Mexican Cuisine
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.

Don't know why I have never reviewed this place, maybe it's because I can't actually recommend it for the food. I like my Mexican food with some spice, so far everything I've tried is a little on the bland side. The grilled chicken salad is usually good, as it is not supposed to be spicy! Lol I do like the waiters and the margaritas on the rocks! On Wednesday the drinks are cheaper. I like this place, but if you are looking for some spicy Mexican food, I can not recommend it!

This is some really good Mexican food and comes in generous portions. I visited last month and had the enchiladas supreme, which were superb. The service is consistent as well. Chapala was better than the Mexican food that I had in Springfield on the same trip.

Mexican is the one kind of restaurant that my family of six agrees. My husband could eat Mexican food every day, whereas I like to try all the restaurants. We were in Shelbyville scouting out all the amenities of the lake. I think most Mexican restaurants are the same. They all taste the same. They're all decorated the same. Nothing ever stands out. Well, I have to say this place does stick out. The food is horrible. The service is ordinary. The ambiance (minus the snazzy wood chairs) is barely a step outside of what used to be Hardee's. Usually, Mexican servers are chatty with kids and quite friendly. Not these guys. Making Mexican food from scratch is not difficult. It takes time at the beginning, but it can all be assembled rather quickly. I'm guessing way too much (if all) food comes from a can or is pre-made here. Just pass this place right on by and go to the cute little hamburger/ice cream stand up the road.

Don't expect great Mexican food nor service with a smile because they have neither. My carnitas was slightly dry on the outside and tasted a little old. It was however, tender. The sides - guacamole, pico etc were just meh. One of us ordered their chicken breast and I was expecting a good portion of the breast but what came out was a few rubbery thin slices of chicken. Food needs some serious love here.

Boring atmosphere. Salsa and chips are below average. No virgin margarita. Cheese quesadilla is dry. Lots of drink choices. Food is average.

I had been wanting to try out the restaurant and made it after work tonight. I got there around 5:30 and was promptly greeted and given a table. Chips and salsa arrived quickly. My water came shortly after, along with someone to take my order. It was just a few minutes and my meal arrived. While the chips and salsa were ok, my meal was terrific. I decided to try the shrimp tacos or "Camaron Acapulco" and it was a great choice! 12-grilled shrimp cooked just right with guacamole, pico de gallo, lettuce, tortillas and a tasty side of rice. And prices are quite reasonable. I recommend this place.
