    Carne asada taco
    Cecilia O.

    We were greeted by friendly faces. The ambiance was super cool, I love the colors and the music. The food was good and the chips and salsa were tasty not spicy at all. I had a carne asada taco and the corn bread in queso. The taco was decent not bad good flavor.. The corn bread had good flavor but too much queso on the bottom. I would prefer it on the side. It's still a great spot and I would be back.

    Ramen posole...def won't get again
    Sarah O.

    We had stopped by after my nieces winter musical performance at school. The ramen posole sounded interesting but was a complete bust. Nothing about it made me ever want to order it again. Maybe the posole on its own might be slightly better but even then. Nothing about it left anything to be desired. Everyone else's food looked okay. The waitress we had forgot to put in my husbands order so she brought out complimentary guacamole for the mishap. Nothing about our visit screamed omg we have to return! Which was unfortunate because we had friends who enjoyed it a couple years ago when they came out to visit. But just didn't do anything for us.

    Close to the house , thought it would be a good bet. But..... I was wrong. Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos is what i ordered. Very mediocre at best. Asked for jalapeños, was brought out on the side. Charged $1.00 for each Taco. I have never been charged for Jalapeños at any other Mexican Restaurant I have been to. The Margaritas were very mediocre also. Service was good and the bar help was friendly. The restaurant was cool looking . Many Mexican restaurants to choose from here in Peoria area. I will choose another one other than this one next time I am in town

    Barbacoa enchilada with Christmas sauce, double black beans
    Stephanie V.

    We had a great late dinner last night after a long day of work and errands after work. We saw a sign out front saying this was voted best Mexican food in the area and decided to give it a try. We had the sweetest waitress and she even brought us a bowl of her favorite salsa, the green pineapple habanero, along with the traditional complementary salsa that they serve with chips. I loved both the traditional salsa and this interesting sweet and spicy salsa. We ordered: - #7 ONE BARBACOA ENCHILADA, TWO TACOS (BAJA STYLE PESCADO, BARBACOA) I chose a double serving of black beans instead of pinto beans and rice. The fish taco was really good. Choose if you'd like a grilled or fried. I chose grilled. I'd come back and get this again. The Barbacoa was OK. I did eat both the taco and enchilada and some of the beans. Maybe a little salty but really hit the spot. - FAJITAS SERVED W/ SPANISH RICE Y BEANS Y FLOUR TORTILLAS CARNE ASADA. Hubs said it was pretty good and ate everything. - BAJA STYLE PESCADO GRILLED OR FRIED WHITE FISH, CABBAGE, CHIPOTLE AIOLI, CILANTRO. Hubs also really liked this. He got his fish fried while I got mine grilled. There are lots of tables and booths divided into three sections inside the restaurant, plus a bar area. When we were there on Monday night, they had Monday night football on with the volume up and a lot of football fans were in there, enjoying the game. Men's and women's restroom located inside for customers

    Quality and taste of their food was very good. Their neapple salsa was unique and very flavorful. I had also their green chili and that was also delightful. Nice casual restaurant, great for groups. Service was amazing and friendly staff.

    Street tacos. 3 for $15. Mediocre at best and can find better street tacos for cheaper.
    Cyril N.

    Carne asada fries were their saving grace. Crispy fries, well seasoned and tasty carne with plenty of toppings. Street tacos were mediocre at best. At $5 a pop, that's pretty overpriced - the value is just not there at this premium price point. I will not be coming back for their street tacos. Will stick to my more authentic Mexican spots for $3 per taco that are more generously portioned. Free chips and salsa was nice but should be the standard. Salsa was tasty with roasted flavors and chips came out warm. Side of rice and beans were enough for my toddler; they are definitely trying to cut costs with smaller portions. The premium price point is paying for the dining experience, but if the experience is nothing special, then I'm not going to be happy about paying the premium price tag and then tipping for the service as well. Might as well go to a fast casual spot for cheaper/better/more generously portioned food without having to pay for the server's wage and being waited on. Service was standard and ambiance was okay for an Americanized Mexican joint. Might come back for the carne asada fries but overall nothing spectacular. Plenty of room for improvements.

    What are your vegan options?

    So, Double check with the server But chips, salsa, guacamole - minus cheese… 

    Do they do large orders for just rice and beans for 15-20 people?

    Yes..and the food is the best I have ever had. I ordered the enchilada and taco combo. I could barely eat it all.

We made plans to check it out, and since that first visit I've probably been back three times -- and every single experience has been wonderful. If you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs cook right in front of you while the bartenders make your drinks, which is such a fun experience. The cocktails are amazing, and the staff always has great recommendations if you're not sure what to order. But the FOOD is a whole other story. Everything I've tried here has been incredible. I genuinely don't think I've ordered a single thing that I didn't love. The atmosphere might be one of my favorite parts, though. It has this beautiful, expensive, upscale feeling without actually being ridiculously expensive. It's so nice to have something like this on the West Side where you can get dressed up and have a nice birthday dinner or date night and feel like you're somewhere special without the price tag being completely crazy. The staff is amazing, the service has consistently been great, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is incredible. After multiple visits, I can confidently say this has become one of my favorite spots and easily one of the best places in Peoria. I absolutely love it here and will continue coming back!

It's a little moody w/ dim lighting and has a cool throwback feel to another era. My bestie & I ordered Old Fashioneds. They were good, although they were a bit on the light-pour side.

The gentleman spinning vinyl for the evening had an amazing playlist. Each song seemed better than the one before. Overall, it was a fun atmosphere, great music, and a really enjoyable night out!

A small downside was that the bar tables are pretty tiny, and the chairs don't have hooks to hang a purse, which made things feel a little cramped. I ordered the Spicy Creamy Ramen, and it was delicious! I'm not someone who enjoys extremely spicy food, but the spice level was just right enough heat without overpowering the flavors. The ramen noodles are thick and have a great chewy texture. My partner ordered the Chicken Chashu, which he also enjoyed, but his favorite part was the Old Fashioned. He's already talking about coming back just for another one! The only thing I'd recommend improving is how the ramen bowls are served. Because they're so hot, our server had to place his thumb inside the rim of the bowl to carry it, and I noticed his thumb accidentally touched the hard-boiled egg in my partner's ramen. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it wasn't very sanitary. Finding a different way to handle the bowls would make the dining experience even better. Overall, the food was excellent, and we'd definitely come back.
