husband and I to have a conversation.
We usually start our meal with a fountain drink and chili con queso. The chips are thin and lightly salted. They are sturdy enough for the cheese dip, however. They offer two sizes of dip, a cup, or a bowl. This is nice based on what your entree will be.
We are creatures of habit with regard to our meal choices, but we always look at the wide variety of appetizers, salads, and entrées. Hacienda offers new menu items often, which our daughter enjoys trying. She has never been dissaentrée.
I highly recommend this restaurant on First Avenue as well as the east side location

Wheelchair accessibility: The spacing of the doors will accommodate standard wheelchairs. Neither location needs ramps.“

“We have been Hacienda customers for many years! There’s not much better than a strawberry margarita, chips and ranch dip. A special thanks to Jay (Green River Road)…the best server in town!“

“Love grabbing lunch here. Manager Heather is awesome and service is friendly and fast!“

“My husband and I both ordered the moe meat,moe cheese bowl. We added olives, onion and sour cream. The food was delicious. The staff was all very friendly and even with people in front of us there was really no waiting. They get you threw to the next person to add the next ingredients. Bowels are served with their chips. They also have a little bar of salsas and sauces by the drink and condiments area. The sweet tea wasnt to good though. It was sweet but had a funny taste to it.“

“😊 Hot Head Burritos is my new favorite place to eat! Their food is great and fresh. The staff is so kind and friendly. I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“The staff did amazing work, they were all happy while they worked. You could tell it had been a long day but they all had genuine smiles. That’s hard to find.

The food was great. Everything cooked well.

The restaurant was clean.
The part with all the food was spotless which I don’t even see that at subway where the food isn’t that messy. Great work! 😊

I made a review about this place, not too long ago in which I gave firm but constructive criticism as well as praise for what was done really well.

Not long after this, I was informed that I was no longer welcome to eat at this restaurant.

Considering I used to work at this location, I can understand why some might consider me to be lashing out. But if lashing out was truly the objective writing, a bad review would hardly make an impact as a large percentage of the reviews I’m seeing on Google maps are not positive
Lashing out was not at all the intent.
You can check this profile if you so choose, I make reviews.
I’ve done so for quite a while long before I started working at Chipotle and I will continue to do so now that it’s almost been a year since I’ve worked there.

I believe the ban placed on me was based on a misjudge of character, and considering I know the person that put the band on me also at least somewhat knew me. I find it somewhat insulting. They would think I would stoop that low. If this finds you, I do hope you reconsider.“

“(Translated by Google) I visited the place and it was a very special excellent service the girls are very friendly and very rich food the very special menu we enjoyed very well very good service(Original)Yo visite el lugar y fue un servicio muy especial excelente las chicas son muy amables y muy rrica comida el menú muy especial disfrutamos muy bien muy buen servicio“

“We are visiting family in Evansville and decided to have breakfast at The Diner by Mel’s. We love to patronize restaurants that are not part of big national chains, and this restaurant is cute and friendly. I asked for the vegetarian omelette to be made with egg whites which they did, and it was very good. We both liked our meals, and we were impressed by the very friendly and welcoming staff. We will definitely be back during our visit, and if we lived in Evansville , it would be one of our regular places.“

“Great Food! Nice Variety!“

“Wonderful empanadas!!!!! Im not a slaw person but that slaw was so light and seasoning was awesome!! The next morning i fried it with a half scrambled egg and didnt need any extra seasoning!!!“

“Server was friendly and efficient. Restaurant was clean and appealing. Food was TOP NOTCH!!!!“
