“We were pleasantly surprised with this place!!!! Not having high expectations being from out of town. The service was very friendly, quick service, clean establishment. And food was freshly made and crispy. We had a kids burger with fries, cheesesteak with cheese curds, and road house sandwich with waffle fries and cheese sauce. As well as fried walleye to share. The only thing I could recommend was adding something spicy like a salsa to the road house sandwich.“

“I'm a truck driver and had to make a stop at Walmart, which is in the same plaza. Saw the restaurant lights from across the parking lot. They had a good amount of cars parked in front for it to be the middle of the week. Decided to walk over, and as soon as I walked in, someone greeted me at the door. The inside decor looked very authentic and the people inside looked like they were enjoying themselves. I was seated immediately and the waiter came right over to take my order. The food was very good and filling. I had to take a to-go plate.“

“My family loves this little place. It's a small, family-run taqueria on the east end of Decatur off of Eldorado and 22nd Street. We like to stop in for a quick dinner of 20 tacos to take home or eat in for the entire menu. Their torta are light and delicious. My boss love their chorizo and al pastor in any dish, and I like their chicken tacos and torta.“

From the tangy zest of their tacos to the hearty embrace of their burritos, every bite is a 'Hola!' from Mexico.And the atmosphere? It's the cherry on top of this fiesta sundae. You don't just walk in, you're transported - somewhere between the heart of Mexico and your happiest food memories.In short, Mi Lindo Tizapan is not just a meal, it's a journey - a delicious, laugh-out-loud journey that your taste buds will thank you for.

“For our large group, after the soccer ⚽️ tournament, they handled our group with ease and smiles on their faces. The service was very good, and we paid with one check to make it go smoother. The chips and salsa were very tasty and asked for seconds. Our food arrived in a timely manner with everything hot and just as we ordered. The food was very good, and the menu had all the ingredients that were included in that dish. I had the taco salad that had a homemade taco shell that was so tasty, and I would recommend that and order that again ? ?!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu ? ? ?!! Try it you'll like it!!“

Street Tacos

“Best tacos I've ever had! Their red(hot) sauce is by far the best in town. The corn tortillas are magical. Marcos has really changed my mind of Mexican cuisine. I used to go to any restaurant and just order papa nachos and call it a day, but the Mexican steak street tacos changed my life forever. I ate there nearly everyday last year for lunch, and found myself lost when he closed the truck down last year for winter. I wandered out and tried to find tacos this good, but was unable to find anything close. I only wish I could get them for breakfast.“

“I had some kind of quesadilla with pineapple, chicken, cheese & bacon. Best quesadilla I've ever had in my life. I came from Texas so I doubt I'll ever make it back to eat it again & im sad about that. Margaritas are pretty bomb as well. The cheese sauce (queso) was pretty darn delicious as well.“

“So we moved here from Texas a few months ago, and to say it's been a struggle to find somewhat decent Mexican food anywhere in the midwest is an understatement.This place is good! And by good I mean the best we've found so far, which means stellar in comparison to the other options in town that we have tried. Not the best Mexican food we've had (again, we are from Texas and were used to just good Mexican food EVERYWHERE), but we have been back several times and this is our go to place to scratch that neverending itch for Mexican food.We've tried several things off the menu and haven't been disappointed yet! Solid choice for Mexican chow.“
