Headed to Michigan and stopped in Paxton to find some food. Found this little gem and thought we would try it. Haven’t had Mexican food in a little while. Tony greeted us and was very grand informative. Got chips and medium salsa ( which we love ). The chips and salsa here are awesome. Got a chicken quesadilla with beans and two flour tacos with the works. Absolutely loved the tacos!!!! Authentic food for sure. Thank you Tony for your hospitality and to your mom who does an amazing job of cooking. Will keep this place in mind next time we are driving through.

I just want to say Thank You so much for catering, yet another year! It helped make the holiday season go so smoothly. I appreciate everything you and your staff did to ensure our dinner was a success. Not only was the food fantastic, I overheard several guests raving about the meat and tamales! We know a lot of work goes into making evenings like ours a success-- please pass on our thanks to everyone involved!

Delicious food served by a friendly, attentive wait staff. We've been here several times and have always enjoyed the casual atmosphere and excellent, authentic food. Reasonable prices too!

Neat little place. I had the steak torta sandwich which was good, it was something a bit different from normal Mexican fare., but I felt like it was missing something. Margarita was just ok.

Stayed in Paxton for one night and tried this place to take back to the hotel. First the place was very nice and clean. Second, the staff was wonderful! Very kind, friendly, and appreciated the business. Third, the food was very good and authentic, a welcome change from highway fast food.

Server was great. Lots of inspiring stories to tell. I like learning about people I met when I'm traveling. I live it West, so I am spoiled in excellent Mexican quisine. While this was very tasty, and the family that runs out is authentic, I think they have had to adjust to the tested buds of eastern Illinois diners. The quisine was fabulous.

Once again, the tacos did not disappoint very good and flavorful. I still don't know which I like better the flour or corn tacos. One of these days, I'm going to try something different, but for now, I'm hooked on the tacos. Service was also spot on and yes I'd go back.

Really delicious food and an interesting variety of entrees. Something for everyone. Reasonable prices, great service. Chef/owner raises the bar for Mexican food -- made-from-scratch & fresh & tasty.
