I've always had a good experience, but I'm irritated with today's visit. Food was great, but ordered steak tacos, and ONLY thing in it was meat. Thought for $6 they could've put some cheese and lettuce on them!

Always great food

Michelle Pritchard

1st time here, with my husbsnd. Everything tasty. Must try! Also, tasty Mango margaritas.

Stacy Moore

I've eaten there twice and have been very disappointed each time. The beans are always too runny, and the lettuce/tomato they put on top is always very sparse. ALSO, CHECK YOUR BILL. We were charged more than what appeared on the menu. They adjusted it at the Register for us, however. They do have great salsa.

Don Faust

Great food, reasonable prices!

Brian Rathke

Great lunch spot. Really enjoy the lunch specials while decently priced too.

Carole Mitchell

Went there with a group of about 15 people. The service was decent. The waitress refilled our drinks multiple times & chips as needed. One meal took almost the time it took most people to eat theirs but not the fault of the waitress. The food was good & price was reasonable.

Pamela Knight

Nice atmosphere. Diverse menu. Lots of unordinary selections. Food quality and quantity was excellent. I got enchiladas cozumel and loved it. They have huge margueritas.

My parents own this restaurant and im the daughter owner and i love the food

nate gustafson

Great food Good service Nice staff Cool atmosphere Clean

Mark H Hendricks

You can't get bad Mexican food in The Quad Cities, unless you go to a chain. Theirs is as good as anyone's, but their service is superior and they have a nicer atmosphere than most, with prices comparable to the cheapest.

Dru Marks

Enchiladas El Patron...some of the best chicken enchiladas I have ever eaten. I asked the waitress her favorite and she suggested it. It was spicy and delicious. Staff is very attentive and checked back often. Do yourself a favor and go check them out.

Jaime Delevere

Really good food. You will not walk away hungry.

Jeff Ashcraft

Slow service, very loud environment, urine on the restroom floors and employees's children running and playing thru the restaurant. Food is OK, but environment is not worth it.

Kathren Lee

Quiet thursday evening, good food, fantastic peach margaritas.

Patrick Street

Love to sit in the outdoor patio, people watching in the eclectic downtown area of Rock Island. Food is great, servers attentive, prices good.

Tamera Gottwalt

Good service and good food

Bruno Gattamorta

Amazing the pollo patron. Best Mexican restaurant Ive had in the states! Worth a visit.

cathy Bockman

Great food.

Lori Perez

It is not as authentic Mexican food as you like disappointed to the quality and flavor of the food would not recommend to anyone

Pam Aring

Service was extremely slow. Waitress never came to ask for drink refills. We approached her. When our food did come, my enchiladas were lukewarm at best. They did give me a coupon for another free lunch. I reheated an enchilada at home and it was good.

Ashton Michael

Great food, friendly staff, has a vegetarian/vegan selection on menu. My personal favorite is the vegetarian fajitas that comes with cooked veggies, rice, beans, and 3 tortillas. My favorite food place in the area. I plan to come back again and again.

Marsha Woolley

I love this place. Good food and great staff.

Lexi Parker

Every time my b.f. and I go here, we get messed up service, but when the whole family goes, we all get great service. It's always loud, but has great food at a reasonable price.

Dale Hoke

Great food!!! Friendly staff. It's our favorite!!

Jenifer Robinson

Everything about this place is great. Food is great. Service is great. Salsa is good, tacos are good. Everything I ordered from there is top-notch quality and the people that work there are top-notch quality. I'm in from out of town & can't wait to be back

We came here tonight with our son and his girlfriend for their birthdays. This place is their favorite and eat here often. This was our first time. We go out to eat every Friday night to a different restaurant that serves Mexican food. It …

Alyssa Almanza

great food, a little pricier than some other restaurants but definitely worth it. Great customer service every time I go in there and a beautiful restaurant. Thank you!

Randall Neal

Try the combo mocajete (beef, chicken, shrimp and fish). Delicious. Wasn't on the menu I saw so ask.

Steve Wells

This has become the only Mexican restaurant in the area me and my fiance will visit. Service is always great and the food is excellent.

James Houdyshell

We are regulars here. We love the food and the service my kids always ask about Sal which is who usually waits on us. He is awesome but the rest of the staff is cool too.

Sandi Boggs

Service was poor. After we ordered they came and told us no bacon for a chicken bacon dish my cousin ordered. So she ordered something else. My food came out then 10 minutes later her food was brought to the table. We both thought our food was good. Nobody ever came to ask if we wanted more drinks or refilled our water glasses. Not busy with many empty tables.

Carl Fleming

Good food and service

Mickey Foley

Well, asked for more napkins. She walked around and never came back. Didnt enjoy watching rerun football from the 80's or talk show from last night, but the servers had fun talking in the corner. Food was good , however. One star for service
