Our Guestbook
“ Great tacos, clean restaurant and cold beer! Staff was super nice as well! ”
“ Love their food. We live 2 hours away, and whenever we come through town to visit family, we stop to get tacos. So flavorful, and they are VERY generous with the amount of meat they put on the tacos. The cilantro and onions are always fresh, and the cilantro is never black or wilted. The flavor of the salsa is consistent even after months of not eating there (since living out of town). The meat is juicy and tender, and seasoned well. The rice is fluffy and not bland. Very good stuff, and for a fair price! ”
“ Ok, so I rarely write reviews. This place is fantastic. It’s hard to find legit tacos nowadays, but this place is worth it. Staff was amazing. Tacos were seasoned perfectly, steak isn't fatty at all like most places. Just authentic food. Definitely check this place out. ”
“ Good food served by friendly staff quickly, in plentiful portions, and at reasonable prices! How can you beat that? A horchata was big (especially for a medium) and delicious, too. It's an unassuming place I've driven by lots of times, but I'm glad I stopped. Nice job! ”
“ Lovely place very clean, rice water and red salsa was delicious. Every meal we order was amazing ”
“ Nice cozy casual setup, five star Mexican cuisine dining in my opinion. The food is authentic and taste great. Nice fair pricing as well. Anyone who comes to peotone or stops through peotone should eat there! ”
“ Good food, having authentic Mexican dishes and Mexi-American dishes. The meat is of good quality, never fatty and always tender. They have polite and friendly staff, good drinks and good gaming machines. The place makes for a nice night out. ”
“ We had a supreme chicken burrito which was excellent. It had pepper, onion, and rice with pico de gallo. Chicken was very tasty. Very cheesy. We also had a regular steak burrito. Tons of meat. Very nice. I am not one to eat hot and/or spicy so a sauce that was flavorful without kick would have been nice. Will be back!! ”
