We went there for their brunch. They had a nice variety of food. Make your own tacos and tostadas with chicken or meat, and the fixings , tamales, quesadillas , flats, chicken wings , tamales, marinated chicken, rice and beans. Bistec, and some desserts like fruit. They also had pistachio salad with pineapple and walnuts . It honestly is the best I've ever had. The portions in the salad are perfect. We met the owner who is so nice and respectable. He checks all the food daily to ensure its quality. The staff is attentive and friendly. What a great experience. Delicious food and friendly staff. read more

Better than expected at this Mexican restaurant in LaSalle. Fajitas isn't the most authentic place, but it's much more than the fast food chains obviously. It has a few unique things such as a buffet, which is something not usually seen in Mexican restaurants. Has alcoholic beverages like margaritas of course. There's typical favorites like fajitas obviously, as well as traditional items like tamales. At lunch is the best time to come. It's when they have the buffet with many favorite items. There's also a regular menu to order from at other times. For sure there's alcoholic beverages. It's about $11 for a margarita. They have a few flavors including the classic lime as well as mango and pineapple. It's about $13.50 for the lunch buffet. This has a few sections including the salsa bar as well as the bigger line. Get all the toppings possible including guacamole, jalapeños, and salsa just to name a few. The main section has corn and flour tortillas as well as tortilla chips, and lots of filling choices including beans, meats, and potatoes. Certainly it's best to come for the lunch buffet. It's located on Third Street at Lafayette. They're closed Sundays, which is the only bad thing about it, where the buffet is served weekdays and Saturdays. read more

The food is great especially the buffet and has a lot of variety. The new place is very roomy with nice seats.

THIS PLACE!!! Authentic fresh made Mexican food made on site by Pablo, our favorite chef! Their buffet CANNOT BE BEAT!!! Every day is something different to keep you coming back again and again! My wife and I dine there once a week, and would more often if we could! What other Mexican food restaurant offers a BUFFET?!!! The buffet is open from 11am til 3 pm and is a HUGE bang for your buck. I cannot say enough good things about the restaurant, the food, and especially the staff! Fajitas in LaSalle Illinois is a MUST even if you have to travel a bit to get here!! read more

Never been to a restaurant where they skimp on food and charge 18$ for a plate that has like 6-8 pieces of chicken in their fajitas, they need to stop being so cheap.Nina's is the best restaurant/grocery store for lot cheaper,better quality,and lots of left overs to take home! read more

This used to be one of my favorite places. The lengua tacos were amazing. Notice the past tense. Prices have gone ridiculously high. I still have hope for the lunch buffet. That is always good, but I'm done ordering off the menu. $10 for a measly amount of American cheese & chorizo. I can make it at home. It's not THAT special! Update: just recently thought I would try them again because I've always loved their lengua better than the only other 2 places I can get it in the area. I paid $28 for 4 tacos simply because I asked for extra cilantro & onions. If anywhere were to charge for something like that in my personal opinion it's so cheap it's nearly free I would assume maybe .25 - .50 a taco. They charged me a dollar for each! Not together, each extra onion on a taco & each extra cilantro on a taco. I get that extra can be extra but when it's something that is so extremely cheap to purchase in the first place (yes, even for a restaurant) I CANNOT believe they would tack on such a high fee! Without telling me to boot or I would not have ordered it! Just want to make sure everyone knows they're nickel & diming to the extreme. read more

Fajitas Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - La Salle, Illinois

Great food and very friendly service. Family friendly! We had birria quesadillas and tacos with orchata!

Alexes was our server and did an outstanding job, hence the five star review. Really good personality and was on top of things. Her bright personality made my mom smile. We had a nice meal of a bunch of a la carts items. We also ordered a takeout order of two enchiladas with steak. The interior is old school, looks like it is straight out of a 70s movie but I love it! Nothing fancy. There was a big lunch buffet table right when you enter the front doors and a bar to the right. The dining area is a bit dark and the music is festive. I like simple Mexican food, and this is certainly authentic. I inhaled the Wisconsin cheese enchilada with the delicious queso sauce smothered on top. I should have ordered two. I also got a shrimp taco and a bean tostada with guacamole. The tostada was a bit underwhelming but might have been my fault as I didn't ask specifically for any toppings. The taco was really good. Mom liked her beef tacos - yay. The bathroom is also very clean (bonus!). Parking is very convenient along the front of the building. Great place for a quick meal! read more

The food here is excellent. I came yesterday with my parents and fiancé for the buffet and we loved all the food. The buffet is a little on the smaller side but the food was delicious. My favorite was probably the shredded chicken, baked chicken and guacamole. I'm almost positive the guacamole was homemade. At least it tasted homemade. The buffet is around $12 and the workers were friendly. I would definitely come back. read more

Fajitas Mexican Restaurant - Cool table and don't forget the Little House on a Prairie on the TV! - Mexican Near Me - La Salle, Illinois

Good authentic food, ambiance and friendly service, the Barri quesadillas are delicious .

