Long-standing favorite for hearty meal of “comfort food” and great service. Servers have always been attentive, friendly, and helpful in our experience. Julissa really gave us smiles today with her can-do attitude, even when busy during the lunch rush.

My boyfriend and I come here often! Excellent food and excellent service! We always feel so welcomed and we’re always given the same table or general area of said table which is really nice 🙂 Oh! And we absolutely love their warm salasa. It’s easily my favorite salsa of any restaurant we’ve tried.

I got the puente enchiladas and they were really good. My friend got steak and it was ok. We also got ceviche and guacamole for the appetizers and they were good. Salsas were ok and we got two palomas which were delicious. Our waitresses was really polite and friendly and we liked the decor. It was not busy when we went which is a plus for us.

The WORST Mexican restaurant I’ve ever eaten at!!!! ordered a chicken burrito. I asked what came in the burrito and she didn’t know. She came back and said beans and chicken. Then said you can add on and I thought okay great. I told her what we wanted and all was fine. When the burrito came it had 2 pieces of sliced cheese on top, it was full of mushrooms and onions with no chicken.. the burrito looked like dirty towel served with old puke smelling cheese. Margs are Pre made as well. Usually I don’t post reviews but this is the worst Mexican place I’ve ever eaten in my life.

The food and drinks are quite good but this restaurant is now charging an additional percentage to your bill if you don’t pay in cash. If you pay with cash, the server keeps the additional percentage you were charged. They never come back to the table. You have to flag them down and ask for your money back and they look at you like you’re crazy to make this request. This has happened multiple times with different servers. Is this even legal??

Nice Mexican restaurant in town of Saint Charles. Good food and service at a price you can afford. Close to theater making it a nice place to eat before the show.

I’d been to this restaurant multiple times. Everytime I get half stale chips and flat soda. Perhaps they need to upgrade their machines. The margaritas, rice and beans are good, but other than that the food is O.K for the price you pay. The chimangas don’t have the red sausage and cheese that goes on top which was disappointing. The cheese enchiladas are good, and the carne asada was not bad. You get a red spicy salsa and a non spicy. The none spicy taste like tomato sauce. Would probably not come back or recommend unless they make a drastic change.

Beware of eating here and look at your receipts! There are signs all over stating that if you pay n cash you get an **immediate** discount if you pay in cash, but if you pay by card it’s a 3.5% upcharge.

My husband and I come here fairly frequently. The food is really solid and consistent. The free chips come with two sauces, one is somewhat adjacent to tomato soup but I am obsessed with it! The meat for the entrees is very lean and tender. Staff are attentive to food allergies. We also rarely have to wait since they have so many tables, so it’s a great option when other nearby restaurants have 60-90 minute waits.
