My fiancé and I came here on Saturday the 15th of November. We just moved near the area and she was…read morein the mood for some good Mexican food. So, we saw good reviews on this place and tried it. After we left, these positive reviews either meant we came at a bad time or these people never ate at Fat Rosie's, La Mex or even Pepe's. FOOD: The menu is very large. Kind of not organized in my opinion. My fiance ordered a tostada and enchilada. I had the taco, chalupa and burrito. When we left, we both agreed that Taco Bell is so much better. The food was EXTREMELY salty. Her tostada was soggy with no meat on it. My chalupa? Not at all what I expected. Taco Bells chalupas are SO MUCH BETTER. My burrito was not even wrapped at the ends, food will fall out as I bit into it. We had the strawberry margaritas, which were very good and not watered down, so there is that. Service: Our waitress was nice and knew the menu. The only thing that I raised an eyebrow (and its not a big deal) was we asked for another basket of chips and salsa. Which was good! She left, started getting the bar ready and cleaning up. When she saw we were waving her down, we asked about the chips and salsa and she kind of got miffed about it. Ambiance: The decor was really nice. The establishment was very nice over all, but honestly, we will not be returning. To much sodium in the food.

The meal was pretty good. I ordered with corn tortillas for gluten free friendliness and no cheese or sour cream for dairy free friendliness.

Ok, if you are looking for one of those spit polished, heavily themed Mexican restaurants ... this…read moreisn't it. If you are looking for something more like a family restaurant, far removed from the tourist areas in almost any Mexican city or town, then you have found the right place. The place is clean. The chairs, tables and booths mismatched and well used but serviceable. The menus photocopied. The lighting is a little harsh. There's the compulsory photo of the Pope and the Madonna hanging in the corner. All of this and great food combine to make this my go to place for authentic Mexican cooking. I just sat down for a carry it dinner of 3 tacos pastor ($7.95 - Mexican style with cilantro, onion and tomato, thank you) some very good rice and the best beans I have had since I moved here from Chicago in 2005. I wish I could have shown you but I thought about pictures after I ate ... the smell was driving me wild! If your looking for real, authentic, family cooked food ... Get off of I-65 at exit 215, drive about 3 miles East to the stop sign, turn left and look for the orange building on the right. You won't be sorry. I'm thinking about going back again tomorrow!

El Charro had an awful kitchen fuel aroma sticking to all their beans and rice which sadly made their fajitas unedible. Here, no! I was reminded of the best of Mexican cuisine, soft and rich; flavors and spices done just right to point out why sometimes the restaurant can do much better than throwing something from a sad box in the microwave. I've enjoyed two visits so far. We have had tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas I think, and all made well though of course value has fallen given the lowest prices food ingredients here. This is a bright spot and sitting in a good location. Staff was pleasant, friendly, served our dishes quick. Can easily recommend up there with Nom Noms Taco Tuesdays and El Nopal!
