Great little hole in the wall place to stop off the interstate. The service was fast and restaurant was clean. The margaritas were strong! Between the regular and mango flavored on rocks, try the mango- delicious. Biggest burrito I have ever seen, son in law could not finish it. I had shrimp salad and size was generous. Love it. read more

Good food. Plentiful takeout for the price. Friendly staff and great service. Place is nice and pretty packed to capacity but looks like safety precautions are in place during this covid time. Would recommend to give it a try. The beef fajita dinner for two is delicious. read more

Great staff and service. Fiesta Bowl!!! Fajitas!! Great food, made to order fresh! Margaritas are good too!

Very nice staff. Food was typical Mexican fare. Salsa was a little weak if you want it hot. I had a steak Tampico and it was good. Very attentive to our drinks and place was super clean. Had NCAA tourney on tv. I would eat here again! read more

I went to the restaurant for many years simply out of convenience with my family, until one day when me and my sister where on a club field trip of about 6 kids. My sister is completely blind and very obviously so, the guy at the register took 20 extra dollars than what he was supposed to from her and tried to shoo my sister and her aid off. We still have not gotten the money back and the food doesn't taste good anyways so I refuse to go back. read more

We have eaten here many times. Food is good and service is always exceptional. The salsa can be a little unpredictable, sometimes it will be very good, other times it's a bit too spicy and then other times there's almost no flavor. I'm also not a fan of their chips. I like a thicker tortilla chip, hence why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Super friendly staff and the food was fantastic!!! The portions are ample and the prices are very reasonable. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Great place to stop in on our road trip across the country, great parking available with a uhaul!!! Don't miss on on home cooked food with a chill ambiance read more

Great service! If you're out hiking for a whole day and need something simple, good and filling, this is your spot. The pork tacos were good and the margaritas are strong. Not your michelin star resto spot but keep an open mind since this is a place in the middle of Southern IL. read more

We stumbled upon this place after exploring southern IL. Our server was incredibly friendly and was very attentive to us. The portion sizes are enough for three meals and the food was great! Our food was prepared quickly as well. Wish this place was closer to us but we'll be sure to visit on our next trip down. read more

El Tequila - Chicken fajita with the extra toppings (to the right) the other entree was the California burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Illinois

Very friendly staff. Burrito Pirata was delicious! Provided chips and salsa even with to go order.

We are traveling from Louisiana to Chicago and this was the closest to our hotel. Website states they close at 10pm, we got there about 5 minutes ago to find out they are closing. Opened the door, walked in, guy sweeping doesn't say anything until I ask if they are open. Then he responds we are closing. WTH, are you serious?! Really, update your website and train your employees to provide satisfactory customer service! read more

Horrible food. Horrible service. Food was served ice cold. The waiter never checked back. Staff was very rude. VERY poor customer service.

This place is great! Fajitas, Fiesta Bowl and Margaritas were all very good. Hard to believe such a good Mexican restaurant in the middle of Shawnee National Forest but it's the real deal. Great food and friendly staff, highly recommend this place. read more

This place deserves a shout-out considering the location (in a small strip mall in So. Illinois next to a gun store) and the type of food they are serving (mexican). It's in a small town in the middle of nowhere but has some very flavorful good mexican food. I had the mushroom quesadillas and my husband had a combo platter. The food wasn't very greasy. The flour tortillas were grilled to a yummy crispiness that I enjoy at my most favorite spots around Chicago. The food was very good and worth a shot. A huge surprise! read more

First time visit. Typical Mexican style place. They are all the same. This was a little better in service and execution. Good was well prepared and not greasy. Even the salsa had flavor! Worth a shot. read more

What a great little find! This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we've ever eaten! Pico De Gallo is out of this world and everything was hot and fresh! Great service and very affordable! If you're traveling in Southern Illinois, stop by for lunch! read more

While I consider this more of a lunch place than dinner, I've always had a pleasant experience here. Prompt friendly service and good food.
