“Very quaint & peaceful atmosphere. Reccomended by the wonderful Team Members from Quality Inn. Ordered several tacos, elote and a Horchata to go. Food was amazing, customer service stellar. Eat at a local family own resturant when you can rather than a chain. Thank You La Choza!“

“Good food always, kind service, I always use the drive-thru. If I could make one suggestion it would be that there's a little bit more care with the presentation of the food sometimes like with the Mexican pizza the toppings are not on the top. And sometimes with the burrito supreme the sour cream is on one end and not distributed through the whole length of the burrito. Other than that my favorite Quick Stop fast food place.“

No worries. She was still awesome.The food was definitely on point, i had enough food for two people. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and stocked.A good place to bring your family for many different types of food..“

Pedro’s Cantina Sports Bar & Grill Bar & Grill • $$
205 Bear River Dr, Evanston

“I absolutely love this Mexican restaurant and sports bar! The food is incredibly tasty, with fresh ingredients that make each dish a delight. The beer on tap is also top-notch and adds to the enjoyable atmosphere. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making your visit even more pleasant. Inside, you’ll find convenient amenities like an ATM and casino automat machines, providing entertainment options. There are also dartboards and billiards to keep you entertained. Plus, the prices are very budget-friendly. One extra perk I love is that they also provide a snack when you order a beer. I’m genuinely excited about this place; it’s a fantastic spot for a great meal, a fun time, and a little extra treat with your drinks!“

“I knew this place was legit upon walking in. The ambience was authentic Mexican (not what I expected, as a SoCal native passing through). The chips were fresh, the drinks were healthy, and although I didn't verify I'm sure the tortillas were made on site as well. The food hits the spot, hard.If you're like me, tired from hours over the road, and won't be hitting it until the next morning, have a drink and some great food here. You won't be disappointed.“
