The food is OK. Asada Relleno was good and the steak was medium as ordered. But the rice seemed to be a bit tasteless. Salsa at the table did not seem to be fresh. Chimichanga with steak was fine. Alex taco was not as tasty as advertised. The menu did not have as many options as other mexican restaurants in town. There were no sea food (except for the fish taco).

Look no further for a top-tier Mexican dining experience in town, as this restaurant truly stands out among the rest. It goes above and beyond, offering bountiful servings that will leave you more than satisfied. The exceptional service provided by the staff elevates the experience even further. Our waiter was not only friendly but also took the time to provide detailed descriptions of each dish, ensuring we made informed choices. The fish taco and chimichanga were absolute standouts, showcasing incredible flavors that delighted our taste buds. The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation truly shone through in every bite. Overall, this Mexican restaurant deserves high praise for its outstanding quality, from the warm and attentive service to the remarkable flavors that define each dish. Make sure to visit and savor the culinary delights it has to offer!

I haven’t been here in awhile but we decided to come by tonight for an early dinner. The Alex Tacos are the usual specialty here and they are indeed good. The grilled onions have a lot of flavor. The salsa for the tacos has jalapeño and avocado and balances the seasoned ground pork well. I also think they make a killer carnitas that comes out sizzling still. The tacos Mexicanos were also delicious and full of flavor. I’ll be putting this back into the regular rotation. The carnitas stand up with most places I go on the west coast.

The best taco place in town. Chips are amazing and come out in just minutes after you order. Service is impeccable and I’ve never had a bad experience. Warning: Do not sit outside on the right side the whole way down because there is a bird nest and you can pooped on. Other than that great place.

Excellent spot for great Mexican food. The prices are fair and portions are large. I highly recommend their Thursday special of $2 off the Conquistador combo. Friendly staff and a thorough menu as well makes this my favorite Mexican restaurant in Champaign.

This used to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants but the last several times I have been there the service was not great and the quality of the food wasn’t good. I hope they can improve because this used to be one of my favorite places to go!
