Our favorite Mexican restaurant in St. Charles. Don't know why anyone goes to the ones that put the exact same sauce over the exact same meat and just call it enchiladas, burritos, etc. We love the pork and it is always tender, never fatty, and has been slow cooking in the sauce. Delicious.

We came into the restaurant as first timers. We sat at the bar to watch tv, the staff was very friendly and attentive, even let us change the channel on the tv! They were very busy but all keep smiles and worked very well together. I got the enchiladas and they were so good with their red sauce! I enjoyed... More

The service was okay, the waiter was nice but got someones drink wrong. The frozen margarita was not blended well enough, it couldn't be drank through the straw. I don't even think there was any tequila in the other margarita, couldn't taste it at all. The food wasn't that great, I've had much better. Menu isn't very big, not much... More

I think that this restaurant is a little over-rated. I agree that the salsa and chips are excellent (deserving of the "5" rating); the chile relleno was also excellent ("4" or "5"). The rest of the meal, however, were mediocre (burrito; tortillas; rice & beans; "salad"). Service was decent; ambience was satisfactory; prices were cheap.

This is the only Mexican Restaurant that I will go to. If you like your salsa hotter--just ask--they have another kind for us "hot" salsa eaters. The food is plentiful--you'll probably be taking some home. They will sell chips and salsa to go!!

Nothiner to write home about...typical Mexican food. The food was slightly above average, however the drinks left much to be desired. Not much alcohol, and not blended well at all. Large chuncks of ice in a frozen drink...couldn't drink it with a straw. Guacamole was not something I would feed a dog.

This is the only place I have ever seen jalepeno fajitas on the menu, and it is amazing. They also serve Nopales (cactus) which is my friend's favorite. It is a family owned business, and we have become familiar with the staff, who are very nice. I also think their chile relleno is the best and they stuff it with... More
