My Hidden Gem in E-Ville…read more This spot is hands down the best place for non-traditional tacos I've ever had. Everything is packed with flavor and just pure comfort food. My all-time favorites are the steak tacos and the crispy fish tacos. The steak is perfectly marinated, and the crispy fish is always served hot and crunchy with an amazing coconut curry twist. The flavors are so unique but always hit the spot. Super friendly and welcoming staff!

The food quality is always consistent, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. This time, I felt for our server, as he was running constantly didn't seem to have much down time. Our Mom sent her steak back, as it was a little overcooked, so she couldn't chew it easily with her dentures. The new steak came out right away and was perfect. When I was paying the bill, our server was chatting with my sister, he seemed genuinely delighted that she spoke Spanish, and thanked her multiple times for being so kind when she sent the steak back (gotta wonder how other people treat him when sending something back). Mom got a steak, and asked for fries instead of rice and beans, which they accommodated no problem, as well as a small margarita, as she really enjoys them there. Sister got a taco salad with chicken. I got a taco salad with ground beef and Dos Equis Amber. My older son got fajitas. My younger son got a cheese quesadilla. Everything was good. And we went in a little early to beat the dinner rush. The place was packed by the time we left.

Lets start with the good. They have strong to go Margheritas, that are not expensive. If I want a…read moredrink to go to enjoy at home this is the spot. The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately that was the good. I often can even tell if this place is open or not, I think it's closed much of the time when I drive by. The food was. Well I am just going to say it. It was very bland. Their solution for bland food is.....cheese sauce. Not vegetable, not spices, just more sauce. I don't want to drag this place, but the food was not good. I'll leave it at that.

I would be shocked if there's anyone who has lived in Collinsville for more than five years that…read morecannot say that Burt's chuckwagon isn't a hallmark of the town, as much as the ketchup bottle! I lived here in the late 90s and remember when it was on the corner of Clay Street, and I was drugged in by a couple of friends from high school, saying that they had the best food, I'm such a picky eater, and I didn't think I would be able to find anything at a place called chuckwagon, that I'd be willing to eat... oh, but I was wrong! They have something for every pallet and the food is all amazing! When I move back 14 years ago and saw it was no longer on the corner of Clay Street in 159, I literally felt a pain in my heart and I lived here for over a year before I mentioned to someone else how I was upset that Bert's was no longer around and how I couldn't believe it shut down, just to find out it hadn't, they had just moved a main street!! I was there with him 48 hours and oh my goodness how I had missed the awesome that is the Chuckwagon! Whenever I am asked what we should do for dinner by people who are in town visiting and they can't make up their mind on what cuisine they want, I tell him we're going to Bert's Chuckwagon, watch them, wrinkled their nose, tell them too late. I've made up my mind and that's where we're taking them and I get them there and I watch their eyes widen, as they try the food! Bert's is the best open secret Collinsville has to offer and if ever you find yourself, not sure where you wanna eat or have guests in town who can't decide between Italian/Mexican/chinese or just a good old burger, make the executive decision and tell them you're taking them to Bert's. Make sure that you emphasize the chuckwagon, watch their faces as they come to terms with what you just said and try and talk you out of it, but stay firm, stay quiet about what they're getting ready to walk into, and take them to Bert's!

One of our favorite places in Collinsville! We have been going here since their last location…read morewhich I loved but the newer location is way bigger and more convenient. We are always greeted by someone quickly and service is always outstanding! I'm obsessed with their super tacos but that's because I prefer a flour Shell. If you like a corn shell better stick with the regular size. I didn't get one this trip but their mini pulled pork sandwiches are also a great choice! Prices are reasonable and whatever they do to their soda it's the perfect mix With the "sonic" ice!

This trip I got their shrimp nachos which were loaded and delicious! My husband got a shrimp burrito, which he also enjoyed. We also ordered their boardwalk cookies (which are deep-fried Oreos with a caramel sauce and powdered sugar on top) so yummy! The good thing is since you can create your own creation, you can also customize your food to be vegan or dairy-free etc. Service was quick. There are a couple of tvs usually showing people performing extreme sports. There are a few booths and a few small tables inside.

I had a 2 meat platter, pulled pork & shrimp with mac & cheese & baked beans, wife had wings. To say were impressed in an understatement, the food was fresh, which that early we weren't expecting fresh but hoping for it since most BBQ places at that hour serve yesterday's leftovers warmed in a microwave but NOT HERE! The staff was welcoming and patient while explaining the menu to us. Service was just as good as the food, it seemed everyone was in a good mood and that goes straight back to management. They're doing it right! Good Job Everybody Wiz & Nini Thompson Six Shooter Karaoke

Consistently good food. Not what I ordered this time, but the brisket tacos are exceptional. We…read moreusually get the 3-meat platter that comes with two sides and bread and butter. The burnt ends were the star of the show, so juicy! My brisket was a tad dry. They also put the sauce in the fridge so it's cold, but there might not be a way to avoid that food-safety wise. Their wings are also really good. The mac-n-cheese side is good. You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring your food out to you. The only other thing I don't love is there's two rooms, the main room and a room off to the side, and especially if you are in the side room, it feels like you are crammed in there with a ton of other people and sometimes it gets really loud. When it's nice enough, we prefer to sit outside as they have a few picnic benches off to the side that are covered.