We went last week and we're so disappointed. Let me start off by saying we have been regular customers for about 10+ years. I have left messages with the owner regarding our problem and have had no response. When we went my husband ordered the skirt steak. He asked me after he was about half done if the steak in my burrito tasted normal and it did. Close to him being done I noticed something different about the steak, it was a cube steak!!! How do you pass off a cube steak for skirt steak?!? The owner was not there and I have tried to get ahold of her. So here we paid 17.00 for a meal that wasn't even right. Sorry Fajitas, you really disappointed us! read more

oh my gosh!!! they have tamales that are definitely homemade. so tasty i cant wait to eat another one! im still sitting in the restaurant while i write this and i cant wait to come back already! im sold!! the waiter and atmosphere were just right. thank you! read more

Delicious buffet options. The tamales were on point; not too dry. The carnitas and chile rellenos were bomb. My boys loved trying new things. The spicy house salsa was also amazing. Definitely will be back when I'm in town. Service was great too! read more

Walked into this place around 130pm to order take out and have a couple beers. No one was around. I seen the cook and asked if anyone was working. He shrugged his shoulders. For 15 minutes, I was in the bar waiting for someone to serve me. Or at least see someone. The place was dead. Not one customer. The buffet looked terrible, I could only imagine how long that food was sitting out. I decided to leave. If I was a thief, I could have robbed that bar blind. read more

Love these type of places! Felt like a great local place and the decor was old style and cozy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Steak Fajitas and she ordered a tamale.

The Tamale was very good as well. If you are hungry for some good Mexican food, this is a great place! read more

This place is soooo good but just kind of pricey. I love the queso dip with chorizo, it's to die for!

The food is okay. My order was the burrito dinner , the burrito was cold and too salty. The food didn't taste as authentic as some other restaurants around. read more

Have been there 2 times and both times were very good food and service. Will be going back and making it our go to Mexican Restaurant!

If you can go to a Mexican restaurant and the refried beans taste good than you my friend have a good Mexican restaurant.. (I posted pictures of what I had, sorry I didn't enter my thoughts in my pics) I had a large margarita(actually 3), I had a plate with Linga as the meat and tamales.! Most authentic Mexican restaurants serve "Menudo" only on weekends and this restaurant was the same.. The reason being is Menudo is served as a meal for hangovers.. So, the food was awesome.! The drinks awesome.! They offered me desert, I opted for another margarita, for desert.! These are skinny margaritas, right.? (Lol, jk) I'll be back here, no doubt.! I'd recommend this to friends, no doubt.! I'd bring family also, of course.! Thanks for the Mexican music also, very nice.! read more

We were visiting from out of town and had a taste for Mexican food; we found this restaurant on Google and decided to come because of the great reviews. Dined in on a Tuesday around 5:00pm. It was not crowded and we were promptly sat by the host. The service was great! Fast, friendly, and my glass was never empty (they serve Coke products with free refills). The food was excellent as well - some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted. The chips were served warm with hot and mild salsa, the server kept refilling them, and let us take the leftovers home. The prices were reasonable and there were a lot of good choices on the menu. My 1.5 year old was accommodated with a high chair, crayons, and a cup with a lid. We would definitely go again, especially for lunch. They advertise a lunch buffet Monday-Saturday. read more

Fajitas Mexican Restaurant - Make your own combination plate - American steak taco, pork tamale, and beef enchilada suiza with all rice. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - La Salle, Illinois

WOW...that's what I have to say about this Mexican restaurant! We came here on a Monday because everything in Utica and Oglesbee was pretty much closed. When I saw that a Mexican restaurant was open in LaSalle I was totally for it..... I love Mexican food and the reviews were really good. Our server was Melissa and she was fantastic!! I asked her what she would recommend and among other things she said fajitas. I had the steak and shrimp fajitas and they were fantastic!! It took a little longer then I would expect but it was totally worth it.....my husband had the steak tacos and he loved them. it's not much to look at from the outside or even the inside but it is definitely a great place to eat!! And FYI the margaritas were pretty darn good too!! So to summarize: I had one large margarita and one small margarita, my husband had a Coke. I had the Shrimp and Steak Fajitas and my husband had the Steak Tacos and the entire bill was $41.00.......YES $41.00!!!!! read more

Simply amazing! Was driving on the I-39 and wanted a legit place for dinner. Well, we found it! Ample parking. Met with a smile and a gracious hello as I walked in with my family. Seated promptly. The waiter was one of the best I've ever had. He anticipated our every need to include our children. He truly went above and beyond in meeting our needs. The food was absolutely just as good. We had the enchiladas and Alambre (with sides of Beans and Rice) with a number of margaritas (which were poured very well but not over the top). The Spicy Queso was delicious!! Highly recommend to everyone. Even if you're just driving through.... read more

Hands down best Mexican food in Illinois valley! I've had it all and have been eating here since I was 18 I'm now over 30. Watched them open buffet and just stole mini burritos til I was fat! They changed it and made it more sensible because they were giving away amazing food for practically free, now that they settled on price and what to stock it with there is still no better deal let alone better tasting option. I have tried them all! If I had to be 100% real maybe they get 4.9 of 5.0 cuz salsa and is huge and sometimes misses the mark and dang maybe 4.8 cuz guacamole has to be spruced up with cilantro tomatoes and onion. read more
