The boyfriend loves Mexican food so I figured we'd try a new place. \n\nThe decor is very typical of a Mexican restaurant. The food is pretty good. I've had some excellent Mexican food (close to the border) so for Champaign-Urbana I'd say it's pretty good. \n\nAs soon as you sit down they send over chips and salsa. The salsa is good but the chips were greasy. I much prefer the chips from Maize but at least these seemed to be made in house so that does make them a little better. \n\nThey do have quite an extensive menu, I ordered the pollo (chicken) tequilla, YUMM. The chicken was perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. It comes with grilled onions, jalapenos, and avocado on top of the chicken, a small salad, and two sides of your choosing. I opted for the beans and grilled veggies, the veggies were delicious and the beans were pretty standard. But all of this food can be yours for the low low price of $10. I will easily get three meals out of this one dish. They did screw up and brought me rice instead of beans but as soon as he put the plate down he realized the mistake he brought me a side dish of beans. The boyfriend decided to go with a mushroom quesadilla which came with a small salad and for his sides he chose rice and beans. Since the quesadillas have a veggie option he asked if they could do just mushrooms and they sure did load it up. For an appetizer we ordered the bean and cheese nachos. The cheese sauce was pretty good, same beans that come as a side, and the same greasy nachos. I far prefer the nachos from Maize. Will likely not order those again. \n\nThe service is great. We were one of 6 or so tables in there so it wasn't busy by any stretch but still respectable for a Sunday night. We had 3 different people come over and check on us. As soon as your water looked low they were very good about asking if you wanted a refill. \n\nThe best part of this dinner is that I purchased one of the $10 vouchers on yelp that give you a $20 credit so the whole bill came to $14.22 including the voucher. All in all that's a great deal for two entrees and an appetizer. \n\nWe will be back but will definitely get another voucher before we go.
