El Jarocho Mexican Restaurant - (Near Carrier Mills, IL)

Mattox Pugh This quaint little restaurant was truly a surprise find. I was extremely skeptical, as to the number of reviews and that it’s in the middle of nowhere, as most aren’t that good. The owner was very nice, though the food was a little slow, but it’s justified since there was only the owner, AND it’s all home cooked. First was the corned beef smoked sandwich, and it was very good. The meat was well prepared, and the bread was toasted nice and added to the overall taste. The restaurant allows ordering any dish (including breakfast dishes) all throughout the day. So I got the breakfast sandwich. It was two over hard (?) eggs with sausage and pepper jack, and it was so tasty. The sausage was well cooked, the eggs weren’t overdone. Very delicious. And finally was the grand breakfast with eggs, potatoes, toast, and gravy. Similar to the breakfast sandwich, it was all masterfully cooked. 10/10, I’d definitely recommend!

George Jennings First time going and one thing is for sure .. they definitely give the family vibe.. I felt very comfortable and right at home even though I was surrounded by complete strangers... the drinks were good .. I will definitely go back for round 2

Patty Wente Such a cute little place in the middle of our quaint town of Waterloo. I had the honor of playing an acoustic afternoon there recently its just absolutely adorable.

Michael Mccormick Friendly, clean, great food easy to find. Had pork chop sandwich, tender great taste.

Raphael Rodolfi Get the Hash & Mash, it’s delicious! The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were deliciously seasoned and the corned beef hash was moist and paired nicely with the rest. We were served by Nicole and she was absolutely the best, super welcoming, friendly, fast waitress. It was my first time at this café and the experience made me say:” I totally have to come back”.
