Excellent food and drinks and service. Server Jazlynn said she was new, she still provided superb service. Owners Juan Carlos and Victoria were there and checked in on us. Long time server Armando even checked on us. Go there!!!
The food was good and it was fast enough. The service was Ok and well, I would honestly come here again.
Monserrat is my fav server!! Also, the tacos with the aujus are the best!! Have had the breakfast as well. You really can't go wrong with anything!
Great food. Unusual selections. Friendly service. Diverse clientele. Guac was fabulous. Salsa great. Chips looked homemade. Big menu.
Just went because it was close to my hotel but even if not would be worth a drive. Great fish tacos, excellent service and Modelo Negra on draft.
Great Mexican food in the area. Have tried a few different dishes and all have been good. Pork is usually the best!
Amazing Mexican food. Handmade items! The service is great too!! Came down for work from Chicago and food is amazing. Have not found a good Mexican plan in central Illinois or in other midwestern states so definitely 10/10!!
Friendly! Fast! Fantastic! Three factors that make this joint a big contender for our Springfield flavourite stops. Had a delicious drink while waiting for fast and delicious takeaways. I ordered the al pastor machete, and Miss Stevie loved the aroma. Took our meal to Marine Point for a sunset dog date!
