It was really hard to make decision for us non-Spanish speakers. After asking too many questions to the waitress, we ordered beef and lamb soups, and a veggie quesadilla (they took out the meat as I requested but price remained the same) They serve lots of food it is good. But only the quesadilla and salsa tasted good. We ordered Dos Equis beer and taste much better than US store bought, they maybe import.

I recently ordered takeout from Tres Caminos and was very unhappy with the food, service and condition of the restaurant. My chicken taco salad was dismal: the chicken was shredded and looked and tasted dry. It was a very small serving, and the bill was More than $12.00 - more than posted on the online menu. The other item, enchiladas verdes, was a tiny serving, only one enchilada, not three as listed on the online menu. Why so stingy?? The total bill was $48.00 - wrong price and way overcharged! No beverage, no side sauces, nada! The fellow at the counter offered no explanation, and quickly looked away. The whole place was a mess - old and tired looking. I notice that your place is popular And I'm surprised. It seems like folks have gotten use to mediocre food, high prices and rundown environment. It must be the margaritas...

Finding this place was an awesome off the main find! They make the food to order in front of you like at a sandwich shop and the ingredients are quality.

Worth trying if looking for a fast grab of Mexican food in the east metroplex at a decent cost.

Mi Tierra Bonita Mexican Grocery Store (3203 Collinsville Rd, Fairmont City, IL 62201)…read more My love wanted to take me to a place near and dear to him: the very first Mexican restaurant he and his late father dined at when they first moved to St. Louis. It is located in Fairmont City, not too deep into Illinois, situated by farmland and near the raceway. The place is like a mullet: business in the front (store) and a party in the back (restaurant). The aisles of the store have everything one would need, from food staples to household items. We were warmly greeted by our waitress, who proved to be super attentive during our visit--even after we paid. We ordered a top-shelf pitcher of strawberry margaritas. It was a huge pitcher for $32, came with a side pitcher of ice, and we were able to make a total of 12 glasses out of it. They started us off with chips and salsa. The chips were made of super-duper corn and came with two spicy table salsas. For our appetizer, we had guacamole. It was freshly made but lacked salt and lime for what we are used to, so I took my lime from my margarita and squeezed it over the guacamole to make it better. I ordered à la carte: one quesabirria, a grilled chicken taquito, and a chicken gordita. The taquito and quesabirria were on point. The gordita was not the mainstream version of what I had been used to seeing, but still good. I would definitely return!

Me and my husband came here the other day and ordered chilaquiles and a torta. I came here specifically because i saw online that pozole was served there on weekends. However, when i asked for the dish i was told they weren't making it today. I was disappointed in that but wasn't going to let it affect my overall view of the place. My husband's Chilaquiles were waaaay too salty. He LOVES chilaquiles and always devours them, but could not even finish half of these. I tried it myself and i can agree with him on the saltiness. Even the red salsa was crazy salty. My torta came with a side of fries which i wish it was rice and beans instead personally. That would be a better pair. I felt like a kid eating a side of fries lol. We then ordered a margarita which was so strong in a good way lol! And a michelada which he thought was just fine.
