Most Disliked
Some diners have mentioned occasional issues with wait times during peak hours, especially on Fridays. The high demand for their flavorful dishes can mean longer waits than expected. A few customers have expressed that the music volume could be overwhelming at times, detracting slightly from conversations. There have been rare comments about the inconsistency between visits regarding the spiciness of dishes, though this varies among individual preferences. Nonetheless, these concerns generally have little impact on the overall positive experiences shared by many visitors.

Update: Have continued to come and this holds up as one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Hosted a group of visitors from Europe and they loved it all. My favorite is the Enchilada Suiza - as close as you can get to my favorite Sanborns in Mexico City. And the prices are still reasonable. Highly recommended. >> From four years ago: They now have online ordering! Love the food. And yes ..with take out you still get their wonderful chips and salsa at no cost. One of my top choices for Mexican food!

Hands down, my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Peoria metro area and I’d say I’ve tried most, if not all. Fast, friendly and professional service every time. I’ve been here multiple times and can say it’s never been anything short of delicious. Very fair prices, great portion sizes, prompt service and a great atmosphere are the reasons I always love coming back. Pictured here is the Chori Pollo and Birria Tacos. Absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend!!!!

Family Friendly atmosphere, Diverse crowd of customers, Music from the likes of such Artists as Ximena Sarinana- Lo Bailado & Ventino- Prometo Olvidarte played in the background. I was good with the chips and salsa and the Corona, yet the My Steak and Cheese Buritto [ with a little bit of scramble eggs] gave my tastebuds their 1st culinary ogasm. And look at the size! Gluttony taste too good. Check this restaurant out for your yourself! I received nothing from this post.

I always have a great experience here. Great food, margaritas, and customer service. One of my favorites is the Fiesta Burrito - it’s huge, filled with juicy pork, and covered in their queso/cheese dip and pico. Their salsa is really nice as well and isn’t spicy. I didn’t get a margarita this weekend when I went for lunch but typically go for dinner and do - they have a variety of frozen flavors and I especially like getting two flavors swirled together.
