Little Mexico - (Near Mattoon, IL)

4 /5 Jeff Bailey: After we got our drinks, the service slowed down a bit, not so much that it was a problem, but still noticeable. My margarita, no salt, on the rocks was delicious, Georges Captain and coke was a very good pour also. Chips and salsa are complimentary. One salsa has a very slight sweet taste while still being tangy, the second is fairly Warm! I had beef Tamales with rice, beans, and guacamole. The sauce was also meaty and masa not too thick. George and 1 of our friends each got taco salads. There was a good balance between lettuce, tomatoes, meat and cheese. The sweeter salsa made a nice substitute for salad dressing. Our other guest had a beef burrito. It was packed full of tender, seasoned beef, topped with cheese, lettuce and tomato. All of our portions were big enough for 2. It seems that theres good reason that theyve been here so long. We will definitely visit again.

1 /5 Nate Annis: Food is straight up—not that good. Atmosphere and service are both great! But, the rice wasn’t soft, the white queso was gritty/thick and had no chile seasoning, the enchiladas smelled and tasted like store bought El Monterey stuff. And the salsa.. so not good—no cilantro at all, and doesn’t taste fresh/juicy. Draft beer was cold and good. Strawberry Margarita was lackluster and not very good, cough syrupy. Our waiter was great though, awesome and timely service. Food was just dang near trash, farrr from authentic. Might I say white washed Mexican food.

5 /5 Atchison Sheila (Traveling Crazy Cat Lady): Little Mexico has been one of my favorite places to eat for over 50 years. It tastes exactly the same and thats what I love about it the most! I can count on going in there after 15 years like this visit, just as delicious. The bartender 35 year employee, can use educated on how to be a little friendlier and have less of an attitude problem!

5 /5 Lisa Dillon: One of our favorite places to eat. Weve been eating at Little Mexico for over 45 years! Ive never found the Cheese and Onion Enchiladas with the gravy anywhere else and they are delicious. We love the beef hard shell tacos too! Excellent service every time we go. We drove approximately 60 miles just to eat there and it was well worth it! Delicious!
