We had a large group and the restaurant was a little busy. It took them awhile to get drink orders and were slow to get chips and salsa out. That did improve but was a slow start.When I ordered I explained that I couldn't eat meat and asked if my food could be cooked on a clean grill or pan away from meat. Our server said yes that they could do that. Unfortunately, my vegetarian taco salad had a large piece of chicken in it and I did not eat eat it.It was a waste of food. The taco salad looked good other then all the oil that ran out of it when I first cracked a piece off the side. That is also when I found the chicken. They did offer to remake and asked if there was anything they could do. I have no trust in the kitchen when this happens and I usually not eat. It's such a big waste of food and I hated to see them throw it in the bin.Everyone liked their food. My wife really enjoyed her vegetarian chimichanga. She's not concerned as much about meat as I am. She would just pick it out if she found it. She did not have that issue though and said it was one of the best Mexican dishes she's had at a restaurant. My kids both got chicken on the beach and said it was okay.Our server worked hard and you could tell he felt bad about the meat. They did a nice job with the large group after the slow start. We were able to make it back to the arena for the basketball game in plenty of time.Vegan and vegetarians should no that their food is not cooked separately from mean. It's a shame because the have some nice vegetable options like broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. I would not recommend this place of you don't eat meat.Vegetarian options: Vegetables for vegetarian dishes are cooked on the same grill and a high chance of cross contamination or even meat in your vegetarian dish. This seems to be how most Mexican restaurants treat vegetarians and is unacceptable. Please don't have a vegetarian section on your menu if you can't prepare those dishes properly.

As travellers through IL, we love to stop here for mexican food as quick as (and much better than) fast food. Easy off and on I-55. Service is fast and friendly, atmosphere is fun, and the food is fabulous. We have standard favorites we come back for, but I'm confident I'd love most of their food!Dietary restrictions: Many entrees are keto (low carb) or diabetic friendly. Order some of their meat entrees without tortillas, and you'll still get enough food.

Stopped in to buy a tub of salsa to take home. The salsa was as good as it always is, but the price doubled since the last time I was in. $17 for a pint of salsa? I feel that I was overcharged. We won't be back.

The drink in the terracotta pot is a Cantaritos. I don't see it listed on the menu. It's refreshing and not overly sweet. The one in the background is a small frozen mango margarita. The Arroz Con Pollo (grilled chicken, peppers, and onions) on a bed of rice topped with cheese is always our go-to dish.

Excellent food as always...We got there just before lunch rush so the service was a little backed up however our server was very attentive. All our dishes were perfectly made and correct. You don't go home hungry, very large portions free chips and salsa as well.

This is the only review I've ever written for a restaurant, and most likely will be the only one I ever write. This is the only restaurant I have ever felt compelled to give a review. I will not speak for the other restaurants, but I will speak about the one on JC Parkway. To start, you walk in and seat yourself, anywhere you want. I much prefer this because my GF and I are not great in highly populated instances, so we sat alone in our own little corner. The food however, was phenomenal. I have never had better Mexican food in my life besides my GF's cooking. The food was just amazing, my GF thought the same of hers'. The price at least for the lunch menu was very reasonable, at the end we only spent $30 without the tip included. The steak ranchero, highly recommend if (like me) you don't quite know what to get. The portion for what I got was very good (had to take the rest home). The only note I have was the "atmosphere" was kind of "meh" at least IMO. But I feel during dinner time the place may change into something more lively. The service was good and the food came out extremely quickly compared to the usual service you would get at a different sit down restaurant. I can't rave about the food enough. The best Mexican I've ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommend. 4/5 shaboingaboings.
Always a good time with good food and
