Typical Chain Mexican food. If you like food that tastes like it came out of slow cooker in the back kitchen? This is your place! The people are really nice though, and the inside is cool looking. The margaritas are good too!

I agree with Chris. This place is one of the best places to eat for pretty cheap in Jerseyville. It isn't gourmet, but I've never eaten there and been disappointed. Definitely hits the spot if you are craving mexican. They are pretty consistent with their food too, which is a good thing.

I got the fajita burrito here the day I moved to town and have gotten it every time I've been back. I go here 2-3 times a month and haven't been disappointed with it, yet. It's a typical chain Mexican restaurant that is slightly better than average. The food is good and affordable.

Honestly, if you guys think this is the best Mexican food in ninety miles of Jerseyville, you are clearly not a Mexican food connoisseur and don't get out very often. I don't care if it's a small town or not... Onto the review, Negatives: Stale chips - absolutely unacceptable for any restaurant to serve a stale opener...or hell, stale anything. Rice - not ethnic at all, this is the rice served from packets that you boil on the stove with peas and carrots. They cut major corners on this Mexican cuisine staple. Vacuuming right next to and partially under our table during dinner hours. Cheese dip was water with cheese flavoring poured onto chicken. At some point we were forgotten about while we were waiting to order. You want good Mexican food go to Carisilo's in Collinsville or Pueblo Solis in St Louis Hills...if you are up for the "within ninety mile challenge". Positives: The margarita was alright. The salsa was served in a spare carafe so we didn't have to keep asking for more salsa. Carisilo's and Pueblo Solis are my top picks and let me tell you, Mexican food is ninety percent of our eating out budget.

Bit of an unfair previous review. Typical Mexican food, is something of... almost a joke. You're not in New York, or Dallas, you're in Jerseyville Illinois. This is the best Mexican food you will find within, 90 mile radius Yeah I'll go that far. Homecoming-esque, large portions, and of course, the staple of Americanized Mexican, margaritas. This town previously didn't have anything besides a taco bell, so it's an improvement in leaps and bounds. When you're tired of dive bar food, this is a great deviation.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
