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.

This more upscale location of the popular Xochimilco chain blends a festive atmosphere with home-style Mexican staples. Personally, I highly enjoyed the Thursday night sangria drink special, and the combination meal (#3) I ordered, while nothing inventive, was right in all the necessary ways. One detracting factor is that, perhaps since re-opening, prices seem to have risen beyond what inflation might account for. Though not expensive per se, a date for two is going to cost $30 here. This puts Xochi on par with Applebee's, Chili's, and other national chains, discounting the specials that such places often offer for two diners (2 for $20 menu, for example). All in all, this is a great place to meet friends, get some drinks, and eat appetite-sating Mexican food, but the experience falls far short of being anything special.

*This review is from before it was Omar's. I have not been there since it changed hands* I was trying to find Head West (a sandwich shop nearby) when I saw this colorful restaurant and had to stop. We were seated immediately in a booth in what is the best Mexican restaurant dining room I've ever been in. I ordered a strawberry margarita and the #18 lunch special (Chicken, steak, rice, and beef burrito). The margarita was delicious and not watered down and the burrito was awesome. Oh and the salsa was fabulous. nice and spicy. The bill was incredibly low! $1.99 for a margarita? What? I would definitely come back here the next time I go through Springfield, without even looking at any other restaurants!

Salsa and chips were good. Food was average. I had a beef burrito and a cheese enchilada. Shouldn't of wasted my time with the enchilada. My boyfriend had grilled chicken nachos and it needed a lot more cheese to make it worth the $13 it costed. Also, the "white cheese" was white American cheese not goat cheese. Our meal was $21 and we only got water to drink. I just think that's a little steep for mexican food.

This place was a nice little slice of Mexican food heaven in a state with very few quality Mexican options to go around. For starters, the cheese sauce is actually the queso blanco that you get in Texas and in the southwest. That delicious nectar of dipping sauce is just impossible to come by north of the Mason DIxon line, let alone Illinois or Chicago. My wife ordered the creamy chicken and loved her meal. I had the burrito loco and was a little disappointed, but just chalked it up to ordering the wrong thing. Our servers were really nice and the beer/cocktails selection was pretty decent. Can't wait to go back again sometime.

While the food is good, average, Mexican cuisine the location on Dirksen Pkwy has much better service and their margarita's are better. The ambience in this location is better but that is the only thing better than the North location.

Great media an food. Lunch Buffett is great deal. Buffett is also on Sunday. On beautiful nights the outdoor dining is awesome. Stuffed peppers and carnitas is the best thing on the menu.

We use to come here at least a couple of times a month but the food and drink quality really slipped. Decided to give it another try. Not bad food but far from the best Mexican food in the area. That's the only reason they get 2 stars. I'm being generous. We've never had a bad meal but never really good either. The margaritas might have had a tequila bottle waved past the glasses. If there was tequila in them it was a very light pour. They could sell them to those under 21 and never be accused of selling alcohol to minors. The place always sounds loud. Something needs done to muffle the room noise. Maybe we'll come back in a year to see if it has improved.

I came here Saturday with a friend. It was about 8pm and only 2 other tables were in the restaurant. This should have been a sign to me. I do not live in Springfield anymore and my friend has never lived here. We asked questions about the menu and she laughed at us. The server rushed us.... through everything. She was no friendly. Then when we went to pay, she left for the night we were told. Food was BLAH, service was bad, margs were ok... but I do not plan on coming back next time I am intown.

Been here twice. Not good. Probably the worst nachos I've ever had anywhere. It took me a long time to find cheese on the nachos. The beef is the consistency of paste like they are using an extender to make a small portion of beef stretch farther. Chips are straight out of a bag, not fresh.

Disappointing. Seeing Horsehoe on the menu took away any hint of authenticity from Xochimilco and made it another springfield restaurant that serves "mexican" food. This was the first of several disappointments on our visit, which was not my first time there. First, it was incredibly noisy -- but I guess that's understandable, given that we were there on a friday night. Second, the extensive menu seemed to have two prices -- $11.25 or #12.95 for entrees. Third, the food was drab. Not bad tasting, just plain, flavorless and flat. The chewy tamale had the consistency and appearance of soggy cardboard, with taste to match. Sorry to be so negative, but...authentic does not belong here. If it's authentic you're looking for, keep looking.

I've been here a few times. Food is okay but overpriced. There are better Mexican restaurants in the area. Turned down my business one time when I went during their posted hours.
