Maybe they'll go back to the old ways soon or maybe they're just making too much money this way so they don't want to.. I used to go there once or twice every week I don't know how often I'll go now but the food is really good.

During lunch it gets crowded quick with town folks, MSAE and MUM students trying to avoid horrible food from school so get here for lunch asap. You have two options to eat which are the all you can eat or to go. All you can eat is 8.50 or to go is dependent on the weight of how much food you put in the to go box. Food there is excellent and has that authentic Mexican taste. I especially love their beans and rice. Enchiladas and potatoes are also great. Throw in some guacamole and sour cream, your perfect. I used to eat meat here but I felt iffy afterwards but that's just my personal taste, so now I eat vegetarian here. The Guys who work here are nice and friendly, will help you the best you can. Pros + Good food for good price Cons - Not enough seating so it can get crowded with no where to sit

They've made upgrades to their menu and I think that their food options are getting better each time we return. We've also tried their Som Burger which is tasty and their Birria Tacos -- good but could use a little more seasoning. Overall, we love The Som and highly recommend them!

I was so happy I stopped in this place for food. The food was awesome we had chicken chimichanga, veg quesadilla, chicken taco & pineapple cake. Every piece was delicious. The food was the least expensive i have ever had and portion was huge. Chimichanga was insanely huge. Call him for an order of tresleches, it is a bliss. Only thing to remember carry cash. No cards accepted. Chef knows English so ask him anything in English :)

Following a quick trip to a wedding in Muscatine, IA, we returned to St Louis and stopped in…read moreColumbus Junction to look for a Mexican restaurant where we had eaten nearly 20 years ago. That restaurant is apparently long gone, but we found Santa Ana Bakery instead. This was a happy eventuality! This is a very small Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant that we can highly recommend. The food is simply comida casera (home cookin'). I get the feel that they would fix whatever you like within reason. They have a huge menu listed on the wall, so I asked for the owner's recommendations. I always like to ask in small places like this, knowing that they can't possibly have everything always ready and fresh. I assume they will recommend what they feel is best that day. He offered fresh chicken mole and pork in a sauce. I don't normally go for mole due to the sweetness, so I ordered guisado de puerco and Ms T ordered tacos de carne asada (sin cebolla, of course). My pork was simple, elegant and delicious. The sauce was dark in color, rich in flavor, with some tomatillo and a hint of oregano. The slices of pork were tender and smothered in the sauce. I sopped the sauce up with soft corn tortillas and when I finished there was really no need to wash the plate. Ms T frowns on my actually licking the plate in public, so I had to do the job with tortillas, which worked out pretty well. Ms T's tacos de carne asada were served properly with plenty of meat on soft corn tortillas and cilantro. The meat was diced fairly fine, nicely seasoned and had a great flavor of the comal. We each had a frijoles pintos which were very basic frijoles de la olla, partly pureed and served thin in their broth. As simple as it gets, but good. I must mention the salsas served with the basket of totopos at the beginning. These were 100% delicious and homemade with the unique touch of la Senora in each. We debated asking to purchase some to take home, but due to warm weather and no cooler, decided not to risk it. One salsa was green, made from minced raw tomatillo with enough jalapeno to give it nice heat. The second was deep red with ground red chile and chipotle. It was rich and spicy with very fresh garlic. The third was almost orange in color, with nice heat, more garlic and delicious fresh chile flavor. All were good, all were nicely spicy. In addition the totopos were clearly fried from real tortillas, on the premises. This is four star food in a five star place. It is quaint, with a bar you can belly up to and enjoy your food on a stool or eat at one of three tables. I'm sure they offer carry-out. Don't forget this is also a bakery and they had an assortment of cookies and pan dulce on display. The owner was friendly and helpful. He appreciated that we were not just there for some ground beef burritos. Now our challenge is to figure out an excuse to be there at lunch time so we can explore the menu more. I wished afterwards I had also ordered the mole to try. They are open seven days a week and serve breakfast! I'm thinking of moving closer. Just have to figure out how to convince Ms T.

Tried for the first time tonight, never going back…read more Called to order 10 minutes before they were open, they answered and told us they didn't open until 5. Hung up. We were already in the area so drove there and at 5 minutes to 5 they turned on their open sign and I went in to order. They said they already had a few orders ahead of mine that had called in... I ordered a bacon pizza, half with pineapple to go. The quality was just very subpar. The bacon was funky tasting. The cheese tasted kind of gross. The crust was bland and not good. Also it was cut in tiny squares and by the time I got home the pieces just didn't come apart and was a mess to eat. Not worth the price. I would choose Mia pizza over them.

We ordered two appetizers and the three of us each ordered an entree. That's the end of the good experience. Three tables who came after us got their appetizers first. After an hour and ten minutes our entrees came and one appetizer came at the same time. After five minutes with our entrees and one appetizer we told the waitress to just forget about the second appetizer. The entrees we ordered were a tenderloin, a Chicago style hot dog, and a grilled cheese. That is what took over an hour to get to us. The food was fine, not great, not bad, but the service was terrible. The restaurant itself isn't very large but has very high ceilings. The walls and floors are all hard materials, therefore the noise is so loud you have to shout to be heard by the people you are sitting with. We will not be returning any time soon if ever.
