Fantastic food. Excellent interior with tons of space and seating. Food is on higher price range for Mexican in this area. But very high quality and delicious. Good service and great chips and salsa.

No liquor license yet. I believe the waiter said they would have it at the beginning of June. The restaurant is huge so obviously can handle large parties and probably will never have a wait because it is enormous inside. The menu was large, varied and had many authentic Mexican dishes. The chicken Veracruz that I had was delicious. I hope to visit there again soon and try something else because it looked like they had many many delicious offerings. Had flan for dessert and it was the largest serving of flan I’ve ever gotten in a Mexican restaurant and it was also delicious. The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Very unsatisfied ordered a shredded beef chimi and a chicken taco salad. Chimi meat wasn’t shredded and full of fat. Rice had corn mixed in it. Only ate 2 bites but still had to pay the 29.00 bill. Won’t go back.

For those who prefer short reviews — get the street tacos/traditional style and maybe nothing else….

Ordered take out tonight & once I got home I realized the cheese dip was only half full. The guacamole was brown & tortillas for the fajitas were super greasy. This was my 3rd time trying them & all 3 attempts weren’t great. The atmosphere is cute but the food is small quantities & bland.

Simply the best Mexican joint in town, I don’t wanna hear otherwise. The owners and staff are lovely, the dishes are affordable and substantial, and the tallest man in SoIll deserves the biggest tip you can muster. Check out their grocer too, great stuff there.

The food was good, but the server didn’t seem to interested. She only came by 4 times, the 4th was to drop off the check. The food was good, love the chips and salsa! Would recommend coming, everyone has a bad day.

This place DOES NOT SERVE ALCOHOL. Reviews mentioning that they do are false. Photos are from another restaurant. I assume this is to attract people to the restaurant, who they hope when they find out they have no alcohol will stay. That’s what happened to us and I’ll never return for the dishonest business practice.
