I came for lunch with my daughter, it was mid afternoon. I saw a man behind the counter who came…read moreout to greet us, and I asked him,"Are you Julio?" he said yes, so I told him about his good reviews on Yelp. This was on a day with single digit temps so we were the only customers. The decor of the place was bright, cheerful and inviting. There were maybe 20-25 tables and a small bar in the back. They were located right on the main shopping area in Round Lake Park. My daughter ordered a fancy strawberry margarita which came piled high with pink Strawberry frozen mush in a salted frosted glass . She said it was delicious. We both ordered taco dinners with a variety of meats and shrimp tacos and they came with beans and rice, everything delicious and done perfectly. Julio checked with us if we wanted cilantro in our tacos and we both said yes. The tortillas were double, soft and made just right as were the ingredients. We sat for a long time eating and visiting, and had a lovely time. Couldn't have been better! The bill was about $40 before the tip. We'll be back. This place was only a mile or so from where I live so it is very convenient and easy to find with their bright yellow storefront. We were able to park right in front of the door.

Walked in and was impressed with the interior. Has a very nice rustic theme to it. The lady behind…read morethe bar was nice and brought me a menu. Then after studying the menu for a while and her explaining how to order off of it, I realized it was so limited. Tacos, quesadilla, burrito, and torta. That's it no enchiladas, no tostadas, nothing else just a really lame basic menu. I apologized to the woman and told her there was nothing that I was interested in and left. I can't really critique the quality of the food since I didn't have it. Just the two stars is in reference to the limited menu.

I had a Fajita Steak Burrito Dinner, which came with rice and beans. You can add red or green salsa to your food as both are available to bring to your table. The rice and beans were great! Rice was light and fluffy, and the beans were nicely topped with Mexican cheese. The steak burrito was freshly grilled and chopped up. Very nicely done. My compadre ordered a burrito and literally inhaled it! He seems to have approved as he was finished eating in 45 seconds. This is a great place to visit when on The Chain. I'll be back!

Had the coleslaw and mac & cheese...and that was not bad at all!Had a little bit more mayo than expected with a tad of vinegar, which was OK. Overall, it was a very good lunch/dinner. (by the way, I liked the Kansas City better than the Texas but Texas sauce was also very good! They make their own homemade sauce by the way ) Nick was a great conversational piece and they are going to be starting with a food truck pretty soon which is gonna be pretty neat. He does take a lot of pride in his work, and it shows! So I guess keep an eye open for that. Nice job, Nick. I'll give you the next star an update this review once I have your ribs. Is that a Deal? (because I'm a big-time rib guy.) Thanks again Nick!
