Reptiles are all captive bred (to my knowledge). This is extremely important.Many small pet shops sell wild-caught reptiles for which there is a high chance of developing infections, including parasites, which sicken the already physically stressed critters.There is also the concern of habitat destruction. Over 50% of chameleon species are native to Madagascar which is currently 80% deforested.Check out YouTube videos of local kids gathering them straight out of the trees.

Excellent food, pricing, and service. Where can you go nowadays at a sit down that's not fast food and get a $4.50 burger! The carne asada plate was excellent. The tinga taco was excellent and the huarache, as told to me, was also great!Their chips though was the star ⭐. Fluffy, crunchy, lightly salted. Delish!

This place has fantastic food and service. I have recently had dental surgery and can eat only soft foods. I was able to eat the rice and beans and tried two types of soup. The chicken soup was fabulous and the seafood soup was very good. I could not eat shrimp and asked for just fish and they gave me a lot of fish. Atmosphere is not a priority at this restaurant but food and service more than makes up for the lack of ambiance. Highly recommend!! ?

This is our favorite place in Elgin for Mexican food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don’t let the “Dairy Cream” bldg fool you. Food is delicious, service is awesome, and prices are still affordable. Family owned and operated. If you want to get a table for breakfast on Saturday or Sunday without a 10-15 minute wait, get there before 8:30. Support our local small businesses!

Staffing is always super friendly and you can see the cooks in the kitchen working hard to get orders out asap. Food is reasonably priced and always has the same homemade taste which is why we come here regularly. Family and kid friendly too!
