    Enchiladas with three exclamation points.
    Brent B.

    New restaurants sometime bring out the curious side of hungry people. Such was the case when my daughter and grandson got a craving for Mexican cuisine recently. Having been doing business in Springfield for a couple of years,we naturally noticed when this new place was built and opened recently. Early reviews were so good that many reported eating here days in a row! Such was the quality and variety of items. My daughter beat me to be first to taste the dishes. But...she remembered to bring me a tantalizing taste of what's in store there! I received two enchiladas to go. This review is based upon my personal experience with that dish. And what an introduction! Flavor-filled and tasting like it came from a caring kitchen, these were the best of my Mexican food experience, one that dates back to 1976, and includes having tasted this cuisine in Mexico as we as all over the US. These enchiladas, although to go, arrived hot, beautiful and beautiful. The cheese was not average but full flavored an with strands that pulled like taffy when you brought a piece to your mouth. The beef gravy was thick and rich, pooled around the enchiladas just so. I believe the corn tortillas forming them tasted close to home made. I didn't taste the salsa myself but was told it too, was different and unique and tasted as if it too was house prepared. Soon, I'll go for a far greater immersion in menu items as this newcomer deserves close examination by all who love well prepared Mexican food items. You'll have many to choose from!

    I was in the mood for Mexican food and thought that I would try this new place out! I decided to order takeout and when I arrived my food was ready! The inside is small but they have tables and a full bar. I was helped immediately and given my food quickly. The queso was good! The fajitas was a mixture of shrimp, steak and chicken and it did not have that much flavor. It was just a little flavorless. The beans, rice, pico de gallo, lettuce and sour cream were good. I may come in and try another dish or eat at the restaurant to have a better experience.

    Delicious drinks made here!

    Where the food and service is is wonderful! Today I had lunch at El Ximador. Ordered the steak fajitas because they are alway so delicious. Dined with some friends and everyone raved about the blended lime Margaritas. Perfecto & good times!

    This was our first visit since this location opened. Outstanding! When we drove up it was packed and debated on even trying due to the thought of a long wait time. Thankfully we did go in! We were seated immediately. They took our drink orders and brought out a fresh basket of chips, piping hot and incredibly yummy. As we waited I was incredibly impressed by the efficiency of the staff. There was almost zero wait time in between tables as they were bussed immediately. I was incredibly excited to see they had lengua tacos on the menu! They were super flavorful and tender. I'm so happy I finally have a place to get my lengua fix!!! My husband ordered the beef fajitas which were honestly pretty epic! I'm excited to try other items as we all agreed we will be regular customers.

    Food quality and drink quality was great. Food service was a little slow but that is also due to how popular this restaurant already is even though it just opened. The staff was friendly and the decor is exactly what you would expect from authentic Mexican.

    Delicious

    They have a great food and service. They also don't water down their drinks so that's a plus.

    Small restaurant with great food and fantastic flavors…read more We were traveling and decided that we needed to stop for dinner, so we saw the great reviews for lost buenos and we gave you a try. Only about eight tables inside and they also have grocery items, including fruit and vegetables, candies, and baked goods. At first, we were gonna get get our items to go, but when we realized it would probably be hard to eat in the car so we stayed and had a wonderful meal. Did you really want to hear about the food: Salsa - fresh, mild kick, I would consider it more on that chunky side than the smooth side. Salsa - very thin, some more on the smooth side, but very tasty. Cucumber Pinapple Drink - refreshing, with a hint of the pineapple sweetness. Really delicious, and served in a small picture which threw me at first, but then I realized everybody else had them, and they were drinking through a straw. Problem solved. Tamarind Drink - not quite as refreshing as the cucumber, but the drink was good with that hint of tamarin flavor.. Burritto - serve with your choice of meat, it was enough to feed two people, two very large people. It also comes with fresh, cucumber and radishes, which was a really nice touch. We got ours with chicken and peach with our choice.. We decided to get a couple of the baked goods to go, so maybe I'll update my review after we give those a try in the morning. Great little fine. I think you'll enjoy it.

    Was looking for someplace to have tacos on our way back from New Jersey and this one was so highly…read morerated. I forgot that when we came up we had dinner here! So I was glad this time to have lunch. We had tostadas: carne asada, el pastor, chorizo, and pork belly. All delicious and piled high!
