Always down to try a restaurant that has such good reviews. Went on. Sunday afternoon and it got…read morecrowded quickly. Ambiance: Inside it feels a little crowded with the table I sat at close to the door and the checkout counter. There is more space in the back. Service: The service was good, replacing the chips and ensuring the water was refilled. Food: The chips and salsa were good. The chips are not too salty and the salsa is mild. The queso is one of the best I've had with a light consistency. For an entree I had beef nachos which were ok but I prefer more queso. Parking: There is plenty of parking. I'll definitely be back to try another menu item.

Making our way from Omaha to Oswego and decided that we wanted to have a quick lunch…read more Cancun is conveniently only 3 or so minutes off of I80. We seated ourselves and were greeted and served in a timely manner. After being served we were checked on a few times but once our plates were empty, we waited a bit before getting the check. For such low lunch prices, it cost us only a little more than if we would have eaten fast-food. Another plus of the location is that we were able to top off our tanks at the gas station that shares a parking lot with the restaurant.

Shrimp ceviche had a lot of celery... a LOT! The tamale was good and was surprised that it didn't have sauce but it didn't need it. The masa was very moist with a good balance of chicken/masa. That orange sauce is HOT and I never think something is that hot. Wow!

The atmosphere was divine, with great music and bright decor. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long to receive our order!!! The only qualm was simply service, we never were checked in on and there was maybe 2 other tables at the time. Was just a long wait to see seen in between and when asking to fix our food that came out wrong, or for a glass of water...it was many reminders.. I never received my water.

Tamale is spirit open and full of shredded beef and ground beef. Sauce on the tamale is just red sauce. Carnita tacos were good but didn't have a great deal of flavor. I do love the chicken taco. That is the best thing I ordered. Rice and beans are average. Husband likes the chorizo and chicken dishes. Salsa is just average normal salsa. Had something new, chicken Diablo and it was spicey!!!!! it!

The very last time I ate there, I got super sick in the middle of the night. Vomiting and diarrhea at the same time! I had the La Villa special and the mushrooms looked off and the steak did too. I ate a few bites and threw the rest away. I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Spend your money somewhere else.

Taco Tuesday specials so I was able to get 2 fully loaded delicious tacos for $7. The meal included a few bites of potatoes and onions (just enough) and a small basket of chips. Great deal and good food. Only one note: they do not have any free items to drink. Bottled water is available for purchase.

We were seated right away and ordered a pitcher of Skinny Margaritas. They were VERY tasty, well-prepared, and a good accompniament to our chips and salsa. They bring out both mild and spicier salsa, and of course there are options for guac and cheese sauce. For dinner we got a variety of dishes. Two of the group shared a bowl and it was enough for them with leftovers. I got the Loco Burrito, and it was easily 2 meals for me. Others got tacos and shrimp, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Service was excellent, and the staff worked together to keep things moving right along! I believe this is an old Golden Corral Building, so there is a lot of seating, and a bar right when you walk in the door. Great food and drink!!
