    I really like this place. It was mid afternoon and I came down to the hospital for an appointment…read more They always say dont eat anything in case we have to do some test or another. So i was fairly hungry but didnt want to do Burger King or MCd. The atmosphere here is great. There are murals on the wall that totally make you feel like you are in Mexico. Not sure if it is where the place is situated or what but I dont feel like I am in fort madison at all. I have worked in FTM for a couple decades so a little change of pace is nice. Some mexican music playing but not too loud. Again just really nice. Overall the tables were clean and bathrooms nice and clean to. Well done. I kind of cheaped out and got the taco with beans and rice. Before i ordered i got chips and salsa which i think is part of any meal, and if that is canned salsa I want to know where I can get some, otherwise I think this is made on site. Either way it was great. I thought maybe I should have gotten a bigger meal but the taco with the beans and rice plus chips was perfectly filling. Next time i might go for something bigger. Service start to finish was phenomenal. Quick to get a seat, get food, and get the check. There was a family of people at a decent size table and what I think are probably regulars who 'know' in several booths. And at 330pm? Nobody else is putting asses in seats at that time of day. I am glad that I 'know' now. I will be going back whenever I am in the area. I noticed the manager who was very nice was handling sizeable orders over the phone while taking care of everyone. I think there is a following out there for this place. Price for what I had was well worth it. Pancheros Burlington, take some notes!!

    Well deserved 4 stars. I don't know how many Mexican restaurants are in Ft Madison Iowa but I know…read moreof two. The portions were perfect and the food came out fast; it wasn't busy. The wait staff was friendly. The tests was clean and I liked the music that was playing. We'll be back

    I came to Macomb for an event and asked the hotel clerk for suggestions for a non-chain restaurant…read more Los Charros was the first one he suggested, and I was in the mood for Mexican, so no other suggestions were needed. There are two locations in town, and I went to the one on East Jackson Street. I was immediately seated in a booth. Water and chips arrived before I could open the menu. The chips were excellent, and the salsa was quite good, though surprisingly oregano-forward (I'm pretty sure that was the flavor). It's like they replaced the cilantro with oregano. Unusual, but tasty. I ordered the Alambres dinner, and this massive plate of food instantly appeared. I don't know what kind of magic they have going on in the kitchen, but I've never seen dinner arrive that fast. Delicious rice (perfectly cooked and seasoned), a nice pile of lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, etc. But the star of the plate: lots of shrimp, thin strips of steak and chicken, sauteed yellow/red bell peppers and onions, smothered in a cheese sauce. All very tasty, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The cheese sauce was a little thin for me, but that's a very minor issue with this impressive plate of food (it was so much food that I ended up finishing it later that night in my hotel room - still good). The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was fast and good, and the price was ridiculously low.

    From Chicago, just got back from Guadalajara, and wanted to try LC while visiting my mom in Macomb…read more Here are my thoughts: --If you want authentic Mexican in Macomb, this is your spot! --Service was very good and friendly. --The restaurant looks average sized from the outside, but it's pretty big and busy all Sunday night : ) --My wife ordered the chilaquiles with chicken and they were good. --I ordered the beef tacos, also good. --The chips and salsa were good, but the red salsa was exquisite! Highly recommended!! Last thing I expected was excellent Mexican food in Macomb, IL : )
