We had one young server that took everyone's orders and she rocked it on that. Now timing on things coming took a bit but not to be noted to fault her. The food was mediocre at best I had the el rancherito enchiladas. I cannot speak for everyone else. I wasn't too impressed with mine. I also had the "skinny" margarita and that wasn't cheap. I had my hopes high since my family comes here often. Parking does wrap around to the back. It's located near broadway and shopping center near by. Take away- my personal food was avg. our server A for dealing with my large family and how hard it was to hear.

I'm not from Mt. Vernon. This place was suggested so we checked it out. I'm a bit skeptical because…read moreMexican restaurants are hit or miss. The building looks like it was an old VFW on the outside. Inside they did a good job giving it a Mexican decor. Using paintings and other Mexican items. Our waitress was really friendly and attentive. Great service. I was rattling my ice because I like to suck it on. She came over immediately to make sure I didn't want more. She wasn't Mexican to my knowledge. She commented she needed to learn Spanish. My skeptical meter went up a bit. I saw the cook. Definitely Mexican. This isn't to say non-Mexicans can't prepare good Mexican food. Don't know why I put so much detail into that. The chips and salsa was decent. Got queso dip. It was good. I ordered the Tacos de Chorizo. I needed to know how good their chorizo is. I also ordered a tamale al a carte. Another important taste test. My tacos were good. The chorizo tasted just fine. My tamale was good. It was covered it mole and cheese. The masa was fantastic. Although, they serve chicken tamales. I prefer pork. I didn't have sides but I tasted the refried beans. Amazing! Most places refried beans are bland or taste funky. The rice was ok. Not the greatest. Though as by rating, I rate it really high. I don't make to town often but will come here again. I hope they are able to get more business. More people need to check it out!

She was very careful in the instructions and asked lots of questions which required our server to get further help. Hubby and I ordered the El Torito Enchilada dinner for 2, our daughter rice and beans with veggies, and our son ordered another dish. Our enchiladas came with queso chips and we all ordered drinks. Unfortunately, I found the enchilada meat seasoned too hot to eat; hubby ate one. Our daughter determined her meal was not to her specifications, none of us wanted doggy bags. The drinks were good, but three of the four of us experienced stomach upset that night. Prices were moderate but didn't look or taste like homemade.

One of the oddest cheeseburgers I can recall ever ordering. While I admire the chef's /…read morerestaurant's enthusiasm to do something exotic, here, it didn't work. It's about execution. The meat was quite odd, both in consistency and taste. If I had to guess, they took reject pieces from their steaks and ground them up, perhaps several days ago? You couldn't cut through it with a fork. It had a strange taste to it. It wasn't at a warm or hot temperature and tasted stale. The onions that they added were delicious, but way too minuscule in size and bulk to have any taste impact. The bun was ordinary, despite their raving and reliance on its quality, and it being a Kaiser roll. The burger lacked customary garnish. Why I order cheeseburgers at high end establishments? In part? I like the quality thick beefsteak tomato slice and crisp, fresh lettuce. Here? No garnish at all, just a patty with a little cheese and onion. If the patty was fresh black angus and juicy, without the weird consistency and taste present here, and had they lavished it with mountains of similar onion and more cheese? --The risky and odd approach to making a cheeseburger might have proven successful. For this cheese to suffice, it, too, would have needed to be more pungent in taste, and abundant in presence. You could barely taste it. The mashed potatoes were quite good but way too salty. I literally crunched down on some salt crystals. That's when you know there's inordinate salt. Weird service and rock hard chairs made this bizarre stop on the way to St. Louis/ Denver more painful to savor. What irritates me was that I had to order a Caesar salad just to obtain roughage. And when you take the $30 for the salad and burger combined into account? That's a lot for such an odd experience. In summary, anyone who watches and implements the Gordon Ramsay Fword cheeseburger recipe on YouTube will end up with a vastly superior cheeseburger. In this town, while I am visiting only, from what I've read and seen in reviews, I'd recommend instead the frosty mug for basic food along these lines. A $24 burger better be pretty darned special to attract this sort of tab. This was just weird, not great. Sorry, no photos.

The prime rib, which was a special that night, my dog would not eat. There was nothing but fat and gristle and extremely thin cut. You could tell our server knew it was bad as he never returned asking us about the meal, just showed up to give us the bill. Quality and professionalism which was there in the past is gone. Every aspect that brought us back has disappeared so we will not be returning.
