Monterrey Mexican Restaurant

I am so thrilled I found La Campirana when I was recently in Evansville for the day. We came in at…read morelunch and it was very busy with a mixture of people which is always a good sign! You order at the counter and find a seat. They didn't give us any numbers but still found us without any issue. The salsa bar was definitely a highlight and what drew me to this restaurant. They definitely adjusted the heat in the salsas to appeal to the most people, giving warnings of very hot and extremely hot. As a spice lover the hottest one was around a medium by my standard, but the flavors were excellent. We asked for some chips to sample the salsas before our meal arrived. They tasted homemade and very good. I ordered the chicken and pastor tacos with everything (cilantro, onions, lime) and also tried the pork tamale with green sauce. My bf had a chicken burrito. Everything was excellent, but the tamale was just a tad dry, but did taste homemade which was a plus. The tacos were well seasoned and the burrito was huge so we had leftovers. The food came out fast and before we left we also ordered a mango smoothie and mango with tajin/tamarind which was the perfect sweet treat. La Campirana is an absolute gem and one you should visit immediately!

The menu is so clear and easy to read. The breakfast burritos and salsa bar are next level amazing!!read more

Meal service requires you to order at the counter, then your food is brought out to you at a nearby table of your choice. This is a no-frills dining experience, but do not let that fool you...the food is top notch! I ordered a small variety of items to sample...a marinated pork taco, loaded steak fries and for dessert a flan. After a bit of a wait (they make everything to order), it all showed up at our table. The pork taco was dripping with charred pork flavor and came with grilled onions on the side. The double corn tortilla kept everything together as I dug in bite after bite. When the loaded steak fries showed up, my jaw dropped to the ground! This thing was big enough for 3-4 people to share...whoopsy! The crispy fries came layered with strips of grilled steak, a white cheese sauce, guacamole and a sour cream drizzle. Damn these things were good! And if that wasn't enough, I also ordered dessert because I am a sucker for flan (I grew up in Miami and have eaten probably one million flans). Honestly, was not a fan of their version's texture (too grainy, not creamy) and their sauce was not as sweet as many others I've had...but glad to have tried it. For being a small-town Indiana spot, I'd go back here no questions asked. There is an extensive menu for trying new stuff and I'd love to get that chance someday!

Continue south a couple of miles on IL 130 to the middle of nowhere and it is there that you, my friend, will find Mis Tres, a cantina oasis in the middle of corn. Mis Tres is by every measure a Tex Mex like any other you will find stamped into nearly every single small town and city in Southern Illinois, with a couple of exceptions. The portions they serve are quite generous. Much food will be served to you. Although the guacamole seemed to turn a little gray. Likewise, this is a very large place. Complete with booths, long tables, a bar, Mis Tres would make a great location for a large party. Food is typical Tex Mex menu, with no surprises or frills, but quite good. I'll also mention Mis Tres is very clean and tidy, a feat for how large the space is. Bright, cantina theme happening inside. Recommend! And happy Cinco!

On the other hand, the food is very bland, even the salsa, well below my expectations. Moreover, my food was served on fake Fiestaware with a chip in it. Not a small chip that could be easily missed, but a MASSIVE CHIP at least an inch long and half-inch wide. There is no way a reasonable person could miss it. A kitchen staff or server that would allow a plate that should be in the trash to leave the kitchen makes me wonder what else is coming out, i.e., trash-worthy food. I will go to the Taco Bell next door before I return to El Maguey.

We pulled in on a Sunday evening around 6:00 and the parking lot was packed, always a good sign. The vibe of this place is incredible. Rather than fill the dining room with all the Mexican tropes most do, here the owner leaned into a party vibe. Bright and bold pop art portraits of pop music stars, Mexican wrestling mask art, and a pop music soundtrack from 70s-90s. The menu is also different. Of course there are some of the traditional dishes you would expect, but the menu also pops with some great twists and unexpected combinations of flavors. In fact we loved our meal so much, we left the Holiday World theme park early so we could eat there again before heading home. They were even busier on a Monday night! We recommend the Foxxy Chopped Salad, the Ponata salad, the Chicken Mole (yummm) and the Steak Bowl. We didn't see a single thing come out of the kitchen we wouldn't have eaten. The staff could not have been friendlier. The owner was working the bar the first night we were there and came over to talk to us. He really want everyone to have a great time when in his restaurant. If you happen to find yourself in Jasper, check them out.
